It’s Inevitable: American Patriots Need Guns Because A War Is Coming

Submitted by CCRider

Guest Post by Brandon Smith

Should the actions of a handful of criminals be used as an excuse to take away the rights of millions of innocent people? Any reasonable person would say no, but when it comes to gun related violence the standards of logic tend to go out the window. There are many government officials that view each major shooting as a gift – They believe that tragedies are political capital, a tool for leveraging away our freedoms.

In many cases of mass murder in the US the first inclination of the corporate media and the political left has been to rush to conclusions. They immediately blame conservative political motivations for the attacks, while also blaming our 2nd Amendment rights in general. If the shooter turns out to be anti-conservative or doesn’t fit the racial mold, they simply stop reporting the story. The agenda is obvious – To paint conservative men as a dangerous monolith plaguing the rest of society.

Why do they pursue this particular narrative, though?

Perhaps because, statistically speaking, conservative (and libertarian) men are the predominant group keeping authoritarians at bay. The government attacks us because they are afraid of us, and they are afraid of us for a reason.  It’s not about what we are doing, it’s about what we could do if they cross the line into accelerated tyranny, and this is on the verge of happening.

We came within a razor’s edge of war during the covid mandates. If Biden had got what he wanted with his vaccine passport executive order, the country would have erupted into conflict. Many Americans have no clue how close we were. Understand that no country, including the US, is immune to rebellion, and such events tend to escalate quickly.

Leftists often envision their own rebellion as a sort of modern French Revolution in which mobs march the streets and rule the day as heads roll in the town square. They believe their “righteousness” is a shield from harm. But this kind of mob intimidation only works within societies that still respect the rule of law. Leftist insurgencies use a nation’s freedoms and laws against them by saying “You can’t touch us because your principles prevent you…”

US patriots have no such delusions. We know that when it comes to corrupt governments, principles and the rule of law go out the window very quickly if their power is legitimately threatened. Leftists can exploit mob actions, invade government buildings and burn cities to the ground because the government ALLOWS them to. When we do the same thing? Well…how many years now have we heard the word “insurrection” over a single protest on January 6th 2021?

The strategies of the leftists cannot be our strategies because government protections apply to them and not to us. This double standard is leaving constitutional Americans with few options, and the hypocrisy is getting worse by the day. As I write this, Joe Biden is calling for an “assault weapons” ban over a shooting perpetrated by a transgender lunatic acting on her political motivations.  We used to call that terrorism. Instead, the White House is throwing their full support behind trans activist movements and blaming firearms for the deaths instead of the shooter’s twisted beliefs.

Numerous mass murder events have been perpetrated by people indoctrinated into the leftist fold. I would usually be the first to look at the psychological triggers for a shooter, rather than pure political motivation. But, more and more, it appears that the political left is creating the very monsters we now see targeting specific groups. And in each scenario, the media argues that these tragedies were STILL caused by conservative policies. For example:

1) On November 21st 2021, Darrell Brooks jumped into his SUV and deliberately drove it through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, killing six and injuring 60 other people, including children and the elderly. He is cited on numerous social media posts supporting BLM related arguments and anti-white arguments. Some BLM activists took to social media to defend Brooks’ actions, and suggested that his act of mass murder was the “beginning of a revolution.”

At first, the media denied any race related motives or political motives for the attack. When Brooks’ comments were made public, they went silent. Suddenly, no one in the media was talking about the Waukesha Massacre anymore, and those that did talk about it argued that it was actually the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse (a young man who acted in self defense against an attacking mob) that justified the actions of Brooks.

2) On November 19th 2022, Anderson Aldrich entered a gay club in Colorado Springs called ‘Club Q’ and opened fire, killing 5 and injuring dozens of others. The immediate response by the media and the political left was to accuse conservatives of encouraging the crime and encouraging “hatred against the LGBT community.” Yet, when details finally emerged it became clear that the shooter identified as “non-binary” and had been a regular visitor to the club.

Once again, the media went utterly silent and the deaths at Club Q disappeared from the radar. When a mass murder event is not useful for leftists to push their agenda, they no longer care.

3) Then there was the recent mass shooting in Nashville at The Covenant school, a private Christian institution. Audrey Hale, a biological female trans activist, entered the school with a Keltec rifle that fires pistol rounds and killed 6 people, including 3 children. Hale reportedly left behind a “manifesto” which authorities have yet to release (Gee, I wonder why?), but going by her social media activity it is likely that she was politically motivated by Tennessee’s legislation against gender bending surgeries for children as well as bans against sexualized drag shows for minors.

Leftists and the media have aggressively tried to spin Hale’s attack as a gun control issue rather than what it is – Political terrorism.

4) Finally, we have the attack in Louisville, Kentucky at Old National Bank by a man named Connor Sturgeon, an employee of the bank that was about to be laid off who killed five colleagues while livestreaming the incident. Sturgeon has the look that the media likes (tall, young white man) but not the proper politics. Sturgeon’s social media history including his Reddit posts indicate he was a rabid leftist.

Using the pronouns He/Him, Sturgeon posted numerous anti-Trump and anti-NRA memes and rants, as well as pro-covid lockdown comments. There has in fact been a widespread effort by many platforms to scrub his comments from their pages as quickly as possible. In one group chat message, Sturgeon reportedly sent photos that included the statement “They won’t listen to words or protests, let’s see if they hear this…”

Media discussion on the Old National Bank shooting evaporated within a couple days, the fastest I think I have ever seen a story get buried.  I could list may other ideologically inclined attacks by verified leftists, but I think you get the idea.  Are there shooters with anti-leftist views?  A few, but they don’t receive protection from the media and the government like leftist attackers do.

Beyond the issue of directed attacks there is also the issue of overall violence in America. The vast majority of violent crime in the US occurs in Democrat run cities. This is a fact.  Data shows that 27 of the top 30 most violent cities in America are run by Democrat governments, including the cities with the most homicides. Fourteen of those cities also have Soros-backed prosecutors. This trend has been ongoing for years.

The problem is not guns, nor is it conservatives. Conservative towns are some of the safest places in America for the exact reason that there are guns everywhere in the hands of law abiding citizens. What the stats show is a trend that directly relates to a particular ideology – The leftist ideology (and by extension Globalism). Without leftists and leftist policies crime would plummet in the US. The more leftist extremism and globalism spreads the worse things get from generation to generation.

The inevitable outcome is war.

To be sure, there are peaceful means to delay conflict, such as separation or “national divorce.” This is already happening. Millions of Americans tired of leftist policies, taxes, mandates, bureaucracy, crime and cultism have left blue cities and blue states, and many millions more who have the means will leave in the near future.

There will come a point, however, when leftists and establishment elites will try to stop this separation from continuing. If they let people leave they then have to admit their ideology is failing, and that’s not an option for them. They will extort Americans into the society THEY want.  History shows us that when a population is disarmed the worst atrocities unfold.  The Soviet purge of millions of citizens through gun confiscation and then food confiscation is just one example that people should study before joining any anti-gun bandwagon.

One can easily see where this is going. The establishment will try to use force to make us submit to their system and we will not let them. That’s when the shooting starts. If we consider the problem from this perspective it makes perfect sense that these people are rabidly chasing after gun bans today. They know a war is about to happen because they know they are about to start one. And, they know there is a chance they will lose the fight should Americans remain armed. They’re afraid for a reason; they’re afraid of losing.

Pawn shops have never worked well for me. Maybe it’s just pawn shops in Texas. Most often what I see are price tags for used firearms the same or close to new prices. Negotiate but no deals.

Back to the comment about gun sales going down I suppose it depends on whose stats one reads. Pulling up only one search indicated gun sales are down for 2022. I do know the prices I have seen at two gun shows within a year’s time don’t seem to be offering deals new or used. And when one sees $800 + for an SKS…

That’s odd, Az and Nevada are cheap. Knocked oneshop down 100 on a handgun. The pawnshop down to 200 on a 400 dollar m1 carbine clone. It all depends on the people running the shop and who you are, where you are I suppose. Many shops upsell. Gotta go to the ones that don’t. Texas has alot of rich folks with good jobs, shop owners know this. Try an area that is poor.

What’s that one source you almost mention? From what I’ve read, gun sales in 2020 were 20 million, and that went down to 18 million last year.
Gun sales did go down, but they are still at historically high levels.

Larry,

“They” are already quite obviously terrified of people becoming willing to consider doing just that. “They” display this fear by showing up at, for example, aging and diminutive Roger Stone’s house to arrest him at 4AM with more than a dozen fast movers with rifles and plate.

It will only take a few instances of “spirited fighting back” to make it stop completely. The one thing LE is not willing to do is “take losses”.

Then there’s always the possibility of a coordinated raid response “opening a second front”. A phone or radio call away. Think “they” don’t know this? Watch their behaviour during a raid.

This man is wise. Finding yourself in a pitched battle with any type of civil authority means you have already lost, even if you “win” the engagement, which is unlikely. Remember, projectiles penetrate MANY layers of sheetrock. Hell, in our modern shitty homes they pass almost unobstructed by any real barrier, even our furniture is plastic now. Where is your family during this mystical battle where you John Wick your way to freedom? Bleeding out from shrapnel wounds from wood splinters and glass projectiles……A gunfight, be it against the heavily armed government or local law enforcement, is going to be a loosing situation and something that is the VERY last resort and action you take. There are many layers of resistance before this. Be smart, and stay alive. My two cents….

Actually people did respond to Weaver. It is likely what saved him and the other’s who made it out alive. People also responded to Waco. In fact there was militia incoming (as well as already there, which is almost essential), and that may have been the reason that they ended the siege the way they did.

The feds learned lessons from all these event, and that is it isn’t a good idea to get in a standoff.

We also learned lessons. Our little think tank back then were the first to call for the militia resurgence over waco and ruby ridge, and the first to call for the militia to respond to waco.

In fact, we were some of the militia trying to get there to support the militia already there. (long story), and that is if you are in the right (PR), can hold off the initial assault, and get the word out, it isn’t a foregone conclusion that you can’t “win” against the PTB (Wavers got millions of $ in recompense, not that it made up for the loss).

That is why being able to hold out if called for, having a good support group and good communications are essential.

Another standoff that most have not heard of.

That might work in a shoebox, but not under all circumstances if not the majority. One, they would have to sneak up on you, and that is where things like dogs and cameras come in handy (and nighthawks). And two, they would have to know what window and where to enter to be effective.
In some cases (if not most) all a flash bang would do is tip the defenders off somebody was ringing the doorbell.
BTW, that window security film would seem like a good deterrence. Would actually be kind of funny when the flash bounced back on them.

After three months in Mexico, I return to Portland next weekend, my wife’s home of 35+ years. I’ll do the spring/summer rehab projects needed by every 100 year-old wood house and return to Sayulita in July for the rainy season to work on building a concrete house. Time is running out.

I’ve tried to get my wife to contemplate the seriousness of living in North Portland (NoPo) where all the niggers lived before gentrification. We’re one chain-link malfunction away from the darkness that will entitle the entitled to evict us.

She’s comfortable with her 20 gauge over/under and Cobra 38 special, but she’s never given a thought to how she’ll feel after taking a life. Nor has she considered how she will feel about me killing ruthlessly with no questions asked.

It won’t matter one bit when it’s hammer time. I pity those souls who try to wrest her home from her grasp. I’m sure she’ll find the will to kill without further contemplation.

I’ve been through Portland three times. I knew some folks that have since moved away from that place that lived in an old, old multi-story boarding “house” I suppose it was called. They were there but a short time and were not at home the day it burned down. Scary.

One thing about Portland was driving through intersections with so many Subarus parked along the streets it seemed a risky ride.

My guess is that 99.99% of all single family homes are stick framed with exterior shear panel (OSB) and interior drywall … plus paint and insulation.

I’ve never known those sorts of walls to stop rounds from any high-powered rifle or pistol or revolver … please inform me what choices for walls you recommend …

I don’t or didn’t save newspapers (magazines another story, though never hoard crazy), but I do save at times cardboard from all the deliveries we get. It is useful for all sorts of things. Especially the bigger pieces. Put it on wire rack shelf / regular shelf or workbench / table, and just change it out when it gets to dirty (I like using wire and wire rack shelves for workbenches. In fact they are hard to beat for the money. or were), like from oil and from working on it.

Works good to block windows, especially in the winter to stop drafts. It is also nice to put on the floor in high traffic areas coming in from outside or as another layer on the floor as insulation. Works good too in place of drywall or such in areas like garages (I bought this place mostly gutted, but a lot of the work already done otherwise, cash for a song, from a guy who this was his baby, but had to sell as part of a divorce. probably over spending to much time here. anyways we used it in here before we drywalled also. gotta love fight club).

And I also fill larger boxes with it (I also shove the paper packing in to fill up space too), as one it is easy to store that way, but it makes as we are discussing, a bullet (or arrow) stop, for whatever the occasion, be it target practice (works great with pellet guns inside, have yet to try it with something more outside, at least as a test) or something more serious.

And when the son in-law was here (when they lived here before they went whacked and bought their own house. was really sorry to see them go) he couldn’t keep his hands off burning it for campfires. He had a real penchant for it. I think he has a bit of the fire bug in him. Though we still do do that especially when it piles up (in the box) and I get tired of looking at it or it being in the way.

I like the boxes that are long on the x an y, but narrower on the z. Makes it easier to carry and store, like behind a sofa (especially on an outside wall), but I can see some advantage to perhaps wider boxes. Though if you needed a wider box, just tape one up you have flat, and transfer from the others.

Certainly deserves some more experimentation.

Such walls can be hardened and or areas fortified without being to indiscret. One method I suggested back in the day was nice large high standing flower beds. More of a concern might be them trying to burn you out, which they seem to have a penchant for, though that isn’t usually a first predication.
Ever see Death Hunt? If so recall how he fortified his cabin.

Of course as with any enemy instead of taking fire as a first consideration, getting them in a killzone is a better option. Just like Russia as done to the ukes, let them come to you might be a better option, especially if they think you are dead.

In urban environments, fire control is paramount; molotov cocktails and all. Can’t plate/sandbag/fortify against fire.

If you’re fighting from your living room the battle is already lost.

Got friends with armor, night vision and street sweepers? Then you’ll be able to establish a perimeter. Otherwise, when the mob is drawn to the sound of your neighbor’s generator, everybody loses their virginity.

Now you are talking about completely different animals than what we were discussing, cops or such coming to detain you, etc., but yes you are correct if more in an ongoing conflict situation.
I would however point out that in urban environment in general structures are less likely to burn as well as stick built structure.
Most of them (in general) are going to be made of “stone” of some sort, which while the interior furnishings and such may burn, it is less likely going to be a blaze of ingnomanaty like a stick built home.
Most structures too in urban setting are required to have some sort of fire suppression, if it is still functioning, which can and likely should be imitated to some extent elsewhere.
As such it was one of the reasons I said that buckets of dirt (sand is best, but you can’t generally grow things in sand) have multiple uses.

TV news. They also trust gov. to do what’s best for all. Fox has sold out to the left now useless. Few alpha men in younger fighting age generations. Seems women and old men will have to stand up in the community protecting family and community.

Certainly all the slow progressive poisoning concerns me that is why I drink from a well. Now the creosote that was once used to treat fence posts around here as well as termites in many locals may someday leach into the well as the area was known for “outlaw” creosote post treating operations. It could have been similar to the illegal grows on the west coast in that once an area was contaminated the product was gathered and on to the next hidden spot for more contamination.

I agree, sadly. And over the last few years my focus has gone from being part of some kind of positive movement, to instead surviving and enjoying life while Rome burns. Keeping one eye on the door, and an occasional glance for signs of a meaningful positive movement somewhere.

Spicy time is within a few years. Most of the USA is going the way of Argentina, Brazil, Weimar, maybe even Venezuela. I expect a portion of the USA, geographically large but small in population, may avoid that fate. When it starts coalescing, I’m moving there.

I was in the asshole of the universe , Jonesboro , AR one time on a contract. The motel had a nice gig on oysters on the half shell, like a quarter each, one night each week. It was a bar/restaurant setting.

This drunk dude came in and announced, “I can whip anyone’s ass in here.” The guy had to be every bit 6-8+ and 290 lbs. People generally did not carry guns then as they were mostly “illegal” on one’s person and doing so could give one a big blemish on a criminal record. Of course that would be better than being dead.

I did not have the “heart” to kick the guy in the gonads, the only way I or anyone there could control this monster. Evidently though it was a common occurrence. After the guy figured out no one wanted to fight and left the locals explained. Dang good oysters.

If someone busts through the door shoot them. Now we can even get insurance in case things like that happen.

I travel much of the USA on a regular basis.

My state was comfortably “red” until 2018, when it just magically flipped to blue, and in 2020 it went ridiculously blue to an extent no one seriously believes. We all know what’s going on, in general terms, but no one has had success proving it in a way that gets enough of a following. I have been a part of the grassroots movement. What I see today is the good people leaving and the crazy people taking over.

My area is still red-ish, but the 51% “D” majority is ruining the state as fast as they can. Some form of secession is talked about, but going nowhere fast.

I don’t see things much better anywhere else. I have plenty of exposure to Texas, and I think it’s 1990’s California with bigger hats. I also notice that supposedly ultra-Red North Dakota had some of the most outrageous vax mandates and hospital behavior in the whole country. I could offer more examples, but what’s the point. Lots of the supposedly “Red” people are easily misled and fooled, and just become delusional sheep. They are exploited directly and indirectly, both by their supposed leaders, and by the opposite party as a foil.

Refuse to play the game. Don’t believe in the petty partisanship that our media serves up. Recognize that few people are critical thinkers and independent. You will not find that group running a major state anywhere. If you are lucky, you may find it managing a smaller area that stays out of the media spotlight. That’s what I’m looking for.

What’s coming to the blue states has been in them since March 2020 at the latest, and it’s plenty ugly. It seems like people are also forgetting the Floyd riots and BLM summer, which was about equally bad with Covid-19, maybe worse.

I think the high plains and the inland northwest have the best prospects internally. Both suffer from being land-locked, the inland NW more so. High plains will do OK if Texas is reasonably sane. 10 years ago I would have treated that as a given, but Texas, like Arizona, seems to be teetering between dubious RINOs, a few true conservatives, and a lot of the same clownworld globalists you find everywhere.

Kansas is part of the high plains and on the list of states I would recommend. Not my personal choice, but in terms of political outlook it’s OK. The Dakotas seem to be a little more securely red, along with Wyoming. Oklahoma is a wild card – very red in some ways, but the tribal reservation SCOTUS decision has messed it up in ways that are still being processed.

This Red State / Blue state bullshit shows the political stupidity of even the 3 percenters who supposedly get how screwed we are.
There are NO Red states anywhere and they have not existed since this century began. There are still red COUNTIES vs Blue Cities and Counties.
But the red counties are being systematically co-opted into purple and blue counties grow at an exponential rate.
Kansas is not a red state, it is 40 pct “lawrence jihadists’ PC Nazi-globalist fanatics/ 30 percent ‘normals’ who are pussies and deathly afraid to offend the 40 percent / and 15 percent gullible idiots who get told what to think by CIA narrative TV. If Kansas was a red state Kris Kobach (the last normal ‘don’t-hate-America’ and ‘let’s have a border’ 30 percenter to ever have a chance) would have won in 2018 or 2020 for Gov or Senator. He not only lost in landslides, but his positions are now universally disallowed for any viable candidate running statewide.

I have run political campaigns at a national level and it was obvious since the engineered extermination of conservative VA (which began in the 1990s and was completed when VA became a permanent electoral lock for the Ds in 2008) that GA and AZ were to be exterminated next. And they have been exterminated by RINOs Douchbag Doucey and Klaus Schwab clone Kemp who ushered in permanent electoral corruption.
Texas is a lock to become a clone of current California in short order.
Austin is the new San Francisco/Bay area PC Nazi-ville, Houston is dominated by cultural Marxist, Gay-Lesbian Nazi elites and a LaRaza-kills-the-Gringo police chief who is turning HOU into NY, and Dallas is for whatever the Soros DA and the jihadist c*nts on The View tell it to be.
Even red rural Wichita Falls has a corrupt Mexican PC-subsidy scammer Dem mayor and a raft of meth head and clueless idiot voters who use Tik Tok and MSM CIA narrative TV and YouTube to inform their ‘decisions’.

Nationwide, the Blue cities are teaming up with the exponentially growing army of blue counties to marginalize and then wipe out the few remaining red counties. This has been demographically obvious for decades and it is now beyond obvious. You have to be willfully stupid to ignore it.
The truth is anyone who does not drink the Schwab-Nazi-Globalist Kool-Aid is now on the equivalent of the Bundy Ranch. There will never be a ‘state’ or any large rallying point for 3 percenters that will be allowed to exist. The Deagel 2025 map is inevitable no matter how many prayer beads you rub.
And nothing will repair that.
When I first pointed out here over 5 years ago that no ‘elections’ or fake good guys with orange hair would save this Titanic I drew tons of downvotes. And I still do. But reality is starting to set in around here and the delusions are getting less absurd. (except for the glue-sniffer who thinks Kansas is a sanctuary ). That is nice to see.

Kind of supports my first maxim.
Even one man in the wilderness is not only the purest form of anarchy, but also the most legitimate form of government (sovereignty, monarchy, self rule), and the more people you add to the equation, the less chance the purity of anarchy and legitimacy of the government. – Goat maxim on government and anarchy.
In other words, you can’t do away with government, because “every man IS his own government, and lives most his life in a state of anarchy.” Only when you come into contact with an aggressive force (an illegitimate government has declared war, IF you are acting as an aggressor first, you declared war on them), and you comply do you lose your state of anarchy, and then unless you are subdued and made a slave, does anarchy not return afterwards.” – Goat maxim number 2
As such, “the only way to do away with government, is to kill off all humans,” which is exactly what the ptb want to do it would seem. – Goat maxim 3

It would seem so if history has taught us anything. Why earlier I said the eternal question. Why? Because by some eschatology, that the whole purpose of most the existence of mankind has been to settle the contention (great contest, wager, etc.) between god and satan, if man (with the help of satan) can rule himself (without destroying himself), or if only god or his heir are able.

It is why, as people ask, that god allows suffering and such, because this is as Jesus said, is not at the moment his kingdom, it is man’s / satan’s. Though you have to admit the god of the old testament wasn’t all that shy about pain and suffering. So what is fair for the goose is fair for the gander I suppose, one has the right to do what one will with one’s property (from a strict property rights view).

I suspect from a property rights point of view, and it is almost all consuming about property rights, as such that is so much of why they have / want debt lien on the whole world. Leastwise in an attempt to muddy the waters. That is after all what satan and his minions are good at.

As such it explains much (if not all) of what is going on that doesn’t make much sense otherwise, in that time is short (perhaps. They certainly seem to act as it is) and satan / man has to imitate god and god’s known policies, so to speak, to keep from being destroyed or thrown into the pit, etc.

That however is just my conclusion from the material I’ve had at at hand. Mainly the bible, which has been more of an education than most things. It is interesting when we used to use that as a text book to teach kids to read, ect. how they were so much smarter / educated, whether the morality aspect took hold or not.

You don’t have to believe in all the mumbo jumbo, but it might be worth internalizing THAT they do. As in all the players of what we would call or think of the NWO. Not that the NWO is a monolith in deed or strict purpose, or even in good and evil.

On the other hand having a somewhat agile mind I can think of other possibilities (aliens for instance, but even that mirrors the biblical), but none that are so tidy, wrapped in a box and tied with ribbon and a bow.

As a side note, I certainly didn’t come up with the adage “Nature abhors a POWER vacuum” from attending a college government class either (not that I ever had a college government class). It just seems pretty obvious if one is observant and thoughtful of the human condition, past and present.

In truth I have had very little college classroom education. My education has been very eclectic. I started out majoring in chemistry (I learned more chem in the army in AIT then I did college), but I really enjoyed the soft “sciences,” like economics, psychology (especially developmental), and sociology classes.

One course I would recommend for everyone (and it should be a requirement in high school) is a good western civ class, which I actually found, with some others courses, at a thrift store, put out by The Great Courses (The teaching company now online I think, then it was on VHS. I actually stored them to optical x2 which I do for good practice almost everything if possible. hint). Might be hard to find a good one these days, but it is worth the effort.

People will likely disagree, but back in the day we actually had pretty good public education IMO (and the lunches to a latch key kid were great!), at least the ones I attended.

I sometimes think that what beat all the rest, except the bible, though that was somewhat part and partial, was patriot radio on shortwave.

I should probably not discount “TV.” You can learn a good deal from it as well if you study it and not just mindlessly consume it, especially in regard to movies. Even the older TV shows had good instruction, like bonanza for instances. Now it seems they purposefully try to go in the opposite direction for the most part, and teach you the wrong ways to do things, if at all.

I would watch something on TV, then go out and try it in the main. For instance, damming streams and floating RR ties off the RR from when they changed them out, which I had seen on Bonanza (floating timber). Lots of fun, not to mention a practical skill and a source of cha ching. Ah, the good ole days.

Sucks I had to forego a body of water / stream of some sort on this property. I grew up with all sorts on or around. Streams, quarries, lakes and rivers, all within a square mile. I have no clue where the closest stream even is here.

Speaking of witch (pun), watched a good show here recently called Taboo that was interesting, though it might be a bit of a strain for the dogmatically inclined. Would recommend pretty highly, and It has a bit of a patriot bent, despite being produced by the BBC, though I suppose one could interpret it the same if across the pond from that point of view. It can certainly be interpreted from many angles. One (or more) of the things that makes it good.

Pretty convoluted to get to a recommendation for a show I know, but it kind of almost all relates if you watch the show. That wasn’t my intent when I started, but that is where the meandering has lead. I have been meaning to recommend it so it worked in nicely.

I was astonished the first time I drove to the DFW metromess after this Ukraine thing started that on both sides of Hwy 183 in Irving , TX were huge Ukie flags. Honestly I thought the whole place had gone gay, like the LGBT fag look.

There are a number of car dealerships along that stretch that have some of the tallest flagpoles I recall and HUDE US flags with Texas flag underneath. Gone! Replaced with a HUGE single Ukie fag. Simply blew my mind. It was some time later, months? that I passed through there again but the fag flag was no longer displayed.

The gay brigade requires a town which can or will support them. Find a town which can’t or won’t. The gay brigade requires full city utilities and Starbucks and grocery stores with alternative food etc. Small towns struggling not to decay into dust will not keep the gay brigade for long if they show up at all.

Look beyond the decay and cruft of age and history. Find the real core of these small towns which are not large company/corporate towns. The true rural life is not complementary to the gay parade. Took us 5 years.

You may be right. In the current American surveillance state it is impossible to organize and logistically supply a large enough group of people to generate a meaningful resistance movement. The internet is constantly monitored – email, social media, news outlets, text messages, phone calls, you name it. Trying to organize say 1000 people with sufficient logistics support without attracting government attention is impossible. If they detect such an effort the government will infiltrate the group and if any action is taken by the group, enormous resources will be brought to bear by the government. Just look at what happened on J6. The groups logistic support (food, water, ammo, etc) will be interdicted. It is not like the 1776 times where a group of people who could keep their mouths shut could accomplish something.

I agree but one person can not do much. Take an example. Let’s say there is a politician that is doing something that is against America and Americans. Now, if say a few thousand people go to their house at night and just stand there quietly, no speeches, destruction and no violence, peacefully – standing there holding little candles for 1 hour. Then someone goes up and tapes a short note to their front door that says “Don’t make us have to come back here”. That would get their attention for sure. It would certainly get my attention. It is too many people for the police to mess with. Plus if nobody is misbehaving there should not be a police problem. But there is no way to put that together. If someone (group) tried to organize a few thousand people the government would find out for sure unless they had a fool proof way to communicate and I do not know of any such way. I see people complaining all the time about how nobody is “doing anything about it”. The reason this does not happen is it can not be done without the government finding out and taking action.

The rural American ‘patriot’ Republican adherent does not have any power whatsoever and that’s why they are so dependent upon gun ownership and violent behaviour run amok in society. Brandon has an extremely narrow-minded world view, but he is an excellent writer that I always enjoy reading no matter the subject matter.

“When we do the same thing? Well…how many years now have we heard the word “insurrection” over a single protest on January 6th 2021?”

This is exactly why an armed revolution will fail before it even begins. Who are the armed Americans who would step up to stop tyranny? White Conservative Americans, that is who. The J6 farce was not an insurrection, even the liberals know this. However, they have convinced the American people that white Conservatives are a big threat to democracy. They made examples of those that were involved with J6 and are sitting back waiting for some white “gun nut” to raise arms to stop tyranny. Any attempts will be squashed and all involved will have the book thrown at them.

The best bet (for us) is to have the leftist mob go into destruction mode from sort of major economic collapse. They will loot, riot, and burn their cities, then spill into the suburban neighborhoods. Us white Conservatives only need to sit back and wait it out. My hope is that it comes down to that exact scenario. I have been prepping for well over a decade. I say let it all burn.

When the seated authorities act unaccountably and are never held to account, why would anyone defer to them? Nevermind the clown authorities stated solutions are always aimed at angering one or more groups of established “types”. Its like the transgenders in sports thing… it could be solved 3 years ago if they just created a transgender category for the self-mutilated to compete against each other in.

But no they gotta shoehorn it into female sports to make people angry.

Oddly you don’t hear about the women who became men wanting to compete in Mens Sports eh? Maybe they should stipulate you can only compete against people who are BETTER than you are. Then these willfully gender confused losers would stop picking the category that their sad performance shows as a top performance in.

Interesting article and comments. I am not sure what is going to happen in the long run. The history of the left is once they seize power (2020 election) they never voluntarily relinquish it. They will double down between now and the 2024 election. They fear Trump. They know what will happen if he is elected. They are losing control of the narratives they need. They worry they will not be able to commit sufficient election fraud to stop Trump without making so obvious they will not be able to lie and censor their way out of it. At this point it is 5th generation warfare. They will give that a try first. If it looks like that is not going to work they will move to actual violence. There is no way they can get the guns away from us before the 2024 election.

A lot of people are moving from blue states to red states. That will result in blue states becoming more blue and red states becoming more red. It will also erode the economies of the blue states and expand the economies of the red states. It will also expand the number of House seats for the red states over time thus changing the electoral college mapping. The left is well aware of this stuff. They are not stupid. Due to these issues the left may well attempt to accelerate the imposition of tyranny on America. I do not believe time is on their side. And, survey data indicates more and more people are “waking up”. The lies are not working as well as they used to.

We will just have to wait and see how things develop. In the meantime, if you are able to move to a red state then you should do it.

Carlson is not a Massiah nor do I expect him to turn our diseased society around on a dime. But it’s not sensible to dismiss his impact out of hand. He called the Warren Report into severe questioning. He called out big pharma’s lies and deceit on a national platform. That’s not nothin. He attacks the power centers. I think we’ll look back on this phase as the end of cable news and the ascendancy of the independent free press which is so for the 1st time in our history.

There’s talk of him getting on board with his own show with total autonomy on Rumble where he can let rip. He, Glenn Greenwald, Dan Bongino, and Russell Brand will represent a force that may blow the corporate presstitutes out of the water. That is something to root for instead of the constant woe-is-meism (Go ahead Auntie, tear me up).

In 1964 my grandfather (a Renaissance man) told his 14-year-old grandson that the U S should never confront the USSR militarily. He regarded our system as good and theirs as evil. Good will win out in the end. That was shortly after the Cuban Missile Crisis. In 1989 the Berlin Wall crumbled as did the entire USSR and did so with barely a shot fired. It CAN happen.

Especially when it is a big guy attacking a little guy. Over the last year people have learned a lot more about the situation. I know I have.

All you need to know about Bongino is he was former Secret Service then ran for US Senate for Maryland. He lost and promptly moved to Florida where he suddenly becomes a “conservative” radio star. Was he sincere when he ran for Senate? Would he have abandoned Maryland if he was sincere when running for the Senate. He came from nowhere and is now very wealthy. I’m betting controlled opposition.

They don’t want to know and only care about that which immediately and directly affects THEM. They don’t care about me or the issues I care about, why would I care what happens to them? Why would I make any sacrifice for them? Especially a pointless one as I see no viable way to ‘win’. What would victory even look like?

We live in Jersey right now. Jersey has the craziest gun laws imaginable. It is hard to even explain. We have had the 10 round magazine limit for many years. Hollow point bullets are forbidden. You can only transport guns from your house to where you are going to use them and back to your house. It takes like 2 months to buy a long gun and more months to buy a pistol. When transporting guns you have to keep the guns in the trunk and the ammo somewhere else. Forget trying to get a carry license – although this has slacked up a little due to the NY supreme court case. You can not buy pepper spray. You can not buy knifes over a certain size. It goes on and on.

People talk about the power of words. I point to the hollowness of symbology. Which, for the most part, is like me pointing out that my finger is not the moon to people who are certain the symboleers have put boots on the moon & that it is made of green cheese, to boot.

The Hero’s Thousand-faced Journey (& you thought “two-faced” was bad) & all such-like is, has never been, & will never be in short supply: that junk is the original central bank counterfeiting operation. And almost everyone is in on it.

It’s “just” exercise.

It can be functional to move the weight around.

But it’s dysfunctional to “animate” the weight by blowing symbolic smoke on it.

The injuns failed symbologies vis a vis the great white sharkjaw way’s “prevailed” ones doesn’t mean that the latter’s junk is truth. Might makes right & luck of the Special Drawing Rights ain’t truth.

Whole lotta people got symbol-shooters. And no shortage of short-reality long-symbol people say that if only you stock up enough boxes of the stuff then you&yours too can be last High Noon Gary Cooper wo/man standing.

Either those people have never been in a serious fight of any kind, or they’ve got post traumatic symbol disorder so bad that “coming to” just isn’t an option.

The four boxes of liberty … that have been licensed:

“Soap, ballot, jury & cartridge.”

(not a nationalist or a socialist symbol to be had. Those are other boxes. Cue Malvina Reynolds. Little Boxes. And then Eagles, The Last Resort – somebody here said one of the greatest bands: yes.)

“Patria.” Ancestor, or seniority, worship … more symbol-slingery… (& within “generations” too: so-called ageism, aarp discounts for attaining seniority, lab test reference ranges by age cohort [T @ 300 @ age 42? Science saith raise it. @ age 62? Science say suck it. etc ad nauseum…]… arbitrary symbolic bullshit … ∞)

… “I coulda’ been a contender” … like my far removed ancestor who fought the yankees/ymbols with his confederates/ymbols. (Cullen Bohannon’s symbolshooter was a Griswold .36. Then he unionized, switched up to a Colt 1860 .44.)…

… aptly titled episode of Seinfeld, “The Chicken Roaster”:

Elaine is audited by the J. Peterman accounting department after charging personal purchases to the Peterman account, including a sable Russian hat for George. Elaine is able to justify all her purchases as business expenses, except for George’s hat, which cost $8,000 and must be returned. George gets a date with Heather, the saleswoman who sold the hat.[2] Heather is annoyed by George, so he leaves the hat behind in her apartment as an excuse to come back, planning to win her over with sheer persistence. When George tries to reclaim it, Heather insists the hat is not in her apartment. As an act of revenge, he steals Heather’s clock. Jerry directs Elaine to Kramer’s friend Bob Sacamano, who sells Russian hats. However, the Peterman accountant is not fooled by the substitute hat, which is made of nutria fur. To save her job, Elaine sets off for Burma to seek the approval of J. Peterman himself, but Peterman refuses to approve her purchases without first seeing the hat. Jerry shakes the rain-soaked nutria hat while at Kenny Rogers Roasters, covering the food with fur and prompting a shutdown of the restaurant. The neon light goes off, and Kramer puts up a new banner, “Kenny Come Back”.

You say patria, I say nutria, but calling the whole thing off isn’t an option. And Kenny Rogers ain’t coming back. And the chickens ain’t ever leaving. But this original that he covered, swapping his nutria for mickey newbury’s sable, is muy-muy:

Those who seek “gun control” need to understand what history has told us about governments who impose “gun control” on their populations. It is a horrible reminder of the need to protect oneself from ALL ENEMIES; foreign and DOMESTIC.

What happens when there is gun control:

-in 1911 Turkey established gun control. Then from 1915 to 1917 1.5 million Armenians unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
-In 1929 the Soviet Union established gun control. Then from 1929 to 1953, 30 million dissidents unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated by their government.
-In 1935 China established gun control. Then, from 1948 to 1952, 20 million dissidents unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated by their government.
-In 1938 Germany established gun control. Then, from 1939 to 1945, millions unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
-In 1956 Cambodia established gun control. Then, from 1975 to 1977, 2 million people unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated by their government.
-In 1964 Guatemala established gun control. Then, from 1964 to 1981, 100,00 Mayan Indians unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated by their government.
-In 1970 Uganda established gun control. Then, from 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated by their government.
-So, in the 20th century at least 50 million people were “PROTECTED” by gun control. Their governments using guns, took the guns away from the people. Then used those same guns to kill over 50 million people. “Gun control” cost all of them their lives.
History will repeat itself if we don’t learn the lessons that past gun control has taught us.

You are exactly correct. The entire gun control thing from the left is total BS. Think about it. They know the history of it unless they are idiots. They might be idiots. The very vast majority of gun owners do not do anything bad with their guns – ever. Now there are some violent criminals who do bad things with their guns. Interestingly enough the vast majority of the bad people are in blue cities. Blue cities want to defund the police and not prosecute criminals. Blue cities are run by who ? The dems.

No, what the left wants is to get the guns away from law abiding citizens. Why would they want to do that ? Do they believe the law abiding citizens are going to come shoot them ? What do they plan to do to convince law abiding citizens to come shoot them ? That is really the question.

I’m going to cut and paste that and print it out. I am so sick of people blaming guns for killing and not the people. Every time I hear the term “gun violence” I want to throw up. There are worse ways to die than from being shot. Most people survive gunshots, currently.

The bigger question no one in the media will ask is what changed in the later part of the 20th century that caused people, particularly young people, to go off their rocker and shoot up a school or place of business?

How about maybe the wide spread use of SSRIs? Now they don’t cause most people to go on a shooting spree but they do have other adverse reactions, enough that they should be very tightly controlled if not banned altogether.

Okay — Brandon is wrong. “All is lost. Americans are gutless wonders. There has not been a violent revolt yet, so there will not be one. There is no line in the sand that the powers that be can cross that would provoke a violent reaction, etc…”
Hence, we few patriots here on the interwebs should be disgusted with our fellow Americans and give up all hope that anything can get better, ever, save for a giant meteor.
I have read such statements of despair now for better than 20 years.
I have also noticed something in that 20 year span — those disparaging the lack of backbone of their countrymen are not they themselves leading by example. They are not charging into fray while sewing hate and discontent and watering Liberty’s tree.

Why not?

I would hazard a guess, not that they are cowards, but that they understand in their gut that the time is not ripe — that such action given current circumstances would at best lead to a Pyrrhic victory and probably accomplish not much at all.

I would also hazard that most do not live in smaller communities outside the influence of the Blue Hives, and maybe spend more time on the interwebs than shoulder to shoulder with their countrymen. The Internet is not reality. It is a wonderful thing that helps put like-minded folks in touch with each other, as was not possible before, but it is not a perfect representation of reality.

In a more perfect world (according to me) my great-grandfather would have led the revolt in 1913 when the US Gov laid claim to whatever amount of his production it deemed fit with the income tax, and the right to debase his money while outlawing all other forms. Or my grandfather would have led the revolt when FDR stole what was left of actual money in 1933. Or my father would have done the same in the face of the draft during the Viet Nam idiocy. In 1992, when Clinton was elected, I suspected my fate was to die alone in a shallow foxhole with (hopefully) some of my reloaded 30-06 expended from my CMP Garand. I know for a fact that all three of my above ancestors were provably solid, brave men. I doubt it was cowardice that led them to the conclusion that armed resistance was not yet the right course of action. I cannot say I disagree.

But the world is not perfect, and neither are men, and we face an adversary who has done a bang-up job with boiling the frog.

Yet, we have preserved a key ingredient to achieving freedom — personal ownership of meaningful weapons. From my point of view, America is far better prepared today to fight for her freedom than she was in 1992, not simply in quality of weapons, but also in quantity, training, and attitude. I know that to be true in my small part of the world.

I cannot promise that we will not suffer the fate of boiled frogs, but I do not concede that such is a foregone conclusion simply because we have not jet jumped from the pot.

Those that have plans to permanently enslave us have no choice but to continue to clamp the vice tighter, just as King George and Co. felt they must. Looking back over history, there will come a day of reckoning that will be obvious to at least a meaningful minority, where the choice is action or enslavement. Until then, we are in the opening round of a boxing match, each fighter trying to feel out the tactics and abilities of the other, without leaving himself open to a fight-ending blow.

It is perhaps a maddeningly slow process for those of us who have a read a bit of history and have our eyes open. How can everyone not see where this all leads? I do not know. But I do know it is not time to despair, to throw up our hands while chiding those who have not done what we have not done either. Now is the time to prepare.

The final rounds of this match are in our future.

Very good. I agree. It has not got bad enough yet to motivate normal people. What you see on sites like this is extraordinary people. People who allocate time to pay attention to what is going on. Preppers – my wife and I have been prepping since Obama was president. Smart people. People who know history. People concerned for their family’s well being. People who want to be free.

I know a fair number of people. Very few of them pay attention to current events. They may have a week of food in the house. Some of them own guns but that is because we live in the country. Between now and the 2024 election it is going to get a lot worse. The history of the left is once they seize power (2020) they do not relinquish it voluntarily. They are not going to have a free and fair election and if Trump wins they pack their bags and go home. That is not going to happen. It is going to get ugly. People have about 18 months to get their act together. I believe there is going to be a lot of trouble before the election then a lot more trouble after the election when they steal it. They built a huge election fraud and they built the infrastructure to protect it. They are going to use it.

My town has many people either carrying concealed or open carrying. No shooting problems here. It’s the mentality of the person holding an inanimate object. when it comes to people being unarmed I just think about my dad telling me about seeing Jewish neighbors rounded up and marched off to the death trains by one nazi soldier with a gun. they never came back.
The WEF wants unarmed slaves, they are easier to control. when they bring out a CBDC and offer UBI for signing away your worldly possessions. Then you will be a slave. that gov. CBDC will have conditions. we will see it when the dollar dies and the bankers offer another scheme. It’s coming soon.

I personally will help those who were unable or too blind to help themselves if the shit breaks out, so long as I can, but anyone who doesn’t have firearms and plenty of freedom seeds by this point doesn’t actually deserve to survive. And me helping them will likely be a side effect of my simply trying to survive. I may wind up taking out some innocent because if you say you won’t be scared, you’re lying to yourself.

At this point if an American is acting on something from the “News”, that one might be an idiot. There is nothing that is coming as objective facts, its all slandered into narratives that they want people to accept at the surface argument. Doing so makes one a useful idiot and a clown. If someone wants to tell you HOW to feel about something, those people are manipulators and should be discarded as any sort of intelligent observer. Any action THEY tell one to take will be against ones own Self-interest. THINK then Act.

The Leftist ideology has nothing to offer mankind but ruined cities and mass graves. Their governing model is to stoke the basest of emotions in weak minded people to pit them against any segment of society that rejects manipulation. If you wonder why they are cancelling women look at what they are doing to our children. Even mothers of wild animal will protect their young. What does it say about Mankind that human mothers can be conditioned not to?

Yesterday, our POS communist governor in WA State signed HB-1240 … ostensibly a ban on ‘assault weapons’ (whatever those may be).

But the reality is worse than that as folks who’ve read the law have found out. HB-1240 outlaws the sale (and, apparently, transfer) and even sale of parts to repair any and all semi-automatic weapons in WA State — not only the dreaded, and fictional, ‘assault weapons’, but any and all semi-automatic weapons … which includes pistols and shotguns.

The only firearms left to legally sell (or transfer?) or even get repair parts for are revolvers and pump action or lever action shotguns and rifles.

The bill was sold as a ban on the dreaded ‘assault weapons’ … but, apparently, it was and is far more onerous.

Needless to say, the wholesalers and manufacturers in and out of WA State aren’t even shipping anything to dealers here … and my local dealer is likely closing …

If people didnt rebel over covid, they never will. People were fired and often denied medical care simply for not taking a medical treatment. The gov’t declared we have no autonomy, and ruined people over it. We did nothing. They collapsed small business, set our kids back a decade by shutting down schools for two years. We did nothing.

We’ve passed the inflection point where any resistance will be too little too late.

“We came within a razor’s edge of war during the covid mandates.”
I have studied our situation from every angle possible but I dont see Civil War as a likely possibility, assuming that is what author means. When the majority who hate tyranny can barely sum up the courage to comment on the Internet about falling into tyranny, let alone the horrendous sacrifice of canceling their big bank and Amazon accounts or not taking their kids to Disneyland, the notion of these people taking up weapons or dying for a moral and just cause is laughable. I covered the outcomes we face in a piece that may be published here soon.

Emphasis on the date as this has been talked about for so long and here it is 2023!

Seems I recall some “Militias” down around El Paso , 2007-2012ish that were staked out in the hills watching peeps swim across the river etc. Could have been other locals in that part of the world as well. I’m pretty sure they were armed but I never heard of them shooting anyone sniper style. They had communication with Border Patrol alerting of wet backs etc.

I doubt government was providing the radios or whatever means of communication. Cell service could have and may still be iffy in that part of the world. Anyway, I remember those and seems they went by the name Texas Militia. I’m certain more detailed info would be available on wiki.

A couple of links have “aged” in the article but this one still appears to be alive. At least it loads.

“Harmless”. It’s just a Ohio Militia group. No idea the group is still active.

Haven’t commented much lately… this post seems an almost invitation for government snoopbots to watch and make notes about potential threats out in TBP-land.*

US patriots have no such delusions. We know that when it comes to corrupt governments, principles and the rule of law go out the window very quickly if their power is legitimately threatened.

*TBP-land: a once-mystical realm where truth was free to roam and defeat lies on the principle that given a fair field of debate, truth could and would always overcome falsehood absent other undue influences.**

**undue influences: we are thrown into a world full of undue influences constantly. Who could have possibly guessed the entire cadre of ethical-seeming journalists would lay down and spread them like a bunch of French whores during Blitzkrieg.

There will be more, if I manage to edit it in time.
