I wonder how that will play out in New Hampshire, Tennessee, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, and wherever farmers with firearms are located. I’m picturing the ATF thugs getting shot off the roof in Waco times 100,000. Should be entertaining. Stock up on guns and ammo to join in the fun.

Will be easy to do. Just raise property taxes. The perfect weapon.
Conditional acceptance ….
and the vast majority will comply
Yep.
It’s already been done to farmers in my area….the great state of Texas…home of many self-armed people.
Looks like the farmers are accepting it.
They’re taking the farm land and building up neighborhoods of small ugly cookie-cutter homes.
Part of what’s happening is that they’re being annexed and zoned out of ag use. Farmers aren’t “accepting it” since they don’t get a choice, unless they have super deep pockets to fight city hall. That’s what Prop 1 is about – farms can’t be annexed and then re-zoned out of ag (if it passes).
The other thing that’s happening is they sell out and haul ass like what’s happened to my no longer small, semi-rural town outside of DFW.
Voting is mostly useless. I only go vote so I can vote against bonds (especially school bonds) and for anything that slows the behemoth of government.
Here’s the real kick in the ass…
I’ve gone to these new neighborhoods to check them out. They are selling & filling up very quickly. I asked the sales person who is buying these homes. They said the majority are Californians. I’m not happy about sharing space with these people. NOT why I moved here.
You’re lucky. I’ve got dotheads filling up everything around me.
Well…illegals are swarming around too. Gas stations/convenience stores, etc.
My family has already had to deal with them trespassing on their property…in a very rural area.
“and the fyre cleansed them, and it was goode”
-St Duke, Chapter 1, Verse 8
Lol.
Signs like that are full of bullet holes. At least in Texas.
A recent Zerohedge article showed TX gaining 100k California-tards in the past 3 yrs. Probably more headed your way.
Meanwhile MO only increased by 9k.
Yeah, it’s a real bummer. I’ve contemplated moving to Montana…would love to actually, but not in the cards for me right now at this time.
But, even Montana has some invaders. It’s also where a lot of white supremacists live, too. 😎
Montana cities have been invaded by Californians, too. Maybe enough will leave we can take over California.
We thought about moving to TX or FL but family is here and there is no guarantee either state will stay the way it is. At least here, I know who the devils are.
I said before I should just move to California. It’s beautiful & everyone is leaving. 😂
Really, everything is going down hill. There’s not a perfect place to live. I’ve tried hard to find that sweet spot.
Some people say Tennessee is the place to be.
They don’t call Bozeman “Bozangeles” for nothing.
Every Texan I ever met was a mexican.
Ergo, all Texans are mexicans.
Someone has to build the fucking roads so Texans can drive without drivers license and “insurance”.
Nobody should move to Missouri! It’s full of ticks and hicks, there’s nothing to do, it’s flat and ugly. Stay away!
Same goes for Kansas and Arkansas.
I remember….there used to farm land and darkness at night between Sherman and Dallas…….that went away over twenty years ago……..
All those Nuevo Americanos from Syria and Afghanistan have to live somewhere
But hey, no more mean tweets that made (some) people sad, so it’s all good
In my area, where property taxes shoot up 40% every year, the Republican controlled government calls it ” economic development. ” i.e. bribe California companies to relocate to rural counties, then act surprised and declare vote harder, when your state becomes California. Republicans are Mammon pwnd shit-eating dogs…the lot of them. A pox on the party of fools.
I would love 40% my property taxes went up 123% and the answer to the challenge was TUFF, pay it or else.
“Farmers” is an insult. In Texas WE ARE RANCHERS!
Abby- That is true for all of us, farmer or not. The restrictions and taxes will break most property owners and force them into the “You Will Have Nothing” state of being.
True. I’m rural & my property taxes have gone up significantly in the short time I’ve lived here. It is a concern.
It costs a lot of money to take care of the illegal aliens invading our country and TX is at the forefront of the invasion.
So far, our property taxes have stayed very low compared to some other MO counties.
Not here in St. Charles county. Taxes went up 20% this year. They blame it on increased valuations but forget that they can lower the mil levy.
Jackson county went up 40% in some cases. But I wouldn’t live in Jackson county. Some counties got hammered. Depends on where you live. Mine is mostly rural.
Grundy county for me.
I think Platte county has gone up twice in the 10 years we’ve been here. But beats living in Saint Joe, which has pretty much been taken over by meth heads and welfare queens.
My 5 acre West WA rural property, 2009 property taxes – $4300 per year. 2022 taxes $ 10124 per year. Fucking ridiculous.
Its called Extortion.
But the 100k homestead exemption will help?…through the next state elections.
And if that doesn’t work,anything loaned on or mortgaged…will be TAKEN!
Along with your bank account,securities,annuities,stocks and bonds…….the BIG squeeze…. biggest ever!…
That’s right Obb, they intend to steal it ALL and leave everyone dead broke or just dead or both.
Possession is 9/10ths of the law. They will have to force us out and maybe they will try.
This was happening where I grew up 50 years ago. My little town no longer exists. The farm fields, orchards, vineyards, tree farms, forests, creeks, ponds, wetlands, hay fields, etc. all gone. There is, however, a Whole Foods now. And cheap lawncare. And unrelated, good tacos, meth, and teen moms with mystery meat spawn running feral.
The “urban boundary”, tax increment financing, business improvement districts, subdivision acts, development-infrastructure bonds, public-private enterprise zones, school district bonds, open space initiatives, watershed initiatives, “smart growth” initiatives, mass transit districts, multi-agency development organizations, eminent domain “public benefit law”, and so on.
For a long while it was merely “quality of life” growth and the urban flight to “good schools”. Which of course needed to be built. Then it became a boon to the fast growing city to capture resources ahead of the growth by tax levy and land use overlays and master plans courtesy of some harvard queer with bad ideas.
Family farms were taxed out of business. Many took the early retirement though it was nothing like it has been in the past 20 years with the RE bubble inside the everything bubble. The developers who own the entire city council and planning dept were ready with their deep shekels of low-interest capital.
Its hard to blame anyone for selling they hay patch for $750k and GTFO. But indeed TPTB are looking to consolidate while they still can.
As a native Californian, I can say we are not all fucktard communist shit bags, but there is a second invasion happening on top of the third world combatants happening: dumb fuck liberals that are too stupid to look in the mirror and see that they are the problem are moving into the states we escaped to. Why is it a second invasion? Because they will bring their dumb fucking voter ideology that got us into this mess to their new home and in ten years wonder why their formerly new home is fucked.
The other problem is us. We tolerate this shit to no end as we do not want to do what must be done at the business end of firearms, swords, rocks or any other tool to correct this natural phenomenon of useful idiocy: corruption of logical, coherent thought by the education system, entertainment, media, religion and all other modes of capturing minds.
I look in the mirror everyday and I know I am not the one to lead this movement, but I cannot help but chastise myself for lack of meaningful action be it punching some fucken oxygen thief in the throat or creating some type of awareness that finally wakes up the sleeping giants in all of us.
It is tiresome to peck away at keys highlighting why and how we got here. But it is going to be alot more fatigue-inducing to physically put into motion corrective action to remedy the disease infecting this world right now.
I honestly observe interactions on the net and in person and I am uttely amazed at the depth and breadth of ignorance that has run amok in my area of habitation and the states I visited this year as well as the captured great white north of Canuckistania. I am amazed at my self-restraint in having not gone completely rogue, but I can say with no ego, no pride, and absolutely no love that self-restraint does not last forever and once it finally wanes, as I am sure it will for millions more than I alone, the shock to the system will be legendary, terrifying and liberating if not completely unavoidable at this point.
Best get to finalizing your plans folks. The invasion was long ago and the fight, the real, savage mortal fight is not far off. The plans are in motion by the enemy and I hope you all have the contingencies. Moreover, I expect you all have the will to do what needs to be done when it happens.
May fortune smile upon you on the field.
May your God(s) guide you.
May your aim be true.
May your will be done.
May you live to see your deeds provide for yourself and loved ones.
May your enemies fall quickly.
May your names live on in eternity.
May your truths hold steadfast.
If we run into each other on the fields may we be shoulder to shoulder or back to back slaying the enemy.
Odin, jeg beder dig om at beskytte mig mod dem, der vil skade mig.
Giv mig kraft og visdom til at beskytte mig selv.
Giv mig styrke til at besejre mine fjender.
Bær min sjæl med ære gennem de evige slagmarker og stå ved min side i Valhalla.
ZFG, out.
I am with you on a well measured staccato rant buddy.
Actually sounds like you’re golfing quite a few foxtrots.
Yep. Paradoxical name. However, when that black flag flies at full mast, it is is going to be in full effect for warfighting methods.
ZFG, out.
P.S. HTFAST!
Yeah, was reading this (early 1900s) old geology book a while back and the guy was lamenting about how when the usA gained California, they used property taxes to break up the big spanish haciendas. So they have been using that technique for a very long time. Tried a true.
HINT: Every census year here in KY, they find at least two census takers dead in their car. Just imagine telling these people they are moving to a stack-n-pack in the city under order of the commie NWO.
I know right. Imagine trying that shit in the eastern Kentucky coal regions.
Warren- They will have to bring a army to do the job and I would not bet on the army being the victors. I would advise the folks in that area to go ahead and paint the roofs of their cabins blue now before the price of paint goes any higher. KWIM??
See Rock City.
Ha! That was on every tin roof in the south at one time, Mark. Are you in Polk County, GA?
I had to look this one up. I assume you mean this?
WOWSERS!!! Introduce fear, see reactions. Like whoever is doing this only has lasers in one spectrum?!? Why stop at just the roof??? Paint everything blue that way truck mounted DEWs can’t affect you either.
Moos, they don’t call it “Blue Beam” for nothing. Wait til the fake and gay alien attack with the same tech compliments of DoD. Did you never wonder why they call the alien plan Project Blue Beam?
You mean RED spectrum lasers don’t exist?? What are you going to do when they roll those out?? repaint the roof?? You are being reactionary and ((they)) love it when they can make you dance like an organ grinders chimp.
Then You will get the RED Laser. Or at least a red spark piezoelectric effect.
If the People just did what they know to do.
The game would be over.
Let’s not forget the lesson that we KEEP FORGETTING.
They figured out a long time ago that as long as they do not directly engage us, they can go around the Second Amendment. It is not, and has not, been a deterrant to their plans.
The border is open. No revolution.
They openly hate Whites. No revolution.
They pass laws restricting the First Amendment. No revolution.
They allow “refugees” in who then rape our White women. No revolution.
They now are moving us towards WWIII. No revolution.
Need I go on?
Part of the solution employs the 2A, yes, but the larger solution is WHITE COHESION and supporting our race in a parallel system.
This.
This is the thing everyone needs to understand.
The frog is par-boiled but not yet dead. The human race could still be turned around – but we will need to change nearly everything in the current Clownworld dystopia to do it.
Well, there goes that whole “all men are created equal, I don’t see color” dodge.
Been thinking about this.
Gentle minds will want to skip to the next comment. (Gentle minds don’t really belong here, anyway.)
The European gene pool and culture needs a heavy dose of replacement software, along the lines of Reconquista 3.1 (because 3.0 was a beta that sucked).
We need to keep the things that made us thrive in the first place – things like individualism, freedoms, independent thought, hard work, and a society based upon laws rather than pure nepotism.
However, to survive in the current Clownworld multikulti environment, we also need to cancel a few of our weaknesses. We need a harsh and rigid application of racial prioritization – not because we necessarily are better, but because all other races think that THEY are better, and we can only counter this by adopting the same insider bias. So we need to deep-six all the egalitarian Benetton race-blind crap and recognize that it doesn’t work unless EVERY SINGLE PERSON in the world is following it.
Women. Women are a vital part of society. They do not belong in leadership roles, or voting of any kind. Historically, there is one kind of functional society: women as domestic members, out of public life. Today, there are several kinds of society, but only two that are functional: (1) women treated as a totally different class and kept out of public life (most of the Muslim world), and (2) a pretense of equality with a reality that women are treated as a different class (all of Southeast Asia including Japan). There had been a meme a couple years ago that “Islam is right about women,” meant to make liberal heads explode. While Islam is wrong about most things, it is right on on this one limited topic.
Religion. Nearly all the options suck. Modern Judaism, which has little to do with the Old Testament religion, is satanic and what Jesus warned people about. Islam is very troubling in a bunch of ways. Christianity is much better, but ONLY IF you thread a very narrow path looking at the four gospels, disregarding most of the Old Testament, and rejecting nearly all modern denominations from the Roman Catholics on down as being wrong on almost all points. Eastern Orthodox is maybe less wrong than some, but not exactly a prize. The “mainline” protestants have gone full rainbow and are a pathetic mess. Most of the US evangelicals are batshit insane and basically self-loathing shabbos goys for a satanic Zionism that they don’t begin to comprehend. There is probably good to be found in the Gospels and the origins of Christianity if you care to go on a deep and thorough search for it, but it’s not anywhere common.
I should probably write a book on this. Anyway, let’s kick off the monkey fest.
I have to ask, what non-denominational denomination should I join to be your kind of Christian?
I don’t endorse any particular denomination and I haven’t found a group that I can fully agree with.
But the more conservative Lutherans, the ones who don’t do rainbow-flag stuff, are the closest I’ve seen so far.
Any “church” that displays Israeli flags is off my list.
Any “church” that endorses pedos – that would be most or all of the rainbow flag crowd – off.
Any “church” that has a systemic pedo problem – you know which Vatican City-based one I’m talking about – is off.
anon, you may know from my comments that I am a Catholic. There is no other Church founded directly by Christ Himself. He only established one and His last prayer to The Father was that His Church would be one with Him as He and the Father are One. (paraphased)
The reality of the One True Church is why it is the one most vociferously attacked by the enemy.
Of course, I agree there are problems within The Church. However much heresy and blasphemy is spouted by Her clergy, even to the Pope, the official teaching, the dogma, has not and cannot be changed.
Instead of listening to off the cuff words of the current pope or the many Bishops spewing heresy, read the official catechism of The Church. It details all the dogma, and uses The bible for all of it when describing the origin of each.
See also the book by Cardinal John Henry Newman, “An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine”. A high profile Anglican, he set out to write a book refuting the claims of The Catholic Church and found, to his initial dismay, that The Bible and history proved him wrong. He spent the rest of his life writing Catholic apologetic works.
Don’t follow Luther, who was a heretical Catholic priest . Come home. The One True Church needs faithful members.
we in the orthodox church have been waiting for centuries for you to come home….
Assuming this was not a sarcastic reply, I will respond…. I know the Orthodox belief is that the Catholic Church left them and not that the Orthodox broke off. I do have a fair understanding of that history and can see how you would hold that view. The harm done to other Christians by the 4th crusaders sacking of Constantinople was a terrible thing and the Eastern Churches have never forgiven the West. I am angry about it myself. We Christians might have prevailed against the moslem world if we had remained united.
As for which is the true home of Christians, the Catholic Church does realize you have Apostolic succession and authority although I don’t think that recognition is reciprocated. I am dismayed that we in the Latin rite have lost much of the beauty of the Liturgy and pleased that it has been retained in the Orthodox as well as the other 22 other rites that are part of the Catholic realm.
With that said, The Catholic Church is unified and the Orthodox are separated even from each other. I have no where else to go. When strife breaks out in my family, I don’t leave – I try to resolve the family problems. We are brothers in Christ and I believe we will eventually be reunited.
A couple things. First, the Orthodox Church would argue about who is the one true real Christian church.
Second, to the extent of my knowledge of doctrine, I have no major disagreements with Catholic doctrine through the writings of John Paul the 2nd. Since his death the papacy seems to be in severe disarray and I’m not even sure if the current pope is Catholic in fact.
Third, there is a separation between doctrine and the overall institution. While I find the doctrine persuasive, I find the current institution to be incredibly problematic and unworthy of taking seriously.
If I agree with older Catholic doctrine but not the men currently running the church, am I not some kind of protestant? Why would the more conservative Lutheran churches not be my closest home?
We are mostly in agreement. I very much miss John Paul II and Pope Benedict. His detractors meant it as an insult, but I loved the title ‘God’s Rottweiler’ for Benedict.
There are also major doctrinal issues and I would say the Lutheran church does not have the authority passed down by Christ through His Apostles. (Apostolic Succession)
We have had many horrible Popes, but Catholic teaching remains intact – There is no ‘older Catholic doctrine’. I don’t listen to heretical priests and bishops. There have also been many of them spewing heresies throughout Church history. Many have been mislead and there are Saints who have described the road to hell being paved with the skulls of bad Bishops.
The heretical men currently in positions of leadership cannot re-write actual doctrine. At times it seems we may be headed for another schism. I hold out hope that Bishops such as Athanasius Schneider and Cardinal Sarah will become more prominent and that others with the same Catholic orthodoxy will prevail.
Anon maybe we should be looking to do what the Christians in the first century did? Before the Catholic Church came into being?
Just like John Newman, if you look at the first century Christians, you will find Catholic beliefs and practices – The Catholic Church. A more recent example would be Pastor Alex Jones, who began to move his Pentecostal congregation worship service to match the first Christians. Look up Detroit’s Maranatha Church.
We got a new so conservative speaker, bruh…Imma’ vote harder than ever…still not tired of winning…reeee
Just wonderful!
Thanks, TrumpTurds.

AAA grade wall kisser. Prolly run for president.
It will be Soylent Green on steroids!…..
Criminality will be off the charts!…..
You can’t warehouse people unless of course you lobotomize them somehow…..
The animals will live abundance!…
The jungle will be in cities!……
The arrogance of these demons!…
It will be like living in the world described in Snow Crash, where corporations and criminal cartels control everything and your only escape will be in the Metaverse.
That is already happening, Cricket. Mafia corporations and criminal cartels already control the government and the country in general. Zionist joos are at the top pulling the levers of this fiasco.
VR is going to be far more hypnotic than the obsession with the evil cell phone which is no way for humans to live, IMO. If ya’ll think things are fukked up now, wait a while.
That was a great book. I can’t stand anything else Stephenson wrote….but that was definitely a great book.
You gave me a new word. vaximized or covidamized
vaximized sounds better.
Pfizer profit was vaccimized.
It’ll get worse before it gets way worse.
Farmers aren’t what you think they are anymore. They are the biggest System supporters you will find.
Yep. Except for a few small grass fed beef and raw milk producers, all the farmers around here are welfare queens, planting monoculture crops with tractors bigger than my house.
I have relatives still farming in Sask, and yes… big monocultured crops, GPS controlled equipment and bleached soils. They don’t even raise their own chickens anymore, they buy them from costco. Farming ain’t what it used to be.
The rack’m stack’m applies to commercial feedlots and people alike, no differences.
Rural pacification is for the greater good , bruh…just ask any South Vietnamese.
Very good point, Flash.
A Classicist Farmer: The Life and Times of Victor Davis Hanson
Over the years, Hoover senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson has graced Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson many times, often referring to his family home and farm outside of Selma, in California’s Central Valley. So for this interview, we decided to go to Selma and see where Hanson grew up and still lives and where several generations of his family—going back to the mid-19th century—have lived and worked the land.
Would take about 24 hours to exterminate every sociopath that is fostering this nonsense.
All I have to say about being forcibly relocated off my land, talk to the hand.
ASK THE KULAKS ABOUT THAT
My favorite part “forcibly relocated” that should go really well in the rural areas. And now you know why they want to confiscate all our guns would make the forced relocation process a lot smoother.
The UN is serving the Devil and his anti Human agenda. Man was meant to live on the Land.
Well, it’s called the domestication of the human animal. Once it roamed free to find its food, then it was herded and fenced in, and finally put into pens, fed nutritious food that the farmer provided, vaccinated, milked, and put to good use even in death. The farmer and his family however, was now free to enjoy the countryside undisturbed by his previous peers.
EMINENT DOMAIN FOR PRIVATE GAIN!
People have confused what is happpening with what they imagine is taking place.
This is a civilizational collapse, it is not a setback, it is not an empire on the rise, it is not a civil war or a revolution. None of those thigs are taking place because they are part of different stages in a culutral arc.
This is the end of something and its forms are radically different than in a period of ascendancy or maturity.
Three things to consder in our particular case that ought to give you some sort of hope for the future;
1) This landmass is too large to control via domination and subjugation, it simply isn’t possible. Most people have not really gotten a suss of the scope of our size. I’m not talking about frequent flyers who see the world from 40,000 feet. You can take my word for it or you can spend 15 years criss-crossing it from north to south and east to west daily and realize you’ve still only seen a tiny fraction of it. It is almost incomprehensible.
2) The greatest tool of control they possess is your compliance, the fact that you continue to live in this system and feed and nuture it while bemoaning the course it is taking. The fact that you specialize and subcontract all of your own responsibilities out to others are the chains you wear. Being a consumer is a choice and the more you hold on to that lifestyle, the tighter they control you. The very first step is to find a way out of the system and as many of its tentacles as you possibly can. It is possible and there are just as many ways to do that as there are to justify remaining in it for the comforts and benefits. They come at the price of your freedom.
3) It’s all lies. If you aren’t aware of this fact by now, I have nothing for you. You either see it or you don’t. Most people (who are reading this) can readily see the B.S. in everything from the fake flu hoax to the fake war in ukraine, to the ridiculous theater of American politics, but they still believe in all of the tech mysteries, from A.I. and robotic soldiers hunting you dow, to the panopticon, but it’s just not real, not in any way that provides any advantage except in strictly controlled environments. And even then it’s a lie. Prisons are the most tightly controlled, most highly surveilled environments on Earth and they are a nightmare of violence, criminality, and drug abuse. If you can’t control inmates in prison, what idiot would believe that they are going to control 2.5 billion acres of open land?
4) Gen Z is going to eat these people alive. They aren’t stupid despite being deliberately maleducated and the ones who are intelligent and aware know exactly what’s going on and they want revenge. The sick Boomer cartels are on their last legs and with it, their bankrupt belief systems and ideologies. remember what happened to Christianity in America when the Boomer genration decided they no longer believed? 2,000 years of faith gone in a generation. The exact same thing is going to happen to progressive ideology and its roots are shallow indeed. I talk with a lot of young people and yes, I live in a rural area so they don’t represent the much larger number of youth who are literally retarded homosexuals and thus no threat, but I repeat myself.
This is the end times you’ve always heard about and most people- again, even here- are going on as if the Republic could be restored or that we can still have a global supply chain and good from all over the planet and avacados in January forever, but that brief blip of plenty is about to be sucked dwon into the malestrom that is spinning as we speak.
get your house in order, stop worrying about the things you have no control over and prepare to make it through, or help someone younger to do the same because there will still be people and resources and new future to help craft when the ashes finally settle.
And have fun while you’re at it.
Right off the bat, your first point is incorrect … look at china for proof … the US is about 9.8 million square kilometers, china about 9.6 … the US about 350,000,000 people, china about 1.3 billion …
Why is he incorrect? If you think china is locked down, you are sorely mistaken. Though tech in this regard certainly has and maybe the great equalizer. That tech has not saturated, and when and if the try to further its use we have seen push back in many places by the destruction of that tech. One of the main things that China has going for it as a matter of control, is the unfortunate tendency for the population to be good citizens, but that can and has, though not easily, be broke.
While I could quibble about parts of it, I think most of the whole is spot on.
And?
