I only have one element that gives me pause, especially in the light of Prism et all...they might want violence in the streets...the excuse to implement their Allinsky-Cloward/Piven "final solution"and usher in a full totalitarian regime. If true then the OWS/Hardcore PaulBot/anarchist types pose the greatest threat to enact that scenario and it may indicate the better option is to postpone the revolution until the system itself suffers full collapse, rendering any dictatorial actions counterproductive for them...making the Galt option the preferable Phase I action we should all be taking. Thoughts?
The colonists had to wait for for the British to March on Concord, and that didn't happen till after Boston was place under Martial law, troops quartered in people's homes, and the harbor blockaded. Acting now would make Patriots seem the aggressors. They must be made to initiate the event. Trying to enter Homes in Texas instead of Boston. A family with children gunned down in their own home because they resisted an illegal search and seizure, an actual widespread attempt to confiscate guns, and so on. Otherwise, its the work of "terrorists" (and I am sure they will try to call the family killed just that- and make up some terror cell association for them) They will get their MEME out- but the question is if it will be believed - and the less credence they are given the better. As a result, I see the line being drawn at driveways and front doors. Ann Barnhardt had a recent repost I think is instructive:
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. -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We must meet them when they come to us, and not fire till we see the White's of their eyes. They can put whatever BS they want on the front pages about all of the evil Tea-Party terrorists and the need to go door to door to disarm them, but if they can't find people to do it, then it will not happen.
Meanwhile you keep the powder dry, establish and control a perimeter. Prepare places to hide, and surprises for intruders. Become as self-sufficient as possible. Form relationships with such neighbors as you can. Form a C-corporation and start looking to the govt like the fat cat for the serf ( but never the middle class) and develop the skills you will need if things go as badly as we fear. Use the company car ( a depreciated asset) and allow the company to give you all of the legal perks you can (Mandatory yearly Board meeting in in Hawaii this year you know, and you are on expenses. ). Manage income streams to lower taxes, and speed up the implosion. If your ethics allow it, go on the dole as the serf and get some of the money back they have collected from you all of these years with no return and no possibility of ever receiving one.
In the next few years they will move against us personally and we fight back on our own land, and in our own homes, or they do nothing and the economics reduce them to irrelevancy. The only real danger occurs when we fail to fight back when they are physically at our doors.
