Hi Folks,
I have read this entire thread and am trying to make sense out of what appears to be several conversations. Here is my take on things for what it is worth.
1. If you follow the line of Sol Alinsky, they want martial law to be declared, they want chaos so our society as we know it can be destroyed, wealth be confiscated and a new society built around their model. Right now there are something like 80,000 troops being trained to deal with civil unrest in our country. Obama is engineering an economic collapse, indeed the poster who said the government is shorting the gold and silver markets is totally correct. If the banks collapse, then it could easily affect the food supply and bingo they have the chaos they want.
2. I also agree with the poster that is implying it is not time to take the bait and start shooting, that just makes it easier to sell the public on declaring martial law. A well known fact is people will give up freedom for security, most every communist dictator who has taken over a free society knows the process well.
3. Patience in battle should not be confused with temperance or forgiveness, it is just as much a strategy as a sniper waiting for the perfect opportunity. I personally believe the health care bill in one step toward communism in America according to the master plan of Obama and those like Ayers who educated and funded him. At the same time, the best battle is for the hearts and minds of the American people. Just keep educating, writing letters to the editor, doing what you have to keep what is happening fresh in the minds of those who you interact with regularly.
4. Expect the worst. Yeah, I mean total civil unrest, breakdown of the food supply, etc. If one has been smart enough to prepare to protect their family; particularly with food etc. those that did not do so will come a'knocking on your door demanding you share, meaning you will all die because the supply is not adequate. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst, meaning keep a low profile, but be damn sure you do all you can to survive for a good 30-60 days on your own. One might recall that it was Van Jones or one of the Obama commies that even commented that they are going to come and take your farms. Big mistake if you ask me because farmers understand a lot of things and one thing is they will form a militia to protect themselves very well, just like some of us are quietly doing in our neighborhood. We will not go on offense but I would tell you we will protect our homeland with the same ferocity as a mother protecting her young.
5. I feel we can beat these bastards at their own game. Stall, delay, do what you must to avoid the catastrophe because if we can get through the fall election cycle and then again in 2012 the ship, with the right crew, can be fixed. I can tell you this from personal experience. I travel a good bit, and speak to folks all over the world on the phone. The bulk of the working producers in society know exactly what is going on and don't like it one bit. There was an article in the Tampa paper about the congresswoman from Tampa who voted for the health care bill. They said the demographics of her district was 50% democratic, 25% republican and 25% independent so they concluded she had nothing to worry about. I would not be so damn sure, even if 50% are registered democrats, they ain't all too happy with how things are going either.
6. I see great value in laying low and even letting some shots be fired and not returning fire, but rather rhetoric. There is something to be said for creating the illusion of being defeated to your enemy. If anyone read Gingrich's book, "These are the times that try men's souls", it is a perfect example of that. The country was demoralized, congress was running from Washington, soldiers were deserting and Thomas Paine helped come to the rescue by gathering the hearts and minds of many Americans. Then on a cold, freezing winter night George Washington attacked the totally unsuspecting British and Hessian soldiers and it turned the tide of the war. Why was it successful? For many reasons. One I feel that is not always brought up is this. The goal of war is to destroy your enemy and their will to fight. The British foolishly thought they had destroyed our will and found out that was not the case.
What was it Sara Palin's father said. "She is not quitting, she is reloading."
I really do suspect the press is trying to fan the flames to give the government an excuse to clamp down on the public. Until we discover who actually did those stupid things, we should sit back and not cast judgment. Be patient, prepare for the worst, be vigilant, and we will all know when it is time to go on offense. First major offensive starts in the fall just before the elections. We plan on meeting Glenn Beck at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial in August. We are attending his class next Saturday in Orlando. I will post information which I feel appropriate after we get back.
Stay cool, prepare your tool...
