Folks,
Don’t underestimate the opposition while doing a chest-beating dance.
WE will have ourselves: outgunned; outmanned; vilified/demonized, scattered about the country; few technological resources; virtually no intelligence apparatus; most likely no active foreign support (unlike the Founding Fathers).
THEY will have: massive firepower at all levels; control of the propaganda machine (aka MSM); much greater manpower; support/assistance of the majority of the population; an established and superior intelligence community; well-trained, well-funded, motivated and seasoned troops with combat experience in various theaters of war; massive reserves of manpower in the form of the security forces (FBI, DEA, DHS, state/county/local law enforcement); communications capabilities that include space satellites.
This is a fight we cannot win as the facts stand. That is, noting the facts above, FREEFOR cannot achieve a Constitutional restoration that encompasses the territory of what is now the United States of America. The corruption within the political system reflects the corruption in the body of the People itself; the People do not want Liberty. They want bread (food stamps, Social Security, welfare, MedicAid) and circuses (NASCAR, American Idol, Fantasy Football, Blue State/Red State antagonism). If we attempt to replace what they have and want with what they willingly gave up and don’t care for, then they will gleefully assist the FEDGOV in crushing any incipient liberty movement.
No, the best way to achieve a Constitutional polity is to retreat, concentrate, and build an entirely new entity truly based on principles of Liberty. Put simply, a secessionist/separatist movement, concentrated in one or two states, might (MIGHT) succeed.
Such a movement has several advantages:
(1) It concentrates the FREEFOR within geographic regions where FREEFOR would be embedded among friendly natives, reducing the percentage of the population willing to betray you;
(2) It places the FEDGOV in an untenable position — it won’t use its most powerful weapons against you if such entails revealing its true face to domestic and international audiences — the FEDGOV must maintain the fiction that it is one of the “good guys”. A separatist movement might thus leverage “international opinion”, as the Palestinians and Bosnians did, in our favor by manipulating the narrative — you can move from being a “terrorist” to being a “dissident” or a “militant”.
(3) It nullifies the motivational advantage for the OPFOR — by securing a geographical base, with a political-military framework that claims constitutional legitimacy, it might plant the seed doubt among the OPFOR as to the interests for which they fight. In such a fight, PSYOPS will be crucial for de-moralizing OPFOR and even (maybe) securing defectors.
(4) A separatist movement has the high moral ground and can leverage it for recruitment — the purpose is not to “overthrow the government”, but rather to “re-constitute the vision of the Founders”. In the eyes of the world, YOU are not initiating battle (No Fort Sumters). By seceding, FREEFOR withdraws its obedience and FEDGOV must either attack or cede the ground. The first serves to alienate part of the population and international opinion, while the latter undermines the legitimacy of the FEDGOV.
A separatist/secessionist movement serves as the political framework within which the military options are exercised. Politics with no military option only lends legitimacy to the current system (Tea Party, for example); exercising the military option without a coherent political strategy devolves into terrorism, and can be easily isolated and crushed (Weathermen, Montana Freemen).

A Comment
Mike
Sounds like a good plan. Well thought out.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that somebody bigger than obama is in charge. Someone bigger than obama and his administration is pulling the strings. obama is simply the puppet and the voice. This isn't just an America thing or a Constitution thing. This is a world thing. At least a western world thing.
Someone bigger than obama is looking to possess all the marbles. Someone bigger than obama is looking to call all the shots.
Is this entity (or entities) a benevolent soul? I think not. In fact, I think it is as souless as a piece of cold steel.
Who owns the media? Who owns the wealth? Not just in America, rather, in all the world. It's a relatively small group of people. I don't think that they are strangers to each other.
Who has the power and wealth to have a man like obama, a man that know one knew, a man we still don't know, elected to the office of POTUS? The election of obama was the biggest electoral aberration of all time. It didn't just happen by accident.
Call me crazy. Call me paranoid.
I think there is going to be a fight and I think it's going to be big and it's going to be ugly. I don't think it can be avoided.
We're currently in the midst of a world war. It's happening right now. Look around. We are in it up to our eyeballs.
When the decision is made that the time is right to take America there will be no half-stepping. It will happen fast and with great violence. A level of violence like the world has never seen.
Our allies have been disarmed. They're now paper tigers. They couldn't step up and help us even if they wanted to.
Putting all of the patriots together in one place would make it easy for "them" to get all the patriots at one time.
Again, you can call me crazy or paranoid or whatever but I think this is a bigger deal than most folks are prepared to believe.
Please excuse my grammatical and spelling errors :)
ReplyDeleteWell said as usual and I believe he's referring to the area where Pastor Baldwin moved which is quite large, but too damn cold for me!
ReplyDeletePlease excuse my grammatical and spelling errors :)
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a friend who wrote and said some in the Southern Movement were complaining that one of the women was "racist" heaven forbid, to which I replied that they needed to get their priorities in order since, after all, we do have a Marxist in the WH!:)
If at first you don't secede, then try, try again. I doubt it matters because I am not sure any one or two states would stand up and do it and most could not survive even short term if they did so unless others quickly followed and they formed a new confederacy with the exception of probably Texas.
ReplyDeleteForget all the Nay Sayers who will balk at that word because before we were brought under the Constitution the original states were a confederacy and it was the federalists that brought us down this road. Patrick Henry warned of the powers being brought in under the new Constitution as did Jefferson. many knew the republic was in jeopardy of being usurped from its inception by federal control.
Now I am no long lost son of the Confederacy but I am a lover of truth. I am a proud native son of the Live Free or Die state whose great grandfather fought as a member in the NH volunteers in 1861. He was wounded twice first at the second battle of Bull run (Manassas)with a head wound and secondly with a severe hip wound at the battle of Fredericksburg. He fought with honor in a war often without honor.
It is true I believe that it is too late to turn the ship and correct the path we are on. Too many people have suckled at the teats of the federal entitlement state. Too many have grown up into generations of we have a right to be taken care of. None of them realize that the founders acknowledged that we are created equal and have a right to the pursuit of happiness and that's it. After you were created you can pursue happiness which originally was worded as property but changed because of those who did not want to support slavery. Pursue is in essence the key word. You are not promised happiness just and equal chance to pursue it.
Sorry for going on so long. In the end this cannot end well. It will end with a fight unless those who love Liberty just roll over one last time. It will be a bloody struggle no matter how long or how short. I would love to tell you that those for Liberty will win but history say more often than not this is not the case. No matter I believe the die is cast and we must just prepare and be ready for what may come and when the time comes just do what we know is right...
Good words as usual and reminds me of this once again.
ReplyDeleteThis is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.
But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.
And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs"
ReplyDeleteGood words and I could live with just a small song sung around the campfire or behind a closed door for those who sing know that their very life could be in jeopardy even for bringing it to their lips.
There have been many good words. Our Founders were so eloquent with their words when they spoke about the struggle for Liberty but they did not end with words. They pledged their lives, their families lives and their fortunes to back their eloquent words. Our time is coming and decisions must be made...
