How to tar and feather a corrupt government official.

This is part of my SHTF – Practical skills posts. Most of what I post (in this section) are lost skills; skills that Americans have forgotten though the centuries of disuse. So, now, as the fourth turning is rapidly approaching, these skills need to be dusted off and updated to fit the modern American lifestyle. Here we discuss the practical methods of “tar and feathering” corrupt officials, progressive Marxists, aggressive social justice warriors, Wall street bankers and members of the elite oligarchy.

It’s a discussion that’s long overdue.

Important note

This is not written for historical interest, or in some kind of jest.

These are serious issues and should not be taken trivially. We can only hope that things do not ever get to the point where humans are seriously contemplating these kinds of actions. Let’s hope and pray that we all never have to deal with these matters.

We, as Americans have been (for the most part) isolated from them. America has lived a life of relative calmness and tranquility for the vast bulk of population. We erroneously believe that it will always stay that way and never change.

At worst, we somehow imagine climbing up on a hilltop near our home and shooting police as they approach our “stomping grounds”. Those thoughts are all fantasies. We are not talking about those childish dreams. We are talking about real issues that mean death and destruction. We imagine something out of a television series, or a movie. We cannot imagine what really happens during periods of societal reset.

We’ve been isolated and insulated from that harshness.

Meanwhile the rest of the world confronts these kinds of issues with far greater frequency than we are aware of…

I argue that the United States is going to go through a barbaric time, and it will be on par with the rest of the world. This reality is something that Americans have no concept of. We just cannot imagine it.

It’s a horror.

So buckle up and get ready. If you find yourself trapped within an area of conflict, such as Virginia, then be advised. Wars do not play by the Geneva Conventions, or Papal Decree. They are nasty, nasty affairs.

There are events where you would have a high 70% probability of one member of your family being killed or maimed in the process. War is very ugly. Loved ones, family die.

War is very ugly. Loved ones, family die.

Cliff Notes

Note, if the worst does indeed come to past, keep these points in mind…

  • You can never win a Defensive war. Do not “fortify” your territory to try to defend it.
  • You fight on the turf and territory of the enemy, on your terms.
  • You always spend most of your resources going after the enemy leadership, their confederate instigators and enablers. You hunt them out, you target their friends and family. You flush them out of hiding, you capture them and you apply horrors to them Genghis Khan style.
  • To be fully effective in war, you need to create horror. Real wars are not tea and biscuits. It’s an ugly, ugly business where objectives must be realized with finality and horror.

Introduction

At a Dec. 3 2019 meeting of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, U.S. Marine Corps Reservist Maj. Ben Joseph Woods addressed the board and admonished Commonwealth of Virginia lawmakers for their plans to pass sweeping gun laws after they gained the majority in 2020.

The Democrats in the Virginia House are poised to impose controversial,  and likely unconstitutional, gun laws in that state, including a program  to register firearms.  Gun registration has historically been the first step in confiscation by extremis regimes worldwide. It also is a prelude to wide scale genocide. 

As Maj. Woods addressed the meeting, he spoke of his time in the military and federal law enforcement and what he feared politicians were doing to the state:

“I’m not going to address the bills themselves. What I would like to  address is the fact that at this point, so many people believe that  these are unconstitutional or draconian that as of last night, 30  counties in this state which have voted themselves…to be Second Amendment sanctuary counties.

The ugly truth of our situation is that is just scratching the  surface of what is happening…I work plainclothes law enforcement…I walk  around without a uniform, people don’t see my badge, people don’t see my  gun, and I can tell you: 

People are angry.

And I am frightened to the point that I am looking at moving my wife  and child…out of this state if these bills pass. The reason is because  my fellow law enforcement officers…

Tell me that they would not enforce these bills regardless of  whether they believe in them ideologically because they believe that there are so many people angry in gun shops, gun shows, at bars, we have heard it now, people talking about tar and feathering politicians in a less than joking manner…

That is a terrifying prospect and I have never seen people willing  to speak about something like that publicly…As a law enforcement  officer, I empathize with concerns people have over gun violence.” 

...

“The legal precedent we would set by allowing the legislature to  selectively ignore enumerated rights at will is the same mindset that  150 years ago let this country into a civil war.” 

The progressive Marxists don’t even bother trying to follow the Constitution. They no longer try, nor do they even bother to pretend. They know, after decades of getting away with crimes, that they can continue to do so without consequence. Thus, they are going to pass unconstitutional laws and expect everyone to obey them. No matter what.

They write the laws and you obey. This is classic tyranny.

This is not acceptable to the vast majority of law-abiding citizens in the state of Virginia. And as such, they are openly considering invoking the anti-tyranny measures inherent in the second amendment to the Bill of Rights.

So, with the understanding that large numbers of extremely pissed-off conservatives are openly discussing [1] capturing, [2] torturing, [3] tar and feathering, and [4] lynching the politicians in Virginia, it might be a good time to discuss the practical fundamentals of a punishment method known as “tar and feathering”.

Discussion of the “ugly side” of things.

This is a truly distasteful post.

It discusses torture as a form of punishment. This is Genghis Khan type of stuff, and not for the uninitiated. For the record… I do not like writing about this.

No Such Thing as Limited War
 
Shall we go one step further?  We're now watching the smoke rising over what amounts to a small-scale battlefield between the Virginia National Guard and the sheriffs and deputies of one or more counties along with however many gun rights advocates stream in from adjacent states to augment the flash mob.  

Unlike the slaughter of 1861, this will be broadcast live and in living color.
 
Of course, the National Guard has tanks and most sheriffs don't.  Odds are, they'll win, but only by slaughtering large numbers of Trump voters - and yes, obviously, it will be Trump voters lying dead at the hands of, ultimately, Mr. Trump's political enemies.
 
What would the President do?  

Well, what could and should the President do?  Legally, he can nationalize the National Guard and order them to stand down, but by that time the Guard officers who might have obeyed his orders to stand down would have long since resigned.
 
He could order in the regular army.  

Now we have a battle between two trained, equipped armies - yes, literally, that is a Civil War by definition, assuming the regular army was willing to obey such an order and fire on their colleagues.
 
Would other governors stand idly by?  

Dare we imagine what Congress would do?  Might there be a 25th Amendment coup, as the media and the bureaucracy have been agitating for since before Mr. Trump took office?  How would the half of the country that voted for Mr. Trump respond to that?  Don't forget that Trump would either be in the midst of running for re-election, or recently re-elected to office.
 
Or, he could just suck it up and let the Democrat National Guard destroy "his" people and the Constitution by force.  This, too, has happened before.  Paul Hindenburg, while President of Germany, let Nazi stormtroopers effectively take control of the country and suppress opposing voters and politicians until, in short order, Germany was a Nazi one-party state.
 
Does this sort of passive compliance seem characteristic of what we've seen of Donald J. Trump thus far?  Let's just say it doesn't seem yuuuuugely likely that he'd let his supporters be gunned down without doing something about it. 
 
Beyond this point, there are far too many unknowns to make any sort of solid predictions.  Wars never go the way people who start them intend, and the end result is almost always something nobody predicted and few wanted at the beginning.  

Novelists could write any number of vaguely plausible scenarios, and we'll leave that job to them.

I argue that it’s going to get ugly. Very, very ugly. It will be a horror of unimaginable magnitude, and most people will have a difficult time coming to terms with it.

You all shouldn’t.

Instead, you should read a history book or two. This is what always happens. It’s never pretty.

History

Tarring and feathering is a form of punishment which was developed in 12th century England. It spread across feudal Europe, and was also practiced in many European colonies, once Europeans began exploring and colonizing the globe. In this punishment, the victim was stripped, painted with hot tar, and then covered in feathers which stuck to the tar.

They were then released running about and flailing their arms in pain. They would look like some kind of demented crazed bird, running around all over the streets in circles.

The primarily goal of this was physical intimidation and humiliation, with people being tarred and feathered in an attempt to run them out of town. The term “tarred with the same brush” in reference to guilt by association appears to be derived from this practice.

This practice appears to have been practiced primarily among mobs and vigilantes, rather than being an officially sanctioned form of punishment.

Depending on the temperature of the tar and the attitude of the crowd, it could sometimes become quite violent and rather dangerous. Hot tar could cause significant burns, and removing the tar would pull out hair and pieces of skin, potentially putting the victim at risk of infection. Theoretically, covering the skin in tar would also prevent it from breathing, potentially causing death.

However, the goal of tarring and feathering was humiliation, not death, and not many deaths as a result of this practice have been recorded.

More commonly, people were scarred for life by the hot tar and resulting injuries from removal, marking them to other members of the community as victims.

People also died as a result of lynchings, in which they were tarred and feathered, marched around town, and then hung.

Tar and feathering is often used as humiliation prior to being lynched in the town square.

Several variations on tarring and feathering have been recorded. In the British military, for example, people once practiced pitchcapping, in which a soldier’s head would be covered with hot tar.

Removing the tar involved being willing to lose much of your hair and scalp along with the tar, leaving ugly scars. Sometimes the bodies of people who had been hung or beheaded were also tarred and feathered, to add humiliation, and to hold the bodies together when they were hung on the gibbet as a warning for other citizens.

Many people associate tarring and feathering with the American West, where the practice endured until a surprisingly late date, with recorded instances dating to the 1900s.

In fact, people were tarred and feathered recently enough for there to be photographic examples of tarring and feathering, in which streaks of tar and feathers can be clearly seen, suggesting that the practice involved less of a careful painting of the body, and more of a streaking with lines of hot tar.

Fundamentals

To conduct a “tar and feathering” punishment, the two (primary) ingredients are [1] Tar and [2] feathers. These used to be quite common back in the day, as all bedding, pillows and insulation used feathers. Today, feathers are relatively difficult to obtain and you need to procure them in advance. Additionally, you need to produce a container, or caldron to cook the tar to boiling, and a heat source.

You need a rack or device to securely bind the victim to. Do not expect to hold him / her steady while applying the tar. They will be very difficult to manage.

You need to strip, and bind the victim on a metal or wooden frame.

Substitutes

You can substitute other materials in the event that you are unable to produce tar or feathers. For instance, maple syrup, glue, water proof sealants for mobile homes, coal-tar epoxy and Lacquer might be considered suitable materials. Just make sure that the tar substitute is well heated to a temperature that would generate painful first-degree burns.

Tar

Ordinary roofing tar can be procured at any hardware store and DIY chain. Make sure that you follow the heating instructions and make sure that you do not detonate the tar over a fire.

Expert tip; Watch for the flash point.

Typically, you can pour the tar into a large 55 gallon drum that is sitting over an open fire. Then, using ladles, you can pour the tar over the victim.

Other techniques with the tar include simply heating the metal bucket that the tar comes in over a fire, or a propane stove.

Application

When applying the tar, you can either pour it over the victim or brush it on. Make sure that the victim is nude. They must be fully nude for a proper tar and feathering. Also, they must be bound securely. You can use handcuffs or wire ties. Just make sure that they are securely bound. A well welded frame with attachment points for the wore ties works best.

The idea is to fully cover the victim from head to toe with hot scalding tar. The victim must be fully bound for this to happen, and you must be very thorough in the application. No area of skin can be ignored.

Then you can apply the “feathers”.

Feathers

Feathers are rather difficult to come by in the quantities necessary for a decent tar and feathering. Sources of feathers are down coats and jackets, and bedding. You can also go to poultry farms such as chicken and geese and collect the dander and feathers there.

If gathering feathers are problematic, you can certainly use commonly available substitutes. Here are some suggestions…

  • Used cat litter.
  • Styrofoam peanuts.
  • Dryer lint (you need to collect enough of it).
  • Broken glass bottle fragments.
  • Cut hair (from a barbershop).

Alternatives

Let’s see what the Marxists do when they take power…

Necklacing is a preferred method of torture and execution under the Marxists in Africa.

In South Africa, the Marxists implement a similar kind of punishment. They only problem is that the victim tends to die, instead of being maimed for life. It’s known as “necklacing” and the survivors are scarred for life. It’s really nasty.

They would take a tire and put it around the neck of a victim. Then they would chain it in place, place a highly flammable liquid in the tire well, and set it on fire. It’s a horrible way to die.

It’s coming. That’s for certain.

Here’s a quote from one of my “must see” blogs called Busted Knuckles. He’s a word-smith that can say things far better than I can. Listen up!

Here’s just a highlight of a most excellent commentary

 Who the hell knows what is going on for sure?

 Being the Realist I am, Rose scented Unicorn farts and Magic Rainbows don’t enter my world view.

 Then we have Virginia.

 Every truly patriotic American is watching that like a hawk.
 The very real possibility of another Shot Heard Around The World is but one stupid mistake away from becoming a reality.

 A lot of people have decisions to make.

 On both sides of that whole scenario.

 Everyone has their own personal convictions and I most certainly have mine.

 I am hoping against hope that we have turned a corner at this point in time.

 We as in the kind of people who think like I do.

 There are a lot more of us than the media would lead you to believe.

 A vast majority as a matter of fact.

 It’s time we started acting like one.

 Push back.

 Come together as a united front against these Socialists.

 Spicy Time is coming, get ready for it, the party is about to start. 

Conclusion

The images are horrible, right?

You want to avoid all this, right?

You want to live a calm and peaceful life where your families can live in peace and harmony… right?

This horror is what happens when bad, evil and dangerous people are permitted to come to power, change the world around them, subvert the law, and rule over others. Once they gain control of your weapons of defense, it’s all over.

Climb into the boxcars.

Game over!

Game over, man. Game Over!
Game over, man. Game Over!

Human nature is predictable.

Those progressive Marxists believe in a stable life where they are always in control and that the systems that they have put in place can overwhelm the most basic of human emotions. They believe that through incremental steps, over a long time, their (long desired) changes to the American State and Federal Constitutions would be accepted without incident.

They believe that change is gradual. Conservatives believe that change in an on/off switch from acceptable to unacceptable.

Can you blame them? It’s been this way for at least 100 years if not longer.

But, they are wrong.

If the National Guard gets involved, it is not merely imaginable but inevitable that a televised bloodbath would ensue.  

What will happen when National Guard units encounter the county sheriff in uniform, backed up by a throng of deputized, armed citizens, many of whom are former military who took a solemn oath to defend the Constitution with their lives, their liberty, and their sacred honor?  What would happen when they start breaking down doors and confiscating guns?
 
It is inconceivable that the defenders of the Second Amendment would peacefully back down - that's the whole point of the Second Amendment, after all - and thus far, Democratic rhetoric doesn't seem to leave much room for backing down either.

Rage, anger, disgust, fury and horror are real emotions that no amount of Prozac can suppress. It’s been pent up for decades, and it’s gonna blow.

In the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina, conflict between the three main ethnic groups, the Serbs, Croats, and Muslims, resulted in genocide committed by the Serbs against the Muslims in Bosnia.

Bosnia is one of several small countries that emerged from the break-up of Yugoslavia, a multicultural country created after World War I by the victorious Western Allies. Yugoslavia was composed of ethnic and religious groups that had been historical rivals, even bitter enemies, including the Serbs (Orthodox Christians), Croats (Catholics) and ethnic Albanians (Muslims).

The objects of this anger should consider themselves lucky to be killed off humanely. A shot to the head, a lynching, burning down a union hall with the radicalized members all trapped inside…

Quick, easy death.

More often than not, however, it looks like extreme forms of torture are going to be the norm. It’s gonna be truly horrific. And if you are on the side “balancing the equation” back to Constitutional law as opposed to progressive Marxism, you had best know how to torture properly.

Let’s pray that the Marxists stand down and give up their assault on America. Because “Sunset” is coming and it’s going to be spectacular in it’s ferocity.

How do we know?

Read your history.

An archaeological team in France has unearthed a Gallo-Roman necropolis in Saintes, France, in which the remains of a group of adults and a child were found with iron shackles around their wrists, ankles, and/or necks. Archaeologists are trying to unravel the story of these individuals’ lives, their origin, and the circumstances of their death.

I so pray that we all can avoid this fate.

Final comment

Where are all those activist judges? You know the ones that are putting everything that President Trump does on hold. Why aren’t they issuing injunctions on these blatant anti-Constitutional actions?

Maybe its’ because the country is too far gone to matter.

America has no rule of law. It’s time to admit it. The tree of liberty and freedom has died a long time ago.

This post describes contemporaneous American events in the light of the loss of liberty and freedom. 

Most certainly, that once you have a two-tiered justice system, you actually have no rule of law. And without a Rule of Law, you cannot have either freedom or liberty.

Today, America does not have Rule by Law. It has Rule by selectively applied Brute Force.

There is no rule of law in the United States. And there hasn’t been one for some time. When you have a two tiered justice system, then you have no justice when the country is founded on “equality”.

Introduction

America was founded on the premise of liberty and freedom. We have all heard this, well most of us, anyways. (Who knows what they are teaching in schools these days.) This article makes the simple statement; freedom and liberty REQUIRES a robust rule of law applied evenly throughout the nation.

If you do not have a robust Rule of Law, evenly applied. You will not have either freedom or liberty.

America is toast.
America is toast.

Freedom and liberty REQUIRES a robust rule of law applied evenly throughout the nation.

When rules are bent in favor of one person over another, justice fails. Without justice, the nation fails. It might be a slow slide into the abyss, but fail it will.

In the beginning…

When In The Course of Human Events……

The Founders of this nation put forward a very basic premise:

"...to  assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to  which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them..."

That no government, no person whether royalty or not, King, Queen or Pawn, can take from one to give to another, to make one lesser than another, to being removed from one of the basics of humanity…

…all for the privilege of another.

This is America today. Where and what freedoms remain?
This is America today. Where and what freedoms remain?
"We hold these truths to be self-evident,  that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator  with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and  the pursuit of Happiness..."

That the very premise of humanity is that one has a right to live, to be left alone to do as one pleases, and to pursue — but not be guaranteed — happiness.  The only lawful and proper constraints arise when your exercise of same prevents someone else from having that same peaceful enjoyment.

America was founded as a place where people could aspire to follow there dreams unencumbered by government interference. Sadly this is no longer the case, as the movie "Tucker - A man and his dream", so clearly illustrates.

One cannot have a right to life if one cannot defend it using tools at least as powerful as those who would take it from you. You cannot have that right to life, that right of freedom and that right of liberty, if the rules of law are not evenly applied to everyone.

There is no freedom when the government can stop your pursuit of happiness.

Based on a true story. Shortly after World War II, Preston Tucker is a grandiose schemer with a new dream, to produce the best cars ever made. With the assistance of Abe Karatz and some impressive salesmanship on his own part, he obtains funding and begins to build his factory. The whole movie also has many parallels with director Coppola's own efforts to build a new movie studio of his own.

This is the story of entrepreneur Preston Tucker and the innovative car  he designed in the late 1940s. 

The car was attractive, economical, and  safe, and had many features not found on the cars of that time -- an  air-cooled rear engine, disk brakes, independent 4-wheel suspension, an  additional center headlight that pivoted left and right for better  vision when turning, a padded dash, seatbelts, and a popout safety  windshield. 

Tucker's promotional activities generated widespread public  excitement and interest in the car, but the powerful auto industry  blocked its production. 

Only 50 cars were ever made. 

The plan was to  produce the car in the former Dodge B-29 engine plant on the far  southwest side of Chicago. Many Chicagoans invested in the Tucker Motor  Corporation, and some bought dealerships. 

Even today, many people  believe that then-Senator Homer Ferguson (R-Michigan) is the person most  responsible for the loss of their investment in the revolutionary  ahead-of-its-time "Tucker Torpedo". 

- Tucker: The Man and His Dream 

There is no freedom when the government can stop your pursuit of happiness.

This is a basic premise. It is a fundamental requirement for a nation to be one where people can live within an environment of freedom and liberty.

America today.
America today.

There is no freedom when the government can stop your pursuit of happiness.

The Constitution

The Founders put together a document called The Constitution. It established the Rule of Law that the nation would exist under. 

The debate over it, and what needed to be added to it, is found in The Federalist and The Anti-Federalist; two books that are the chronology of the running debate of the time. 

Anyone who claims to have an opinion on the foundations of our nation and why the Constitution is important ought to have read both, as should anyone who claims a right to run for elective office at any level — state, local or federal.

Duh! All elected officials NEED to be well-versed in both documents. The vast majority today are not. 

Chief among the foundation of this nation is The Rule of Law and that it apply equally to everyone, all the time. It must be applied in each case evenly without exception. 

Over time.

By various people, all for various reasons…

Laws grew, became confused, morphed into one thing or another, and their application distorted.

Today, functionally, the Rule of Law does not exist in America.

The Anti-Federalist Papers is the collective name given to works written by the Founding Fathers who were opposed to or concerned with the merits of the United States Constitution of 1787. Starting on 25 September 1787 and running through the early 1790s, these anti-Federalists published a series of essays arguing against a stronger and more energetic union as embodied in the new Constitution. Although less influential than their counterparts, The Federalist Papers, these works nonetheless played an important role in shaping the early American political landscape and in the passage of the US Bill of Rights.

The Rule of Law.

I can point this out, over and over, and over. And so I will, using examples that we read about every single day.

The law clearly states…

Not one illegal immigrant has a right to live and work, and have children in America. This is true under any circumstance; The Rule of Law says so. 

It does not matter whether they personally intended to break said law; that merely encompasses whether they bear criminal culpability for the offense.  It does not matter what you call them either. You can call them “dreamers”, “hopefuls”, “migrants”, “refugees” and “travelers”.

If they do not follow the law, they must be imprisoned, and then expelled.

Migrants ride on top of a northern bound train toward the U.S.-Mexico border in Oaxaca, southern Mexico, in March. Migrants crossing Mexico to get to the U.S. have increasingly become targets of criminal gangs who kidnap them to obtain ransom money.

Laws follow Due Process and are implemented, policed and structured fairly. Otherwise, they do not follow the Rule of Law. All laws must follow the Rule of Law, and that means that they are derived from the Bill of Rights.

Red Flag Laws

‘Red flag’ gun confiscation laws violate every principle of liberty  upon which our country was founded. There is no due process associated  with “red flag” laws. A judge’s order to seize the firearms from an  American citizen who has not been accused of a crime, charged with a  crime, convicted of a crime—or who never even threatened to commit a  crime—based on the accusation of a single individual is anything but due  process.
           
Our accuser could be a disgruntled employee, a bitter  ex-spouse or relative, a vengeful neighbor, an anti-gun liberal or even  an anti-gun policeman. By definition, “red flag” laws use mere suspicion  of what one “might” do as justification to seize a person’s firearms.  Tactics such as these have been used in virtually every despotic regime  of history. 

- Pastor Chuck Baldwin, quoted at Survival Blog 

The key to having a Constitution, and a Bill of Rights… a strong organized structure from whence all other laws are derived, is that it becomes clear whether a law is constitutional or not.

Not all laws are constitutional.

Since the Rule of Law is derived from the Bill of Rights, any law that violates it is invalid.

  • How can you have an ATF who’s entire reason for existence is to infringe on the second amendment?
  • How can the IRS exist when it, by it’s own fundamental nature, violates the fourth amendment?
  • How can the FDA ban or arrest someone for using drugs when it violates the ninth amendment?

Now, the latest, in a long string of unconstiutional laws, the “red flag” law completely throws the “due process” scheme out the window. Where, an elected judge will make a determination of whether or not someone is guilty and action by the government needs to take place.

Once you remove judges from the equation…

You have no Rule of Law.

And…

And…

And it’s a big deal.

It’s a really, really, big deal.

If you do not enforce the Rule of Law, you do not have a nation.

The anti-gun movement.

Senators Richard Blumenthal and Mark Warner, both Democrats, have threatened legislation that is a rank violation of the First Amendment. They do so using the excuse of being necessary in response to the Christchurch live-stream.  

The second amendment.
The second amendment.

So…

Now we have 90% of the counties in Virginia turning into sanctuary enclaves that protects the Bill of Rights for the citizens of those counties. The Democrat reaction? Call in the military and increase funding to incarcerate everyone opposing them.

The Bill of Rights is not up for debate.

The elected officials”, the new government has decided to openly violate the Rule of Law, and disarm citizens in direct defiance of the Bill of Rights.

This arrogance is what the founders of the nation fought against.

And it’s going to be fought again.

Americans fought the arrogant British government. They did not like being treated as a "cash cow" while the ruling class spent the money on frivolities.

Political correctness is communist  propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the  conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade  or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less  it corresponded to reality the better. 
   
When people are forced to remain  silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse  when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and  for all their sense of probity. 
   
To assent to obvious lies is to  co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself.  One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A  society of emasculated liars is easy to control. 
   
I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to. 
       
-Theodore Dalrymple 

It is not possible to understand evil.

In contrast, the “American” empire acts like  Genghis Khan on steroids without his military genius: 

it appears to me  Washington is intent on the wholesale obliteration of countries, their  infrastructure, murdering the civilian populations by the millions, and  so on. 

Moreover, perhaps in the most memorable quote of Hillary Clinton  in calling some Americans “deplorables,” it seems the entire class of  rulers of America views its citizens as dispensable commodities and ill  disguised contempt.  

You cannot stop evil if you refuse to recognize it exists. You cannot accept that evil exists in this world if you close your eyes to it. You cannot see the evil.  You cannot see the dangers if you fail to watch the errors others made that led them to their demise.

Yet, these two elected Democrat officials want to violate a core tenet of law. Why?

Why?

The Democrats believe that they have achieved a strong degree of control over Americans and the only thing remaining to do is to disarm them. They are following a time-line and time-table laid out years ago, and if it seems like they over-played their hand it is because they did NOT expect a Donald Trump in the office of the President. They expected a Hillary Clinton.

Why the Democrats want to suppress freedom.

Governments are banning and attempting to ban guns and opinions related to keeping guns, not because they fear copycats: 

They are banning that speech and literally burning books because faced with the gore, the nastiness and inhumanity of these acts the people may conclude that it was the government itself that sowed the seeds of these acts.

And that the government conspired with gave comfort to said people and groups…

all the while rendering individual people powerless to stop it by infringing on The Right to Keep and Bear Arms

…and did all of the above intentionally.

Were the people to reach that conclusion they’d be correct and in response they might revoke their consent to said government entirely and demand it depart.

When the citizens reach the conclusion that the government is corrupted and needs to be reformed, the second amendment is designed to facilitate that change.

America is resembling a slave camp.

A slave is not allowed weapons because he might use them to become free.

If, before undertaking some action, you must obtain the permission of  society—you are not free, whether such permission is granted to you or  not. 

Only a slave acts on permission. A permission is not a right.

A collapse of cultures…

Cultures collapse when there is no cohesion remaining.

Cultures collapse when the primary means to get ahead is to stomp on someone else’s head instead of innovating.

Cultures collapse when cheating is no longer punished and is celebrated instead.  

Cultures collapse when cheating is no longer punished and is celebrated instead.

If that is not curtailed then collapse is inevitable — it is simply a matter of time.

Europeans dubbed it the Great War. Americans today remember it as World  War One, and recall it as little more than a precursor of an even more  violent Second World War. In reality, Democrat Woodrow Wilson’s justification  for entering the war as a freedom crusade, as a “war to end all wars,”  was, ultimately, little more than rhetorical cover for what amounted to a  war in support of one group of empires, the British and French, against  another, German and Austrian.
 
Indeed,  in a certain sense, it was a bankers’ war. While the ostensibly  “neutral” United States acceded to the British Navy’s starvation  blockade of Germany, Washington simultaneously traded war materials with  its Anglo brothers and floated London vital loans numbering in the  billions of dollars. Clearly, by 1917, after three years of macabre  massacre, Washington had a pecuniary interest in British victory.
 
That  may not be the version of First World War history that most Americans  learned in elementary or high school. Even less well known is the  cynicism and civil liberties suppression of the “Progressive”-in-chief,  President Wilson. 

His strongman tactics:  imprisonment of peaceful antiwar activists under the Sedition Act,  detainment of pacifists in prison camps, and prosecution of critical  journalists under the (still statute law) Espionage Act, are abhorrent  enough. Worse still, however, was the reflexive manner in which the  progressive “left” quickly fell in line with their president. 

The left  eats its own; maybe it always has. Immense majorities of “progressive  s,”just like their socialist brethren in Europe, supported Wilson and  the war in spite of past records of more dovish positions. 

They then  proceeded to attack, suppress, and often professionally ruin, or  imprison, their former compatriots —relabeled as “radicals”—such as Randolph Bourne and Eugene Debs.
 
Nonetheless,  for all of World War I’s horror, futility, absurdity even, the veterans  of the war collectively emerged from the sodden trenches imbued with a  vocal philosophy of never again. Indeed, they celebrated the moment the  guns finally fell silent, the 11th minute, or the 11th hour, of the 11th  day, of the 11th month, 1918, as Armistice Day. 

It was, romantic as it  now seems, widely believed that theirs would be the last war. In fact,  millions of lucky survivors left the war deeply dedicated to ensuring  that be the case. Much of the finest Western literature of the 20th  century, unsurprisingly, generated from the pens of disgruntled, damaged  veterans—Hemingway, Graves, Fitzgerald, Sassoon, and many more—forever  changed by the experience of needless war. 

- The (Real) Revolution in Military Affairs: An Interview with Andrei Martyanov ... a long but fascinating read 

Whether something is “hate speech” is in the eye of the beholder but irrespective of that The First Amendment protects it. 

Why? 

Because even the most-vile expression of dislike is one’s right to hold and have.  To state otherwise is to state a right to control another person’s mind and thoughts — to not only enslave as to labor but to thought itself.

That is profoundly evil. 

The facts are (and do facts matter in America any longer?) that on July 27th, 2014, when the East of Ukraine was already at war, a young woman and her little daughter—Kristina and Kira—were murdered from the shelling of Ukrainian forces. The mother then was named the “Gorlovka Madonna.”

Evil has occupied all American institutions for some time now.

All, not most, American institutions are not corrupted.

This very same act is what our government is now calling on “big companies” to do, it is what the left has repeatedly done to anyone who dares speak against their policies and desires.

This is true whether on college campuses, in corporate America or in the public square.

If this story was a movie plot,…the audience would walk out and want their money back. Way too unbelievable! hat’s right,  – College Bribe Mommy has a JD from Harvard,  Daddy has a JD from USC and was a prosecuting attorney for both Los Angeles and San Diego,  – before going into high tech and becoming CEO of Wireless Telematics.

Celebrities with dim-witted children got them into colleges by paying bribes and cheating. 

The claim that said students were “blameless” if their test scores were faked or they faked a “disability” to extend time and thus be able to cheat is a lie. 

Another view...
Another view…

Said “students” are fully culpable yet none of them have been charged; 

  • Not only did every one of them know they didn’t compete on the rowing team (for example)…
  • Any of them who got an extra hour or two to take the SAT or ACT knew damn well they were cheating, whether they knew their answers were being modified or not.

Why did this happen and why aren’t the kids in the dock too?

Universities do not obey the law.

We have no rules of law.

Colleges claim they need “diversity.” 

That’s nonsense; in a meritocracy the best rise irrespective of skin color, race or religion.  

The fact is that this “diversity need” is met by lowering standards and allowing unqualified people who cannot do the work into the school. 

When you no longer follow the conventions established by merit, you end up diluting the value of your institution. Eventually, the lowest common denominator becomes the norm.

This was going on in the 1990s and it has only gotten worse — much worse — since. 

There is, of course, no value in that to a person “selected” via “diversity” if they have to pay full price and will inevitably fail to be able to do the work.  

America today.
America today.

This in turn means someone else gets screwed so they don’t have to pay full price and they also don’t have to do the work they are incapable of.  

The alleged “degree” conferred by said school is thus rendered meaningless; it no longer denotes competence and to prevent that from being recognized and their “brand” destroyed said colleges conspire with employers and governments, both outwardly and not to “require” said “credentials” for an ever-expanding list of “professions.”

In short college is no longer about education.

Instead, it is about grift, fraud, bribery and slavery.  It’s a racketeering enterprise writ large and ought to be prosecuted as a felony, starting with the “most-elite” schools.  

Devolution of cultures.

Federal agencies do not follow the law.

The Fed is prohibited from buying anything other than government backed securities. 

Fannie and Freddie paper have on their face the statement that they have no such backing; go online and view any of their prospectuses.  

That the government bailed them out does not matter.

The Fed’s transacting in same and their continued ownership is illegal. 

Rather than change the law (which might provoke a debate over exactly what The Fed “prints”) they simply ignore the law and you let them.

You let them.

The Fed's legal mandate under the law is for stable prices.  

The Fed’s chair and other governors make dozens of speeches a year and testify under oath before Congress to their intent to violate the law with their “2% inflation target.” 

Inflation, is by definition, not stability.

Congress could change that law but doing so might provoke a debate over exactly what The Fed “prints” and so instead both Congress and The Fed ignore the law and you let them.

You let them.

The truth is that Money is a medium of exchange which you acquire by producing something of value to someone else.  It facilitates trade because it is fungible — that is, you don’t need to transact in oranges, chickens or hours of programming a computer; all three can be reduced to money.

A Pakastani American named Imran Awan worked for Democrats in Congress from 2004 – 2017.  While doing so it is rather apparent he ran a spy ring inside Congress and stole Congressional computer equipment, much of it with the knowledge of Congressional Democrats. 

Prosecuting him would have inevitably drawn those Democrats into what could have easily wound up being criminal culpability including spying for foreign nations.  Which is treason.

So they let him go.

They let him go despite proof that he wired more than $280,000 to Pakistan — funds that very well might have been used to facilitate terrorism!

We certainly are living in dangerous times; I  suspect it’s even dangerous to me to discuss the writings on his blog  and his two recent books with Andrei Martyanov in an environment of  omnipresent electronic monitoring and profiling of every individual  American citizen, especially those who question the warfare state and  challenge its goals, if only out of sense of morality and a  perception—at least on my part—that the policies pursued will be  destructive to America, which unfortunately seems hellbent on a path of  no return.

But given the above examples, along with the myriad things I’ve watched big business do in the last 20 years and get away with all of them — acts that were I to do myself I would be prosecuted criminally and go to prison…

So why would I?

If I was to undertake any of those risky ventures and put my capital and intellectual effort at risk any of those people could illegally undermine my product or service, putting me out of business or simply steal it. 

Now we know how and why Google and Amazon and Facebook got so big, so  fast. They were the corporate arm of the surveillance state.

Unless I was willing to personally kill the persons responsible there is nothing I could do about it and I’d go broke.  

I will not undertake such a venture for as long as all of this crap exists, and that’s why. 

I instead choose to hike, ski, run, drink beer and enjoy a much lower stress lifestyle.

The Christchurch shooter, obviously nuts, wrote a “manifesto” which governments are actively trying to suppress your ability to read. 

In it he pointed out an inconvenient truth — that there is no nation with a material white population percentage in which white women are reproducing at a replacement or better rate.  

That is, unless this changes white people will eventually go extinct.

Thus unless they’re so rich they can cheat (like those who did so to get their kids into college) their offspring have no chance of success on a merit basis.

That would be bad enough but our government is also importing cats and dogs from nations around the world for the purpose of meat to feed said study subjects, practicing animal cannibalism.

I’m not the only one who recognizes this; here’s another article pointing out many of the same things.

America is extended, riddled with debt and too reliant on ever more debt, past its growth peak, incapable and unwilling to address structural issues.

Both political parties have given up on dealing with debt, illusory monetary policies such as MMT are invented to render structural issues as irrelevant.

Meanwhile wealth inequality keeps expanding from administration to administration no matter who is in charge with voters distracted by the ideological divisions of the day, not trusting their leaders or each other.

And all this with 3.8% unemployment. What will this all look like during the next downturn?

Nobody knows. Rome showed us to not take civilization for granted. It also showed us to not ignore structural problems before they become too large to tackle.

Sven may be hopeful but I am not.

I’m not alone either.  Charles Hugh Smith has written a number of columns on this same point, including just recently.

Netflix, as just one example, effectively stole their entire distribution infrastructure, which is very expensive, through various forms of browbeating and when that was threatened they got the government to mandate their ability to force non-customers to pay for what they wanted during the Obama Administration.  

Then, when Obama left, both he and his wife got a multi-million dollar contract from the company.

Martyanov blogs about the political class, including Donald Trump, on his blog Reminiscence of the Future…. But I gave him, if you pardon the expression, a homework assignment, a recent piece by Whitney Webb describing the powers  behind Washington’s politicians, be they “Democrats” or “Republicans.”  

It’s hard to determine where the real power in Washington and the City  of London lies, that is to say who the actual rulers are, but the  greater power is evidently held by the central bankers and billionaires,  operating in a mob like fashion as Ms. Webb described, in fact actually  working with mobsters.

None of them would exist were there an even-handed enforcement of the law for the simple reason that all of them violate the basic law of business balance: 

The more people who touch a transaction the more it costs -- always. 

The reason for that is simple: Nobody works for free.

If you think you’ve found someone who is someone else is stealing from them because no rational person will perform work that benefits only someone else.

No reason to change. The justice system is beyond repair.

We have no rule of law.

This can’t — and won’t — change without Americans rising up by the millions and demanding that it stop and be willing to enforce that demand by whatever means are necessary.

Soldiers and armed civilians occupy the office of ousted Romanian leader Nicolae Ceausescu in the capital Bucharest on Dec. 26, 1989, the day after he was executed.

This does not mean violence is required.

However, until and unless, those who claim to be “our leaders” believe that any such demand has the force of the people behind it (and will be enforced)…

… should they stick up their middle finger toward common people (once again) as they have done for the last 30+ years…

… they have no reason to stop stealing…

…no reason to stop rigging the system…

…and no reason to stop screwing everyone else.

There’s no reason for me to be hopeful.

This is what I would look like if I was a cat.
This is what I would look like if I was a cat.

This is because there is no reason to believe that Americans, say much less the people in any of the other developed, Western nations will in fact demand this crap stop. 

In fact there is every reason to simply sit back and enjoy what little time is left, given that within the next six years tipping points will be reached in the US on a budget and monetary basis that will destroy the illusion of “growth and prosperity” and from which there is little or no chance of recovery.

Yvonne, I don’t think many in Russia view the United States as a  “fascist” power per se—it is indeed difficult to do so for a country so  ethnically and culturally diverse as the United States. 

This diversity  precludes the United States to define itself completely as a nation in  an ethno-cultural sense, nor does the political system of the United  States allow for the emergence of a dictator, a key element of the  fascist state. 

For all his bluster today and accusations in being a sort  of a dictator, President Trump is an extremely weak president, as is  generally the office of POTUS. 

The United States is a classic oligarchy  wrapped in a vast state bureaucracy a/k/a the Deep State which is  increasingly dysfunctional. 

If it is a fascist state in any sense, it is  a very sad in a comical sort of way fascist state, as the three-years  long Russia and Ukrainegate “investigations” demonstrated. Russians,  however do use widely the term of “liberal fascism” to underscore the  totalitarian nature of the so called “liberal” ideology of which the  United States, together with subservient Europe, are the main drivers.
 
As I  repeat ad nauseam for years now, the Western in general and American in  particular so-called elites are incompetent. I observed a precipitous  decline in the professional, the intellectual and the ethical levels of  these elites for over twenty years. 

Now it has reached truly grotesque  forms from pedophilia inside the ruling class, to the media being  utterly corrupt and incompetent. 

I can only repeat my point about the US  having no mechanisms anymore for producing real statesmen. 

Russians  know this, they observe this everyday and in my fifty-seven years of  life on many continents I cannot recall a time period when Russians had  such contempt for and rejection of the so called “democratic values.”  

This is simply unprecedented in Russian history.

Conclusion

There is no rule of law in the United States. A two tiered justice system is NOT rule by law. It is rule by power. As such, the nation will soon collapse. As the Rule of Law is a fundamental aspect of a thriving and successful nation.

There is no rule of law in the United States. And there hasn’t been one for some time. When you have a two tiered justice system, then you have no justice when the country is founded on “equality”.

A Rule of Law is important to suppress evil, and to keep the government under control and the nation stable.

Now, everyone, from all quarters and all points of view are starting to come together. All from different perspectives and are arriving at the same conclusion.

I pretty much covered this subject here, in numerous posts.

America is no longer a nation. When you cannot enforce a border, enforce laws, and prosecute criminals, you no longer have a nation. America is no longer a nation. It might still be the remains of a once great empire, sort of like Rome was after the Vandals sacked it, but as a functioning nation, it is no longer. When you cannot enforce a border, enforce laws, and prosecute criminals, you no longer have a nation. I argue that the United States is no longer a nation. Forget about being a nation that follows the Constitution. Rather, I argue that it is not longer a nation in the crudest, simplest, and most primitive terms. What it is is up for debate. But, a nation... no it is not.
Lawless Nation.

When there isn’t any rule of law, the people in power start to act tyrannical and dictatorial. Fundamental to this behavior is the disarming of the population. As that is the last remaining resistance to them.

Failure to obey the Constitution is treasonous.
Failure to obey the Constitution is treasonous.

You can expect to see an acceleration of disarmament efforts all over the Western sphere of influence. With major efforts in the United States taking place irregardless of the consequences. The progressive Marxists do not believe that people will rise up and fight back.

They DO NOT believe that it will happen, or if it does, that they can effectively suppress the actions and spin the events in their favor.


You all can decide on how to handle the elements that are certain to transpire. Just be quick about it, why don’t you.

This article discusses the current preparations for war on going in the state of Virginia. This is a war between conservative patriots, and progressive Marxists. It’s a war between then the urban cities and the rural areas. In many ways, it is shaping up to resemble the Bosnia civil war in general scope with elements of the Rwandan genocide being planned for in the urban areas.

It is my sincere hope that things can be diffused shortly. However, the build up of tensions is proceeding unabated, and it appears to be intentional.

America today. We are at a point of no return.
America today. We are at a point of no return.

First, the sides

The sides have already been established early on. One one side you have the conservative, traditional patriots. They reside in the predominantly rural areas and typically vote Republican and voted Trump into office. They fiercely defend free speech, free association, and the right to bear arms. They are very, very tired of progressive Marxism being rammed down their collective throats, and it appears their angst has reached a breaking point.

They follow and believe in the Constitution, both State and Federal, as written.

“It is the responsibility of the patriot to protect his country from its government.”

—Thomas Paine

On the other side you have the progressive socialist Marxists. They voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. They have been funded from enormous cash donations out of state, and even out of country. They have big business, and big government, and big landholders and the big oligarchy on their side. They pretty much reside in the urban areas and the richest and wealthiest counties.

The progressive activists come in different shapes, sizes and an amazing array of names. They go from democrat socialists, to communists, to liberals, to progressives, to social activists. They ahve armed groups that range fromt he Black Panthers, to the BLM and the Antifa. They all believe in replacing the United States Constitution with a more malleable document where they can control everything.

Second, the violations of Rights

Expert Tip – Never hand in your weapons to the government.

Well, after intense funding from outside the state, and a lack of interest in the Republican “wishy-washy” candidates, the progressive socialist democrat Marxists took control of all the levers of power in Virginia.

This newly elected democrat majority wants to ban the majority of firearms in the state. They want to ban everything about firearms. They want to ban ownership, transport, training and even mentioning having a gun.

The German genocidal events are well known to most Americans over the age of 40. Not so well known to the younger generations. The Nazi Germans "purged" the German society of "undesirables" which included just about EVERYONE except the "chosen" Arian race.
Hitler gun ban meme.

As such the newly elected socialist / Marxist democrats wasted no time “rubber stamping” pre-written anti-gun legislation…

The Armenean death march.
Four years after the government passed the anti-gun ownership legislation, the Christians were all collected and rounded up by armed militia, soldiers and local police forces. They were collected in the schools, town centers, and formed into groups. Then they were either killed outright, or sent on death marches into the hot barren desert.

They want people to turn in their weapons, New Zealand style, and barring that go house to house to search and confiscate the weapons. Those that do not comply will be arrested and given felony convictions.

It’s a scene right out of the 1984 movie “Red Dawn”.

FEMA camp scene from the 1984 movie "Red Dawn". Where people were rounded up because of their association with weapons.
FEMA camp scene from the 1984 movie “Red Dawn”. Where people were rounded up because of their association with weapons. Here, Harry Dean Stanton gave the legendary line, “AVENGE ME!”

Why this is contentious.

The political “talking points” is that all this is “common sense gun control”.

However, the real reason is to wrest control of the United States from the people. This is a long-duration effort that has been on-going for over a century, and now the only thing standing in the way of this takeover are clusters of armed citizens.

The idea is to disarm the citizens and begin the standard socialist takeover of the nation. Already, [1] the socialist Marxists have gained control of almost every government institution, and has molded it in their image. They have also [2] taken over many of the largest private institutions as well. In addition, they have also [3] been funding and arming socialist Marxist agitators.

Everything is falling into place.

For those of you that don’t know what this means, I’ll tell you. It means complete and utter genocide of the opposition.

It’s “common sense” genocide.

Gun Control “wet dreams”. Here is a second opinion on this subject.

Our protections…

Aside from a direct violation of the second Amendment in the Bill of RIGHTS…

Right to Bear Arms
Passed by Congress September 25, 1789. Ratified December 15, 1791. The first 10 amendments form the Bill of Rights 
 
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free  State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be  infringed. 

It is also a violation of the Fourth Amendment to the Bill of RIGHTS. For these laws talk about going house to house, searching for firearms and seizing them, and arresting the people in the house for good measure.

Search and Seizure
Passed by Congress September 25, 1789. Ratified December 15, 1791. The first 10 amendments form the Bill of Rights 

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers,  and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be  violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause,  supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place  to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. 

Another opinion…

Reg Flag laws.
There isn’t any “due process” in any of these Democrat actions on gun control.

To these people, it’s as if the Bill of Rights does not exist, and that elected officials can make what ever rules and laws they want, selectively enforce them and the people; the citizens have absolutely zero say in the matter.

The American Bill of Rights does not exist if the government does not protect it.

Universal Background Checks

Tazewell County has formed an official active militia.

Tazewell County has formed an official active militia as per the Second Amendment to the Constitution. This is in response to the actions of Virginia lawmakers that (immediately upon election) passed a very draconian gun control bill. A bill that is in violation of both the Federal and the Virginia Bill of Rights.

Tazewell County has  formed an official active militia as per the Second Amendment to the  Constitution.
Tazewell County has formed an official active militia as per the Second Amendment to the Constitution.

The foundation and the authority for Tazewell County to take this action is the Constitution itself;

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security  of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall  not be infringed.

To quote Daisy Luther ;

"To all of those who like to mock gun owners and ask if they’re going  to fight tyranny in a militia, Virginia’s answer is a clear and adamant  “yes.” That’s exactly what they’re planning to do."

Background

Daisy Luther has been tracking this issue aggressively on her website The Organic Prepper. I can find no source finer and better researched than hers on this issue…

After the most recent election, the state’s House and Senate are both Democrat majorities and they haven’t wasted a moment in attempting to gut the gun laws in what has historically been a permissive state.

The so-called “assault weapon ban” is SB16 and  has that perilously vague wording we all know to be incredibly  dangerous. In some interpretations, this law, if it passes, could make  illegal the ownership or transportation of any semi-automatic gun  because extendable magazines are available for it – and you don’t even  have to have the extendable mags. (source)

I personally do not know if the progressive Marxist democrats in the United States realize that they are going to experience some “push back”, or if the “triggers” are intentional to start open warfare. I just don’t know.

Maybe they just think we are all stupid, dumb hicks that will obey what ever they tell us because we are not as bright and enlightened as they.

The Reaction

In a series of rapidly changing developments, Virginia is undergoing  wholesale rebellion by rural and even suburban counties, rejecting the  oppressive gun control agenda recently revealed by the new incoming  Democrat-controlled legislature. 

Gun owners all across Old Dominion have  been up in arms since anti-gun forces took the House and Senate in the  recent election and are now preparing to resist having their arms taken  from them in any way possible. 

-Gun Rights Watch

That’s pretty much it.

You can chip away at every Right in the book , but when you start taking away the 2nd amendment… the very last roadblock to mass slaughter, genocide and tyranny, patriots will put their foot down.

And they have.

Counties across the state quickly organized into Second Amendment sanctuaries.

The speed at which they reacted is a testament to how furious they are  that their state government now wishes to infringe on their rights. 

An  even dozen counties have passed gun owner sanctuary resolutions already,  with new ones coming on a near-daily basis. 

-Gun Rights Watch 

The idea behind this is that the counties, as Second Amendment sanctuaries, would disregard any law that violates either the Federal or State Rights protecting firearm ownership, use and training.

The county-level defensive tactic that began originally in Oregon close to a decade ago, then popularized in Illinois, has spread to over a dozen states. It comes as no surprise that with few other options and little to lose, many communities in the state are vowing not to take part in any gun confiscation schemes or enforcement of unconstitutional laws designed to make private citizens less able to defend themselves.

Now, compare this map to the 2016 election map at the first part of this post. Obviously the battle lines are forming and the progressive tyrannical democrat Marxists want to disarm all traditional conservatives.

Then they have other things that they intend to do. It’s the historical norm. Don’t you know.

Other things…

South Africa. Once the socialist Marxists gain control, they purge all opposition by using military armed police.
South Africa. Once the socialist Marxists gain control, they purge all opposition by using military armed police. Do you think that those dead bodies on the ground had firearms? Do you think that they were trained in how to shoot, and oppose the ruling Marxists in power? This is what a Marxist progressive socialist utopia looks like. It is South Africa today. The disarmed people are turning over their farms, vehicles, and property for an increasingly hungry Marxist government.

The Reaction from the Tyrannical Marxists…

This reaction of taking proactive steps, as opposed to the nearly uniform sheep-like behavior of the past few centuries took the Marxists by surprise. Their reaction was totalitarian.

What?!?!

The sheep (serf-slaves) won't obey us? Well, that just won't go. Jeeves, please fetch me my jewel-encrusted phone. Yes. Now, quickly, don't you know, my masseuse is due in five minutes...

George. George Soros, please. Yes.

What should we do? The plantation is in open rebellion. What would you advise?

Oh, yes. That's right.

Kill the fuckers. Show them who's boss...

State Representative Donald MacEachin (D) was the first to suggest calling up the National Guard to squelch the rebellion…

McEachin also noted that Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam could call the National Guard, if necessary.

“And ultimately, I’m not the governor, but the governor may have to  nationalize the National Guard to enforce the law,” he said. “That’s his  call, because I don’t know how serious these counties are and how  severe the violations of law will be. But that’s obviously an option he  has.” (source)

This reaction was historical.

Which is to say, it follows the model of a tyrannical takeover predictably and unequivocally. It’s historical and follows the same tried and true application of seize, suppress, repress and implement tyranny.

Read your history…

There is no fucking way that Americans are going to allow the government to take away their rights, and implement genocide on them and their families.

No. Fucking. Way.

The progressive Marxists are delusional to believe that it will ever happen without a fight.

So they began to contemplate calling in the military to disarm, arrest, and subjugate the citizens of Virginia.

Adolf Hitler addressing his military telling them that they need to round up Jews, and undesirables, disarm them all for the good of the nation.

The National Guard’s Response

Maj. Gen. Timothy P. Williams, the Adjutant General of Virginia’s National Guard responded rather vaguely via Twitter.

We have received multiple questions regarding proposed  legislation for the 2020 General Assembly session and the authority of  the Governor of Virginia to employ the Virginia National Guard in a law  enforcement role. 

We understand and respect the passion people feel  for the U.S. Constitution and 2nd Amendment rights. We will not  speculate about the possible use of the Virginia National Guard.

— Va. National Guard (@VaNationalGuard) December 13, 2019

The responses in the Twitter thread were very interesting and suggest a firestorm is brewing…

A militia is forming in Virginia

Tazewell County, a county on the mountainous West Virginia border, is taking this threat to the Rights of citizens very seriously. In their minds, the government has completely failed them that that the time has long past for passive acceptance of tyranny. They believe that they need to take strong, unequivocal, and proactive measures to assure that their Rights will remain intact and in place.

The militia is constantly made fun of by the mainstream American media, however there is nothing wrong with demanding that people obey the Constitution. When the government stops following it, and then starts to break every single law in the book, true patriots will not allow it to pass. They will fight back and wrest control back to them.

So, not only did they pass a Second Amendment Sanctuary resolution, but they’ve also officially begun to form an armed, and active militia.

Just this past Tuesday, on December 10th, the Board of  Supervisors from Tazewell County passed two different resolutions in  light of controversy circling those who are pro-gun. 

The first resolution declared the county to be a second amendment sanctuary. This  is not at all surprising to see, as 76 out of 95 counties, 9 out of 38  independent cities, and 13 towns have adopted second amendment sanctuary  resolutions.

The second item on the agenda was the proposition of establishing a  militia in the county. When both of the resolutions passed, the crowd  cheered loudly in support of the decisions.  

Also, the resolutions  didn’t exactly pass by a small margin; the votes were unanimous, with  more than 200 citizens standing by in support.
 
-Law Enforcement Today (source)

County Administrator Eric Young explained why the county has opted to form a militia.

“Our position is that Article I, Section 13, of the  Constitution of Virginia reserves the right to ‘order’ militia to the  localities. 

Therefore, counties, not the state, determine what types of arms may be carried in their territory and by whom. So, we are  ‘ordering’ the militia by making sure everyone can own a weapon.”

Thus, if anyone from the state (government) tries to remove the Sheriff from their  elected office because they refuse to enforce unjust laws, those state  officials will be faced with a lawful militia composed of citizens  within the state. 

-  Tazewell County Administrator Eric Young (source)

Arming up and readying for battle

This article explains the extensive training being offered by Tazewell County to its citizens. This is being done in order to make sure everyone is acting safely and responsibly.

“Coincidentally,” there’s an anti-paramilitary bill on the table.

It’s probably no coincidence that at the same time militias are forming, there’s also a bill to make them illegal. The anti-paramilitary bill SB64 has thrown kerosene on an already brilliant inferno.

This bill, once it becomes law, will make learning how to shoot a weapon a felony. It will be equal to that of rape of a child, or selling hard drugs to infants.

The future of anyone who has any association with guns, gun organizations, shooting, shooting clubs, or hunting. This is a scene from the Bosnia conflict. Take note that all these rounded up men, every single one in this picture, was killed and found buried in a mass grave five years later.
The future of anyone who has any association with guns, gun organizations, shooting, shooting clubs, or hunting. This is a scene from the Bosnia conflict. Take note that all these rounded up men, every single one in this picture, was killed and found buried in a mass grave five years later.

Obviously, the radical progressive Marxists want a conflict. They do so, obviously in the belief, that they will persevere and win this conflict.

Here’s some of the text of that bill.

§ 18.2-433.2. Paramilitary activity prohibited; penalty.A person shall be is guilty of unlawful paramilitary activity, punishable as a Class 5 felony if he:

1. Teaches or demonstrates to any other person the use, application, or making of any firearm, explosive, or  incendiary device, or technique capable of causing injury or death to  persons, knowing or having reason to know or intending that such  training will be employed for use in, or in furtherance of, a civil  disorder; or

2. Assembles with one or more persons for the purpose of training  with, practicing with, or being instructed in the use of any firearm,  explosive, or incendiary device, or technique capable of causing  injury or death to persons, intending to employ such training for use  in, or in furtherance of, a civil disorder; or

3. Assembles with one or more persons with the intent of  intimidating any person or group of persons by drilling, parading, or  marching with any firearm, any explosive or incendiary device, or any  components or combination thereof. 

-(source)

Obviously, this is not a coincidence.

They predicted how rural Virginians would respond to their gun-grabbing actions. Their plan all along was to confiscate guns and turn any organized resistance into a felony.

The "fall back" position is to "register the guns" instead of an outright seizure. But that is just buying time. The truth is that history tells us that ALL registration of weapons WILL result in collection efforts.
The “fall back” position is to “register the guns” instead of an outright seizure. But that is just buying time. The truth is that history tells us that ALL registration of weapons WILL result in collection efforts, followed by the obligatory genocide of the disarmed. Gun registration is the “Albanian method” of genocide.

The Virginia Legislators are committing treason.

There could hardly be anything more unconstitutional than SB64. When you violate the Constitution you commit treason.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the  security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,  shall not be infringed.

They are violating their oath.

This is the pledge these legislators swore:

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia,  and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge all the duties incumbent upon me as ………. according to the best of my ability, (so help me God).” 

-(source)

Every person in the government who has sworn this oath yet supports these unconstitutional bills should be immediately recalled as well as tried criminally. This is long overdue, and because of this lack of policing of the elected officials, we have found ourselves within this mess.

When the government stops policing the very structure of the national Constitution, the door opens wide for the usurpation by people with evil intent.
When the government stops policing the very structure of the national Constitution, the door opens wide for the usurpation by people with evil intent.

This strategy was orchestrated by someone with a lot of money and power.

Daisy Luther framed this situation quite presciently. She said…

This is something that has been thought through, perhaps even by gun  control advocate and presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg.  The  reason I’m suggesting Bloomberg specifically is that his PAC donated millions and millions of dollars to turn the legislatures of 24 states to a Democrat majority.  

His millions worked in 21 of those cases, and Virginia is one of them.  Packing the state legislatures with allies would help his agenda should he actually become the next president. Records filed so far show that  organizations controlled and funded by Mr. Bloomberg spent more than $41  million on 24 House races, much of it on eye-catching ads rolled out on  social media and broadcast on television in the crucial final days of the campaign. 

And while it’s impossible to conclude that any one factor tipped the balance in a race, Mr. Bloomberg appears  to have reaped the benefits of his millions in giving.  

Democrats won 21 of the 24 races he sought to influence.  Of those, 12 had been considered  either tossups or in Republican districts. “The mission was to flip the House. Success or failure would be  defined by that,” said Howard Wolfson, a senior adviser to Mr.  Bloomberg. (source)

Bloomberg is rabidly anti-gun and has said that ending “the nationwide madness of U.S. gun violence”  is the impetus behind his run for the White House. If he were to be  elected, may God help America, because he will destroy everything for  which our nation has ever stood.

Here’s the summary on what’s happening in Virginia

His vrs Her thoughts.
It’s funny because it is so very true. Girls and guns. So very funny.

Let’s look at all these facts together.

  • With Michael Bloomberg’s help, the Democrats took over the Virginia state congress.
  • There’s an anti-paramilitary bill that would disallow armed people to gather or teach others how to use firearms or any technique that could cause injury or death.
  • There’s a bill that would make semi-automatic weapons illegal.
  • Nearly the entire state (aside from the highly populated areas that elected these yahoos) has balked and formed Second Amendment sanctuaries.
  • A legislator threatened the sanctuaries with the National Guard.
  • The sanctuaries responded by activating an organized militia.

The only real way to prevent bloodshed and save face for the congress and governor is for these bills not to pass.

What happens when only the government has guns.
What happens when only the government has guns.

That would be difficult, though, given the fact that Bloomberg dumped millions of dollars into getting people elected who promised to pass strict gun control bills. If they suddenly vote against the bill, they will have to face their angry constituents and the wrath of Bloomberg.

Rural Virginians seem unlikely to back down and are willing to fight. They have another month to get organized to defend their communities.

Here is what Daisy Luther has to say…

Remember that in situations such as these, the rumor mill works  overtime. There are a lot of reports that are exaggerated. 

The truth is  bad enough that we don’t need to add far-fetched theories to the mix. 
History is terrible enough and crazy enough that all you need to do is read the "lessons learned" from the handful of survivors of Socialist / Marxist genocides.
History is terrible enough and crazy enough that all you need to do is read the “lessons learned” from the handful of survivors of Socialist / Marxist genocides.
This article is a very good, common-sense breakdown of fact vs. fiction,  although some vehemently disagree with the assessment that the  government will not turn off communications and power for the sanctuary  areas. 

It’s certainly not impossible to imagine that drastic measures  could be taken.
Very Puzzling.
Very Puzzling.
What will happen next remains to be seen, but it is no exaggeration to say that the future of our country is now riding on the response of Virginians, should these unconstitutional laws pass.

Conclusion

These articles will either pass or not.

If they pass, there will be “push back” from the conservative patriots against the Marxist democrats.

If they do not pass, then there will be a short (perhaps two to three years) while the progressive Marxists regroup and rethink a strategy that will enable them to attain their goals to their benefit.

And that is the way it is.

This is when the bullet meets the bone.
This is when the bullet meets the bone.

Thus, the first volley into CWII and SHTF is in progress. Make sure that you have achieved all your prepper goals, mapped out strategies and have back-up plans in the event that things do not go in your favor.

Nice meme on gun collection and genocide,
There is a direct link between gun collection and genocide. It is the historical norm. However, most people are ignorant of history, and others don’t care. They openly want genocide… against their neighbors. They never think that it could be used against them.

Best of luck, and God’s grace.
