Communism is a very efficient form of tyranny.
If you think Communism has been relegated to the history books, you are wrong.
There is a piece at Activist Post and the writer draws several conclusions with which I differ, though he also articulates many points that can't be challenged. In the piece the author assigns our coming Civil War as a design by a small group of families that rule the world. I can't go there. He also states that multi-national forces from tyrannical countries are standing in the wings to put boots on American soil and aid a traitorous American FedGov (and some State Govs) is murdering Liberty and dividing America among the several players.
I can't really go there, either. I just can't get my head wrapped around US .mil permitting ChiCom or Russian boots on the ground, even under UN blue helmets.
What I do see is a group of people who want an America that has been scaled back to a hemispheric power and transformed toward a Communist State, leaving Asia for the Chinese and Europe for the Russians.
I agree with the article in that a disarmed American populace is on the agenda, and those who remained armed will be branded enemies of the state.
I will go further, and state that I think the final phase has been engaged. The Enemies of Liberty plan to have this rolled up before the question of a 2016 election cycle comes around. I see the next 3-18 months as the time period in which things go hot, by hook, crook, or otherwise. States are on the cusp of confiscations, right now. They are laying that ground. States are being isolated with cooperative governments in place. In New York, California and Illinois - major populations, and critical to American economic infrastructure, the Leftists are putting in place laws to criminalize self defense. It will be manageable for FedGov to combine forces with NYPD, LAPD and ChicagoPD assets to enforce capitulation on three fronts, leaving red states alone - for now.
Once these blue states are under control, the ability to concentrate forces on the second-tier states, a few at a time, becomes easier.
It is the same philosophy of Waco on a state-wide level. Concentrate all forces to achieve the ends, then move on to unconquered territory.
Time will tell if my assessment is correct.
But consider three years from now the possibility of FedGov's ability to focus 80 percent of its resources, combined with assets from New York, California, Illinois, Oregon, Washington, Florida, and a few other enclaves on Texas. The ability to make Texans starve to death becomes easy (remember the mere threat to stop air travel into Texas?) combined with the military force at hand and the betrayal of Texans that already control political offices in DFW, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso...
Texans, set your pride aside, and look at the reality. Now consider how fast Alabama or Louisiana would fold under the same pressure...
Think about it. The divide and conquer one bit at a time works - so long as Patriots stay on the sidelines and do not flank the Bad People...like we are doing, now.

controling chicago is not controling illinois! controling l.a. is not california,etc.those cities need us to feed them and allow traffic in and out.most l/e here want nothing to do with any gun confiscation. this will not play out as the "experts" think.might be interesting though.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct about Illinois. The last attempt in Illinois for an AWB was defeated due to the efforts of gun owners outside of shitcago. Are most politicians in Illinois marxist fucks? Yes. However, the majority of folks who live outside of the cesspool to the north are not.
Delete"an America that has been scaled back to a hemispheric power and transformed toward a Communist State"
ReplyDeleteTOWARD a Communist State? That's putting it gracefully!
Y'know, most people didn't die in the USSR or Red China. Like all people everywhere and always, they just kept at it...there were bakers and salesmen and taxi drivers and whatever.
It's 2013 and this ain't "toward" Communism. That would explain why we imprison a higher percentage of the population than those statist hellholes, not to mention come up with even more numbskull ideas for the "greater good" than they did.
Things are what they are, not what we call them.
Confiscating at the state level works well for another reason: a hot conflict in a state or a few states will seem so distant to uneffected states that the majority of people will not care. A nation wide gun grab would start another revolution which will be too much for the new Comintern (by that I mean the tangled web of leftist billionaires, crony bankers, the media, politicians, unions, NGOs, Occupy and the Muslim Brotherhood).
ReplyDeleteThat sure seems like the plan, Atlas, but it ain't gonna work because this is the Age of Instant Information.
DeleteWow, another government plan that didn't work. Too bad education does.
I think they'd have their hands full in WA. Outside of the King/Snohomish/Pierce counties, things would get awfully squirrely on the west side of the Cascades. The could kiss the East side goodbye. We've got way more in common with ID/MT/WY than Seattle.
ReplyDeleteOregon is fairly similar from what I understand. Progressive core area that rules politics by sheer numbers (legitimately or otherwise) and the rest of us...
Regarding "Europe for the Russians" - have you ever BEEN in Russia, or any of the former Soviet republics?
ReplyDeleteWhen you've been there, and seen the abandoned military bases with hundreds of helicopters and jets and tanks rusting in the rain for twenty years, and talked to the people and heard the stories of that time, you'll understand, and treat this anti-Russian nonsense as the blind paranoia it is.
Russia cares about protecting Russia. Sometimes they stamp on the little neighbors like Georgia to prove they can - but when you hear the Russian side of that little war, things the media here would never dream of even asking about let alone reporting, the Georgian government of the time looks much less like an innocent put-upon little angel, and much more like a bunch of jackasses who thought they could hide behind Uncle Sam. But Europe? Germany, Italy, Austria - even Poland and Hungary?
Russia isn't going to do a goddamned thing to them except sell them natural gas at inflated prices like the good crony capitalists they are. Any other idea is delusional nonsense.
(I realize I'm basically agreeing with you here, that the global conspiracist talk is overblown. I just wanted to step on that idea hard, because it's so incredibly stupid.)
You forget the simple reality that Russia controls the gas and oil and they no longer need tanks or jets to have Europe bend knee. One little tactical nuke in some otherwise insignificant place and Europe pays their bills and taxes to the Kremlin.
DeleteThe same equation applies to the Chinese in Asia and the new USSA in our hemisphere.
The Marxists in America are more than willing to split the globe 3 ways among their Marxist brothers.

Hell - all Russia really needs to do is turn off Twitter and Cable in Western Europe for a few hours and the masses will demand the EU pay whatever it takes to turn the toys back on.

They didn't want him. When I am sure that he has put his foot in his own mouth?
