Is the United States in the Midst of an Insurgency?

If we consider the regular trajectory of insurgencies, we're already halfway through the cycle -- but it can still be stopped if we act fast.

The violence and rioting in the US result from far more than just dissatisfaction with the police. Extreme ideological social justice movements today are more likely to carry firearms than items for a food pantry. We currently face nothing less than the early stages of a socialist insurgency.

Insurgency is an organized rebellion to overthrow a constituted government by undermining its legitimacy through protest and disinformation, and ultimately through armed conflict. This may sound dramatic, but consider the steps already completed by BLM/ANTIFA in the Insurgency Pyramid used by the US Army Special Forces community to characterize an insurrection (Figure 1).

Initially, when the insurgents are still weak, they organize around a group that is actively dissatisfied with political and social conditions and desires ideological or other changes. In America, who better to target than the poorest and least educated black Americans, for they already believe they have a legitimate grievance?

Insurgents use propaganda and political efforts to exploit this atmosphere, creating more significant discontent that discredits the government. BLM and ANTIFA have made it abundantly clear that they believe the existing government and socio-economic system are unjust and exclude them.

It’s well known that leftists intimidate people, so they refrain from presenting counter-factual arguments. Then, by spinning the narrative for high-profile events, they build credibility and feed the general sense of public dissatisfaction.

Intensification of Propaganda

The mainstream news doesn’t make this item change color?

There are some pretty nasty billboards out there, i.e.,Trump kills 200000.

Social media is censoring.

What other methods would intensify propaganda?

[PGalt]

YES

1. Soros - destabilization agent

2. Gates - depopulation agent

If you look at some of the people involved behind the scenes of ANTIFA and BLM, a number of them are back for another run at overthrowing our government..

Go back to the late 60’s and thru most of the 70’s and look what people like Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn are up to...

Specifically study Susan Rosenberg from that era, she was sentenced to 58 years in prison for her role in a Armored Car robbery that resulted in the deaths of two cops and a security guard...

She was pardoned by Bill Clinton on his last day in office, she is now a lead fundraiser for BLM....

Absolutely this is an insurgency, this time it’s well financed and accepted by a sizable percentage of the American Public, including the Democratic Party...

Look where the rioting and violence is happening, in the most liberal cities in the country....all places where they know they won’t be held accountable for their action s....

I predict when Trump wins, these cities will be used as staging areas for a dramatic increase in the level of the violence...

ABSOLUTELY

Sunday is Funday in a Free Republic. Every day is.

In a Facebook republic? Not so much.

In a Twitter republic? Not so much.

Uh, yeah.......

I’d say that’s subversive organizations are spread pretty well throughout society as well as the intensification and propaganda having been occurring for quite a while I’m surprised both of these are not already colored as well. There have been subversives and academia for decades since the 60s so there certainly everywhere at this point look at all the large and medium companies kowtowing to BLM and antifa.

Let’s look at a perfect example of this process, a parallel case from Soviet history. As peasant farmers tended to be overwhelmingly religious, traditional, and family-oriented, the Bolshevik government hated them with a fiery passion. Increasing the acrimony further, the peasants resisted giving up their family-run farms—a roadblock to the Soviet leadership’s desire to exercise complete control over the nation’s food supply.

It’s taken the democrats 170 years to get revenge for losing the civil war. Now they are poised to kill the Federal system.

Actually, the Democrat Party of today has more in common with the Communist Party, than with the Democrats of the early 1800s. As Ronald Reagan noted, "I didn't leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left me."

Those peasants were the “deplorables” of their day.

Q uite so.

The polls today remind me of the book published years ago “How to Lie with Statistics”.

[HighSierra5]

Yup. Any more questions?

Great post. Thanks, eyeamok.

is this from 2016?

Nathan Bedford's first maxim of American politics:

All politics is not local but ultimately racial

Many will be aware that I have been posting this maxim for years on these threads but have refrained from doing so recently because, although the maxim seems now to be more true than ever, it is to miss the whole peril of the insurgency which is now attempting to destroy our Constitution, suppress our liberties and seize control of the Republic.

To a hammer everything looks like a nail, and to a leftist politician everything looks racist. So the leftist politician reflexively beats down Republican nail heads with the hammer of the charge of racism. But now the game has moved far beyond racism as a mere political tactic for the left. It has become a symptom even as it remains a tool.

Even cursory armchair students of history know that ideas have consequences and one of those consequences is to shape elections. If that were the limit of the power of ideas one would be content to argue ideology in the context of an election. We are not in that situation today. Although leftist ideology will shape this election, it will not limit its onrush to the results of an election, nor will the left be content with any adverse results coming out of an election or a court decision whether the source is federal, state, local or multinational.

The new ideology which now dominates the bleak and arid soul of the left is best described and rigorously analyzed in a book called, Cynical Theory. The book traces the evolution of leftist thinking by picking it up at the point of The Frankfurt School which insinuated critical thinking into the bloodstream of society by originally infecting our schools.

Cynical theory describes the evolution of the Frankfurt school socialist philosophy and tells us why it is absolutely impervious to logic and why it is so successful in conquering vulnerable "liberal" minds.

This postmodern ideology is impervious to logic because it excludes logic from its calculus. The author of this article suggests that the leftist ideology couples with black America because African-Americans believe themselves already oppressed but the reality is critical race theory, which postulates institutionalized racism, exploits a vulnerable demographic in our midst to upend the system. If Islam is impervious to reason, if Islam has a philosophy which encourages men to fly planes into buildings so they may have the 72 virgins in afterlife, it succeeds because it is a closed intellectual circle. How do you argue with that? Similarly, the plight of the African-American "community" has become a closed, intellectually sealed culture.

Add critical race theory and the Black Lives Matter shock troops of the revolution are impervious to criticism just as they are impervious to logic. In fact logic, as noted above, has been consciously discarded. The cynical theory exposed by the authors of the book of the same title is that all Western epistemology must be rejected. That means the entire Enlightenment must go. All of this must be rejected because one society cannot be said to be better or more worthy than another. Hence, the scientific method created by the Western world is no better than the superstition of a headhunter in Java.

Once one discards logic and the scientific method one can easily discard mathematics and 2 and 2 no longer equals 4, in fact 2 and 2 may not equal 4 because that is a Western, white man's, construct. If one can set aside mathematics as the French set aside the days of the week and the months of the year during the French Revolution, capturing racial politics is but child's play. If one can capture the white man's epistemology as Islam has conquered the minds of its adherents, you have a new pathology sweeping across every class and race. It is almost unstoppable because to oppose it is not just racist but grounded in the false idea that Western epistemology is something decent people should not adhere to.

The author is dead wrong when he asserts:

To defeat this insurgency, we must eliminate the dissatisfaction that drives the largest groups of actors.

Many of these actors are quite well-to-do and have no legitimate bitch about their lot in life. As for those who are truly poor, their problem is not their economic condition, their problem is their philosophy. In short they've got to get their minds right and no amount of government welfare systems will do that, in fact, history shows that government intervention along these lines brings about a result contrary to its intention, for example, breaking down African-American families and generating a dystopian ghetto.

Dealing with the symptoms, building projects in the ghetto or hiring more black police chiefs will not solve the problem of this soul sickness. The disease is impervious to this cure. We must find a way to restore the Judeo/Christian ethic for without it we are lost.
