The people running the federales now have as part of the agenda they serve the elimination of a significant percentage of the population, to make US more manageable. Starvation and disease will have swarmed the feral raiders, who will have been slaughtered like the rats they are, but who will also have picked up weaponry to use in their continued raids.
It is at that point that the devil's own soldiers against freedom will be welcomed into many neighborhoods, to pacify the scene. Comparing the scenario to a battle, the starvation and disease will be the artillery to soften up the objective.
There will still be many of US old farts who will not capitulate to the federales, and we will have had battle training against the horde, but the onslaught from the savages prior to the federales moving in will have softened up a very large percentage of the once brave patriots who want their family to survive in the face of chaos and disaster.
Personally, I'll fire until ammo is gone or they have a sniper take me out. I'm too old to live the remainder of my life under tyranny and ‘death panels’.
meant to ping you ...
Would a .50 BMG either ap or non ap pierce the armor on the Bradley? If so it would be an invaluable tool.
That’s no doubt true. The people will always look to the gov to fix their problems when nothing else does the trick. That is one reason why destruction of our own infrastructure and resources cannot be allowed to happen, by them or us beyond the necessary means to win. Same with hurting any fellow citizen. They may be the enemy one day but should this happen and it is all over they will be our neighbors the next day. We must take a moral road or else face years and years of retaliation wars. All hypothetical of course.
You may have raised a key point about government forces exterminating troublesome populations and excess humans.
There’s an entire school of thought on the Left that regards human existence as both superfluous in general and harmful to the “natural order”. There are those futuristic scenarios of what happens to cities when all the humans have ceased to exist; “World Without People” or something like that.
So a mindset already exists that human extermination for its own sake is not necessarily a bad thing. It’s nihilistic in the extreme; even the Nazis when wiping out the “subhumans” in lands wanted for German “lebensraum” had in mind that it was for the benefit of a superior Aryan race that was to multiply & thrive.
The seeing of certain human beings as vermin fit only for extermination is an evil that has existed since time began. The horror now is that this mindset now flourishes in the corridors of power of this our nation.
By the way, this is the scariest thread I have ever, ever read in my years on FReepers. The absolute scariest.
In 2002, there were 19,000 municipal governments throughout the US, but as many as 30,000 incorporated cities.
There are over 43,000 places with unique zip codes, and probably no “cities” without their own zip codes. Many large cities have 2 or more zip codes. A guess would be around 20,000 to 25,000 including larger towns and such.
Our military would have a damn hard time stationing a single English speaking platoon in every city in America let alone rumbling through them in armed personnel carriers.
If American citizens are that frightened of US military troops or local cops knocking on their doors to collect our firearms, then a few million of us need to go to Washington DC and hang every last elected legislator by his or her neck because none of them will have followed through with their sworn Oath of Office. While we’re at it we should hang our state and local elected officials too, for not resisting the Department of Homeland Security and giving us advance notice and protecting our communities.
We hired and elected these people to protect our communities not terrorize our families. They are the ones that we should be confronting. If they want to terrorize our families then we can do the same to theirs.
Last year I was talking to a young (45)Marine who was just released from duty about how the people are afraid of the government. He knew what I was talking about because their had been discussions in his home about the subject.
He was telling me that his brother works in a building that adjoins the local FBI office. He set up a wireless motion detector camera and recorded everyone who went in or came out of a particular back door of the building. In three days he determined who the most likely candidates were for FBI agents.
I am guessing now but I wouldn’t be surprised if he hasn’t done the same thing at their local BATFE and DEA offices.
Seems like a good idea to me if you consider these people to be working against your ideals and standards.
Now is not the time to allow race, creed or to divide us.
