“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

If the BLM thought they had trouble in Nevada, they ain’t see nothin’ yetc i’d expect them to bring more agents and fire power though. That’s okay; Texas has more guns and probably not your standard fare either.

Texas has an extremely small percentage of public lands. The feds HATE not owning big parts of the state. This is an obvious attempt to grab some lands in a part of the state where there are almost none.

Then their regulations and stormtroopers follow.

There will always be persons of the jackboot mentality depending on ‘government’ to give them the OK to beat up other citizens. Jackboots don’t even have to be citizens or patriots going back to our Revolutionary war.
