DiGenova: 'We Are In a Civil War ... I Vote and I Buy Guns' (Joe DiGenova on Laura Ingraham)
CNS ^ | February 22, 2019 | Michael W. Chapman

Posted on 02/22/2019 11:08:02 AM PST by xzins

Commenting on the double standard the political left and the liberal media play -- conservatives are pilloried and leftists are coddled -- former U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova explained that America is in a "civil war" now and that things will get much worse before they get better -- "total war."

DiGenova, who also served as special counsel to investigate the Teamsters and as counsel to the Senate Select Intelligence Committee, made his remarks on the Feb. 21 edition of The Laura Ingraham Podcast.

During the discussion, Igraham noted how the left and the liberal media work hand-in-hand to spin and cover for wrongdoing on the left and yet endlessly attack the right. For instance, the leftist press constantly refer to President Trump as Hitler, Stalin, a dictator, a Nazi, Mussolini, racist, white supremacist, treasonous, disturbed, demented, bigoted, etc.

Also, the left has essentially forgotten the shooting of Republican congressmen by a Bernie Sanders supporter in 2017 and they largely ignore the death threats and assassination attempts against President Trump. They downplayed the anti-Semitism of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mich.) and immediately rushed to defend Jussie Smollett who, as we now know, has been accused of perpetrating a hate crime hoax.

“There’s two standards of justice, one for Democrats one for Republicans," he said. "The press is all Democrat, all liberal, all progressive, all left. They hate Republicans, they hate Trump."

"So the suggestion that there’s ever going to be civil discourse in this country for the foreseeable future is over," said the former federal prosecutor. "It’s not going to be."

"It’s going to be total war," he said. "And as I say to my friends, I do two things – I vote and I buy guns.”

“... the chain of abuses...”

Like Jefferson said:

“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.”

Amazing words from an amazing man.

We’re approaching - or maybe AT - that flashpoint, thanks to the Left.

I think it reasonable to surmise you will not fight, no matter what, because you expect “a plan” for every possible contingency.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

On the other side of that coin, there’s a chance you could be a keyboard warrior. And no plan for when the s**t does hit the fan? What are you gonna say to the wife & family? Honey, that time I’ve been warning you about has arrived. I’m going out for a few hours and snipe some leftards. Keep the food warm. Little Johnny, I’ll check your homework later tonight.

the Media would just spin us as "terroeists" ....worldwide we would be labled terrorists. Violence would only get them sympathy and demonize us

I’ll tell you what, chief ... Just for the sake of the argument, come attack my home - up close and personal. That way, you will acquire a realistic judgment of my willingness and determination to engage an enemy force, and get a true measure of my endurance to persevere in a fight. Bring as many others as you think necessary to test my resolve.

Only slightly “tongue n cheek” in my remarks.

However, in all honesty, I see no way of avoiding a second major armed confrontation on this continent. There are only three possibilities:

1. The left wins, and we become slaves to a socialist dictatorship.

2. The Right wins, and we restore our constitutional representative republic.

3. We agree to an amicable divorce, dissolve the Constitution, and geographically divide the present United States into two separate nations.

Option 3 is not practical for a host of reasons, not the least of which would be the specter of foreign invasion.

Thus we are left with choice 1 and 2 - IOW: it is either us or them. That is the plain reality and simple truth.

Yeah, Cletus, I’m sure you’re a real Billy bad a$$. All keyboard warriors are. I would NEVER attack someone’s home unless it was an absolute last resort. And if it did come to that, they would not know I was there and it certainly wouldn’t be face to face. It may not even be at the home of that person.

But enough of that.

I and two other families do have a plan. We’ve been talking about it among ourselves longer than Trump has been POTUS. We are not going to go out and engage the enemy. Of the three of us, we have selected the home that is the largest and easiest we believe can be the most secured. The selected home is where we will live if it comes to that. We have enough weapons and hopefully enough factory ammo. We have a Dillion XL650 press with over 15K primers, several lbs of Winchester powder with 1000’s of once fired cases ready to go.

Our plan, as of today, is to hold on to the selected home as best we can and hope for the best. Two of us will have vacated homes and are fully aware they could be lost.

Our numero uno goal is to protect our families and try to survive till law and order are restored.

Food supply...we do need more.

WTH makes you think I am any less prepared than you, on all counts?

First off, my home is a buried concrete fortress, on 12 acres of open range in SW Nebraska, with our own water supply, located on a plateau at 3000’ elevation, surrounded by canyons, having a 25 mile view in all directions, with only one access road. We have:

Multiple firearms - pistols, revolvers, carbine rifles, bolt-action rifles, and pump shotguns.

Well over 10,000 rounds of properly stored ammo, for each weapon. I’ve been stocking ammo for years, at 1000 rounds per purchase.

I have access to cattle, deer, pheasant, wild turkey, and other game.

Stored potable water.

Preserved, or freeze-dried canned food stocks, sufficient for 2 years.

Multiple fuel supplies.

Back-up sources of heat and electrical generation.

An independent fresh water supply.

Medical and surgical supplies (excepting antibiotics, which have very limited shelf life).

NBC / Hazmat gear.

Fire fighting gear.

Full set of mechanics tools.

A bug out plan, with contingencies.

Hidden supplies, buried in several locations along multiple routes.

Our nearest neighbor is 1/2 mile away; however the majority of folk living in this area are politically like-minded and well-armed. Most are well practiced in tracking, hunting and preparing game, either by use of firearms or the bow.

Presently, I am planning a small machine shop, although I was an aircraft mechanic by trade.

Come summer, I’ll be erecting a 50’ observation tower.

I’m even considering grading a 1500’ gravel runway (I have acquaintances who are qualified pilots.)

Other than a crossbow and bolts, have I left anything out?

What I find laughable is the way the leftist deep state thinks it can stop what Trump is doing to them, just because they’re able to convince the weaker among us that Trump isn’t doing anything.

What is it about progressivism that appeals to mental deficiency?

We will know when the “civil interaction” of seizing of private property— boats, cars, land, bank assets, firearms and patent rights— just for starters— that this seizure is supported wholeheartedly by the Left which is the majority media.

There are methods for dealing with this-— active measures, and squeal while they may, these “non-journalists” are not non-combatants in the reality they create with their directed propaganda. From the historical reality of Olde Russia and revolution... journalists were slaughtered first.

Just saying— we all here buy firearms, know how to use them and we VOTE . Dependably.

............................................
So what? We’re already labeled terrorists.

Violence is sometimes necessary to repel those who wish to enslave or murder their intended victims. You need to quit with the fantasies and study what history reveals about the real world.

“Sir, you may have been born in Canada but you are more American than most native born Americans. I love your attitude and your sentiments are spot on. Being nice will only get us killed.”

Just because you have an American passport does not necc. mean you (liberal) love your country.

“This week, I have been reading records and stories about the Armenian Genocide. Just before the Turk savages began the massacre, they went from house to house and forcibly disarmed the Armenians.”

One of the biggest “protests’ in L.A. is the Armenian genocide day. Traffic chaos. Every year. One time, I had a conversation with an Armenian bud of mine and said the same thing “how come you didn’t fight back?” I then told him ‘the more you guys do this thing you remind the Turks that you got your asses kicked.”

You’re forgetting the effect of mass enlightenment to the fact that a small group of several thousand people really do run the world through the banking system, human trafficking, organized crime, occultism, blackmail and of course a system of secrecy developed over the centuries.

The dynamic will be completely different when this happens.
