Chairman Mao, the unspoken hero of our garbage ruling caste, understood that power flows from the barrel of a gun, and it’s not unreasonable to wonder whether the institutions in America that carry guns – law enforcement and the military – and who are supposed to protect us will turn those guns on us if commanded to by the ruling elite.
Stop wondering.
Their answer is that to a greater extent than those of us who grew up in America, when it was a free country before it became our present crypto-leftist tyranny, want to admit, they will. Right now, they are hiding news that undermines their rule. They are censoring opponents. They are locking up political dissidents. And eventually, when the current junta feels truly threatened by the emerging backlash from patriotic citizens, too many of these alleged protectors will kill for their masters – and I mean more than just the occasional and totally unpunished massacres of unapproved dissidents like at Waco and Ruby Ridge.
Pretty harsh? It is harsh, but it’s not wrong. Explain why that is the red line they suddenly stop at when they have blasted through the red lines of lying, of censorship, and of framing the opposition using a two-tier justice system. “Yeah, those things are fine, but we won’t go all the way. Oh no, never.” Where’s the guardrail that is going to block the trend that is now sending SWAT teams out to bust people for praying at abortion clinics from accelerating into actually using those big, scary assault rifles?

The police and military showed us their ass on Covid and January 6th. Yes, they will turn on us. In fact, they already have.
This has been known for a very long time and is true of any country. Read the essay called “Who Goes Nazi.”
The facts are most would turn in or at a minimum look away when others are being terrorized on a large scale. This is the human condition of our sinful nature.
These PURE EVIL people will KILL REPUTATIONS and BAN ACCOUNTS also!!
The Milgrams Experiment proved this.
for many, a whole bunch comes before Country.
Unit, Corps, G-d, Country is but one.
Your local Cops are Cops first.
You, lowly Citizen, are way down the list.
Most other Public Servants, in many states, are Union Members first.
The good part about it?
“Lives, Fortunes and Sacred Honor” beat folks brought together by greed, or force.
You can look that one up.
We’ll know it’s the end when they demand our guns. They are pushing for that now. One spark will start the fire.
Cops and sheriffs have families….
Give a loser position, money, and power and you can get him to do anything. The Nazis and Communists proved that over and over.

We need to consider the possibility that the Chinese are beginning to run our country! Study the Hong Kong model and consider the $10 million question.
God save the Republic!
The military will be disarmed, as they are most of the time in this country.
The police are who will be compromised and turned. Make no mistake - it’s happened many times before.
During the 2016 Presidential campaign, when Trump supporters were chased down and had the hell beat out of them and the Police watched and did nothing [I saw videos of that], the Police were on our side. During BLM Demonstrations when buildings and cars were set ablaze and people had the hell beat out of them by ANTIFA and the Police did nothing. The Police were on our side.
Most of us, though, can't talk like that for the record - one would not want to disappear during the initial round-up.
Not that I would, because I'm fully on-board the woke train.
Mao was right, of course.
The government has the power to kill, kidnap, and steal. It uses guns to do these things. Otherwise it couldn’t execute people, arrest and jail them, or confiscate unpaid taxes.
The government is a protection racket. The ideal situation is to have one, small, weak protection racket.
If the government becomes too weak, then there arise multiple protection rackets — which define a failed state.
Everyone is aware of that but the sheep. The sheep will not have to be driven into the gas chambers. When the doors are open, they willingly enter.
Might will always be right.
The Founding Fathers were only right, because they had the might to make it stick.
Unions for the win.
