What is the best "Go Signal" ~ Vanity

[GraceG]

What signal would one consider being the best signal to consider it being "Go Time" in terms of knowing that government has fully set it's sights on the heart and sould of the Republic?

I have been considering this as of late as it seems in the last few months especially that it seems like scandals are becomming so common that it istart to drown out everything like a loud roaring waterfall or a prolonged fever.

Personally my "Go signal" will be when we start hearing deafening silence from one conservative talk show host after another as they are either being openly arrested or they are being shut down due to dubious reasons by the FCC.

I will read this as the SOAP box being yanked out from under people. I am in no condition to start any sort of "revolt" but this will signal me to start some of my own plans that involve openly defying their ban on my god given 1st amendment rights.

The other "Go Signal" I recognize will be a house to house gun confiscation by local/state/federal governments.

Gun confiscation.

That’s when I grab up a backpack, and go fight.

A Homeland Security guy I sat next to on a plane said what you need is a motorcycle to get out of town, and a planned place to meet.

Don’t know about a “Go Signal”, but a place for the likeminded to meet would be smart.

Just stand in Cromwell’s pond a min or two. Same effect ;)

Be divided...

[Psalm 73]

"Gun confiscation."

That would do it for me.
Not sure if that's before or after the economic collapse....
(Stay tuned...)

Too comfortable for way too long.

I think we already missed the GO signal when Obama “piss be upon him” was re-elected.

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

OK, you see the Go Signal and you go.

What are you going to do when you get there? How long will it be better there than where you are?

Google the phrase, “Cast down your bucket where you are,” and be inspired.

What I saw at the Coup by Matthew Bracken

[Chode]

from Matt Brackens: What I Saw At The Coup

What I have heard called “the plan” began as idle office chat, nothing more. (Of course, not much chat is ever truly idle at the very highest levels of power, between senior presidential advisors.) The first time I heard it mentioned was over lunch with Dennis in the White House Mess, down in the basement next to the situation room. We were at a quiet corner table of the wood-paneled dining room, tossing ideas for the next talking points back and forth. Routine.

One of right-wing hate radio’s loudest and most poisonous voices was conducting an embarrassing public feud with our press secretary. The President had trapped himself in a seeming contradiction. The video and audio were both damning, and one must admit, very funny—if one’s goal was to make the President look and sound like a liar and a fool. The Youtube videos were getting millions of hits; the TV comics were not letting it go. We had been knocked completely off message, the optics were horrible, and our favorability ratings were collapsing at a crucial moment. (It seems like an ice-age ago when such trivialities actually mattered to me.)

I said something offhandedly to Dennis. “I just wish we could get rid of those bastards, once and for all.”

He stared at me for a long time, chewing on his second BLT sandwich until the Navy steward retreated from range, and then he said, “Actually, Jacinda, there is sort of a plan for that.”

“What do you mean, ‘a plan for that’?”

He explained that it was nothing formal, and there was nothing in writing. Nor would there ever be. It was just a concept he had come up with, along with a few other trusted colleagues and advisors. An idea. They had gamed out various scenarios. We could solve our problems with molding public opinion if we removed just a few dozen key right-wing opinion makers. That was the exact word he used, “removed.” That was last spring, and I put it off as a harmless thought experiment. I didn’t hear anything more about it for several months.

Then one day after another media talking points session in the mess, Dennis said, “Remember the plan we were talking about? You know, we really could do it.”

“Are you serious?”

“The timing would have to be just right. Mainly, it would depend on external events.”

Remembering the numbers from our earlier conversation, I told him that removing a few dozen of the worst reactionaries wouldn’t change anything. Other fast-talking right wingers would just take their places. Except they would be angrier than ever.

“Not dozens.” He paused. “Around two thousand, actually.”

The new number shocked me. “That’s not possible.”

“No, it’s very possible. We’ve studied it from every angle.”

Clearly, he knew more about a plan than he was letting on. Nobody was closer to the President than the two of us and his wife, and I had heard nothing from the boss, not even a hint. “You’re making this up. You’re not serious. Is it a joke, or a test? I wasn’t born yesterday.” I had to be careful. This was dangerous territory, when any spoken word could be recorded almost anywhere. Trust in a man like Dennis was a very slender reed upon which to cling.

“No, I’m very serious,” he said. “Here’s how we came up with two thousand. I was given a copy of a new law enforcement software program, one that Justice had for testing and evaluation. A refinement of the social networking analysis stuff. Data-mining, all of that. We put it on a clean computer, adjusted it for our own parameters, and made the list. We tried it at different levels from ten up to ten thousand. The optimal number for the greatest effect with the least initial disruption came in at about two thousand.”

I shook my head and said, “Dennis, it’s crazy to even talk about it.”

[Norm Lenhart]

Thats it! Thank you.

ya beat me by the two minutes it took to format the link and text... 8^)

After Bracken’s works have turned out to be prophetic, I started re-reading his stuff and paying more attention. This “border kids” thing is right out of another of his scenarios. The guy has awesome sources, deep in the belly of FedGov.

[B4Ranch]

Yes, watch the crowd. Don’t join it.

[Chode]

100%

[TADSLOS]

Good time to re- read that. Thanks.

[editor-surveyor]

I think we’re at least a decade passed this point already.

[Chode]

yup, welcome...
