The Revolution the US is Experiencing – and What if it Succeeds
American Thinker ^ | 14 Oct, 2020 | Ron Lipsman

Posted on 10/14/2020 4:49:58 AM PDT by MtnClimber

It may be difficult to admit that a full-scale revolution is brewing in the United States of America. While there are no guerilla bands pouring out of the mountains to attack towns or cities or government installations, recent violence by armed revolutionaries against US courthouses may be a harbinger of things to come. While there are no formal press briefings or published manifestos in which the revolutionaries explain why the current system is rotten and why their proposed new system will herald peace and justice, the utterances and proposals of Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and, indeed, of virtually all of the radical left Democratic presidential candidates – as well as those of almost all Democratic Congresspersons and senators, and many radical Democratic city mayors – would seem to qualify.

As for putsches or cleansings at our leading cultural institutions, can you say, “cancel culture”? The expression of traditional ideas that have been mainstream American culture for generations: the American family is primarily one male father, one female mother, and their children; you can get ahead in life by going to school, studying hard, working hard, getting married, and developing products/ideas that others want to obtain/follow -- is now considered a violent aggression worthy of punishment. The people who react thus are revolutionaries.

And there are many of them. Virtually all the opinion molding organs of American society are in the hands of the revolutionaries: the entire educational establishment, the media, the law schools, the libraries, big corporation boards, the entertainment industry and the Democratic Party. Moreover, they are winning. The youth of America have been brainwashed for at least the last 50 years. The average youngster has no idea who John Marshall or Edmund Burke or Adam Smith were or what they said, or how their ideas shaped ...

We have an election coming up so the game is not over yet.

If it sucks, it will be voted out.
If it sucks and can’t be voted out, it will be blown out.
Show them what a real riot looks like.

...and What if it Succeeds?


This is why it was so important for me - BEFORE THE ELECTION - to drive back to Seattle to get my share of the guns and ~40,000 rounds my dad left me and my three siblings when he died a few months ago.

It’s all for self defense and, frankly, making sure we have meat if they succeed.

The only other solace I have is that both parties tend to tone it down a LOT when they actually do get in power. That’s why the R’s kept voting to end obamacare while Obama was president, but when they controlled both houses and the presidency with Trump, they didn’t.

There is definitely a lot of that going on with the D’s right now. But still...

The difference between the R’s and the D’s is that the D’s mean it.

First of all, none of these people are democratic at all, they are marxists. That would be communists for most of us. They desire to steal our freedom. We the people say no thank you, we just have not begun to fight.

This is a communist insurrection that is happening in America right now. Nothing less. Nothing more. The Rats are sitting back while their minions carry out the street violence of intimidation. They all need to be defeated on the battlefield. There’s no other way. Otherwise it will be a slow death.

I think they mean it “more” than the R’s. That is true. But I also believe they lie to their base a lot. They promise too many things that, if done, would literally be the almost instant suicide of our country. Most of them are not stupid enough to do those things, and they will keep people like AOC in check to at least some degree. And if people like her stray too far off the reservation, well, remember the 60’s. There was a lot of assassinations, and they all involved Dem’s. Looking back with the lens of time, I see it as a party “cleansing” by the D’s.

Follow any Republican politician on LinkedIn and look at the hateful collectivist responses to any post he or she makes. And these are not from the kind of basement radicals who flood other social media outlets, but from senior leaders at US companies. The Establishment, such as it is, is overrun with these people.

But unless Trump and Congress get huge winning margins the dhimmicrats will cheat to a supposed victory. Bags of mail in ballots have been found already on the sides of roads.

We are in a quandry.
Fail to react and be seen as weak or react and have the enemy media spin it as tyranny.

Spending 60% or more of their income on rent can make people into leftists.

High rents are why leftists are in the streets.

All land not having a factory on it should be zoned for residential use.

Recent suspicious obituary of David Graeber, anarchist idea guy for the Occupy set may count for your update. He was probably scheduled to lead/coordinate the September 17th Occupy DC til the election, but coincidentally died before arriving.

The rich think they are immune from federal wealth taxation.

They are not. Above average wealth taxation in say Mississippi to meet the proportionality requirement can be credited to standard federal income taxation for Mississippi taxpayers.

Horizontal Harris may soon have the ability to flatten inequality.

Thanks for the link ot Denver post article.

The last frame would be a lot more interesting if the shooter did not have a mask on. It covers his facial expression, but not those of his eyes.

Without these photo’s he probably would not be in jail. He will probably stay in jail.

I stumbled across this YouTube channel about the Cold War.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCGvq-qmjFmmMD4e-PLQqGg

It contains a number of episodes about the Sovietization of the satellite states of Eastern Europe and how it was accomplished. Each instance was rooted in a rigged election, followed by intimidation and pressure on political opposition. Rules were changed to cement one-party hegemony and a few quislings were picked-off from opposition parties to provide cover.

They are apparently running the same playbook here.

If we likewise go down it will likely be decades before events pull us back out again. None of us will be around to see it.

The societal changes that have placed us at the point of either re-electing Trump or watching the Political Left obliterate US sovereignty and intigrate us into a world government are signs that the LEft has not lied that much at all. They have steadily been doing what they are doing for decades.

The only sense in which they have lied is downplaying the changes that they will make when they get into power. Occasionally this gets them into trouble when people actually see the results of what they voted for. But the Left is unabashed about where they want to take the country. Only apolitical people (of which there are many) are ignorant of this.
