It really does not depend on the military. It depends on control of the information flow. If the state is able to control the flow of information, we lose. If they cannot control the flow of information, we will likely win.
It will not be suburbanites with deer rifles against Marines.
It will be former Marines, hunters, firearm instructors against politicians, media figures, big city political machines, and their staffs.
It will all come down to information flow and the freedom to spread information.
Obama signs order outlining emergency Internet control A new executive order addresses how the country deals with the Internet during natural disasters and security emergencies, but it also puts a lot of power in the government's hands.Obama gives himself control of all communication systems in America US President Barack Obama quietly signed his name to an Executive Order on Friday, allowing the White House to control all private communications in the country in the name of national security. President Obama released his latest Executive Order on Friday, July 6, a 2,205-word statement offered as the “Assignment of National Security and Emergency Preparedness Communications Functions.” And although the president chose not to commemorate the signing with much fanfare, the powers he provides to himself and the federal government under the latest order are among the most far-reaching yet of any of his executive decisions.
