I think the authors is correct to an extent. I think there’s about a 50/50 chance it’ll break one way or the other: Either the people will capitulate or resist. If just a very small percent resist, EVERYONE will be forced to take sides. That goes for pols, police, military, and Mom and Dad. If a small amount people resist, and all of the military and police obey the tyrant’s orders, the people would still win. The Afghan cave men will have essentially beaten Russia and NATO.
The problem is that the government will do all they can to keep the battle lines from being drawn. They’ll use regulations, the IRS, the EPA, and other covert attacks to marginalize individuals. The states won’t bat an eye, Rand Paul will continue to talk his game, and no body will do anything. If the people are to win, the constitution restored, battle lines must be drawn, and we must draw them.
I can tell you one thing for certain. If they came tomorrow and knocked on my door. I hand over everything I have. I’m not about to leave my family without a husband/ father just to become one more working slob gunned down by the police. But, I would also join a resistance if it met certain criteria. Not sure I’ve defined what that criteria is but I’ll know it when I see it.
Make sure they aren’t there. Take the fight to them before they get to your house.
