Though his hatred may be concealed by deceit, his evil will be uncovered in the assembly. - Proverbs 26: 24-26
Where are ours
Standard 'protest' don't work in totalitarian hellholes - the chief thug has everyone killed... What's the playbook to deal with this evil:
“Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either -- but right through every human heart -- and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained. And even in the best of all hearts, there remains ... an unuprooted small corner of evil.
Since then I have come to understand the truth of all the religions of the world: They struggle with the evil inside a human being (inside every human being). It is impossible to expel evil from the world in its entirety, but it is possible to constrict it within each person.”
― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956
I am not as pessimistic as you, but it is very well done.
A month ago, bought a couple of modern sporting rifle kits for the grandkids...
The oldest is four.
This for discussion.
Most of the power centers of the Left are metropolises on the coasts.
Coastal cities have access to supplies that do not come from the interior of the United States.
Food can be brought into ports, even if transport on the interior is cut.
Electricity (probably limited, but much better than none) might be delivered from nuclear ships...
Maybe natural gas power generators could have have liquefied natural gas delivered via the ports.
How much control of the Navy will which side have in a CW2 as envisioned?
Most cities rely on power generated a considerable distance from the city. There are exceptions. Phoenix gets most of its power from the Palo Verde nuclear plant only 20 miles away.
What other cities in the U.S. have power sources reasonably close?
Most of Los Angeles power comes from outside the city, a good ways away.
But 33% of the power comes from natural gas plants inside the city, and 7% come form nearby hydro power plants. If LA can keep getting natural gas, they can keep 50% of their power online. They have some smaller sources that likely would add the additional 10%. Palo Verde would probably be cut off from LA. (Palo Verde supplies about 9% of LA power) The lines go right by my place in Arizona.
It may not be clear that most of the cities will be out of power in CW2.
How vulnerable the grid is for city power needs a bit more analysis. I already see substations being hardened. President Trump is taking measures to protect against EMP strikes...
Food for discussion.
Thanks for the link, Matt. I will give it a read.
Much easier to say than to do.
Your average rebel is not going to be able to switch power on and off at the neighborhood level. The grid isn’t set up that way.
Even turning the power off to an individual house is dangerous if you don’t know what your doing.
? Ya lost Me Boss. ?
REDNECK QUIET DEVICE
You don’t think that transformers from large to local will be shot at? Really? Ever hear of Metcalf? Do you know what a 30-06 does to an insulator?
What countries are going to supply food to these American coastal cities sufficient to keep them functioning normally? Has this happened in Caracas? Where is all the Chinese and Russian food for Venezuela?
If the USA is in the thrall of anarchy/civil war, the rest of the world is going to slide into a depression. No country will be loading up ships with enough food to keep the blue hives from imploding.
Ditto fuel deliveries. China and Russia will have their own problems.
The EU will side with the blue state coastal cities. You can count on that. They will deliver the goods to their fellow commies.
Um yeah it is setup that way. I could set up a diesel power generator ( if it were big enough ) at our local sub station. It ain't that hard.
I’ve read your books. I loved your essay.
And the denial some people are in should astound me but doesn’t. Most wont fight. Their minds probably just can’t grasp what might be on the cusp of happening. I’m 45. I’ve got a great life. I’ve got a great family. And I’m 100% willing to fight for this country I love with my entire soul. I served in the NAVY and that oath I took won’t expire until I’m dead. When that trigger occurs and the shit finally happens we are going to need that one person to lead us. Your that leader sir.
Then why is nobody delivering massive quantities of food to Venezuela?
It’s not as easy as you make it out.
Plus, during an American implosion, China, Russia the EU etc will all be in depressions or worse.
How long is your diesel going to last? Then what? Where will it come from?
The big Generac’s we have in our neighborhoods are meant to help pump water for a few days. That’s it. Then they are dry.
Thanks, but it won’t be me. The situation will not lend itself to national leadership. It will be Bosnia X Rwanta at the zip code and street level, in the dark, hungry, etc.
Why would power plants in Nebraska be shut down? You paint with too broad of a brush.
“Civil War Two will be brutal in every corner of America, but it will be absolutely catastrophic for the inhabitants of the blue hives when their sustenance is cut off.”
The big cities will become death zones, from several factors - no electricity/hvac, low/no food, thugfests.
Buy lots of ammo and keep practicing.
