Is the United States in the Midst of an Insurgency?
American Thinker ^ | 4 Oct, 2020 | Matt Rowe

Posted on 10/04/2020 5:49:36 AM PDT by MtnClimber

If we consider the regular trajectory of insurgencies, we're already halfway through the cycle -- but it can still be stopped if we act fast.

The violence and rioting in the US result from far more than just dissatisfaction with the police. Extreme ideological social justice movements today are more likely to carry firearms than items for a food pantry. We currently face nothing less than the early stages of a socialist insurgency.

Insurgency is an organized rebellion to overthrow a constituted government by undermining its legitimacy through protest and disinformation, and ultimately through armed conflict. This may sound dramatic, but consider the steps already completed by BLM/ANTIFA in the Insurgency Pyramid used by the US Army Special Forces community to characterize an insurrection (Figure 1).

Initially, when the insurgents are still weak, they organize around a group that is actively dissatisfied with political and social conditions and desires ideological or other changes. In America, who better to target than the poorest and least educated black Americans, for they already believe they have a legitimate grievance?

Insurgents use propaganda and political efforts to exploit this atmosphere, creating more significant discontent that discredits the government. BLM and ANTIFA have made it abundantly clear that they believe the existing government and socio-economic system are unjust and exclude them.

It’s well known that leftists intimidate people, so they refrain from presenting counter-factual arguments. Then, by spinning the narrative for high-profile events, they build credibility and feed the general sense of public dissatisfaction.

If Biden wins, he packs the Supreme with 7 leftist thugs and gives to the vote to 20 million illegals. Constitution gone and and a permanent socialist majority.

Game over. America is a Stalinist state.

Not a shot fired.

THAT is why they are so angry about 2016.

The dimrat party morphed into the CPUSA in 2008 with obama.
He allowed all this infiltration to go on during his 8 years in the White House. Obama was the trojan horse that brought all this to fruition.

And the MSM helped with all this by not chasing down leads on Obama’s anti American attitudes and his past associations.

Matt Rowe is just the author of the article. I think he expanded on Mao's Three Steps to a Revolution. I happen to think this is like a Color Revolution where the election will be set up for turmoil to support the claim that Trump is an illegitimate president and to give a reason for his removal by disloyal elements in the military and government.

Witness should have been (and still should be) required reading. An amazing testimony, exquisitely expressed.

What is a Color Revolution? by Gina MarieSeptember 22, 2020

From: https://www.conservativedailynews.com/2020/09/what-is-a-color-revolution/

To be clear, it is important to note, Kerry was a major player involved in color revolutions in many countries which include but are not limited to: Bahrain (Pearl Revolution), Russia (Snow Revolution), Macedonia (Colorful Revolution), and Armenia (Velvet Revolution) and Hilary Clinton (Arab Springs), and so on. June 22, 2020 John Kerry warns of revolution if President Trump wins the election in November. Kerry and others are laying the foundation for the revolution. Now, do I have your attention? Where are we and how does it happen? You can see for yourself and then find supporting evidence. Do it quickly as more and more evidence is disappearing. You have to remember who owns social media and realize that google owns the English language, so to speak, therefore your searches are censored and controlled. Presumably, this will get worse as we get closer to the election. There are Seven Pillars of a Color Revolution: 1) A semi-autocratic rather than fully autocratic regime, 2) An unpopular incumbent, 3) A united and organized opposition, 4) An ability quickly to drive home the point that voting results were falsified, 5) Compliant independent media to inform citizens about the falsified vote, 6) A political opposition capable of mobilizing tens of thousands or more demonstrators to protest electoral fraud, and 7) Divisions among the regime’s coercive forces. (Division among police and military) Explained: 1)Paint Trump as a semi-autocratic and unpopular incumbent e.g. Fascist, Hitler, by any means possible. Left wanted Trump to implement draconian measures and laws with regard to: Covid-he refused to mandate national mandates; riots – didn’t send in the troops rather informed the individuals at city and state levels to “ask for help” since it was up to each of them to protect their citizens and protect their states. 2)Make the president unpopular. Well, this started at day one Trump was under attack from the left. 3)I think that is blatantly obvious by truly looking at the left and their use of Antifa and BLM. Tee Stern (Antifa) who is the head of the Atlanta branch said, “The ultimate vision is to…for people to break with their comfort and come into the streets day after day, night after night into the hundreds of thousands, into the millions: and not leave until they have to step down.” June 20, 2020 a new video surfaced from Project Veritas shows an “anti-fascist” group, whose objective is to take down the Trump administration, while admitting to having received funding from George Soros. 4)Actions in federal courts are allowing mail-in ballots to be counted as many as 6 days after the election setting the stage so that Americans will doubt the outcome and Biden’s 600+ lawyers will contest the results anywhere possible to further this confusion 5)The media will toe the line and report on each and any assertion the Biden lawyers make – whether or not there is a basis for the claims. 6)Black Lives Matter, Antifa, Unions, even public schools are organizing protests and, in some cases, violent riots 7)The call to Defund and neutralize the police, using Floyd is the weapon to promote the nonsense, has been nonstop. Crime is across the country is increasing as more and more officers are resigning. Most people realize that none of this about Floyd, but some refuse to see what is blatantly obvious along with the forces pushing this agenda. Obama removed the US military as an obstacle to the overthrow of a president by purging the general ranks and replacing them with men who see the military only as a profit system.

Make the president unpopular. Well, this started at day one Trump was under attack from the left.

I think that is blatantly obvious by truly looking at the left and their use of Antifa and BLM.

Tee Stern (Antifa) who is the head of the Atlanta branch said, “The ultimate vision is to…for people to break with their comfort and come into the streets day after day, night after night into the hundreds of thousands, into the millions: and not leave until they have to step down.”

June 20, 2020 a new video surfaced from Project Veritas shows an “anti-fascist” group, whose objective is to take down the Trump administration, while admitting to having received funding from George Soros.

Actions in federal courts are allowing mail-in ballots to be counted as many as 6 days after the election setting the stage so that Americans will doubt the outcome and Biden’s 600+ lawyers will contest the results anywhere possible to further this confusion

The media will toe the line and report on each and any assertion the Biden lawyers make – whether or not there is a basis for the claims.

Black Lives Matter, Antifa, Unions, even public schools are organizing protests and, in some cases, violent riots

The call to Defund and neutralize the police, using Floyd as the weapon to promote the nonsense, has been nonstop. Crime is across the country is increasing as more and more officers are resigning.

The Marxist Training Manual for this Insurgency is
Glenn Beck and crew has been warning people about this for many years.

Sooner or later we're going to have to defeat this insurgency by eliminating the insurgents, ... plain and simple !

Or...

We can ask them to be nice. We can make treaties and agreements with them. Find agreement in the obvious, like denouncing God, Right Wing Extremists etc. And if that doesn’t work, we can have them relocate us to places that are safe for them and us..places we can work/be free.

Insurgency is an organized rebellion to overthrow a constituted government.

The democrat party prove it now they are in the open with it.
