Choose Your Ground
American Greatness ^ | 9 Mar, 2021 | Max Morton

Following the November 3 election and subsequent January 6 protest at the Capitol, the current regime set out to eliminate political opposition by casting them as “white supremacists” and “domestic extremists.” They intend to use the legal authorities, tactics, and techniques that were previously employed against Al Qaeda and ISIS against those ordinary Americans who refuse to accept the ruling elite’s political ideology.

Simply put, the most deadly counterterrorism machine from the world’s most powerful country is coming for you. You, ordinary American, are the target. Now is not the time for impotent tough talk and posturing with weapons at protests. The Second Amendment, and all of our rights, are critical to a free society, and we should seek to understand how best to exercise and defend them from authoritarian factions of the ruling elite. This is the time to get smart on how to counter this assault on liberty and avoid falling into the traps the ruling elite are setting for traditional America.

Defense-in-Depth

The U.S. military uses a concept called “defense-in-depth” as its primary defensive strategy. Defense-in-depth is a layered, multi-domain approach that uses numerous defensive elements designed to delay and diffuse the advance of an attacker. Rather than relying on a single, strong defensive line, the defender wears down the enemy, causing casualties while deliberately yielding space. Once the enemy has lost momentum and is under stress, the defender mounts a decisive counterattack to destroy the enemy or drive them back to their original lines.

SNIP

The Polish Solidarity movement used many of these same political actions to bring down a socialist government at the height of the Cold War without firing a shot, despite having to outmaneuver rigged elections and a Soviet-style corrupt bureaucracy.

Where does the Second Amendment fit into the concept of a political defense-in-depth?

A long article, but some good points.

Chilling words that should be passed around our side for sobriety in those who still do not understand what is happening.

And if you question whether Obama was born in USA or not, you are a BIRTHER! And if you question the 911 official report you are a TRUTHER! And if you are anti abortion you are a RADICAL EXTREMIST! And if you disagree with anything the libs say you are a RACIST! All they do is call names. They never actually have a conversation about the TRUTH!.

“In asymmetric political warfare [you are here], the weaker party wins by not losing. Its greatest strength is its ability to endure. The goal is to wear down the stronger party and use its own inefficiencies and weaknesses against it. The weaker party chooses the ground to fight on and avoids being drawn into a fixed battle. That means avoiding armed conflict unless the conditions for victory are ensured. This is the same strategy our enemies effectively used against us in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.”


“Keep in mind that agents provocateurs and government informants are now a part of the political landscape. The regime wants to restrict or eliminate constitutional rights it deems problematic, including the Second Amendment. Don’t make it easy for them by following their agents provocateurs. Those who continuously espouse violence are poseurs and provocateurs. Government informants are paid to lie for their handlers. Treat both of them like any other undesirable character and walk away.

Remember the old Russian proverb: “Three men sit down to talk about revolution. Two are police informants, and the third is a fool.””


Sand in the gears. Every chance you get. Passive-aggressive resistance. And smile and laugh at them lots.

That appears to be the bottom line of this article.

For instance, if 30% of postal workers went to work every day along with the rest, but dragged their feet in such a way that management recrimination would be difficult, the postal system would collapse.

Truck drivers doing the same, UPS workers joining in and all done in a low key way that avoids looking like a plan. Things just happen to make a bad day.

I suspect this is what the writer is suggesting.

And it misses the point to say that the Biden administration will not collapse. It will because of the economic consequences.

There is no way the country can support the economic penalties.

My ‘ground’ is ‘The Free State of Diana’ where all is well. I declared myself a self-governing entity on November 3, 2020 when Socialist Democrats and the feckless RINOs PROVED to me that my vote doesn’t count for shiite.

“Keep in mind that agents provocateurs and government informants are now a part of the political landscape.:

It has always been that way, but once again, President Trump deserves the CREDIT for showing the WORLD how corrupt American Government is.

It was a great system, while it lasted. Thanks, Socialist Democrats! Nothing like soiling your own nest, ya dopes. :(

I was kind of joking.

Diplomacy does not work with demoncraps, and the political solution was a stolen election.

Those things are not a joke.
