I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.
Admiral Yamamoto quote | 8/10/2022 | Self

Posted on 08/08/2022 7:50:15 PM PDT by Signalman

Admiral Yamamoto, who led the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, allegedly said, after the attack:

"I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve."

After today's FBI raid I believe many Democrat politicians will soon be saying the same thing about the American electorate.

Perfect for what happened at Mar-A-Lago. Everyone I’ve spoken with is absolutely livid.

I don’t think so. They know what they’re doing. They’re smarter than us. It’s what the elected republicans will do.

Excellent.

I do not wish to say any more than this: I am encouraged by the outrage expressed by many candidates and representatives on my side.

I do not wish to say any more than that, because:

Those that talk, do not act. Those that act, do not talk.

I don’t think they are worried about elections anymore.

Only if McConnell and his ilk can find their balls and put ‘em on.

“Perfect for what happened at Mar-A-Lago. Everyone I’ve spoken with is absolutely livid.”

I was watching the fox news stream on youtube discussing the Mar A Lago raid. And then the screen went black. The message was: “Stream Unavailable. Stream suspended for policy violations.”

The stream then shifted immediately to a discussion of Ron DeSantis.

Criticizing the FBI now results in censorship!!

I have a screenshot of the blackout screen.

Wow.

Think the November elections will be fair? And the “Red Wave” will solve all problems? Think again. I believe the plan is to take out Donald Trump by hook or by Crook. I fear for his life. He will be arrested and “Hang himself in Prison” Like Epstein, Or have a “Heart Attack” like Breitbart did. Or maybe an accident with his airplane. Maybe a nut with a homemade gun like that guy in Japan who got Abe. These are strange times—but the time to break out the big blue flag with a single white star may well be coming.

> I don’t think so. <

Ah, but you’re probably right. The entire country was united after Dec. 7, 1941. No one was still sitting on the fence. This disgusting move by Biden’s FBI will not unite the entire GOP that way.

I hope I’m wrong. But I fear we will get a mix of outrage, indifference, and even some approval of the raid. Not quite the terrible resolve after Pearl Harbor. Again, I hope I’m wrong. We shall see.

@ 6 ‘Those that talk, do not act. Those that act, do not talk.’

Perfect - I might have to borrow that.

I have heard that slogan about the sleeping giant repeated many times over the years....I have yet to see it happen.

It is an open declaration of Civil War by the FBI. Whoever ordered this raid will be discovered and destroyed.

Double the IRS.

Attempt assassination of a Supreme Court Justice.

Send 50 billion to crooked Ukraine and siphon it off.

Destroy the economy.

It is open warfare mow.

When really dumb hikers (the democrats) come upon a 600 lb sleeping grizzly bear then poke it with their walking sticks they shouldn’t be surprised when the bear wakes up in a bad mood then rips the hikers open with their massive claws.

Whether the bear then eats the dead patchouli oil laden hikers will depend on how much clove they ingested beforehand.

I don’t think the Marxist dems thought this through the next day or two. At some point in the future the dems will not have the gentleman’s agreement to not go after the opposition party members since they just obliterated it. All bets are off. The Obama’s, Biden’s, Clinton’s, Cheney’s, and maybe even the Bush’s, Romney’s, McCain’s, etc. are no longer off limits for persecution and prosecution.

The Marxist news media is no longer safe either. The rules have been rewritten without consent.

As I just posted on a different thread, Merrick Garland has unleashed Hell.

Communist Party USA has been planning and little by little taking over the U.S. from within for a century, accelerating the rate in recent decades. They managed to get a set of fools into position under the term “Biden Administration.” They figure that they need to finish their job of taking down the country within this four year period, because it’s worse than nobody watching the store. These evil doers are not only undoing all the great things Trump did for the American people and the security of the country, but they are working for the enemy. Abandoning Afghanistan was just one historic evil. a day does not go by when several traitorous decisions are not made. Trump was a terrific president and they are pushing out every outrageious propaganda lie machine they can muster. CBS radio news, always an awful propaganda station for the Left, has gone to an extreme in the past few days, it literally takes one’s breath away. This is not “like the Soviets and the Mao govt.” It IS the Soviet govt out for the jugular of all who love this country and understand that it is being totally destroyed, along with our children, our parents, our sacred places and historic remembrances.
What is left? They have put up these absurd “hearings” to frighten us all from demonstrating. They censor our every comment online and watch what we post. Now a huge army of IRS agents will be hired under the absurd new mendacious bill and that army will find reason to imprison countless people for being “political enemies.” Gulag America.
