Wouldn’t you agree that we are seeing Cloward-Pliven in action right now in this county? It seems as if our current government doesn’t mind working overtime at the moment destroying everything in the country that we need in order to support ourselves and remain an independent people.

Absolutely I agree that is the goal of what we're seeing from many politicians currently.

I'm not sure there is a solution that would be so obvious that they'd abandon their plans, but I suspect if there were such a thing it'd be a condition where it is clear they wouldn't have the upper hand in the power vacuum aftermath of the collapse they seek to cause.

The deal is, I think there already is, at a minimum, competition to fill that vacuum from American groups such as the Tea party folks...but liberals are typically self deluded and rather blind and dense. So it would have to be very obvious to them (which is a high threshold) that they will fail in the aftermath.

For the time being I think conservatives need to strengthen their connections in their local communities. Many already have, we are, after all, average Americans. But it is, I believe, from this strong local community base that will be the building blocks of society and resistance to the tyranny the left seeks to impose.

Absolutely! Very well said, again.

I live in a very rural area in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. My neighbors and I have a barter system that we set up a several years ago to keep out of sight of the government in our daily commerce between one another. One of the primary reasons for doing such was to be prepared in case we ever faced a situation with the government which we seem to be approaching right now.

It gives a small comfort at least that we might ignore much of the government mess right now and go about our business. Many in my community have relatives who made whiskey back in the day and were able to pretty much ignore the Yankee government we have never trusted. As long as they didn’t trade outside of the community, they were safe and were more or less invisible.
