And what brought those regimes down? Millions of people refusing to cooperate any further. Tens of thousands surrounding key buildings and refusing to leave. People setting seige to parliments. We don't know how those tactics would work here, but again, using history as a guide they seem promising.

The MSM was horrified by the Tea Party and 9/12 rallies in our nations capitol, and went all out to lie about the numbers, organize counter protests, etc. Why? Perhaps they had good reason.

There are other methods to which I pray we do not have to resort described here by one who lived through them.

Solzhenitsyn’s wisdom may be updated by simply substituting “tyrants” for “communists” (but they’re synonyms, aren’t they?). And be warned that they are EVERYWHERE. Get my drift?

“...At what exact point, then, should one resist the
communists?...”
“How we burned in the prison camps later thinking: what
would things have been like if every Security operative, when he
went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether
he would return alive and had to say good bye to his family?
“Or if during periods of mass arrests people had not simply
sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang on the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had
understood they had nothing to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand...the Organs (police) would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers...and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt.”
Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Gulag Archipelago
