On the heels of NDAA, ObamaCare, Stimulus, Son of Stimulus, Patriot Act, takeover of auto, energy, media and movie industries, and the relentless implementation of Agenda 21... the Obama regime running our country into the ground has issued an updated Executive Order which suggests the probability of impending MARTIAL LAW.
We are left to scratch our heads and ask……… Why now?
The only possible answer is…
America is in fact, right now, in the vicious throes of a Cold Civil War.
Cold as in non-violent and Civil as in nationwide; an attempt to force a new government-controlled ideology upon an unwilling public.
And the forces implementing this agenda are relentless.
The National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order is nothing more than a blatant attempt to stir trouble of the highest intensity. The regime is looking to see who jumps and to see the movement that happens amongst the most vocal defenders of our rights, (you and me). They are poking us to see if we will go over the edge and do something so stupid that there will be a crisis… it will be our fault… and if any of our number are provoked enough to rise to the proverbial bait -- they will finally lower the hammer… all in the name of "national security and public safety."
These are classic Soviet style tactics designed and implemented in an effort to make us react, get us to either flinch and shut up, or overreact and get suppressed. It is also an exercise so they can gather intel on who is who and who has pull.
Many of us are trained. We know this game.
But we cannot stand down. We cannot be silent. We MUST stand together as one…WITHOUT VIOLENCE, for there is no going back from that; we MUST speak out with the conviction and the authority granted by our unalienable rights and the United States Constitution! Remember Martin Niemöller and his immortal wisdom about the failure of courage in speaking out; “Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me.” The regime is limiting our speech on a daily basis, so speak up while you still can. But be smart about what you say. Do not be tempted to phrase your words in terms of violence. For this is the way of the enemy and we should never stoop to their low and bloody tactics, whether in word or deed.
Keep preparing for rough times ahead. Stock your pantry in preparation for lean days, even as the regime attempts to make such things illegal. Focus your mind on liberty, that it should never die.
I cannot tell you exactly what is coming but I know, as do you, that something unprecedented in American history, perhaps even all human history, is coming soon.
This is the common theme in most of all the conversations that I hear… there is something coming, no one really knows what it is; they just know that whatever it is, it will be momentous. The discussions range from quantifying this "something" to describing what we will do after "IT" happens. I even hear serious open conversation of the Biblical “End of Times.” People, even those outside the grassroots Tea Party movement, feel it in their bones.
Speculation runs rampant as people ponder the feeling in their gut. It could begin with something as simple as personal unemployment. It may be the 2012 general election -- or NOT. Or it could be any number of events that will trigger Martial Law and the now legal occupation of America by her own troops, under the un-Constitutional NDAA.
Those types of events are limitless and terrifying. It could be a full scale crash of our economy and dollar. It could be a new World War launched by Israel attacking Iran, or vice versa. It could be the launch of the rumored North Korean EMP attack designed to hurl America 100 years back into pre-electronic time. It could be Islamic jihadists succeeding in a catastrophic terrorist attack. It could be the enemy within if the Obama Administration's aided and abetted “Occupy” movement transfers and escalates the violence witnessed in Oakland to the rest of the country.
Whatever the trigger might be, we are about to get the education of a lifetime on what it is to struggle. It will either make us more committed Americans, earning the Latin communitas – or it will literally tear us apart. I believe that the source of this struggle springs from the complex sublimity of global despotic tyranny – ultimate oppression.
Our culture is in the midst of a moral dilemma where bad is now good and what was deemed originally American by our Founders is now un-American. The Founders are all but outlawed because soon, unless those who hate freedom are halted, after the regime finishes destroying the Bill of Rights they will also totally erase the Founders from the educational curriculum. They will outlaw the works of our Founding Fathers and destroy their very existence, burning books and erasing American liberty from history. It will be done incrementally and they will transform our history into one that aligns with their totalitarian views.
Every single day we have now turned to reacting to what the regime is putting out instead of looking to where they are taking us. The powers pulling the levers of tyranny are every day more draconian and daring in scope as they usurp our institutions and drain the power from our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Most all of the stories that are important and should be seen are buried by the complicit media at the end of the weekly news cycles and under the cloak of darkness.
In Quantum Theory there is a concept called a singularity or a black hole. Just as a black hole cannot be seen in space, the actual truth and facts of the world situation and the intentions of the U.S. government must be judged by the influence exerted on the objects around it -- extortion, manipulation, intimidation, czars, fascist over- regulation designed to purposefully strangle an economy and legislate away your right to defend and provide for yourself -- all in an effort to force you into their food line dependency and powerlessness!
The gravity of a black hole is so monumental that even light collapses upon itself. And in the same way, the lights of liberty are also collapsing upon themselves as media, government officials and useful idiots corrupt our understanding of American Exceptionalism so we can never really know the nefarious plot that seeks to turn our good country into an empty carcass they can declare the "failed" American Experiment. Their answer to the great philosopher’s question, “Can man govern himself” will surely be no.
It must be noted that this current Administration is not the only perpetrator. A long history of Administrations, both Republican and Democrat, have eaten away at our freedom. This Obama Administration, so fatally attacking our liberty, is just the one closing the noose. The broad strokes of true Communism were tightly woven into the ObamaCare and Stimulus bills, yet most Americans had no clue. The technocratic, lawyer-istic drool contained within those bills made it even harder to comprehend that Soft Tyranny was the true intent. And Soft Tyranny always ends in Hard Tyranny -- a horror not yet experienced by Americans never exposed to adversity and real stress -- where tyrannical forces purposefully separate us from each other, turn us against each other (compulsory service, Ready Reserve, NDAA and the coercions in 5201 of ObamaCare) and control every aspect of our lives… lives which then become CRUEL because YOUR life will now be totally and completely ruled by THEIR choice.
IF THEY WIN, even the passion to be free and ultimately the reality itself of being free will be as if these blessings have never existed. Tyranny can never allow such powerful ideas to remain in the collective consciousness.
They will burn our books and they will attempt to erase our God. Because without the concept of freedom codified in books by the brilliant minds of Cicero, Locke and Montesquieu; without the inspiration and institutions from our Founders; without the guidance of God to the understanding that there is a higher power than the government, there would never have been our nation "conceived in liberty."
But while I believe this struggle in which we are engaged is the struggle of the century, nay, the struggle of all centuries, I also believe in American Exceptionalism.
I believe that the heart and soul of America is strong and vibrant and that we shall not falter in our commitment to liberty.
We live NOW in the times that will try men’s souls.
CHOOSE NOW!
Are you a Summer Soldier, a Sunshine Patriot only to speak out when times are easy and there is no risk?
Or are you an American Exceptionalist who will STAND with me, RIGHT NOW to preserve our liberty, our beliefs and the American Way?

“equally difficult to occupy as afghanis. You and I both know americans would be easier to occupy than afghanis.”
I highly recommend a movie called “the Beast” or similar about Soviet tank and crew in Afghanistan being pursued, attacked and killed. Learn some tactics and motivational skills.
I agree
Most governors will recall their guard. And I cannot and will not believe that the military would fire on its own people.
And if this be the plan why the reduction of the military? Would you not wish to make it larger if you had some plan to us them against Americans?
Ben lays it all out. Good read....I hope people are paying attention....at least the right people.
All I know is that I watched a video of a TSA agent molesting a child in his wheel chair and daddy thanking him when the thug finally released his family from the search. Pretty sick. It was like, “Thank you Mr. thug, for molesting my son because he’s in a body cast.”
Americans would jump off a cliff if authority figures, “agents”, told them to do it. They would murder each other at the drop of a hat if told to do so.
All the Feds need to is cook up a demon story about the arrested Govenor, run it through Marxist enternatinment and news, and Americans will don hoodies, demanding his immediate murder.
Americans, in the majority, are totally twisted these days. O baaaaaa ma. O baaaaaa ma.
James Delingpole: The consensus on printing money reminds me of the case for global warming
Almost half the population would take the government side no matter what, it sends them checks.
Much of the rest would not want to be noticed.
Very few people, relatively speaking, would take up arms AGAINST the government. Hopefully it’d be enough.
That is the beauty of a republic. If your state pulls out of the USA then the Federal Govt no longer is "your" govt. anymore. Hehe.
Cool!
One thread pinged to both CWII and Nut-job Conspiracy Theory!
Our enemies are barbarians and murderers.
Their defeat can be accomplished with nothing short of a level of devastation reminiscent of the Old Testament.
But even that will not destroy them; they are animated by the darkest evil that inhabits men's souls; the best we can hope for is to drive them into "remission" for a generation or two.
The IRA never had more than about 300 members in “Active Service Units”.
They kept Northern Ireland in chaos for decades.
I have a feeling there are going to be many more *combo pings* from now until November. Thanks for this one.
How does one go about finding out if your state guard/militia is under your own state Governor as you mentioned, vs. part of national guard? If it ever came down to this, I believe an organized resistance under authorized local/state leadership would be successful, whereas just “lone wolf” individuals would not (yes -against roving bands of barbarians, but not so successful against an organized federal force coming through communities and kicking down doors with their co-ordinated communications, drones, and whatever else we may be facing.) Plus it is Biblical to respect authority and if you have an authorized righteous local government that is standing up to an evil, wicked, fraudulent government you are actually doing right at that point. I hope my state’s guard/militia is set up this way but don’t know even where to look to find out.
Not so easy. There would initially be chaos, but many people would be able to flee. The SF peninsula is blocked by water on 3 sides, but not so in the greater Bay Area. And even with major choke points on roads on the peninsula, many out of a couple million can flee on alternative roads, or make their way through the wilderness trails along the peninsula (only a small sliver is populated). The forested areas have lots of game and fresh water lakes and streams, so smart people won't starve (smart people being the minority of conservatives here and we are armed). It is even easier to flee on the other side of the bay.
I've lived and hiked in all parts of the Bay Area all my life. I have done detailed habitat restoration in this region for the last twenty years. I know this country intimately. You don't know what the hell you are talking about.
San Francisco and the peninsula are obviously landlocked, but for the most part they are soon contained by chaparral so dense you can't reasonably force your body through it. Burn it and you'd have a conflagration with easy pickings thereafter. There's no summer water on most of that land and almost nothing to eat because it is so heavily overstocked with decadent oak/madrone woodland. To take the crowd down, all it would take is a drip torch.
My wife and I spent months exploring escape routes out of the South Bay. The Mid-Peninsula Open Space District had allowed EVERY trail on the map that went outward to the South and West (toward our home) to become overgrown. They were all gone. To the East of the South Bay (south of Sunol) is the Diablo Range. Good luck there. Not only is there chaparral on many of the eastern slopes there's little to no water in the summer except in reservoirs where people would be easily rounded up, worse if they poison them. To the East of the Bay Area proper, after crossing the hills, again with dense chaparral is the San Ramon Valley, where they'd run into similar chaos. To the east of that it is again dry as a bone. To the North of the East Bay is the River. No crossing that.
I don't buy your contention.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even you. I was born and raised here, and often use the trails. So I do think I know at the very least, something about what I’m saying. All this talk of 50 soldiers choking off 12 million people, killing them with smallpox, burning the wilderness to kill people, and poisoning the water supplies to kill everyone, is, well, the mutterings of a lunatic. But you’re entitled to your opinion. I’ll stick to more rational talk.
whoa...its getting scairy.
BFLR
I know all sorts of people who fit that description who wouldn't know an edible plant in the wild if their life depended on it.
All this talk of 50 soldiers choking off 12 million people, killing them with smallpox, burning the wilderness to kill people, and poisoning the water supplies to kill everyone, is, well, the mutterings of a lunatic.
I see. No water, no sewage treatment, less than two weeks of food, no refrigeration, and you think things would be just fine.
Re smallpox: who first proposed eradicating smallpox, when were the last vaccinations, how does the immunity last, and where is the world's largest store of weaponized virus?
I take it you think such a deed beyond either communists or Islamo-fascists. I beg to differ. BTW, the case for LA is even worse.
Then it's not really a civil war, is it? It's government -- every government, every administration -- pushing for more control. Some times the control is necessary, and sometimes it isn't, but the "sides" in this change when the party in power does.
I also believe in American Exceptionalism.
Gotta stop saying that. It doesn't mean what people think it does. Or rather, that expression can mean so many different things that you have to explain what you're talking about when you use it.
