They have the resistance isolated and impotent and we don’t even recognize it.

Instead of Lexington Green or The Alamo, where neighbors assembled locally to make a larger statement, these events show that an isolate-and-fix targets strategy works perfectly for them.

They just pick us off one-by-one, as they paint each victim with “crazy” (Ruby Ridge,) “child abuser” (Waco,) “best for the child” (Elian Gonzales,) “polygamy” (west Texas....)

Mix in a few that are really bad dudes, and everyone gets tarred.

Meanwhile, nobody rallies to direct support....just a bunch of anonymous online rahrahs.

I don’t see a way around it. I thought the internet would enable more awareness, but it seems to me that a place like FR simply provides a release for anger that would otherwise motivate people to get involved.

Tea Party rallies? Has it really helped? Or has it just turned us into activists which take time off work to go make signs and protest just like they do.

Sometimes the "target" really is a bad dude.

I kind of wonder if these two didn't meet each other at a group therapy session or something.

I don't disagree with any of what you're saying. They have us right where they want us. And each and every one of us can be taken down with a simple smear. This guy belonged to Oath Keepers and owned guns? That's a short step away from belonging to Free Republic and owning guns... I get that.

We're all susceptible. And we're all targets.

My point was simple: Stay away from Alex Jones at all costs. He's the enemy within. For the Oath Keepers to use his disgraced name in this press release is beyond foolish. It does great harm to their cause as well as ours.

Well I will just accept that the Oath Keepers want to stay tied to this guy.

Do they have an attorney?

Re;#14,

Sam, excellent analysis, and really hard to answer questions. I can't give satisfactory answers.

I also can't figure why there isn't about 90% of public employees enrolled in Oath Keepers. What is it about these people that they would rather take orders from the likes of Janet Reno, or Eric Holder, rather than the Constitution it's self? Civilians don't have to shut up like the military, yet nobody will man up.
