"Government crushes dissenters"
It was reading headlines like that in the 1970's and 1980's that prompted me to go into the line of work that I did... but those headlines, in those days, were all about overseas situations. Now it has come here.
Stalin, Mao, Lenin, Castro, and Pol Pot would all be proud of their proteges.
I don't go to political rallies, and I don't go to protests. This sort of thing is exactly why. I saw this coming a long time ago. Even in 2019 and 2020, when the Second Amendment was under threat in VA, I didn't go to the protests. There was a big march in Richmond folks tried to get me to go to, and I said not just no, but HELL no. Well why not? Dontcha want to protest for your rights? Nope. I already have my rights. Their problem is going to be taking them away, and they can't do that with any speech or any legislation. They've got to show up HERE, and point guns at me. I'm not about to go traipsing off into the wild and give them an excuse on a silver platter... I'm gonna make 'em work for it.
I don't even care about protests or rallies. No one listens anyhow. All they do is take down names to come after you later. The protest itself is not going to change a goddamned thing, because no one is going to listen, no one is going to pay any attention to what you say unless they can use it to trip you up later with. It's pointless, an exercise in futility.
Now what do you suppose is going to happen when a whole lot of folks realize that? What's the next box to stand on when the soap box isn't working for you because your government isn't listening? When the ballot box is being stuffed by budding totalitarians? When the jury box is being used against you by a malicious government bent on destroying your rights?
Folks, there ain't but one box left to rely on. It's going to get serious when a critical mass of folks realize that.
Ugly ain't even the beginning of it - it's gonna get YOO-gly.
That's why I'm not excited about that "Civil War" movie coming out. From what I've seen, it's pure propaganda and prepping the masses for some truly ugly shit they would not otherwise put up with. I mean, seriously - Texas and California forming an alliance against the Feds? Texas and CALIFORNIA on the same side? Whose fevered mind spawned that load of horse shit? A three-term president? That's been illegal for a long time now. After FDR's 4th term, folks said "sheesh, give it a damn break man! "and passed a law outlawing it. Now WHO do you suppose that 3 term president is supposed to represent? You know, WHO is it we are being massaged to think of as a criminal in office? WHO is it being dragged through court constantly to try to keep from running?
And then THAT prez, the three-term criminal dude, starts bombing US citizens in the movie.
Really?
We are being conditioned. Provocations are rampant, with more coming. Some one, some where, is gonna break, and that's all the excuse they'll need. Don't let that some one be YOU. Prep up, but don't go looking for trouble - trouble will come to you, and soon enough. Pick your battlefield and make them fight on your terms... don't go looking for a fight on theirs.
