"The Battlefield Is The United States Of America"
Submitted by Simon Black of Sovereign Man blog,
When you’ve got a guy like Senator John McCain who says “The battlefield is the United States of America,” it tells you that almost nothing is safe in the Land of the Free.
Whatever remains of civil liberties is going to feel the full brunt of the state’s boot heel.
They’re already regulating some of the most fundamental aspects of life, from how we are allowed to educate our children to what we can / cannot put in our bodies to the very nature of money.
People are forced to hold their savings in insolvent banks backed by insolvent insurance funds backed by insolvent governments. And those insolvent governments have demonstrated that they are perfectly willing to directly confiscate accounts.
Retirement funds have proven to be an easy, tempting target. A number of countries including Argentina, Ireland, and Hungary have appropriated private pensions. Even the US government temporarily dipped into federal employee pensions.
Western governments are making every possible effort to take over the Internet. Despite every previous attempt (SOPA, PIPA, etc.) failing due to public outcry, they keep trying and trying (ACTA, CISPA, etc.).
They’re raising taxes, creating new ones (including Maryland’s new ‘rain tax’), imposing capital controls, racking up debt, and rapidly devaluing their currencies.
It all reeks of desperation… and it’s all so obvious. At least, for anyone paying attention.
Unfortunately it’s easy to lose sight of the truth. After all, how can there be any economic problems when the stock market is at an ‘all-time high’ and Nobel Prize winning pseudo-scientists tell us that debt levels don’t matter?
Truth is, these enormous challenges shouldn’t be ignored. The entire global financial system is sitting on a bed of dynamite. Central bankers are dousing the pile with gasoline while politicians are standing around smoking.
The potential for epic disaster cannot be understated.
This is not to say that the world is coming to an end. Far from it. History is quite generous with past example of once-great civilizations that collapsed under the weight of their own hubristic debt.
Things didn’t end. They changed. Simple. And that’s what’s happening now in a textbook fashion.
Governments in trouble almost ALWAYS resort to the same destructive tactics. When things are clearly on the decline, rather than INCREASING freedom and opportunity, they try to control EVERYTHING.
We’re already seeing the early stages of this with competitive devaluation, basic capital controls, and bank withdrawal limits.
These will soon give way to wider capital controls, increased border controls, wage and price controls, asset confiscation, and more.
It only delays the inevitable. The more they control, the more rapid the deterioration becomes. Again, this isn’t some sensationalist prediction; it is the very common historical trend.
The other thing that history shows us, however, is that there are always a handful of people who see the writing on the wall and take action. And that action has almost universally involved looking abroad and diversifying internationally.
This is a time-tested strategy that was once available only to the wealthy landed class. But with modern air transport, digital communication, and global competition, solutions are now available to just about anyone.
I’ll be honest with you– moving one’s assets, business, and even family overseas isn’t easy. These are complicated topics with numerous tax, financial, and professional implications. So go carefully and rationally.
But when structured properly, history shows that a well-informed offshore strategy can have a generational impact should chaos ensue.
And, should nothing ever go wrong in the world, you won’t be worse off for it.

McCain is old, he will be dead soon...
Those 8 words are very likely the best insight I've read thus far, In my opinion there is a sense of panic among the operatives of TPTB who have come face to face with the mortality of their evil... knowing they will soon be replaced by a generation of decently inclined people.
Outlasting our old dysfunctional evil warmongers will bring me much joy.
"Whacko Bird". Please resign Senator Bought-off. Your class mates hated you. Your fellow aviators hated you. You were last in your class, the Admiral's legacy. Please go away.
yeah, but his overseas masters love him right where he is... harming America for the benefit of the global banking cartel. War i Syria up next, compliments of parasites like McCain.
I remember when they forgave him for being one of the S&L Keating Five. His career should have stopped right then and there.
With you all the way Whiner, but at least McCain showed up. "W" couldn't even do that. I agree they're both shitheads.
It's more complicated than that.
When the services are the family "tradition" it's no big deal, and it would been more surprising if he hadn't gone.
When the family tradition is cowardice, selfishness, or greed, the surprising choice is when they do show up and serve.
There are always a few cases of true conscientious objection, but one has to hunt on an individual level and get past the fakirs to find them.
"The battlefield is the United States of America."
One of the things statist's love is this elevation of their importance. Those functionaries not 'in' on any agenda (if one assumes an agenda, which often I do) will go along because it enhances their sense of power.
True story. Shortly after 9/11 some dweeb on our large construction worksite wrote something on a shithouse wall that looked like some kind of specific threat to attack the site. We held a jobsite meeting of maybe 150+ guys and the head of security (whose main job was to keep vandals and tweekers out at night) and a big, fat donut eatin' SOB besides, starts the meeting with a serious look "Gentlemen, we are at war...." I kid you not. Suddenly, He was more important than all the guys who actually build the damn thing.
And politicians wonder why we disdain them?
Thanks for the story.
I know the type. Used to hang out with a guy who thought 'Muslim terrorists are behind every corner'. His eyes would bug out and he'd get so excited spit would come from his mouth while he ranted. I presented all sorts of information on the history of the use of various Muslim factions going back to the British playing of The Great Game of global power and divide & conquer. Showed him mainsream news reports on US support for Al Qaeda in Syria. That would totally lock up what little brain he had - it just didnt match his conditioning. He got a supervisor job with some company providing 'security' at concerts; then his chest really would puff out. I wouldnt be surprised if his company told him they are all a part of the security of the homeland. Got all his 'information' from Limbarugh and Hannity. Talked about the Tea Party and Consitution, but was pefectly fine with trashing the Constitution to 'get the terrorists'. What a dangerous moron.
I know the type. Used to hang out with a guy in NWFP who thought 'Merican terrorists are behind every corner'. His eyes would bug out and he'd get so excited spit would come from his mouth while he ranted. I presented all sorts of information on the history of the use of various American factions going back to...
It cuts both ways. A society needs reasoned policies which balance individual rights and mob/group desires, and politicians strong enough to speak out about the difference.
The Paki in Pakistan was much also better with an AK-47, RPG, and explosives, than his chest puffing expat bar-bouncing extended cousins that I also knew and were living in the US, but then, so am I, even if I prefer the SIG or AR-15 platform. There are no easy answers.

This is pure bullshit. I think it's far cheaper and quicker by taking EBT cards away to enforce conformity.
No, no; $100 credit on your EBT card for every firearm turned in, and $1.00 for every round of ammunition.
$250 credit to your EBT card for reporting "suspicious activity" such as someone talking about "Sovereign Man", buying Gold and Silver, or talking about "changing things".
Oh they won't do that. I was thinking . . .this food stamp recruiting effort is kind of like a Democratic party membership drive.
An empire in decline is not a pretty sight.
*broken record* Rome Is Burning ...waiting for it to end.
...and fuck McCain.
They may deserve McCain in Arizona, but I'm not sure the rest of the country does.
Anyone down here in Arizona that i hang with can`t stand McCain. I sure as hell don`t deserve him.Bad pilot and a worse politician! I`ve called his office umpteen times to bitch and the staff has no clue.

When a government declares the battlefield is the nation at large, the enemy can only be the people.

I can hold for some time. Wasn't that the point in the first place?
Don't forget water.
Seriously. #1
++ for common sense.
I know it is fiction (The Road) but the first thing the protaganist did when things were going to shit was to fill up the bathtub with water.
This is Minnesota where I am reporting from. Excess water is usually a problem for us in this part of the world. Not hard to find water in this swamp.
You forgot family. A few years ago I read someone's account of the siege of sarajevo. I wish I bookmarked it. Takeaway was that those with large immediate or extended family did best.
Probably you read Selco's story.

The battlefield is worldwide. There is no safe place to go as Cyprus has shown us. TPTB will be confiscating wealth no matter where you hide. There is only one way to settle this and it's not by running off to another country.
Just don't spend money, see I solved it.
10 years ago, I almost moved to New Zealand. I know now it wouldn't have mattered.
If Americans haven't done anything by now, when they have had the strength and ability to do so, they will never do anything. Especially the "PM, Food & Gun" crowd that posts in these threads frequently that talk about how prepped they are. Message to them, the government prefer you stay where you are playing "Keyboard Kommando" telling us what you "would" do on ZH.
No, we all wasted the opportunity, and now it's too late. Enjoy the plutocracy/kleptocracy.

You got that right Doc. Stand you're fucking ground! everywhere and always.
John McCain... Got into Naval Academy because his father and grandfather were Admirals. By all accounts, not such a good pilot. Gets shot down, spends a loooong time in custody... Wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. When he is out of office finally, I will open a good bottle of single malt, and toast his good riddance.
McCain was turned as a POW and has been a Soviet ( yes I know they are supposed to have gone away) sleeper agent and almost, almost succeeded in getting into a position where he could really and truly sell his country down the river. and if anyone thinks it isn't possible for a US Senator to be an enemy agent, read a little history.
You mean like Senator Obama?
Manchurian Candidate...
I thought he was the Indonesian Candidate. AFAIK, that's the only real legal citizenship he has. He renounced all his other citizenship(s) (via his mother since he was her minor child) when he was legally adopted by her second (Indonesian) husband.
+100
Name another Soviet agent who almost sunk a US Navy aircraft carrier. Name anyone else besides the Japanese Imperial Navy who almost sunk an aircraft carrier. No on in the navy ever did something that incredibly stupid. So stupid that you have to wonder......
Was this evil jerk an agent before Vietnam? He loves the defense and war industry. Wants to ban vitamins because he is a pharma stooge as well.
Some ppl would beg to differ and claim that some foreign powers use their Special Interest Groups to 'turn' our politicians. Includes but is not limited to AIPAC and GS.
I am offering Space Shuttle Door Gunner Positions, port and starboard, thru my contract employment service.
You can lay waste to all the zombies and aliens your little minigun unlimited, ammo feeding stomach can handle.
The position requires no experience (OJT available), no background check, no application process.
Just PayPal 10 ozs AU to LmoMutton@SSdrgunr.com. I will see that you get on the waiting list if you are not chosen in the first draft. ALL ozs spectrographed for authenticity so no funny biz.
I posit here that the message that we are about to painfully [and gratefully]receive is:
All types of governments, bureaucracies, state sponsered commercial and investment banking aand financial services and elite political partys' are damaging and a priori dysfunctional, while breeding into the aforesaid, corruptive cultures and practices that in turn necessitate wars, theft, murder, genocide, and ruined societys' to maintain nthe staus quo of a non-scientific based society; that is, a faith based cult in an environment of collectives vs. collectives and individualism is shunned.
To oppose such corrupt states of societal being, one runs the hugh risk of death, torture, incarceration and worse; ruin and loss of family; forced decoupling from one's milieu. The safe preference and the normal course is to join the thing called elite government and emulate those that call them "leadership" and pilfer the coffers of the public. All the while introducing Laws that protect this recursive scamming and looting [of the public which seriously inhibits a free flow of individual contributions to the society and creates (yes, 'creates') a priori, cyclic destruction of society.
The message: Create a society founded in the sciences, dump ideologies and their faith based necessity for "priests", rabbi and mulllah; the politicians, bureaucrats, bankers; the whole lot of these parasites.
Can this be achieved? Indeed but only if we find the will. A total burn on a global basis, will stimulate this will. And, don't hold your breathe but it comes.
Ho hum
You want a society founded in the sciences? Whose science? That of the global warming advocates? That of the environmentalist whackos? That of the eugenicists? Yeah, let's let some scientist decide if your genes are suitable for reproduction. Let's let some scientist decide if you can drive a car powered by gasoline, or use an old-fashioned light bulb. Let's let some scientist decide if you can use your own property as you sed fit, rather than conforming to some community model.
Jerk!
For the record and perhaps clarification:
I consider all that you mention as part of the elite that rules today, and are a major part of the problem;
As science, I refer to applied intellect with integrity in objectivity. It does exist.
My statement suggests that No man should be or Need be trusted! While Risk should be allowed to enhance unimpeded (where 'risk' is computable uncertainty). Where there is no risk, denial rules supreme!
We need to get Power and Corrupted Powqer completely out of our pockets, affairs and faces.
Ho hum
A society based on pure science? I'll pass.

Personally I can't say I approve, as there's no T&A in it for me. Kirk out.

Just watched 5 minutes -- looks good. Reminds me of the The Century of the Self.
I think the battleground WILL be the United States, once Joe Public loses everything.
The war will be between the elitist, thieving scumbags and their victims.
Unfortunately for the elitists, they are hugely outnumbered.
Tarring and feathering is too good for these arseholes.
Sooner the better.
Odd Point: Somebody commented that the cops, guard, local authority "were walking back and forth" at Sandy Hook. They made the same observation at the Boston Bombing. Some have implied that the "meme" is to implant the presence of heavy military occupation in our cities; to make it acceptable, to prepare us. Could it be this meme: show overwhelming numerical dominance, to instill fear and belief in overwhelming force. IT'S BECAUSE YOU ARE CORRECT! They are, and should be, afraid of us. It would be better if the powers that be would take strength from its poplulace. They wont because they know they've fucked up and are continuing to do so, they're doubling down on a bad bet. We can forgive a lot. We're not the enemy. The blood bath doesn't have to happen.
Hmmm.johns Wife sucking cock by the pool.

When things are clearly on the decline, rather than INCREASING freedom and opportunity, they try to control EVERYTHING.

Bernanke and Krugman have PhDs...
That science shit is working fine, no?

A Deduction utilizing the Grammarian structure and syntax:
"Economics and Terrorism as 'Nouns', stem from the same roots as their arising 'Verb'; this is clearly identifiable as a strict adherence to literal and totally erroneous biblical law [superstition]."

I might add that a PhD today, is about as representive of scientific accomplishment as a Nobel Peace Prize.
Ho hum
It is called scientific socialism in Britain, and it is ruthlessly promoted under nicey names in the USA by the Trilateral Commission, using the Bilderberg Group as a marketing tool to cajole or coerce 'movers and shakers' into their fascist agenda.
Privately owned central banks = corporatism; a fascist state, total control by big government allied to biggest companies.
That's given the new nicey name of globalism, and interventionist wars for 'humanitarian' reasons, promoted by both Democraps and Repugnants.
Debt doesn't matter if you are willing to liquidate it.
The problem is , the system is not allowing debt liquidation.

Senator, why don't you pass the time by playing a little solitaire?

I think anyone who believes that the United States can simply collapse and there not be total bedlum globally is insane. Knives will come out and nukes will fly. This will not be a simple transition.
I hate getting "The Boot." Makes me feel so....unwanted.
Thinking that McCain needs to clarify who are on the two opposing sides of the war. Is is government against the people?
It's freedom loving Americans against those who hate them for their Freedom Fries.
The USA is a battlefield in the minds of failed warmongers like McCain the overpaid career politician, and other Nazionists who never tire of war, so long as the blood and treasure of someone else pays for it.
And also: fair points, Simon. However, the USA has survived worse than its present clear and imminent dangers. As you say, adaptability is a timeless asset for individuals. I'm reminded of an old Chinese belief: the people survived in spite of their government...and the Chinese are the world's oldest continuous civilisation, so I'm inclined to like their long term thinking.
Buying physical gold, silver, land. Staying close to family and genuine community. These things have stood the test of time, and history is written by the victors.
They hate us for our Freedom.
"They" is not muslims.
McCain has lost complete control of his faculties. Arizonians need to hand him his walking papers.
... Before he also loses control of his bodily functions.
McCain's a douche. I would trade him back to Vietman for a Large #15 Pho noodle and spring roll. The meal is so much more useful than that big mouth baby killer.
The èpoque.
A remarcable piece.

Good to understand our own role in this global awful shit we're living into.
Yes, it appears that the US is replicating Bolshevik Russia under Lenin as well as Nazi Germany under Hitler. Chris Hedges has become a remarkable writer and speaker but one gets the impression that nobody wants to hear his message; it has all happened before and comes now both to the US and the EU.

Denial is a self imposed disease borne out of a State run by an elite political "leadership" that promises your security without Risk and are believed by those that are the targetted victims.

Skill testing Q: What Neocon, US Elder Statesman is old enough to have vividly remembered both the Bolsheviks and the Nazis, and to receive PDBs (Presidential Daily Briefings)? And was fond of making NWO comments?

I loved it! And agreed.

P.S. you make Tyranasourous Rex look like he has long arms.
Aren't all Paupers Penniless?
Just because he can't raise his arms over his head doesn't mean he can't surrender like a coward to the angry masses a second time
You know how you get shitheads like McCain to shut the fuck up? You tell him that he can't pass any more laws...period. Then what could he do? He'd essentially be like a neutered, declawed cat.
If the United States is a battlefield then we should ALL be armed to the teeth! AR 15's,,,check. Grenades,,,check. Tanks,,,check! Rocket launchers,,,check! Tons of ammo,,,check! Tar and feathers for the traders in congress and the shitehouse,,,double check!
Mc Cain the battle is in America now shoot yourself and get it overwith.
I shall start a new band called the "Dead McCains" and we shall play awful, horrible music every day, always singing flat.
Israel must have cities AND streets and schools named McCain as reward for his daddy who was then a judge (IIRC) who allowed Israel to walk scott free for the cold blooded murder of about 50 US sailors on the USS Liberty.
McCain is one demonic SOB.
McCain... sounds like he'd be familiar with:
Debility (No universal healthcare)
Dependency (EBT)
Dread (MSM)
The battle-field is your collective unconscious.
The US does not have to be a battle firld ,we can shut down all muslim immigration anytime and all student visas. We can also deport any muslim that jaywalks or goes to a muslim internet site. We can and we should.

How did they do it?
I couldn’t help thinking “Oh, you ARE masterful aren’t you, managing with no more resources than the army, SWAT teams, marines, an assortment of helicopters, the FBI and the entire population of Boston to track down a lunatic covered in blood who’d been shot through the neck and was wriggling about in a boat in someone’s garden. I wonder who you’ll meet in the SECOND round of the World Hide and Seek championships.”
Black, how's that Resilient Community thingy coming along? WIP, or all pre-sold to rich friends or what?
Let's get practical... How many zeroes required, if Chile is so much cheaper? Chilean Doomsday retreat at US prices, or how do you manage supply, demand and prices?
Simple, normal questions, w/o agenda. A posting on your might help.
If the morons in AZ had not re-elected this maniac, there would be no battlefield USA.
Fuck you McPain.
Thoise Commies manchurianized your ass in Hanoi and sent you back to screw us.
The other thing that history shows us, however, is that there are always a handful of people who see the writing on the wall and take action. And that action has almost universally involved looking abroad and diversifying internationally.

The Bush administration created NSEERS, the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System. NSEERS stopped at least 330 known foreign criminals and three known terrorists who had attempted to come into the country at certain official ports of entry.
When the Obama administration took over, as Kentucky GOP Sen. Rand Paul pointed out this week, it indefinitely suspended the NSEERS pilot program and has no plans to revive it in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings.
0 successful terrorist attacks after 9/11 under Bush
5 successful terrorist attacks in 4 eyars under obama

NSEERS stopped at least 330 known foreign criminals and three known terrorists who had attempted to come into the country at certain official ports of entry.
PLEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!
9/11 WAS a false flag attack.
The "terrorists" attacks under Obama's administrations seem to be false flag attacks too.
Boston is.
So about the "terrorists" who ad attempet to come into the country...
1) How do they identify "terrorists"? As they did with poor kid Tsarnaev? The poor guys in GTMO?
2) Deal with the INSIDE terrorists who are part of the Administration, first.
3) Worst terrorists are already INTO the US. Most of them were born in the US.
How do you call governments who invade countries and assasinate other presidents based upon lies?
P.S.: Please, don't insult, argue with facts and coherency.
I remember reading about Americans raising hell over a tiny tax increase. They would protest, march and demand fairness....now you cant get them off their couch!
