Guest Post: Real Americans Are Ready To Snap

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Brandon Smith of Alt-Market blog,

Despite popular belief, every culture of every nation draws a line in the sand against government tyranny. The problem is, many draw this line so close to total defeat that it rarely matters. For the Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto, for instance, it wasn't until the Germans had already herded millions onto railroad cars destined for death camps and cornered the rest into dilapidated central housing that the ZOB resistance was formed, only to be wiped out a month later. Perhaps hindsight is 20/20, but clearly too many freedom movements throughout history waited too long to respond to the trespasses of oligarchs.

The Founding Fathers frequently struggled with the proper measure of resistance. Many colonials wanted vengeance on the British after the Boston Massacre in March of 1770, but patriots knew that the timing was not right. The battle to rally citizens to the cause and to educate the masses as much as possible on the facts took precedence over the desire to enter conflict. The Founders endured five more years of British government criminality until nearly 80 farmers and militiamen stood outnumbered on Lexington Green on April 19th, 1775 to confront an army of 700 British regulars on a mission to capture rebel leaders and destroy weapons caches. No one knew at the time that the war would be sparked that day, but everyone knew that a fight was inevitable and near.

I believe the same feeling hangs in the air of modern America for REAL Americans, and by “real”, I mean those who actually support and defend the constitutional values and principles that lay at the foundation of our society. We sense that something is coming; a great change, or an unstoppable reckoning.

The question of when to strike back is pivotal to any resistance movement. Turn to violence too soon or without proper cause in the eyes of the public, and the rebellion may lose the moral high ground and the support of the populace. Wait too long, and the totalitarian hordes may be too far entrenched, forcing the rebellion to fight from a position of strategic weakness.

There are those who might argue that America crossed the “red line” long ago and now our society is simply rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic while arguing over futile semantics. In certain respects, I can see their point. The U.S. political system is utterly lost. Anyone who still has faith in the Left/Right paradigm after two terms of George W. Bush and nearly two terms of Barack Obama is either insane, or mentally challenged. It should be obvious to Republicans and Democrats alike that our government does NOT represent the average man, and our election process is a sham. Democrats in particular should be equally furious and ashamed as the candidate they blindly worshiped to the point of cultism has now forsaken every value they thought he represented.

The legal apparatus of the U.S. is also beyond repair. Those in the mainstream who argue that grievances with government should be addressed by the courts instead of independent action obviously have not considered that the courts continuously uphold and defend legislation like that contained within the NDAA, which allows for rendition, torture, and even assassination of American citizens without trial or due process. And where are the prosecutions of Constitutional violations by the NSA? Why aren't men like James Clapper in prison for lying directly to Congress. Why hasn't Eric Holder been slapped in irons for his involvement with “Fast and Furious”? And what about the international financiers who back these politicians? How many of them have been prosecuted for their involvement in the toxic derivatives scandals that are destroying our economy to this day?

No, we lost the courts a long time ago. They will do nothing to save this country. But is the fight already over? I think not.

Nihilism is tempting for those people who are lazy and frightened and looking for a philosophical excuse to run away from making a stand. Claiming the fight is lost before it has truly begun is a longstanding tradition amongst millions upon millions of cowards through history. Every freedom fighter in every great revolution for liberty has heard the same arguments that we hear today – “It's too late to change things. The enemy is too powerful and you will be crushed. The nail that sticks up will eventually be hammered down. Your movement is a minority on the fringe and no one will support you. None of you have the guts to really follow through...”

While there is certainly much to despair in the state of our nation, I find the notion that Americans will do nothing in response misplaced and ignorant. From what I have observed, it is not a question of “if” citizens snap, but when.

With objective eyes one could easily see it during the last attempts by the federal government to pass anti-gun legislation that would have led to confiscation. Pro-2nd Amendment protests erupted all over the country (though the MSM mostly ignored them) with participants far outnumbering the miniscule groups in support of gun control. The sentiment amongst millions of gun owners and millions of Liberty Movement proponents was that we were not going to allow government enforcement of new gun laws. Period. If that meant we had to start using those same guns to put an end to government, then that was exactly what we would do. The feds, of course, buckled.

Rather than take the more dangerous and unifying direct route of federal legislation, gun grabbers have shifted strategies, isolating and targeting specific states they believe will be more pliable and easier to conquer. Connecticut and parts of New York, however, have shown that even people in the most socialist of states have no intention of complying with gun registration or confiscation. In Connecticut, only 38,000 high capacity magazines were registered according to the new gun laws, while approximately 2.4 million purchased through retail remain unaccounted for. Only 50,000 “assault weapons” were registered, while at least 300,000 remain unaccounted for. A sizable number of police are also refusing to enforce registration measures (some out of constitutional loyalty, and some out of a desire for self preservation), causing the state of Connecticut to back off of its hard line rhetoric.

I can say with full confidence that the conditions within Connecticut alone would lead to an open shooting war if officials actually attempt to enforce registration and confiscation. If Safe Act-style legislation or executive orders are ever enforced at a national level, I have no doubt revolution would follow.

The latest hotbed I have witnessed is the Bureau of Land Management attack on a cattle farmer in Clark County, Nevada owned by Cliven Bundy. The BLM has so far stolen over 500 cattle from Bundy on the grounds that the federal government owns the land his family has been using for grazing pasture for generations. The confiscation was implemented under the auspices of “protection for endangered species”. The species in this instance being a desert tortoise.

The methods used by the BLM resemble a militant raid, with hundreds of agents, helicopters, and even snipers at their disposal. Adding insult to injury and making the issue a national concern, the feds have also staged “First Amendment Zones” miles away from their activities to keep protestors away.

This may seem like a minor event, a tiff over cattle grazing or possibly property rights, but there is much more going on here.

Tyranny leaves lasting scars, and each tyrannical act results in an accumulation of wounds on the public psyche that do not heal. In the end, a single event can become a trigger to unleash a torrent of rage pent up in a population for years or decades. The fight for Cliven Bundy's farm has the potential to become such a trigger.

So far, federal abuses have been primarily toward Bundy's cattle, with confiscation ongoing and suspicions that a number of the cows are being killed. Here, protestors try to stop a truck from leaving the area which they believed might be carrying dead animals. Agents respond with dogs and tasers.

However, I believe that if this situation escalates into a Waco or Ruby Ridge brand of event, not only Liberty Movement residents of Nevada, but Liberty Movement champions across the nation will indeed finally throw down the gauntlet. What does that mean? It means they are going to start shooting.  Opposing groups can debate whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, but the reality is that one way or another, it is going to happen.

Discussions within the movement are far from apathetic. Hundreds of thousands if not millions of eyes are watching every move of the BLM right now, and they should be taking this fact very seriously.

The naysayers will claim that we don't have the will to take action. They are welcome to think whatever they like. But mark my words, Constitutionally minded Americans are not going to stand by and watch another massacre, nor a loss of gun rights, nor will we be entertaining violations of our freedoms for much longer. This society is on the edge of something. It's kinetic, or electric. It is not yet quite visible but it is there, reverberating in the atmosphere. My suggestion to our federal bureaucracy would be to do what they did during the gun debate, and quickly back away.

Of course, we all know they won't.

Do the elites want to stir up insurgency in order to give pretense for a larger crackdown? They very well might. But it is transparent in the way they try to mitigate dissent and offer placation that they do not want a rebellion larger than they can manage. I think it is far too late for that. I think they've pissed off too many people, instead of just enough people. I think that though most pretend-Americans will do nothing but watch in horror or hide in their hovels, the size of resistance to the tides of despotism is growing far beyond common realizations. And, when this resistance erupts, it will shock even those who fully expect it.

the 2014 and 2016 US elections are going to be key... 2014 in particular given how many state governor seats are up for election... this ties into the Article V process...

I know how everyone here likes to say that voting is useless... if I may quote Ghandi in this case... "Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it."

if you're a US citizen and you come to ZH to bitch and moan while declining to vote, you have no one to blame but yourself... quit bitching about your rights and start exercising them

I propose a truce, this argument is reminding me far too much of the vitriolic non sense in a politico comment board. While you are still a troll, I will acknowledge your membership here for over 4 years and commend you for at least being intelligent enough as a "non-right winger" to read zero hedge in the first place. That is an important step to your eventual recovery. Also, I will award you a single "up vote" as a gesture of good will. Trade on my friend. Also, do you have any non public insider information that any of us could potentially use this week?

the united states is long overdue for some major constitutional reform.  

the problem is that there is no credible political force of greens / left wing / socialists in the states.

christian fundies, greedy capitalists, sociopaths, rightwing conservative nutjobs and the oversized, materialistic american consumer have quite a lock on the current system.  

sorry for the harsh words, but it must be noted.

The left lying with a straight face for 100 years, the problem is you most likely believe this garbage. Fed to you like pablum to a baby, any actual investigatory effort discouraged with PC rectitude. 

No, the problem is exactly opposite, no organized set of pissed off Americans with a clear plan for after the mayhem.  So lets all pray they don't go off as the results are completely unpredictable and I have no desire to witness the excesses of an American Robespierre. Lets all stay calm, stop voting, withdraw support, minimize activity whenever and wherever you can, banking, taxation etc..

Search a combination of these keywords and they will tell you that there is little hope anything will ever change. The powers you try to fight are invisible. You can only fight the heavily armed sheeple in uniform that they control. The invisible power will not lose a drop of blood nor a single dollar/EURO of their wealth. 

Even when you would win the fight on the ground and a purge of government would take place, the new government would have their people in their ranks and they would use the same tactics again to successfully gain control again over all important government roles.  You can never win a fight against the invisible.

An honest man cannot win a fight against real psychopaths that have no conscious and no moral, history is the best prove of that. Even when you think "the good guys" have won, soon it appears they were not so good as was propagated..

I am not happy with this conclusion, but I am afraid it is a reality. The fight will never end, the only way the fight could end forever is when they will have total victory and rule with harsh dictatorship by means of total control trough technology (robots, spying, drones, infiltration, dead penalties for dissidents). Once the apparatus is completed there will be no way out.

Never before in history there was so much technology available that could support an everlasting perfect dictatorship. The centralization of government is the greatest danger to freedom, even a well meaning central government is a danger, since it is a central point of failure, if this falls into the wrong hands (which history has shown so many times) it has no opposition. When government is decentralized and one state would turn bad and starts killing their own citizens, the other states would quickly respond. With one central government, there is no entity to respond.

So I am afraid that one world government will be a reality soon.

Every young adult that thinks about having children must think of the dystopia they will likely have to live in.

 

The only way out is to demand total financial transparency from all government, meaning every dollar that comes in or goes out has to be traceable by every citizen. Every pencil that is bought has to be registered in a public webbased accountancy system so everyone can follow the money. that would be the only way to detect foul play and corruption.

Secondly, everybody that has a key position job working for government or being in government themselves would have to have their family tree published online as well, that way nepotism becomes a lot more visible.

The technology to do this exists, so there is no excuse for not implementing such policies other than the resistance from people benefiting the lack of transparency that there is now.

what % of your income goes towards federal, state, municipal tax as well as unemployment and health care insurance?  if < 50%, then you should stop bitching. if > 50%, then enjoy your surroundings or relocate somewhere else.

tl;dr

.gov is a symptom of american politics, society and culture.  and that's not the trinity you would want to revere.

Just because you (or anyone for that matter) accept being stepped harder on doesn't mean we should tolerate it when it happens to us.  The true evil in the world is people who let things be done in their name and take no responsibility.  Well that has been going on a long time in the west but mostly out of sight and out of mind.  Now these past 15 years or so people have been waking up to the evil things done to other people around the world.  Some of us even recognize that the tormenters have turned inward.  The veil of ignorance is being lifted.

We aren't asking for .gov to go conquer more oil so we can live easy.  We are demanding .gov stop stepping on people like they are stupid disposable things of convenience.  Anyone who wants .gov to step on people so their life can be easier is a just a coward who approves of thuggery and thievery to satisfy their greed, laziness, and jealousy.

Ultimately you want .gov to take from me and step on me.  I must find it in myself to forgive you but that might not happen today.  Regardless, I will not submit.  You cannot convince me.  You will have to kill me.  We all know you are not up to it.  .gov will have to do it for you but you will still be behind it. 

That is reality.  You would be a murderer.

you don't have to preach to me, i get it and have accepted it already.

i don't see .gov going away.  every time it has failed throughout human history, it comes back in some form or another. .gov can be a mechanism for a proper redistribution of resources towards projects/services that improve quality of life for all - not only the elite. 

problem i see in the american heart, as a whole, is the selfishness in satisfying extreme, individual desires that don't take account for the effects on other human beings + nature.  i'm optimistic that this will change for the better.

You have to be joking. The EPA is nothing but Greens. The University systems are packed with your cohorts and they have the bead on everyone that gets a chance at political power first. You are not making office if you did not go to the right shcools or know the right people in the media. All of those are ran by the leftists and the socialists.

 

So the fault is not that there are no creditable ones, moreso that none of them are honest or creditable because of the philosophy they represent. So there is plenty of honest and accurate representation by those groups, it's just that you can't tolerate the truth, that those ideas are the ones causing the problems in the first place. This collectivism garbage is what is causing the problem in the first place. .

No.  But then, the "rightwing nutjobs" aren't the ones that will need rescuing, either.  All of the left's power...ALL of it...is lodged firmly in the apparatus of the state.  And that state's power is maintained in every way that matters by the military.  Which is staffed nearly entirely by "rightwing nutjobs".

Out in the world, leftists uniformly seem to scorn guns, while the right is pretty well stocked up.

So who is it that may need rescuing?  And do the French have the stones to rescue ANYBODY from ANYTHING anymore?  Does anyone else in the world?  Maybe the Russians or Chinese...but they likely would just be happy that the Americans were otherwise occupied and out of their hair for a while.

I don't know if I'm a "rightwing nutjob" (probably a "leftwing nutjob" would call me one), but I'm for damned sure not a leftwing one.  I'm kind of apathetic toward extreme rightists while sharing a few of their views but I hate the left like poison.  They just SUCK, period.  Anything they get isn't bad enough for what they've done.

I'm afraid I have slowly and begrudgingly come to agree with that sentiment.

Back in the early 1900s, speculator Jay Gould stated that he could hire 50% of the workers (in America) to murder the other 50%.

Today, I suspect he could hire 85% to 90% to kill the remaining honest and sane 10%!

It really is that bad, just look at the recent union votes and Boeing, and Boeing responds (they gave in to Boeing's demands to kill their pensions eventually) by relocating engineering jobs, and it was the stoopid business union of the engineers who acquiesced.

Just look at the so-called recall vote in Wisconsin:  the first time 40% of union households vote for anti-worker, anti-union

@sgt_doom:

You are correct. For absolute proof rather than idel speculation I refer to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico. 

Dauphin Island, Alabama was a staging area for BP. They shipped equipment, supplies and personnel to Dauphin Island for deployment to the spill area. 

I grew up in Mobile, Alabama; just up the road. At the time I was a property owner on Dauphin Island. I spent my childhood there. There was a one room school house on the island where a single teacher taught all grades in a single room. 

BP decided that they did not want anyone taking pictures or documentin what equipment they delivered and when they delivered it. They ere afraid people would learn about their slow reaction to the crisis. 

The following things happened, I witnessed them personally:

The local environmentalists who had been anti-oil suddenly fell silent. It was later learned that BP contributed millions of dollars to their "research projects" that funded their work for years - alleviating them from having to secure grants to fund their paychecks. 

The local police department received huge grants from BP allowing them to buy body armor, night vision and new cars. The police department turned a blind eye to all things done by BP. 

The kicker was BP hiring unemployed workers from Maine to work sa security guards. They stood in public streets and threatened locals with arrest if they dared take pictures of the BP supplies being offloaded. 

On further questioning and and outright challenges - they admiited they were not police and in fact they did not know who they worked for.

They were being paid $12 an hour to stand in the road a thousand miles from home and threaten people. 

This is fact. I witnessed it. 

We are going to have to kill fellow Americans. Period. They are willing to get on a bus, sleep in a dormitory and stand in the street for $12 an hour.

Thanks for bring this back in focus to the sibject matter. A man I have met recently introduced me into the concept of "The Peoples" COMMON LAW GRAND JURY. I was interested in something in this line and instead of mumbling in my beer and doing nothing about it, I seen a chance to maybe become useful in this concept.

Where did it come from?? From a Supreme Court Justice majority decision, believe it or not. "In a stunning 6-3 decision Justice Anthonin Scalia, writing for the majority confirmed "that the American Grand Jury is neither part of the Judicial, Executive or Legislative branches of the government belongs to the people. It is in effect (a) the fourth branch of government"governed" and administrated to directly by and on behalf of the American people, and its authority emenates from the Bill fo Rights>

I wiil tey and address this issue in the coming days and weeks. The man i spoke of earlier, Stave left Colorado tonight to drive all night to try and help negociate some manner of settlemwnt befor the possible arrival of many Texas and Montana Militia show up in Mesquite, Nv. to back the Bundys up. This could blow up or maybe become another Waco.

I've genuinely been peppered sprayed, beaten and arrested for speaking my mind, I have literally had people spit in my face for spelling out what our crooked kleptocracy and all powerful corporate interface mean for our long term prospects. I've paid dearly for my actions. My criminal record alone has FUCKED MY LIFE. So please spare me the "what have you done" speech. Heard it too many times from people who have never lifted a finger in defense of our liberty. Fact is I NEVER once witnessed another Real American put his ass on the line when the batons started falling. Not once. In fact a good number of them cheered on the very people they now profess to hate. They may have even agreed with what I was doing but it was always "oh no, that's not for me". So with all due respect most Americans are pussies and can go fuck themselves. Harsh but fair. Just a little color so you know where I'm really coming from. Yeah we're cool.....

As regards the current gunfight at the NOT OK Corral, Drudge posted a link to an Infowars post on Harry Reid's family involvement in a Chinese takeover of the family farm, after arranging a below market deal for them for state land (http://www.infowars.com/breaking-sen-harry-reid-behind-blm-land-grab-of-...). Others interviewed have said similar things. 

In normal times, that alone, if proven, would get Reid a term in Federal prison, along with his son.   The takeaway is that the farm is hugely valuable, even to those not currently considered potential enemies, of the primary nuclear sort, who are actually making life interesting at this moment with our lame Secretary of Defense (or were a day or so ago--I've been travelling).   The general takeaway is that this ranch is hugely valuable, and has been coveted by numerous entities for a very long time.  They have always been told to get lost, politely.  Cue the big dogs.

Need to get someone more credible than Alex Jones on it. Say...maybe Sharyl Atkisson.

This is what the Chinese govt does to farmers. They take there land.  This is a total setup.

Nevada senator Harry Reids son is the president of a shell corporation that is lined up to sell the land along the interstate north of Las Vegas that the Bundy ranch is on. The Nevada BLM Director is Harry Reids former chief aid. This entire thing stinks to the highest level of our government.

  The Bundy family started improving the land to sustain people and cattle in 1870, before the BLM was created. If they dont have property rights, none of us do.

“[Reid] and his oldest son, Rory, are both involved in an effort by a Chinese energy giant, ENN Energy Group, to build a $5 billion solar farm and panel manufacturing plant in the southern Nevada desert,” he wrote. “Reid has been one of the project’s most prominent advocates, helping recruit the company during a 2011 trip to China and applying his political muscle on behalf of the project in Nevada.”

If there is a link to Reid, deals with the Chinese, and the Bundy ranch and that makes it on Drudge, - - - the criminals are toast on this one.

How will they be toast?  The predators-that-be survive entire freaking world wars unscathed.  I mean, I'd love to believe you, but you must provide some logic or evidence to convince me.

My impression is, Harry Reid is untouchable (politically or legally), because he carries too much water for the predators-that-be.

Hard Assets - Right. Someone quick call the Justice Department. "Help Police!". In a land of lawlessness the citizens must become the police. They will but expect casualties.

And that solar farm will do more to send the desert tortoise to extinction than 500 years of this guy ranching the land.

Hell, Reid has probably ordered them to kill the rancher and his family.

These militia guys are looking at the pawns; they need to remove the Reidster.

Kill a few pawns and the Reidster will find that recruiting replacement talent ain't so easy.
