Internal War Is Now On The Horizon For America
Submitted by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.com,
If internationalists were to get their way fully with the world and future historians write their analysis from a globalist perspective of the defunct American nation, they will probably say simply that our collapse was brought about by our own incompetence - that we were our own worst enemy. Yes, they would treat America as a cliché. They will of course leave out the destructive influences and engineered disasters of elitists, that would just complicate the narrative.
My hope is that we do not prove these future historians correct, and that they won’t have an opportunity to exist. My work has always been designed to help ensure that resistance thrives, but also that it is pursued in the most intelligent manner possible.
As I write this, China’s stock market has crashed 7% and was shut down by Chinese authorities who are once again initiating outright intervention to stem the tide. U.S. markets are quickly tracking lower. Oil is plummeting.
Relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran have turned ugly, with Iranian protesters overtaking the Saudi embassy and both sides vowing vengeance. Many Americans won’t care much about this because they think it has nothing to do with them. They don’t realize that Saudi Arabia has already publicly suggested a depeg from the U.S. dollar, effectively ending the decades-long relationship between the greenback and oil. The Iranian event and U.S. ties to both nations only make the fall of the dollar’s petro-status more likely in the near term. With the U.S. in the middle, "taking a side" will be a demand. I believe the U.S. government will NOT take a side, and this will elicit a furious response from Saudi Arabia (a currency depeg).
The Obama Administration has just made introductory announcements on new gun control measures through executive order. These announcements were rather light on details and heavy on crocodile tears. Their vagueness is clearly deliberate. Psychological evaluations, redefining who is a lawful firearms dealer, "expanding" background checks; all of these measures could be interpreted broadly to mean almost anything. We will probably know more in the coming weeks.
And in Oregon over the weekend, Ammon Bundy and friends lured hundreds of protesters under false pretenses using the Hammond family tragedy as a vehicle to then initiate a takeover of federal buildings that have no strategic or symbolic value, boxing themselves into a static position and proclaiming themselves to be the “tip of the spear” in the fight against corrupt government. In the meantime, anyone who questions the validity of this idea or the logic behind the “plan” is immediately labeled a coward and “keyboard warrior” by their supporters. Emotionally manipulative arguments abound because there are no tactically rational arguments to be made, which tells me that the plan was doomed before it was implemented.
As I wrote in my article “Oregon standoff a terrible plan that we might be stuck with,” some people (not many but some) in the liberty movement are desperately clamoring for a fight; and they don’t care if the circumstances are intelligently executed or idiotically executed. They only care if it kicks off.
I openly supported and aided the efforts at Bundy Ranch because the ranchers were defending their home from clear federal aggression. The Feds were direct invaders in that scenario. In Oregon, protesters are being perceived as the invaders, not the defenders — and all launched in the name of the Hammond family, who asked them NOT to artificially create a standoff. The two scenarios are polar opposites, and Oregon will end in a very different fashion.
I would just like to note that the Founding Fathers were smart enough to avoid deliberately trapping themselves in static positions on land that had no strategic or symbolic importance while inviting the British to "come and get them". Again, there are right ways and wrong ways to fight tyranny. Simply being willing to fight is not enough.
Now, if Americans are going to create standoff situations that could result in civil war they should do it over draconian gun control measures such as the use of classified government watch lists as grounds for denial of 2nd Amendment rights, rather than using a family who did not want armed support to begin with as a means to an end.
Keep in mind that watch lists are entirely arbitrary. There is no due process involved whatsoever, meaning you or I could walk into a gun store one day only to have our 4473 form denied because some bureaucrat in an office in D.C. decided we said something he doesn’t like and belong on a naughty list. The changing of gun dealer laws could be used to erase gun shows and private sales of firearms as well.
A standoff scenario based on these issues would be a much more practical concept than what is taking place in Oregon.
As our situation in this country becomes more precarious, there are going to be far more flashpoints than anyone will be able to keep track of. It is inevitable that a fight between corrupt elements of the U.S. government and regular people will erupt. I and other analysts have been warning people about this for years. I have been educating people on their preparedness options and tactical resources. I have been promoting community preparedness teams in my work with Oath Keepers and helping to organize such teams in my own part of the country. I even designed the first working thermal evasion suit available to civilians to give people half a chance against advanced weaponry. I have no illusions that a peaceful solution exists. I know that there is no such solution at this point in the game. But when the fighting starts, I also know that those who navigate the storm intelligently rather than allowing their emotions to get the best of them are more likely to survive and succeed.
I cannot say how quickly a crisis will develop. But, I can outline some of the many pitfalls you are going to come across as this storm rises.
False Leadership And Irrational Leadership
You are going to stumble across numerous gung ho activists and even politicians who will claim they have the one and only solution, that they are the real “tip of the spear.” First, if you feel compelled to seek out leaders on the mere basis that they have offered to lead you, then you need to do some soul searching. Become your own leader first. And then, if you meet someone with an excellent plan and a principled motive, give him the time of day, but don’t jump blindly into any situation.
If his plan seems poorly thought out, don’t follow him. If his agenda revolves around his own ego and a desire for personal glory, don’t follow him. If he focuses completely on the Obama administration and ignores the complicity of Republican leadership, don’t follow him. If all he talks about are the evils of the federal government but he ignores the puppet strings that lead to international banks and globalist organizations, don’t follow him. If he refuses to allow his initiatives to be questioned or discussed in a reasonable way, do not follow him. If he acts as if his ideas are sacrosanct and questions your “patriotism” when you do not immediately jump on the bandwagon, do not follow him. Remember, it is the job of this leadership to CONVINCE YOU of the legitimacy of their plan if they are seeking your support. The burden of evidence is on them. It is not your job to support them blindly just because you want to avoid being called a "sunshine patriot".
To summarize, if you are going to follow someone, know him well first, and make sure his planning is solid.
Hotheads And Imbeciles
I’ve found that there are two very frustrating extremes within the liberty movement: the people who embrace pacifism and who refuse to even consider the possibility of a violent conflict and self-defense, and the people who have delusions of being the next George Washington and are ready to dive headlong into any violent confrontation without thinking because they want to cement their own legacy. Neither of these groups seems to be able to treat each event as unique: some events requiring a diplomatic approach and some of them requiring the violence of action.
The pacifists are annoying, but they mostly hurt themselves in their lack of preparedness and a warrior’s mindset. The hotheads are the real problem. If you are only looking for a fight, then one will certainly find you; but any moron can trigger a standoff with the Feds. The point is to be able to make a move that matters in the long run. Hotheads cannot think beyond themselves and their immediate needs. They are like mosquitoes mindlessly hunting for blood. Strategic planning is impossible for them and they will destroy allies in the process of their pursuits.
I hate to say it, but there is a distinct possibility that our current generation of freedom advocates and freedom fighters may not live to see the future we are working toward. That better world built on liberty, individualism and voluntary community is something our children will thrive in, not us. If you are not fighting with a long term strategy in mind, then you have missed the entire point.
Factions And Tribes
Humans in crisis events tend to become more tribal in their associations in order to survive, and this is not necessarily a bad thing. I would rather live in a tribal world than under centralized corrupt government or global government any day. That said, if a “tribe” or faction does not respect the rights of the individual or uses unprovoked violence to achieve its goals, then it is no better than any other tyranny. Never trade safety for tyranny, regardless of the difficulties ahead.
The upside is tyrants of small tribes are easier to deal with than tyrants of large nations. They are no more bulletproof than anyone else, and they don’t have the resources to prevent reprisal if they hurt the wrong people.
Expect that families, neighborhoods, towns, churches, gangs and activist groups will rally around each other as a way to provide security. If you do not already have friends and family on board with your way of thinking, you will be isolated, making survival far more difficult if a breakdown does occur.
Governments Will Not Disappear
I can think of very few scenarios in history in which a crisis or collapse immediately facilitated the fall of the government in power. Rather, the government usually morphs into something else, something more dangerous. In fact, crisis is often the prime excuse used by corrupt officials to rationalize greater controls on the population. This in turn acts as a catalyst for more rebellion, which in turn acts as a vindication of the government’s tyranny.
Does this mean people should not rebel against tyranny? No, it means that we have to fight smart and retain the moral high ground at all times. We must act in a way that exposes the true nature of corrupt government, rather than giving them more ammunition to shoot us down with in the public eye. Above all, if we fight we must fight TO WIN. This means not deliberately searching for an Alamo. Martyrs are ultimately useless in this kind of war because if we lose, no one will remember them anyway. Glory seekers and self-proclaimed prophets will only lead people to disaster.
Develop a tactical mindset because the future will require tactical minds. Maintain your principles no matter the threats ahead. Retain your humanity. But also, when the fight begins, fight with the intention of victory. Choose your ground wisely.

Surprise hit the British hard during the revolution. It also hit hard during the Japanese attack on Perl Harbor.
There are signs though.
One sector keeps being pushed. The British kept increasing tax. Trade sanctions for the Japanese.
Then, what appears suddenly...a lash back
Starbucks price rise?
What Pussy assed Commie Lib wrote this POS!?
The author could be a pussy assed commie lib,,I don't know.
Two things stick out.
He writes that "simply being willing to fight is not enough". Ok, that's fair, it's just as true that being unwilling to fight is not enough either. (and umm there are a lot more of the latter *emphasis on a lot)
Also he writes there are going to be so many of these flashpoints "we won't be able to keep track of" them. That's just a guess because right now there is only one.
There are more "flashpoints" than I can count. Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, China, Ukraine, Oregon, Gun Control, the fucking dollar...
Only one? You must be high.
Yes, only one. And no, not high.
Brandon's article centers around domestic resistance so your examples are not good.
No, it centers on crisis leading to resistance. All of my examples are situations that could trigger domestic crisis.
They could but so far have not. There aren't many situations where anybody stands up and when they do they get criticized. Waiting for the perfect reason to resist may never happen. That's my beef.
Where I live they took a lot of Christian Lebanese refugees. They were run out of their country after being there a LONG TIME by muslims.
Same will again happen to western nations , as time goes by the majority will be muslim.
Then the choice will come, convert, die, or leave.
Soon to happen in Netherlands, Belguim, Sweden.
Of course in USA now is a different problem. it's run by zionists who are crazy and need to be run out.
Yep. The Levant Christians were literally the first ones to actually become Christian. They've been there for 2000 years through conquests and persecution by Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Turks, Crusaders, More Arabs, more Turks, more Crusaders, yet more Arabs. Then, suddenly, and with little warning, were uprooted and gone. Change happens fast people. What was status quo today may be historical curiosity tomorrow.
Run out by Muslims funded by Israel, perhaps?
Christians in the ME are really pissed at Israel because Israel and allies are behind all of those groups. 1100 years they lived together, few problems after the Crusades, then Israel.
Sabotage from the inside should be on everyone's mind.

Oathkeepers....
oathkeeprs failed here, unless they know somethign we dont they should back the bundy bunch.
For what it is worth :

Is that what they know? That that 'leader' from the Bundy ranch episode is a Fed informant?
It makes sense if Ammon Bundy was indeed bamboozled by the others. Looking for signs of this in his videos would be an important clue.
But by the same token the guy who wrote this is the psy op himself, sowing division in the ranks. Hard to tell with agency work.
"It was stated, dare I say, TAUGHT to me today by a close friend who is an ex special forces operator"
By their logic there will never ever be a standoff, then what use is a militia in the face of injustice.
Yes, which is why that is the wrong way to go about replacing the government.
You don't need to coordinate with anyone to shut down airports, for example. Putting yourself in a position where you have to kill or can be killed is un-necessary.
If you want to start the process, go bang on a pan every night at 9 or 10 PM. When enough people do it, the action starts and there are no counters with force that can possibly be effective.
When air traffic stops, they have to surrender, the rest of the country won't let them continue in power.
Demdere - great find! + 100
Yeah, from where I'm sitting the Oathkeepers appear to be a mostly PR front for militarized cops and feds.
The Oathkeepers promise not to seize your guns during the next big catastrophe (a suicide mission) and that's great, but I don't see many cops and soldiers walking off the job in disgust over the unconstitutional sham that policing and soldiering has become.
I have a much different viewpoint on the Oathkeepers. Did you know they were present during the Ferguson riots, and kept people's shops from being burned and looted? Have you been to their website and read their articles, especially concerning this fiasco? They want nothing to do with this stupid gambit, and they publically state this, along with their reasons. Are you aware that they were present during the original Bundy ranch standoff last year, and turned away that couple that later killed cops in Nevada after interrogating them and deeming them untrustworthy?
From what I have read, and looking at their actual *deeds*, I see an organization that embraces the constitution and liberty. I see a LOT of former military within their ranks that have 'woken up' after spending time in Iraq and Afghanistan (and there are many videos of these guys on youtube talking about what they experienced, and how they wish to wake people up to those dirty wars). And I see an organization that goes out of its way to empower the individual, as opposed to the collective.
For those reasons, I stand with them - but I do NOT believe that this particular scenario is worthwhile, and I wish that these people would stand down. When the victims you are supposedly standing up for want nothing to do with you, then that should be the END. I pray that they see this, and leave.
I agree the bundy's current demands are rediculously high. But the case itself is right.
If there were more backers, say a couple of hundred with families, delta force would not dare to attack. Especially not when their own OK ex uncle sam merc buddies were the target.
Of course not and the 'War on Police' is completely fabricated. If anything, most states have passed additional protections, rights, and other procedures that go well beyond the Bill of Rights for ordinary citizens for law enforcement.
Some cops have a really tough job, the majority do a pretty good job and are professional, etc. The problem is that the police protect their own more so than almost any other profession including even outright criminals who committ felonies as long as they are wearing a badge. Ridiculous how difficult it is actually lose your badge if you are a police officer in most cases unless you literally are convicted and end up doing jail time.
Oath keepers? Paintball fags!
Another Controlled Opposition.
If they wind up supporting a military coup against Oboy, then I will agree that they are on the globalist bandwagon. But Brandon has been THE primary writer exposing Putin as part of the globalist movement, and his major predictions have pretty much come true so far, so I'm giving him a lot of rope at this point.
al sharpton: you better run fast and swim faster
He melted his weight away, he should be able to run a few hundred yards! Weight loss is due to not eating Popeye's Chi'cann 5 days a week like he use to.
Just started reading and have to say I love Brandon's style and attention to detail in writing. Definately one of the best ZH'ers.
The author's attack of the Hammonds is not backed up by the actual FACTS, which seem to be pretty unimportant to this author. The actual facts are outlined in a 2-part video, starting here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1JzuQf4DMU
Where the fuck did he "attack" the Hammonds?
Incompetent BLM bureaucrats branded ranchers "terrorists": Harney Co OR's US Rep explains at http://bit.ly/1ZdYI5H
BLM and Fish & Wildlife actively work to push people off their land. 80% of NV being Federal can be waved away by military and test site usages, both past and present, even though we know that Dingy Harry is a corrupticrat of the highest order. Having the Feds own over half of Oregon land is unconscionable, especially when you read the tactics they use to expand their reach further.
It's telling in how open discussions of imminent armed conflict with the US Government are. It used to be spoken of in terms of far-off hypotheticals should some scenario progress. Now it's more commonly phrased as an eventuality that has yet to be sparked. That is a meaningful change in the debate. Perpare accordingly. The USG has.
The Bundys have balls, and right now, patriots need to see some balls in action. The Bundys are NOT very intelligent in their timing or target, but a chessmaster usually moves a pawn to open a game. I expect we'll see a Bundy standoff here and there, but the real shit wont jump off until a state declares its sovereignty. My money's on Texas, with South Carolina a dark horse. When that happens, a handful of other states will jump as well, and it will be on like Donkey Kong from there.
No chance. The state governments are owned too; do you really believe otherwise? And if they did such a stupid thing, a very bloody example will be made.
I'm guessing you dont live in Texas or South Carolina and/or dont care to access the relevant information flows. Clues can be found in Nikki Haley's recent 'State-of-the-state' addresses. With Texas, just listen to the governor, and note how he responded to the White Housenigger's most recent efforts to grab guns plus his response to the announcement of Jade Helm activities in his state. More broadly, and easily verified, is the level of Statehouse nullfication efforts. Also, the number of lawsuits filed by the states against the Fedcoats.
A number (>20) of Statehouses have not been captured by the globofascistas. At the statehouse level, representative government still works fairly well in these states (numbering more than 20).
Stupid to secede? According to you. If some want Constitutional freedom and perceive they cant get it in the USSA, they will declare their independence. It is the logical 'Door #3' option to going deeper into membership in the global corpocrisy. Know this, though, when it happens, there is a high probability shitizens of Lying Left big cities will come to empathize with citizens of Derry during the Troubles.
Yeah watch them roll over like little bitches when threatened with federal funding cuts. Secede? Please. They'd get steamrollered anyway. Either state would be reduced to powdered rubble if they tried such a thing a I guarantee they know it.
Basically they talk big to play to their base, and file lawsuits that don't have a prayer. Theater. And yes secession is stupid because they would lose.
George III, is that you?!?
Do you think for one second that Putin would decline to send whatever he could to Charleston/Galveston in the event of a credible request?
Hell, I bet half the Middle East would line up to get a piece of some feminized 'progressive' man-ass.
You simply refuse to acknowlege that if as few as 6 million semi-organized citzens said 'Peace out', it's over for the USSA.
But go ahead and talk shit. I used to do that a lot in NYC.
You need to figure out where the military bases are. Say Texas secedes. How much armor is held at Ft. Hood? Kansas? McConnell Air Force Base... so much for air force refueling. Missouri? Whiteman Air Force Base... stealth bombers.
Care to rethink this statement?
> state would be reduced to powdered rubble and they know it.
Standard Disclaimer: Those 3 states alone could wreak havoc on the rest. Unless in some wild fantasy you think they are going to turn over the hardware to Washington, D.C.
The old principles still hold true. Gotta have a port. TX, LA, MS, AL, GA, FL, SC, NC. Those are the options. Charleston, Savannah, Galveston, Corpus Christi, Port Arthur, Gulfport, H-town, New Orleans, Mobile, Panama City, St Petersburg, Tampa, Pensacola, Wilmington, Morehead City.
To your point, the B-2s @ Whiteman could be neutralized real easily. I think they keep 4-6 @ Diego Garcia, tho.
If I could pick a force, I'd want the combat-creatives @ Bragg.
A close second would be 50,000 Aggies.
Depends on who takes to the air first, wouldn't you say?
I was thinking along the lines that Texas will be the first to secede, followed by many of the flyover states.
Standard Disclaimer: I really need to go back and determine where the country's nuclear weapons are stored. I would have never guessed that nuclear-tipped cruise missiles for US nuclear submarines were kept in N.J. back in the day.
Agree, the order is Coastal state with a port or 2, and then a number of flyover states that come in for their freedom.
You can wage a successful large-scale asymmetric conflict in the modern age without air power.
Look no further than the Afgan 'snackbar'.
The Feds would win, just like they did in Viet Nam.
Like Charlie Sheen "win"?!? Or Bush 'major combat ops are over', photo-op "win"?
If a state were to secede they would get much support from outside.
Right you are but the States are supposed to be sovereign whithin their own territory. It is only in interstate commerce and international commerce are they to be supervised by the Federal Government. Within the states the laws are supposed to be the same as other states in regards to, at a minimum, the limits on Government power in the American Constitution
Yup, here in OR, TPTB drove out Gov. Kitzhaber, MD., so they could hot swap him with some Fembot biatch, who's slap-happy to have all that 'power' and prestige.
Agreed, but in reality Kitzy was no prize to start with. The truth is Oregon just pegged the progressive liberal meter a few inches deeper than it was before. All you really have to know about Oregon is that it was one of only two states to go to Dukakis. And that was AFTER that goofy fucking photo of him on the tank! It has only gotten worse since then, which included all of Kitzy's previous 3+ terms BTW. Rural folks are so outnumbered I am surprised they still even have any left. 70%+ of the rural lands around Burns are controlled by .gov. Portland does lead the nation in per capita strip clubs though due to 'the protection of artistic freedom'. Maybe the ranchers should start planting stripper poles instead.
The power of the federal government lies in the power of conjured money. As long as a government check is accepted as currency then their power will continue. What we all know is that fiat dies at some point. When that happens, states and counties and cities will assert their sovereignty.
the smug smile ,always the same, janet, alan, ben..the knowing they have executed their part of the plan, bankrupt the nation - take down the goy government of the founders, change it into a brother marx parkland of communist glory, by stealth and use of media..they must smile to hide the lies. mix the mongrel third worlders until the white people are deluted, out numbered.
or am i just paranoid? the facts before us (when not filtered thru the MSM and marxist schools)..do they hold water?? you must decide.
