“The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive.” ~ Thomas Jefferson The American government will be soundly defeated if a civil war ever erupts in the continental US. Not only will a single incident have a ripple effect that will spark the awakening of thousands of insurgencies but the violent over-reaction and clumsy attempts at propaganda by the American media complex in the thrall of Mordor on the Potomac will wholly exacerbate the conflicts to levels of mayhem and insurrection that will startle the normal American. There is a huge simmering and angry underbelly to the American polity that the Tea Parties are only a slight indication of. Citizens have had long and growing resentment toward the creeping socialism and incompetent central planning they have labored under for over a century. Not only will violence be spiked in the Great Wide-Open between the Marxist coastlines but massive tax revolts, burgeoning black markets, Gandhian non-compliance and active shunning of government entities will rear their heads. I think it will take one bold move from the government during the coming bad times of hyperinflation and the employment of government sponsored paramilitary operations against the wrong group to strike the match. The government is much like a swimmer at midnight in a pool of gasoline that lights a match to see where he is going. All the necessary measures to forestall or prevent this from happening are long past. The central planners will not reduce regulation. They will not cut taxes and spending. They will not respect states rights. They will not contain the unlimited power of the robed government employees. They will not leave the world alone and insist on making war on every corner of the globe with no restraint nor reason. They violate the most basic right that inspired a flag: the Gadsden “Don’t Tread on Me” banner. Obamunism is a seamless transition from GWB and the Busheviks: the policy differences are hard to discern. These two rulers were simply the logical extension of the Grand Imperial experiment that America embarked on with increasing speed since the regrettable conclusion of the War of Northern Aggression in 1860–65. Whatever history you learned in the government reeducation camps was no less than a sophisticated stream of fabrications and exaggerations to convince the student only larger government has the answer to every problem he faces. It is interesting to note that the year’s top Presidential picks are unswervingly devoted to using the Constitution as toilet paper and made war on some unfortunates in our land or a foreign nation. A question surfaces: how could the most powerful and technologically sophisticated military force the world has ever seen in recorded history be defeated by a non-peer military competitor who has no navy, air force, artillery, armor or structured ground forces? I defer to Bill Lind for the deeper and more subtle reasons which are legion why America will meet defeat in Fourth Generation Warfare (4GW). We are presently shifting our main military effort from Iraq to Afghanistan and not because we have declared victory, for the countless numbers of insurgents are alive and well in Iraq, but because the war is lost and we know it. The war in Afghanistan has managed to sap the US armed forces of vital strength in force fatigue and exhaustion, break the back of the British Army (again), strengthen the Taliban to unprecedented levels and move the hands of the clock closer to midnight for a localized (?) nuclear confrontation between Pakistan and India. That is quite an accomplishment in less than a decade. It took almost twice as long to destabilize Europe prior to the First World War to make the world safer for big government, communism and bureaucratized slaughter. We have had a hell of a time pacifying and taming the more “Wild West” sectors of Iraq not to mention the number of insurgencies alive and well in the cities. While one can suppose that most sects of Islam are rather militant and preserve a warrior ethos in the male adherents, the Afghan fighters are a different breed altogether. They are like a modern-day Sparta and they dig fighting. The surge in Afghanistan will meet with the same stunning successes we have experienced in Iraq. The death toll will be higher especially for the indigenous population with the requisite number of women and children maimed and killed by our wonder weapons with widowed men and the fathers of dead sons left to seek their pound of flesh from the invaders. In short, yet another military quagmire will emerge wherever we should fear to tread. So what does this have to do with the original observation of the present American government losing its grip and losing a conflict with brother Americans on our own soil? We face conditions much different and much worse than our predecessors in terms of national debt, fiscal obligations, cultural fissures, government corruption and the precipice of totalitarian temptation are balanced on. Inevitably, when the aforementioned unpleasantness emerges, the state and federal governments will exhaust law enforcement assets and be forced to rely on military means to quell the disturbances and insurrections that will emerge. Posse Commitatus will be suspended and Northern Command will activate National Guard, Reserve and Active Duty armed forces will be unleashed on the targeted groups and forces that contest the state’s supremacy in the continental united States. They will face the inevitable resistance of a number of their own troops to make war on fellow Americans and the inherent risk of sleepers in the ranks who will maintain a communications link with emerging resistance forces. The government will be fighting a foe that will have a hometown advantage, levels of support & assistance from the mass base in the communities and the military forces will be surprised by the small arms expertise they will encounter the farther west they are deployed in these united States. The Central Government forces will face a military conundrum: the harder they hit and fight with the inevitable collateral damage the more the mass base will shift support and allegiance to local forces fighting the invaders. In an insurgency, the force ratio numbers are extraordinary: at their peak the post-WWII Irish Republican Army fielded 500 paramilitary “trigger men” against the UK forces numbering close to 42,000. As the current fight in Iraq and Afghanistan has shown, the force ratios remain incredibly imbalanced and the successful counterinsurgency (COIN) in the history tomes is bookended by dozens of successful insurgencies. Here is a pop quiz: how many Muslim insurgencies have been defeated since the end of WWII? Zero. Neocon chicken-hawks are fond of saying that Pershing’s defeat of the Muslims in the Philippines at the turn of the 20th century was a template for success. If it was so successful, what is causing the ruckus in Mindanao as we speak? The Central Government forces will face a foe that will run circles around them in the information conflict just as the Middle East antagonists have proven out. Prisoners of War will follow the cues of the Irish Republican Army and organize and stage riots and hunger strikes in the prison system. Supply lines for government forces will constantly be in the hazard. Foreign commentary on the conflict and the recognition of the embattled regions as legitimates nation-states would further complicate matters as Geneva and Hague conventions would be observed in protocol. We have to remember that the USSR recognized the state of Israel before the US did. Stranger things have happened. Read the newspaper debates between Mill and Dickens during the War of Northern Aggression. As I have inferred before, America will look quite a bit different in ten years time. The hope is that all of this can be avoided and those communities, states and entities that wish to leave in peace from an increasingly belligerent alien entity on the Potomac, may do so. I am saddened for my children by the inevitability of the coming strife but the central planners seem intent on creating a Rising. I am pessimistic and think that the same form of intellectual bankruptcy that informs what passes for government economic policy will be the same kind of impaired thinking that leads to the next calamity in these united States. War is coming home.

what do you think of this one?
The smooth criminal transition from Bush/Cheney to Obama
The people that own and operate the government should be the authors focus. However, other than that, he is most correct. This "government" has an "Ace of spades" up their sleeve and WILL put it on the table when they are ready.
Dead on correct. Thank you.
They want this to happen. They want all the idiots to sit behind their doors and wait for the shit to hit the fan with their MRE's and thousands of rounds of ammo,that way, it is to late for a political solution, and which will then bring on the NWO by the UN, and the starvation of millions. We live on a ship of fools.

The government ain't got shit if the people don't stand for it.

The government ain't got shit if the people don't stand for it. Would you care to give an interpretation of my original statement????
Yeah. You think the government can control or is in control of everything and will do whatever they can. I however disagree, respectfully, and believe this is their last chance for a while to get their nwo up and running, and people are waking up. Am I allowed to disagree with your statment?

My original post does not say that in any way shape or form. "This "government" has an "Ace of spades" up their sleeve and WILL put it on the table when they are ready. Try it one more time.
What is the "ace of spades" for which you speak? I cannot read your mind.
http://www.samuelcraven.com/work/susan-boyle-is-isis/
I admit I wrote that to see if anyone would pick up on it and no one did. The term "spade" a long time ago was a term used for black people. Obama was created and elected for a reason, other than that, with $700 million dollars the elite could have elected anyone of thousands of men.
i knew that's who you were referring to. explain though how you see that relating to the text of this article. do you see Him as the spark?
The smooth criminal transition from Bush/Cheney to Obama
The author poses the above question. The "government" of course has considered such, that is why Bush spent eight long years creating agencies and oppressive laws, rules and regulation. Obama is tightening the screws, carrying on where Bush left off. American elite want to ensure that no matter what happens they remain in control. If it takes an iron fist of the military and law enforcement, they will do it. Recall there was NO partisan politics by the elite for Obama? Even the Nixons and Eisenhowers joined the parade because they did not want to get left out in a time of need. Whites of this country will never again rise up, never.
i do. Whites of this country will never again rise up, never. that makes me sorrowful.
The smooth criminal transition from Bush/Cheney to Obama
They'll still block bridges.
The holy shall kill thy therapist, for it IS a sin.
i knew that's who you were referring to. mi tu.
May be too late, but even my staid repub neighbors are waking up. I was taking out the trash this morning and one the neighbors is walking the dog and stops to talk about a DVD that he saw. Couldn't quite figure out which one, but he's going on about the subversion of the gov't and Obama and saying that it's time for a revolution. There's a rumble in the distance.
Join 2x4 Tuesdays & protect your RKBA. The new term is "canadian".
