Rumblings of Revolution

Yesterday I attended a training meeting organized by an emergency response team to which I belong. The topic was those actions we might undertake outside of our official capacity when happening upon an emergency, before first responders arrive. The instructor included in his preamble something along the lines of the following: “Today Trump was indicted so we should all be particularly mindful of the potential for insurrection and violence anywhere we go.”

What unadulterated BS! This guy has clearly been watching too much Fake News. The leftist talking heads WANT there to be violence. They WANT to show images of “white supremacist nationalist racist homophobic transphobic ultra MAGA Trump followers” engaging in violence to support their false narrative. They ignore the Biden corruption and breathlessly show video of snipers on roofs and any possible example of raised voices in order to be able to point, “There, see, they’re violent extremists”. So of course the instructor, a Leftist, virtue-signaler who get his news from MSNBC just HAD to parrot the idiot talking heads hyperventilating in hopes of “if it bleeds it leads” headlines.

It is, of course, the Left that riots, burns buildings and cars, kills people and engages in violent insurrection, not Trump supports or the Right! But let’s not let facts cloud the story!

What really happened was that thousands of people absolutely appalled by the judicial travesty that unfolded yesterday came out and PEACEFULLY protested the abuse. The Cuban refugee community prayed for Trump in a popular local restaurant he visited, and hundreds turned up for a fundraiser at Trump’s club in Bedminster, NJ last night to support him. No violence, no armed rebellion, no looting or burning or lascivious acts.

Every day our country descends further and further into the abyss of tyranny and oppression. Tucker Carlson, in the third installment of his Twitter monologues (see it here) puts it succinctly and in far more eloquent terms than I could ever articulate. His topic was the hypocrisy of the Uniparty, i.e. the Swamp, i.e. institutional Washington, but the underlying message was further explanation of why our country is going to hell.

As I have noted repeatedly over the last few years, short of Divine Intervention, only a Black Swan, Unknown-unknown, cataclysmic or catastrophic event will eliminate the evil that has permeated every corner of our institutions and our society. We have gone way past the point of no return. We are now careening down the slippery slope to a second-rate world power, no longer to be a land of peace and prosperity, a beacon on a hill.

An article by Glenn Elmers of the Claremont Institute goes so far as to suggest that a Revolution MAY be possible, may even be inevitable given how out of control the government aka the Biden administration has gotten. His article, which cites the Declaration of Independence and the factors that compelled the original Revolution can be read here. So, yeah, at some point the Left may push so hard against sanity and the American traditions that millions upon millions of pissed off people, having lost their freedoms, having lost their livelihoods, having lost their property and their way of life, WILL revolt.

I also commend to your reading the article by Kevin Slack, author of a brand new book entitled, “The War on the American Republic:How Liberalism Became Despotism”. The article, found here, is entitled, “The Constitution, Citizenship, and the New Right” and pretty well summarizes his thesis. He argues that it is the fact that the people ARE armed that forms a bulwark against tyranny, a deterrent to ultimate subjugation of the people into servitude.

The Left keeps baiting us. They want to foment armed conflict in order to be able to declare martial law and/or exert control by force. But as Slack notes…

“The only force that can oppose this servitude is an armed citizenry with a stake in society, angry about its managed decline, and insistent upon its rights. Thus the kleptocrats’ fear is an armed citizenry above all, and they seek to register, then confiscate, AR-15s to render the people defenseless against state coercion. Such tyranny could trigger open conflict—Americans own some 500 million firearms. And while the Left celebrates revolution, its marchers have never seen the systematic ordering force of conservatism when prodded to destruction. The Left can claim control of the bureaucracy and military command, but of actual fighting forces it holds few—it has alienated local police and the 3.3 million veterans who have returned from recent imperial wars. The Right, after such a long train of abuses, must confront whether it would be willing to leap into the revolutionary abyss. This willingness and preparedness for war may be the way to prevent open conflict, to force a common recognition of some table of values, of inalienable rights not subject to negotiation.”

Yup.

Ivy League Degree, Apologist for the Left

Just ran into a friend at WalMart and told him about my trip to DC last weekend; how from the Washington Monument to the Capitol it looked as if they were prepared for the Russian Army to invade and how to the west at the WW2 and Vietnam Memorials it was an extraordinary gathering of patriots paying respects to the fallen, reminiscing, etc. The friend, a self-professed RINO, suggested something to the effect, “Well, you never know what intelligence law enforcement is getting,” essentially, trying to justify the extreme security. When I pointed out that it was if they were wishing an insurrection of patriots to occur, my friend just shook his head and bit his tongue. What is so shocking about this encounter is that highly educated people still believe the nonsense they’re hearing on the news: that January 6th was an insurrection, that patriots are all racist pigs, that the present mess our country is in is not Biden’s fault. Sigh…

Led By The Nose

America, Government, Headlines, Media, Politics, Reason, Society & Culture, Values

I just had to react to a couple of events that clearly illustrate how inept, incompetent and weak the Biden administration is. They truly can’t see beyond two inches in front of their noses. They are reactive in all things. Two cases in point: Kamala Harris, faced with being completely rendered insignificant and worthless by Trump’s planned visit to the border, schedules a trip to EL PASO, 1,000 miles away from where the REAL problem is. She’s already blown it. She’s already insignificant and worthless. Second, faced with the rapidly increasing crime rates in major cities due to HIS and his party’s stupid policies, Biden reads a worthless speech on crime prevention from the White House that is so lame even dumb-downed Democrats roll their eyes as he tries to stay relevant. But, out in front of the cameras and his teleprompter he goes so that he can kowtow to the Leftist media and the sycophants trudging along behind him as he short-steps away form the podium. And, as usual, his spokesperson (Psaki) utterly fails in her attempt to blame Republicans for the worsening crime statistics.

These people are vile. They care about one thing and one thing only: POWER. As more and more people wake up to the fact that the Democrats are willing to sacrifice and are sacrificing the well-being of the nation, its people, its principles, its pre-eminence and exceptionalism so as to garner more of it (HR1 and S1 being the most obvious examples)…as Biden THREATENS the American people by saying that to take on the government the people are going to need F-15’s and perhaps a nuclear weapon or two (WHAT PRESIDENT SAYS THAT????) the more the greater the backlash will be until a REAL insurrection takes place!

Makes you wonder who is really pulling the strings behind the scenes. I’ll venture a guess that it’s one or two or maybe a handful of people with a nefarious/evil agenda in mind. I say that because Democrats by nature are lemmings/sheep who follow anyone who can tug at their heart strings, coerce them to follow, demagogue them to exhaustion, or simply promise them utopia (with a catchy pop song to accompany it all). Conservatives and Traditionalists, by way of contrast, are individualists by nature and they will not run off the edge of the cliff (like Democrats are wont to do) just because someone commands them to. Thus, it only takes one or two mouthpieces, memes, phrases, speeches, no matter how peurile, no matter how ridiciulous, to get Democrats to go along and repeat the words and mimic the behaviors of their central casted, in full makeup and wardrobe (e.g. aviator sunglasses) so-called “leaders”.

However, if enough nonsense and destruction by the Democrats is exposed…if enough idiocy and incompetence and stupidity is laid bare for EVERYONE to see (e.g. a poor old man falling 3x (3x!!!) up the stairs of Air Force One or a ridiculous, cackling waste of oxygen spilling verbal diarahhea from her mouth), some, not all, but some Democrats will go silent from embarassment and either vote conservatively/traditionally or stay home and note vote at all. Either way, we have a chance to take back our country from the grips of these lunatics.

Moving Forward Without Moving On

Many of us are so angry at what has transpired not just in the election, but to our country altogether, that we either quietly or loudly talk about revolution, rebellion, armed insurrection, etc. Many have bought guns, are hoarding ammunition, and above and below ground organizations are springing up discussing what to do about the raping of our country by the Leftist, woke mob.  

Others are complacent, waiting for either the MOAB (the Mother of All Bombs) to drop or some event or action that will save us from this madness.

It’s January 1, 2021. The cavalry may not come, the Senate could fall into Democrat hands, Biden and Harris might actually be inaugurated on January 20th, and America will have not just descended all the way to the bottom of the slippery slope, but have replicated the scene at the bottom of Mt. Sinai when Moses came down with the tablets. The whooping and hollering, the recklessness, the profligacy and debauchery will overshadow the anguish those of us who believe in a traditional America will feel.

I used to think the Silent Majority would speak up and speak out, and believed the majority, albeit a small one, of Americans would reject the stupidity of the Left. I now fear that the dumbing down of two generations behind me, their surrender to peer pressure of social media and the perversion of the “knowledge” that was placed in their heads by too many of the recycled hippie teachers of MY generation, i.e. the brainwashing, has finally caught up with us. The levers of power in all our institutions are now in the hands of the base-of-Mt.Sinai misfits.

What can we do about this? I’ve been wrestling with this question for months as Leftist forces seem to have grown in size and power and the influence of the Right waned.

First, we must not concede defeat. Even if traditionalists are now a minority in our nation, we know our values are right and just and must stick up for them, set an example using them, have courage to defend them in the face of ridicule, condescension, belittlement.

Second, we must not let disappointment and sadness give way to despair. We must become happy rebels. Think of the hedgehog in cartoons that gets slapped hard and is sent flying across the room. He rolls into a ball, comes to a stop and  then with a grin stands up ready to fight again. We’ve got to learn to derive meaning and contentment by fighting back against evil. We must band together under the banners and slogans we all know: “Don’t tread on me”, “We have nothing to fear but fear itself”, “Never give up. Never, never give up”, “The colors of our flag don’t run”, “Land of the Free, Home of the Brave”, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction”, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing” and on and on.

Third, we must get fit physically. We need to shed the Covid pounds. We need to MOVE – even if we’re working from home, we need to force ourselves to get out of our chairs regularly and exercise. Just stretching and walking is helpful. We need to make physical activity a habit, not a chore.

Fourth, we must get fit morally. We have to practice Good (a.k.a. righteous) Principles that we know but have allowed to atrophy, starting with the Golden Rule. In our confinement we’ve gotten testy, short, frustrated, easily annoyed. We need to do unto others, starting with our own families, as we would like them to do unto us. And we need to consciously avoid the barrage of “trending” garbage coming at us from social media, television, Hollywood. We need to honor each other, be true and faithful to one another, seek to find the good in others instead of needing to find fault (tough task here!)

Fifth, we must restore faith. Whether we believe in God or not, we must recommit to believe in the principles of the Judeo-Christian tradition…the principles that have ALWAYS, IN ALL TIMES and ALL GENERATIONS, helped mankind to grow and prosper: Freedom, the tenets enshrined in the Ten Commandments, the right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, belief in the dignity of Human Life, the Work Ethic, Meritocracy, common Decency, Self-reliance, Accountability, Kindness and Charity. If we have faith, we need to make it a habit to return to our houses of worship as soon as possible, to gather with others of like mind in fellowship. There is strength in numbers.

Sixth, we need to feed our souls with GOOD food. Uplifting literature, music, film, web destinations. There are many. I’ll devote another post to some we can rely on for inspiration, motivation and positive reinforcement of our principles.

Seventh, we have to keep our eyes and ears open and listen for the call to resist when and where needed. I’m not talking about armed rebellion. As angry as we are, we must stay under control, not give in, not give up, but not lose our cool. We need to “stay frosty” as the special forces and good guys would say.

So, no easy road ahead. But let’s breathe in, breathe out, stiffen our spines, do what’s right and even if we never get this mess turned around and aren’t able to climb out of the hole we’re in and back up the slippery slope, recognize that a journey of striving to promote Good, and Right and Truth will be a meaningful and gratifying one.
