All to enforce the supremacy of the national over the state. And we worship him as an emancipator.
I spit on his legacy. I refuse to kneel before him.
I am a free man. Even if you imprison me, I am still free. Because God, and no man, makes me free. And I will not worship the legacy of a man whose bloodlust against the individual on behalf of the collective is at the core of every problem we face as a nation today.
And now states like Montana play their little boy games and pretend that they have the courage to be men. This kind of crisis of free men versus the collective has happened many times before. Wherever tyranny is found, free men, individualists, have to make important choices.
Video Assignment
Valkyrie This film is a fictionalized account of an actual attempted coup against Hitler in the summer of 1944. This film makes clear that history is often made by one man. Indeed, all of history is of one man at a time making decisions, we just miss the important events sometimes because we are caught up in our daily compliance rituals.
To me, the most pivotal point of the movie is when the commander of the home guard speaks to Hitler on the phone as the head of the SS stands before him. After this conversation the commander obeys the orders of the SS and puts down the coup. Had he drawn his pistol instead and shot the head of the SS between the eyes he would have saved countless lives. Lives of Germans who had not yet been bombed to death or frozen in the East.
Jews who had not yet been gassed to death. Allies who had not yet died in Europe. Marines who had not yet died in the Pacific. Japanese who would never see the power of the atom over their city before their eyes boiled away. Soviet soldiers who had not yet frozen grappling with their German foe. Soviet citizens who had not yet been starved by their government. Koreans and Americans alike who fought each other after the Chinese Communists filled the vacuum left by the Japanese. Vietnamese and Americans alike who fought each other after the Soviets built their power on a captured Eastern Europe. All of the countless nameless souls in South East Asia who have suffered regime after regime of violence. Nameless Palestinians who had not yet blown themselves up to protest the establishment of a nation which would have never been established. All of the victims of Islamists who would never have been duped into violence. Including all those who have not yet seen that atom either.
Whether this specific incident happened or not as portrayed in the film is immaterial. What is material is that this coup failed because at some point some individual merely followed his orders from an evil, manipulative regime and the whole plot collapsed. Whoever that unknown person may be, he could have decided to be a man instead of an agent of the collective.
But he didn't. Throughout the film tyrants are arrested by the coup, and then freed to execute their captors. Had these tyrants been shot on sight, they would never have been around to order those executions, or to re-seize power. Arrest is not enough when you are fighting tyranny. A famous quote from Thomas Jefferson is often misquoted thus: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots."
Even that radical talk show host quotes this incorrectly, as he fantasizes about his Civilist of Wars. He does this on purpose, I imagine, to avoid being seen as a rabble-rouser. But what Jefferson actually said was this: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
I disagree with Jefferson. The necessary and sufficient condition is: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of tyrants."
The blood of patriots is only an indication of a willingness to use personal force, not a mission plan. I assume this is what Jefferson meant. But if you try to use force yourself as they come for your guns, you will merely be slaughtered. As I have shown in this book, immediate force is not required at all. Instead, all we have to do is stop feeding them until they grow weak.
At some point, though, one of you reading this will be at that point of decision. When that time comes, the modern SS will be in front of you waiting for you to obey. As your countrymen are placing their lives on the line around you, you will know what to do.
But this pivotal event won't be nearly as dramatic as shown in the film. The circumstances will be simple, and seem almost reasonable. Unless you are keenly aware of your constitutional purpose, you won't even recognize the crisis as it unfolds around you. Such as when that national agent is arresting a citizen of your state. And you, as a state trooper, are sworn to defend that citizen's rights as he has committed no crime which matters in your jurisdiction. And when that agent points his weapon at you, you will know what to do. But first, the legislature of your state has to be there to protect you. And they shield you by giving you the legal authority to act accordingly to protect that citizen, as is its duty to do so. Because unless those legislators have the fortitude to put teeth in their laws, they are just playing little boy games with all our lives.
Before I close this chapter, I want to discuss a possibility which many fear will happen soon. And yet, as with any crisis or risk, there is opportunity within it. The mere existence of this possibility, or its implementation, should fill us with encouragement.
Imagine the thoughts of a high official in China or Russia. He might consider a disaster which could befall the United States, and what a possible outcome of that disaster might be. If this book and the ideas within are taken to heart, hundreds of millions of easily misled and manipulated wastrels in this country would have vanished, and along with them the political clout which can be used to manipulate markets and ideas. For the most part, these people will have perished by their own hands, and by their unwillingness to provide value in exchange for their own support.
That commissar, for lack of a better term, might imagine the realignment of world power which could occur when, out of the ashes of that disaster, rose as few as a million capable and independent-minded Americans who know how to rebuild civilization itself. A million true Americans sitting atop the rubble of a continent to plunder to get started. While breeding like rabbits, and determined to teach their children and grandchildren truth and knowledge, instead of submission and compliance.
And armed with nuclear weapons, which would, of course, survive the crisis. Permissive Action Links (PALs) notwithstanding, those in the know could reconfigure such devices. Just because a door has a lock on it doesn't mean that you can't use the door. Even those PALs which intentionally misfire to destroy the weapon don't actually destroy the fissile nuclear material, by design. And in such a crisis, the caretakers of these weapons might decide that the best way which they could provide value is to assist in re-enabling them. As would Navy ship and submarine captains and Air Force pilots, if they had any sense. Some wouldn't, but enough would.
Regardless, these few Americans, the true heirs of the founding fathers, would also be the heirs of one of the largest nuclear stockpiles in the world, as well as the remnants of the world's most sophisticated Navy and Air Force. And lacking the social equivalent of PALs, otherwise known as civility, which had been heretofore installed within our minds.
After those few Americans recover, those in other nations who would trade with them fairly, and be their brothers in spirit would have nothing to fear from them. Those who would demand their alms would likely perish or learn to fend for themselves. Those who would attack them would die faster. Our commissar in question might have an idea about which category he inhabits. He might also wonder about the validity of a policy of Mutually Assured Destruction against a potential foe who had already survived a major national crisis, and was too dispersed to be easily targeted. Overnight, Mutually Assured Destruction mutates into Unilateral Certain Destruction against Minor Inconvenience.
Clearly, to the foreign commissar, this would be an absolutely intolerable situation, one which must be avoided at all costs. Because the cost would surely be paid eventually, whether now or later with interest makes little difference. His own people would have no choice but to rise against
him, because if they didn't, they too would bear ethical responsibility for their collaboration against these few Americans. Later claims for mercy, "oh, it was our government" shall fall on deaf ears. Those who stay uninvolved can be the friends of those few later.
Now consider the imposition of martial law in this country to mitigate the crisis. Martial law will eventually prove self-defeating, as does any form of central economic or political control, for many of the reasons stated in this book. For a while, perhaps a few days or a few weeks, such centrallyrun control will seem to be fine. Until the desertions start.
Some hopefuls imagine that our military will be a model of virtue and justice. However, this point of view overlooks the fact that our military leadership is selected on the basis of political reliability. At no time are military personnel graded on their understanding of Constitutional principles. To count on colonels or generals to secure your liberty against orders is foolish and dangerous. And to count on corporals and sergeants to disobey the orders of the colonel, risking execution, is asking them to sacrifice too much.
Yet during this period of martial law, if we keep our heads, we will survive for the next phase as the forces of human nature take its toll on our oppressors. Few Americans relish the thought of killing our own servicemen or police, but that mental restriction will soon fade when those in the national government abandon their oaths to the Constitution and take the next step. This abandonment will begin as the strain of domestic occupation deepens. An unending occupation is tough enough for a soldier to face when far away from home with no easy ride back. Tougher still when your own family is elsewhere being occupied. Faced with this dilemma, many of the rank and file will quietly slip away to their homes, taking their weapons and ammunition with them. On foot if need be.
It will be slow at first. But each deserter encourages the next, accelerating until it is obvious that the colonel will have few troops to lead, and fewer still to protect him from the rest. To our own domestic commissars, whether on the left or on the right, this, too, is intolerable. And so, our domestic enemies will align with the foreign, and invite foreign troops into our nation to help suppress us. Knowing the eventual outcome if this invitation is refused, the foreign commissar's troops will soon stream in. By so doing, the commissar gambles, incorrectly, that the suppressed American few will not ultimately win, and then one day turn to exact judgement. Regardless, this invading force will face no opposition at the shoreline, having been invited by a government which, by this action, has declared war on its own citizens.
For those Americans who would hesitate, rightly, at killing our own, no such ethical opposition would stay their hand against these foreign invaders. Perhaps a misplaced and manipulated respect for authority might, for a time, but this too will fade. In the eyes of the national leadership which will have capitulated to a foreign power, which has laid its plans in our midst for decades, the true Americans would become the insurgents, in our own country. And the mounted heads of Chinese or Russian colonels, in full regalia, would begin to dot the living rooms and lodges of B Country.
This too, would be intolerable to either oppressor. And so these foreign troops will appear, not in their uniforms or using their weapons and equipment, but in the guise of our own. Our foreign enemies will wear the uniforms of Americans, carry the weapons and equipment of Americans and drive the police cars of Americans. And in most cases, these invaders will have been selected by their ability to speak English like Americans. Given our melting-pot heritage, it would be practically impossible for an individual American to identify any particular soldier or policeman as an American versus a Chinese soldier. Or especially a Russian, who spans the ethnic range almost as much as we do. But he will easily identify you.
So how would an American know whether the foe he faces, behind the body armor or the badge, will be a fellow American or not? What conditions will trigger his actions to rise against these invaders and take the country back? It is difficult to say, and to even speculate would give his enemies the opportunity to manipulate that knowledge against him.
But one thing is clear. When the desertions begin, true Americans will start returning to their families and communities with their weapons, ammunition and equipment. Slowly at first, and then faster. The first few must be suspected as plants. So these must be welcomed by their communities upon their return, but quarantined. They must be isolated from any information which could be given to the infiltrated forces. Equally important, they should be shielded against capture and punishment by the infiltrators, as a means of encouraging other true Americans to perform their individual duty to their communities and their states.
Then, once the volume of new arrivals increases, true Americans will know that the occupation and capitulation is in full bloom, evidenced by the rate of desertion from the infiltrators, as well as the information brought home by them. At that time, those who remain in ranks must either be foreign invaders, or those of our own countrymen who have elected to side with them. Ethically, these will be enemies of the Constitution either way.
When that day arrives, those survivors will know that their time has come. And those first who returned but were quarantined? Or even those who initially lacked the courage to desert and remained in ranks? Let all of them prove their loyalty to their communities and their states by whatever means seems appropriate at the time.
As for the occupiers, they too will be suffering on a national scale. All of the world economies depend on us to one degree or another. The Europeans have the best chance of surviving without us, but are too far down the road of socialism to pull out soon enough to hurt us. The Russians are better capable of assisting the capitulators with an occupation, but would be throwing their troops into a meat grinder which would make their experience in Afghanistan seem tame. And the young Russian soldier of today is not the soldier he once was. But ours? In particular, the deserters from the occupation? Having fought insurgents themselves recently, our younger veterans have more relevant war-fighting experience than anyone in the world for that kind of conflict. Their experience consists of being on the suppression side of an insurgency, but even so they have no doubt learned valuable lessons which would be helpful in such a crisis.
The Chinese? They survive on Walmart dollars and our patience. They have the ground forces in sufficient number to attempt an occupation, but they are also the least capable of assimilating. As such, their presence would only provide the ethical trigger for the occupied to begin engaging. They also need to eat, and supporting a supply chain across the Pacific and our continent would stress them to the breaking point. The Chinese would soon find that they need their own soldiers back home. Particularly when facing Americans who had lost their jobs to them.
The Middle East? Take away our petro dollars, since the surviving American millions will need only domestic energy, and the entire Middle East system collapses. Within a month, their society will revert back to a nomadic tribal existence, having raided and killed their false royalty. That opportunity will arise when that royalty, as pawns and allies of the Western suit-monkey devils, can no longer afford to defend themselves against their own subjugated tribes. And with most of the oil left intact, underground, and waiting. Mexico? Central America? Without our intervention, drug cartels and anyone with an axe to grind against their corrupt governments would overwhelm them. But then the drug cartels, denied our protective narco dollars or anywhere to spend them, would, like the Middle East royalty, fall prey to their own citizens. Those survivors, the builders and producers there, would one day be our brothers and welcomed with open arms, they themselves having been freed by both our collapses.
Some wonder whether, knowing this, the Russians or the Chinese or others might pre-emptively attack this country with their nukes during a crisis, in an attempt to keep our nukes out of the hands of those few Americans, or to take advantage of our momentary weakness. They might, but where would their nukes fall? On A Country, of course. And on top of the oppressive powers
' power base. Pity. If you have read this book you have been warned beforehand. Get out of the way now and prepare yourself with knowledge so that you will have no fear.
Those few Americans, the million or so, would have a long memory. Anyone who moved against them would one day face judgement. Whatever nation would be foolish enough to try, such as assisting in an occupation, would take upon themselves the responsibility of facing the inevitable wrath. The force of free men trading with each other and building civilization will eventually produce excess capability, which can be turned against the barbarians who threaten them. And then remove them as a permanent threat, to a man. There will be no room for mercy.
But to see this day and survive it, you must first survive the initial gun seizure which is coming. Then, you must survive the inevitable martial law as the crisis deepens. Until then, prepare yourself with knowledge, and demonstrate your willingness to trade your ability and skill with your fellow productive man. Those of you who are most inclined to fight that first battle against the gun-grabbers are exactly the people we will need later. Our enemies know this, which is why they will try to goad you into a fight when they come for your guns, so that they can slaughter you right then and there. Don't sacrifice yourself foolishly in this way. In fact, don't sacrifice yourself at all, then or later.
Cold dead hands won't win this war.
Chapter 20, Smoke Filled Rooms
Some of the ranting of this work may lead the reader to believe that I think there is a vast conspiracy around us. And that I think we are merely puppets dancing to the strings of a faceless malice within smoke-filled rooms somewhere in the vast out there.
Nothing could be farther from the truth. We live in a representative republic, which means that the government we have is not only the government we deserve, but it is the government we choose. I often hear on various talk radio programs complaints about the government, or bad actors of various political leanings. These targets of frustration merely serve as convenient punching bags to vent the rage of the distressed.
