Moving Back to America Episode 2: TURN AROUND

Maybe it’s time to change our fundamental battle formation.

Moving Back to America Episode 2: TURN AROUND

Turn around does not mean ‘retreat.’ It means turning your backs on the poison and depriving it of its power. It means turning to face the good people we will be fighting with and fighting for.

Bill, I think American and Anti-American are perfect descriptions. I know you appreciate Andrew Klavan’s work, and he uses Friends and Foes of the Founding as descriptions of the same idea.

Cowards, Bill.
You’re no rookie. We both have a good grasp of vocabulary. On the subject of wrestlers who are forbidden to shake hands for fear of COVID? Who would make such absurd rules? What are they afraid of? Cowards. Afraid of everyone and everything. No one uses the term coward. No one, but me. I use it with discretion. When and how it applies. And Bill, more than ever this past few years cowards are running the show. From academia where cowards fornicate and procreate to the stages where they perform.
Say the word: coward. I find it has a cathartic value to my soul when I verbalize cowards and cowardice. I hope you too benefit from the same release of anger when you call cowardice and cowards by the singular noun our dictionary gives us.
So happens I am blessed to be welcomed by a select gang of anti-cowards here in San Diego. We call ourselves Bubbas. That we’ll save for another venue.

Ok, well here’s another one of my essays. I have quite a lot to say about this and it’s going to take a while so if your attention span is short or you only communicate on the internet in bursts of 250 characters or less, I’m not following the Twitter format so be warned right now. I’m also going to make several points and you might disagree with some of them, or not, either way I’m interested in what you have to say. Right up to the time you get snarky, snide, pick out something out of context that you think you can criticize to show everyone how smart you are, etc. Then it’s a shootin’ match. So let’s avoid that, it’s counterproductive. Here we go ..

Bill is absolutely right and what he says applies perfectly the conditions that exist right now, today, 15 October 2020. Bill is a wise and intelligent man who puts great effort and thought into formulating his opinions. I think, with his guidance, we should use this series as an evolving instruction manual on the most fruitful way to proceed on the way to getting what we really want.

If what you really want is something else, say an armed Civil War, you really ought to reconsider. Because the way things stand today, that won’t get you America, that will get you a bloody mess and is actually more likely to defeat our common goals than to advance them. This is no time for hotheads and people who live out action/disaster movies in their own minds with them as the hero. This a time to do something fruitful that gives us a good chance of winning in the end.

Before I say more, I need to point out that in “turning around” I’m not certain Bill is taking into account the assault on our 2nd Amendment Rights. The Anti-Americans may take disengagement as acquiescence and move against the 2nd Amendment. We all know that the U.S. Constitution has been greatly weakened and that there are things being done today that are not strictly Constitutionally sound. I don’t think we can really count on the Constitutional Amendment process to protect the Bill of Rights by majority rule. If someone else has thoughts on this I’d love to hear them.

One thing I’m sure Bill is right about is that you can’t fight guile and lies with bullets. More on that in a little bit.

Recently I had occasion to give advice to the leader of a newly formed Militia Group. I do not belong to that group or anything else remotely associated with anything that could be called a Militia. These are good guys, they mean no overt harm, they’re just fed up and organizing in this manner is something that they feel is a good idea. I’m not sure about that but it’s their right and far be it from me to try to deny that to them.

The first bit of advice I gave this guy was —

“Do not under any circumstances break any laws. If you don’t know if the law pertains, find out before you do that thing. Do not have or allow your people to have anything that goes BOOM! Unless of course you can obtain blasting materials legally and under the proper licenses, properly stored, etc. Even if you can do that, do not assemble that kind of thing into any form that could be considered an anti-material or anti-personnel bomb. Eventually you will get arrested for that because it’s illegal as hell and it’s also dangerous as hell to you and your people. It takes training to properly handle explosives and even with training and strict controls (like in the military) accidents still happen. Explosives bite hard and in several ways. An accident is going to bring a ton of heat down on you besides the damage to life, limb and property that the “oopsie” entailed. Leave that stuff alone, just don’t mess with it.”

Because the next thing I told him was —

“As soon as three people know what you’re doing, you’re subject to infiltration. Don’t laugh, don’t scoff, don’t ignore this You will think you know everyone and that none of your “boys” could possibly do something like that to your group, you’re wrong. There are all kinds of ways of getting to people. Money, threat of arrest and prosecution, blackmail about marital indiscretions, or even ideology can all be brought to bear. Either against a weak point or by a professional. Not everyone that works for the authorities carries a badge and some of them are quite good at what they do. Do everything above board as though you are being monitored because there’s a good chance you are. Even if you’re not, you’re acting in a way that nothing can be used against you to label you as a criminal or a nut.”

The last bit of advice was —

“Don’t get involved with anything you don’t understand completely. By this I mean no poisons, no gasses, no weapons capable of mass casualties or weapons of assassination like ricin or hydrogen cyanide. NOTHING like that at all. There are anti-Terrorist laws on the books and you may not even know you’re doing something illegal when they come and arrest you. There are anti-Biological Weapons laws too. Just leave that stuff alone and don’t go there.”

The guy thanked me profusely for the guidelines. He knows me personally well enough to take what I said as truth. Y’all are going to have to take my word for it or not, I don’t care either way. The warnings are valid, if you ignore them that’s on you not me.

Bear in mind differences in perspective. Just because someone does not agree with you does not make them evil if they are otherwise conscientious. I’m not talking about the Anti-Americans, I’m talking about the average guy that’s likely to be your ally some day. You might see things a certain way but they may not. Here’s an example of different perspectives …

Many years ago I was in a bar in Arizona. I had a conversation with a good looking, fit, seemingly intelligent young man. Just a bar conversation, we didn’t know each other and as far as I was concerned it ended when the drinking did, or the bar closed, which ever came first. During that conversation the topic worked around a current even in the news not long before.

I didn’t bring it up and I’m still not sure if the guy was trying to recruit me or not. Or if he was an operative or not. We got to talking about the at that time recent Oklahoma City Bombing of the Murrah Federal Building. If the guy was trying to recruit me he was going about it the right way because he sidled into the topic like a pro. I know about pros too, btw, and you should be be able to get some inkling of why that is on your own. The conversation after preliminary dancing around the topic went something like this …

Him, “The OK City bombing was an act of patriotism and will be the spark that inspires people and ignites a movement to arrest the way our rights are being eroded and return us to a Constitutional Republic.”

I love our Constitutional Republic but I said, “No, I’m sorry, it won’t. Only time will tell which of us is right, if you don’t see a movement that springs up and accomplishes that, think back to this conversation. Here’s why…”

I said, “Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols will not be remembered as heroes and founders of anything. They’ll be thought of and remembered as a couple of vicious nuts that brought down a building with a bomb on the heads of innocents and children. Because that’s what happened, they killed non-combatants and kids in a bloody slaughter. That doesn’t make them heroes in the eyes of good, right thinking Americans, it makes them fiends of the worst kind. Everyone who saw that coverage thought about that happening to themselves, their own spouses and kids. This repulses exactly the kind of people you’re trying to attract. They picked the worst target they could possibly have chosen and they committed a heinous act that is unforgivable to most people. You do not win the support of the population by doing that sort of thing, you get nothing for it but disdain and disgust.”

The guy in the bar and I saw two different things but the same exact event. His perspective was different from mine. Mine was one of what was real, his was one of what he wanted to be real. He was a good, decent guy, in no way some sort of monster. He just wanted OK City to be a spark and that was as far as his thinking went. Don’t be that guy, you will not win converts to the cause that way. If someone has another perspective listen to them, evaluate what they say, and use it as a reality check against your own. You might have missed something, you might just be using wishful thinking. Pay attention to people who are on your side and tell you that you’re mistaken. They just might be right.

The guy in the bar? I hope I helped him get a broader perspective about what happens when people use extraordinary violence against those who were not actively harming them. I have no way of knowing as I left there and never saw the man again.

Moving on … this “turn around” thing, how do we do that and where do we start? I’d say to stop publicly POSTING on places like Twitter, Facebook and Snapchat etc. If you’re there and only reading you’re a null presence. If you’re not there at all you’re a non-entity completely., I don’t have an account on any of those but Facebook, under an alias, and only my immediate family can see my page. No one else even knows who I am and I like it that way. My family puts up pics and such on Facebook to avoid having to snail-mail or email everyone in the family separately. I never, ever comment outside my immediate family on Facebook and it’s rare I comment at all, even on my own page.

That’s a start to turning our backs on the Anti-Americans. It works for me but I’ve always kept my footprint on that kind of thing to a minimum. I know a lot of people use a lot of that stuff. I know some conservatives that use it a lot. I know it’s not feasible or desirable for some of you to decouple from that kind of social media. I’m not saying it’s a universal requirement or that if you don’t do it you’re not a Real American. I’m saying think about ways that you can turn your back on the Anti-Americans and disconnect from them. I’m real interested to hear suggestions on this subject.

This is long enough for now, I have more but it can wait. I’m interested in any feedback anyone has to offer.

I can’t believe I read the whole thing. “what happens when people use extraordinary violence against those who were not actively harming them”? like in Portland, Seattle, New York, etc. You go ACTS! and by the way, Spy vs Spy ROCKS!

Exactly, you got the point about extraordinary violence working against your goals. Even with the media on their side, that lawless violence cost the Democrats a lot. There’s more coming from that corner violence-wise.

I said a lot and a lot of what I said served multiple purposes. I’m telling stories from my past but they’re not just stories. You’re clearly one of the people that “got it”. Thanks for your patience in wading through my little essay.

I feel even better now about my decision to delete my Facebook account a month ago, which is probably just now taking effect, because clearly Zuckerberg thinks people who want out will be tempted back in before the 30 day wait is over. Sorry, Mark, the cons outweigh the pros for your propaganda site. As for Twitter, I never saw the appeal.

Thanks for the well written advice.

Bill is giving actionable advice. I’m trying to do the same. Be careful, be very, very careful now. Our enemies (make no mistake, the Anti-Americans are our enemies and by their own volition, not ours) would like nothing better than to take people like you out of the fight. They will do that if they can, don’t give them a reason. I’m not saying lay down and give up, I’m saying be smart about this.

Moreso than the the average, call it “normal” person … I know what we’re up against in the tactical realm. There was a time when these methods and means were used by decent, moral men for honorable ends. I was one of them and associated with those people in that time. I don’t think that’s the case anymore. I am no longer confidant that these means and methods are used for the betterment of Americans. Be careful, you can’t fight on any level if you’re removed from the battlefield. Don’t let that happen.

I’m a “sheepdog” type. Look that up so you understand what I mean. I don’t consider people “sheeple”, I love my flock and will do whatever I can to protect them. I want people to enjoy the personal liberties of a free nation.

You might be a sheepdog or you might be of the fold, it doesn’t matter a bit to me. I have a good friend and neighbor who spent his whole life working for a public utility. He”s not the brightest bulb on the tree but he’s a good man and true. I have worked my whole life in one capacity or another to ensure that people like him can enjoy the fruits of years of their own labor, to ensure that they are free.

I understand what Bill Whittle is getting at and I hope it works. I will work to help him as best I can, That said, I fear we are entering a dark time. We’ll see what we see, better now more than ever to plan for the worst and hope for the best.

I’m not sure if that’s general advice or a response to something specific I said. If it’s the latter, I’d love to know what you’re referring to. All I said was I left Facebook and thanked you for your comments.

As far as guns and violence (against the bad guys), I’m with you there. We, as conservatives, have been exceptionally held back (by ourselves) when it comes to confronting Antifa, BLM and the like. I do see incidents of Proud Boys and the like, and they seem to be there to protect the flag-bearing, Trump loving protestors, as a defensive position rather than offensive. That’s all good, as you know the far left has tried to provoke counter-violence, and portray us as racist hotheads. We need to let the Fed’s do their job (and not be impatient when it seems they’re not…) They’ve most likely infiltrated these bad groups as well, and will round them up when the time comes.

As far as social media, I think it is important to be part of the culture, to counteract the bad press and bad behaviors that are definitely out there. We need each other (like we have each other here at BW.com) to know that we’re not alone, that there are more of us than them, and to promote real news instead of MSM news. We can show how the leftist social media is censoring us, but not let that stop us. We still have freedom of speech, even if they don’t think so.

MSM and Hollywood have done a great job at pushing the culture into its own destruction, over many many years. With covid-crazy-lockdowns, they’ve also isolated us from each other physically, which leads to people getting what they need from the Internet or cable TV (and it’s permutations). I’ve been feeling very Scrooge-ish this Christmas season, not for myself but for the government servants (governors on down) who think they can impose regulations on us and we just need to obey.

Americans are not good at obeying… That’s what makes us Americans! We think and decide for ourselves, if allowed to…

I’ll try to keep this simple by responding to you by paragraph. Oh, and thanks for actually not only writing in paragraphs but double spacing them because it makes what you say a lot easier to read …

  1. 1st Paragraph — Guns and violence applied in other than a self defense situation just play into the hands of our adversaries. Kyle Rittenhouse was defending himself and that’s an excellent example but … Part of self defense is “did you belong there in the first place” and that may be problematic for his legal defense. It doesn’t matter for our purposes because we know he was acting in self defense and for the record I approve. You don’t have to let people kill you to prove your point. Nor should you do that. You’re still an American and you still have the right to preserve your life in gravest extreme.

A;ll of that said, I’m not sure I have confidence in the Feds anymore. That remains to be seen. I know there are good people working in those capacities but we are seeing a political sea change occurring right before our eyes. That has to play out before I decide either way.

  1. 2nd Paragraph — Social Media. I stated that I have a tiny footprint on Social Media. That’s me, and only me. If you are more involved in Social Media your situation might be different than mine. If you think you can do some good there, do it. I’m not saying you should act like me, I’m only saying that I act like me. You act like you and do the very best you that you can do.

This is not and will never be a “one size fits all” situation. You have to look at your assets and resources and do the best you can do with what you have to work with. If you can make a difference, do so. If you find you’re banging your head against a wall, stop doing that. It might feel good but you’re still banging your head. The bottom line is, are you really making a difference or are you just making yourself feel good? If the former, by all means keep doing it, if the latter, stop wasting your time and energy and move on to something more productive. Only you know where those lines of demarcation are. Be productive as you can be.

  1. Paragraph 3 & 4 … Those paragraphs kind of work with each other. There has to come a breaking point. Democrat Leftist virtue signalling is a positive feedback loop. Eventually it will bring about a crash or collapse if those people try to achieve their stated goals Either they achieve those goals or they fail, those are the only two possibilities. There is not enough wealth in the entire world to achieve those goals so … They are going to fail.

So … You have to choose what you will obey and disobey.. I hate wearing a mask and until someone says something like “Put on a mask or I’m calling the cops” or “I’m not going to ring up your purchases unless you have a mask” — I don’t put mine on. You might be amazed to learn how many people don’t want to push a nasty, tough looking old dude that far, YMMV. I make it clear that I’m only obeying under duress and force. You do what works for you. Every time I do that, I spread disobedience and the people around me sympathize with me more than the pogue making me wear a mask. Resist tyranny in a manner that others recognize it as tyranny.

It really seems to me that part of the line we need to draw is Americans vs Chinese Communist Racketeers, and it really seems, especially today, that Mitch McConnell is personally on the wrong side of that line.

Generalities and general principles are necessary and very good. However, at some point we will need to get down to brass tacks and come up with some very practical specifics on how to go forward.

Here is the reply that I wrote my state representative (Rosemary Brown, Pennsylvania) immediately after a letter she wrote her constituents, myself among them. Her letter to our inquiries about what she was doing was simply a sugar coated political cover. Mr. Strunk is her Chief of Staff and the one who sent her letter.
I will not accept that letter.
_________________________________________________________
Dear Mr. Strunk,
My wife and I built our business from the ground up over 35 years. We have provided employment for several hundred people nationally and have thousands of manufacturing and distribution companies that rely on our software to manage their businesses. While Rep. Brown’s letter is precise and factual, if I wrote a letter of that nature to explain business problems to our dealer channel and clients, the first thing I would be asked is “How are you going to permanently and expeditiously address these problems so that we feel safe doing business with you again?”
Since voting is the primary method whereby we have a “say” in our government, I am reasonable certain it is (or should be) a high priority on every representative’s job description to protect.
I remained silent when the court decided to extend the deadline to receive late ballots and establish drop boxes, directed the county boards of elections to not reject absentee or mail-in ballots based on signature comparisons conducted by the county election boards, and while the Secretary of State encouraged counties to create a ‘ballot curing’ process not provided under Pennsylvania law. I let my representative and her colleagues have time to do their jobs.
They did not.
I am sorry that Rep. Brown is “disheartened by the actions” that were taken. However, the outcome of all those “actions” was easy to foresee.
The result is that, after decades of faithful voting, I and my family cannot vote in confidence because our representative apparently no longer works to ensure that our vote counts. And when our vote does count, then we are serfs.
Perhaps Rep. Brown has spent too much time in politics and has forgotten that there are immoral people in this world. Beyond politics, there is right and wrong. These people need to be loudly and confidently confronted and held to account for their actions. If they are not, we lose America and our future.
Sincerely,
Roderick R. Hatcher
_____________________________________________________
Among the actions I have taken over the last few months is an increase in my monthly donation to Bill Whittle, monthly donations to the Patriot Post, the Heritage Foundation, David Horowitz, and Project Veritas.

I am currently working on a statement of principles to clearly define our movement and the directions of it’s implementation. It’s a sort of new declaration of independence, though I won’t presume to use that title.

As with everything I write, after just a few hours it’s already far too long. But that’s how I do these things – write too much then cut the fat until only the essentials remain. The parts that don’t belong are already beginning to constitute a separate document that outlines some specific actions to be taken. That document will follow this initial one.

If anyone has ideas for what belongs in such a document, please comment here or send me a PM.

Thanks.

I don’t have any suggestions right off the bat, my thinking tends to be more tactical than strategic. It’s not that I can’t be strategic, but tactical is more my strength. I’d be very interested in seeing what you come up with.

I’m wary of choosing our own name, for two reasons: (1) Getting this herd of cats to agree on anything is going to be really difficult, and (2) Once you have a label, it will be subject to criticism and, in our case, ridicule. Do we want to open ourselves to that? I think it will distract from the actions we will be taking.

Let the anti-Americans pick a name and distract themselves with it. Like everything else, we will ignore it and their (ab)use of it, and of us.

I’d really love to know what Ayn Rand was having the judge character add to the Amendments of the Constitution at the end of Atlas Shrugged. Of course, Mark Levin and others have proposed new Amendments to be looked at at a Convention of States. There’s no shortage of good ones.

That’s assuming all are in agreement that the Constitution be preserved, because if it’s not, we’re talking about armed revolution, the horrors of which have already been discussed by others here.

The only amendment specified in the book is “Congress shall make no law regarding production and trade.” That meaning is obvious. I’m mildly curious what others might have been.

For myself, the first change I’d make would be to strike the opening phrase of the Second Amendment so the whole thing reads, “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” There has been too much made of that part of the amendment to try to justify infringement. Make it perfectly clear.

(Did you know that the first part of the 2A is the only place in the entire Constitution that is an explanation rather than just a straightforward setting out of law or procedure? Would have saved a lot of trouble if it had been omitted.)

Other than that, there might be a few things I would tweak, but nothing major in the main body. I have a serious philosophical problem with eminent domain but I haven’t come up with anything better than what’s already there. I’d repeal the 16th & 17th amendments – never should have been proposed, let alone enacted.

I think the framers thought they were helping by offering the 2A explanation that armed people are the final protection of freedom from tyranny, both external and internal, but they obviously underestimated the ability of future “Progressives” to twist their language.

I also would like to see 16 and 17 gone.

Okay, first things first. What happened to Episode One? I eagerly waited until 11:00 AM yesterday, but nothing! Just kidding of course… So, if you really want input from your loyal followers, I would suggest that we must not turn our backs against the bastards who seek to destroy this nation, and look inward as you advise. They aren’t harmless, and will delight in stabbing us in the back at every opportunity. Instead, we should apply the tactic used by Julius Caesar during the Battle of Alesia in 52 BC. After surrounding the “impregnable” hilltop fortress of the Gallic forces under Vercingetorix, Caesar built a timber wall around the fortress to keep the Galls inside, with no hope of receiving additional supplies. Then, when he heard that 200,000 other Gauls were coming to attack him from behind, he contructed another, longer wall outside the first, but facing in the opposite direction to defend his rear. By this extraordinary method he defeated both his opponents, and won the battle. Looking only inward, towards those who are like minded and want to preserve our Republic is fine, but we must guard our rear, against those who would destroy it, as well.

looking inward is not a defensive strategy but an offensive one to find the people necessary for the fight to come to take inventory of our assets and position them appropriately. We need to do this a time to regroup and recover and not be battered by their words and them flaunting their enraging lies. Right now they are celebrating their inevitable victory they have been doing it all year its why so many of them are saying the things they would never have said before. their complete control of social media and their echo chambers makes them think we have no chance that every form of communication is denied us. We look out at them and see that they are like hyenas on top of a pile of corpses. The fight bill is talking about isnt today its the long war and if we are going to fight a seemingly endless battle we need to have strength and courage individually and know that our allies are also ready for the weary struggle to fight without giving up to carry on in the face of outrageous injustice and prevail until the war is won.
The idea that America is an idea that lives in the hearts of her people and not a monument or position of authority is a comforting and also painful one because we might have to let go of those to preserve the idea. We might have to rethink how America and Americans continue to live and eventually overcome those who want her dead.

I think the battle is actually endless, not just seemingly so, because evil never sleeps. I suppose it will never be over until God says it is.

I know this story well and I wrote a 500 +-word essay on Vercingetorix and his dad Celtillus.

It is called EVIL Bill, and yes it has always been with us and will be….. The way it works is just as you described it, show people something nice and shiny, entice them to something that “sounds” good by talking “around” an issue with false details and propaganda. Pull the people in so that they too become vested in the evil. They now become part of the problem and stop any attempts at critical thinking.

Thank you Bill for the outline of our strategy.
It has a lot of good points. I’ll be praying that someone can quickly assemble the machine we need so I can figure out whichever spring or cog is me. God is not confused about the way forward!

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.” (Charles Dickens – A Tale of Two Cities)The Socialist Democratic Party has been at this for a least the last 75 years, patiently waiting as they slowly eroded the basic foundations on which this country was built. They knew very well that they could never achieve their goals by force or militarily, so they invaded the very fabric of our daily lives by infiltrating movies, schools, church and all forms of Media (News, Papers, Magazines, et cetera). They have basically succeeded in every goal but ONE but they are trying their damnedest to strip us of our Second Amendment.
We are in for the long haul here and need to be patient to a certain degree, as they have become very emboldened because of our apathy, laziness & ignorance. To quote Thomas Paine —These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
Thank you Bill, for taking the helm and hopefully leading the charge on this oppositional movement.

I like when Bill said that if we turn to face a new direction—gathering strength and being involved in and defining what our mission is—A time will come when we turn outward and blow these Anti-Americans out of the water. I just had to say it that way because it is not easy to keep from looking over our shoulder to see what treachery the fiends are up to. It is possible that with our new direction, no force of anti-Americanism will have power over us.

Perhaps we HAVE misdirected ourselves. Waiting to hear more….. Thanks Bill.

I disagree with Bill that Joe Biden is not ‘the president’. It’s like saying that because someone grabbed the steering wheel of the car by force, that ‘He is not the driver of the car’ (which is as stupid as saying, ‘Not my driver’), that he can’t take us to a different location or drive into a crowd of innocent bystanders.
Joe Biden, if sworn in, WILL be the President of the Union. This is an important role, and the person holding it (whether legitimately or illegitimately), is world’s most powerful person. This person (president of the union) has power to end the world, as he holds the nuclear football.
If we don’t acknowledge the person in the President’s seat as the President of the Union, then we have no hope in having a control the direction of the country (which, for the next 4 years, he would have the power to control). We designed the system to do that. He does not need our consent for the next 4 years.
Now you can say that, if you acquire the nuclear football illegtimately, then this is no different than terrorists getting their hands on a suitcase nuke. That’s true, BUT, if tomorrow we find out that a foreign country has launched missiles on American cities, we would want Joe Biden to respond to it, and we would NEED to fall behind him (like what happened after 9/11 attacks, the country, even the Gore supporters, fell behind George W Bush).

Let’s say 74 million out of 75 million votes are fraudulent, then obviously, we are in a much worse situation when only 1 million out of 75 million votes of the sitting ‘president’ are fraudulent.

TL;DR: Consider few moves ahead, I don’t want the leave the possibility where if America was under attack, then we don’t have an option to be able to get behind even the illegitimately installed President of the Union.

What power does your acknowledgement give you that bills denial denies him? if an athlete wins by paying off judges or using illegal drugs his title conferred on him is stripped away and he is not the champion. In this case those who would judge that have also been bought by fear or avarice or they are one of those who think they should do this in the best interest of the country. whatever they tell themselves to let them sleep. So the game is rigged you dont play the game… If you keep playing in hopes of winning and lose everything you cannot blame the game you knew the fix was in. I dont have to acknowledge Biden as president to defend my country. Whether i chose to do so or not changes nothing in how i work towards Rebuilding America Better. However it does mean that when Biden strips people of their rights and destroys one American institution after another that it doesnt matter I dont recognize the authority of a fake president to control my life. I dont validate the lies of the media and i wont calmly accept and knuckle under for fear of losing all chance to redeem America. The power of America is its people not one man flaunting his stolen valor.

I’m with you Bill, spreading the word. Many of my friends have been prepping for years and are close to self sufficient. The home schooling is well connected with the community, giving and sharing are a way of life. We need all the encouragement and ideas we can get. Starting to focus on solar to right now for bug out. The effort really started with the onslaught of the China Plague.

We don’t need to abolish “resist”. When Dems call for “unity” we should accept their outreach, and here is you to properly accept:
“You spent four years fantasizing that we had a president who was illegitimately elected amidst foreign interference. You were also believed that our president was not only physically and mentally unable to serve in office, but was also a serial racist and sexual predator. Now, at long last, all of your dreams have come true! Sign me up for the #Resistance! What’s our first task?”

I take that to mean that it’s technically the second episode. Sort of like filing or computing systems that start their index numbers with zero.

There is a heavy stink of narcissism in this country now coming from the left. The only thing that amazes me is how so many narcissists can work together without openly fighting each other. I worked for a narcissistic boss for 13 years only because he paid well as long as you did exactly what he told you to do and not show any personal incentive. I finally stood up to him and lost my job over it.

There has got to be ways of dealing with this type of people that needs to be publicized and acted on. I’ve seen this in action. When they don’t get their way, they totally lose control and start shouting and threatening. Sound familiar? It’s so satisfying when you cause this to happen.

Maybe we just need a lot more of a firm “No! Your assertion is wrong and vile. Go pound sand. You have no credibility or basis for believing what you say/have said.”

Not sure how many times this would have to be directed at the MSM before they reformed their mind set and poor (or none existent) “journalistic” practices.

Isn’t that basically the polite version of Trump’s responses? Just never give them an inch of acceptance or credence.
And let’s not forget to also use Lionelle’s masterful phrase: “Reality Is Not Optional! What you have claimed is not real; it is not reality.”

Luckily they do fight sometimes. Take feminism and transgenderism, for instance. You can’t both believe in feminism and also believe that men can be women, because then there is no such thing as a woman when any woman can choose to be a man, and a man can choose to be a woman. How can you protect women’s rights when there is no such thing?

Take heart when you encounter the internal inconsistencies of the Anti-Americans. They weaken themselves every time they fight over such things because more and more Americans take notice.

Interesting metaphors. It’s of course dangerous to turn your back on an enemy for too long, but I see the value in turning inward for a deliberate moment to focus on our own and think actively, in terms of what we love and are fighting to preserve and nurture, rather than reactively, responding constantly to attacks while potentially neglecting what we mean to protect as well as our ultimate goal of advancing.
One thing I’ve learned about our opponents is that, because they see the world as zero-sum and any gain including happiness as ill-gotten, making their enemies miserable, uncomfortable, and despondent is not just a side effect; it’s a feature — something they see as necessary to obtaining their goals. It’s where “afflict the comfortable” and “épater la bourgeoisie” come from. It would be interesting to see how that plays out with an enemy that suddenly disregards their bitter lunatic rantings because we have better things to do. The screaming child no longer gets the [negative] attention their screaming is designed to provoke.
Opening up a second front behind their lines will also be key. This means taking a long view and actively building successful, thriving alternatives to their rigid, fossilized, dinosaur institutions — ushering in a free future that’s going to be a lot more fun than the life of subservient drudgery they have in mind. The more successful we are in reminding ourselves to think actively, in terms of what we want and long-term plans for getting to it, the more readily and assuredly we will out-maneuver and outflank them.

I like the way you write (and what you have written):
“…because they see the world as zero-sum and any gain including happiness as ill-gotten, making their enemies miserable, uncomfortable, and despondent is not just a side effect; it’s a feature — something they see as necessary to obtaining their goals.”
“…actively building successful, thriving alternatives to their rigid, fossilized, dinosaur institutions — ushering in a free future that’s going to be a lot more fun than the life of subservient drudgery they have in mind.”

Bill, I’d reconsider the idea that we simply stop using the word “resist.” The word and the concept still have a lot of power and symbolism to people on our side and the anti-Americans, I think we help them by letting them own that word and concept, as if they legitimately should. Plus, every successful military campaign needs defensive as well as offensive operations.

You’re right about defense being important too, but I think we’ve been playing a defense-heavy game for far too long. It’s why we’ve only ever been able to slow the rate of growth of the state, and never shrink it in an enduring way. With a purely or largely defensive approach, the boiling frog ultimately becomes dinner. The frog’s only hope is to take initiative and take a leap before it’s too late. I think eschewing the use of “resistance” is a response to those observations, and it seems much more likely to me that we’ll succeed if, instead of focusing largely on “resisting” (digging in and trying not to lose ground), we do an end run around their whole line. There’s certainly use for noncompliance in making the whole thing work, but past experience suggests to me that we should avoid making that our sole or even primary focus.

When the timing is right, maybe we can schedule a zoom call so we can assess what talents we have amongst us that can best support this effort? For instance, I have a high-end iMac with access to all Adobe products. I only work part-time, so I’d have a fair amount of time to contribute. Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this.

Hi Julieann
Great idea! I’ve got a lot of office skills that could be put to good use.
I am retired and have some obligations, but since I will be weaning myself from social media soon, I will have some time to contribute as well!
