If provoking confrontation is indeed the endgame, the logical next step would be trying to shut down the interstate highway system.
“If this is their calculation, it is a diabolical plan indeed. But a plan to ride a tiger is not the same as riding the tiger. Permanent rule by emergency decree may not be as simple to accomplish as would-be left-wing tyrants believe. Millions of Americans will not be fooled by the deliberately instigated torching of our cities and will not go quietly into the night of Marxist tyranny.”
Excellent post. I think you are right. The king will up the ante until a violent reaction occurs. First, it is in his nature because he thrives on the conflict. Second, because it furthers his plans to become totalitarian.
They are not merely trying to sabotage the economy, in the same way that Hitler didn’t just order the Reichstag burnt.
The point is to plausibly blame their enemies in order to scapegoat them.
“Tea Party terrorists” in Congress who refused to budge on the debt limit will be blamed for the riots that follow a cutoff of welfare benefits.
And by extension, all Constitutional conservatives.
Will the bankers pull the trigger?
It only works if they can successfully shift the blame. They’re losing that battle so far. If they can’t win that messaging, the last thing they want to do is to take away the goodies from their favored groups.
Of course, they’d cut ‘em off in a heartbeat if they were sure the Tea Party would be blamed.
Cut off food stamps and Katy bar the door!
the memory of the most well publicized violent events of recent weeks ...none of which were engaged in by Conservatives....will be morphed.....
none of this mess is merely coincidental
He’s got an army of young SOBs who will pull the triggers and play the knockout game without interruption. The Khmer Rouge was just a precursor to the Obama Noir....
Just looked through an interesting book sent to me by some salivating lefty, “How to kill”. They still think it’s a game.
Apropos nothing, what’s the price per inch of detcord, and can it be as good homemade?
Actually there is one valuable lesson conservatives can learn from William Ayers.
Its the fact that his violence destroyed his movement. The mistake was in being lenient with them and letting them ooze away to plan for the future.
Thanks. Emailed on to non-freepers that they might learn and pass it along.
Will Obama Stop the Music This November?
In 1933 Hitler’s agents burned the Reichstag, not just to sow fear and confusion, but primarily in order to charge his Communist enemies with treason as an excuse to obliterate them. The German “mainstream media” dutifully parroted the Nazi Party line, without investigating the true source of the arson.
A similar pattern of scapegoating has been followed in the United States throughout the term of President Obama.

Permanent rule by emergency decree may not be as simple to accomplish as would-be left-wing tyrants believe.

Thanks, Travis McGee.
This shutdown is just a test to see what his storm troopers will do.
Highways filled with cars stalled or abandoned will block many well traveled roads.
When it comes to " spooks " and politics ,..
Keep your eyes and ears open.
