thanks for the ping, excellent article.
I’m interested in your comment, can you enlighten me further? Thanks.
Or hints at it very broadly...
Back when Bill Ayers was setting bombs, and killing more of his friends than he did police officers, the Weather underground had been extensively penetrated by the FBI. They were penetrated, but still were able to operate, because the FBI wasn’t very good at it. Being undercover is very stressful, and the FBI officers undercover felt like they were about ready to be dragged out and killed if caught. But the Weather underground knew that would get them more FBI agents, as well as setting themselves up for prosecution.
The Weather Underground used a different approach. They would have long wordy discussions, full of Marxist theory, and the FBI agents would get impatient, and advocate violent actions. If any of the violent actions went to preparation, the FBI agent would break cover, and the ring would be arrested (and his stressful undercover time would end with a promotion). His incentive was to get the show on the road. They would then arrange for him to stay in the outer circle, so no new agents would come. Planning would take place within the inner circle.
Because of that history, I am always a bit suspicious of people advocating violence against the new Leftist overlords. They would love to have a fight now that they control the levers of power. They want to get a fight started so they can blame it on us, and they can justify the crack down. They always anticipated killing a quarter of the US, that was 25 million back when Bill Ayers was setting his bombs. Now it would be closer to 30 million. That is the level of ruthlessness that they have.
The good news is they can’t run the country as well with their command economy. The market is efficient, and produces new information that guides production and consumption. Command economies are inefficient, and everything they take over gets worse. Their slips show, and their show slips. So long as we don’t give them the excuse to disarm us, they have to convince people. They can’t do that and screw up too.
Pol Pot killed about 25% of the population of Cambodia, the most productive and educated in the country. Some of these people think that is a good example.
Thanks for the link on the FReepathon thread!
Yep....I just figured you guys are so busy over here keeping things running I didn’t want you to miss that important read...it certainly shed some light on my frustrations.
You’re right and thank you so much, again!
I don’t think it should be a so called “Fight”...I think we should do just as Egypt did....get Cruz and our Military in our court and then march to demand the resignation of Obama and the Senate! Perhaps even the House....
Takes a lot of planning and doing but if Egypt could do it why couldn’t we?
Thank you so much for that insightful response. Very interesting and kinda creepy!
Greenfield is topnotch. The best.
