After reading this and watching the video of your interview, I fear I may never have another good night sleep. The chilling detail of ‘how’ this will do down, is more than I know how to cope with - currently. I’ll find my inner fortitude again, but holy cr** your words freaked me out!
Want to read the possible end state? Read “Alas, Brave New Babylon,” a short story I wrote in 2013.
Is it a happier ending?! I’ve made a note, somehow I thought I did read your book, but I’ve been swimming in reading material so I may be mistaken.
Not happy at all.
Oh crap! I best read it when someone is near to hold my hand! I often wonder why the heck I was born at THIS time, there is more madness than my mind can comprehend. Maybe throughout history past generations felt the same.
Thank you for putting all your hard work into what you do to provide clarity to the unfolding nightmare.
It is very concerning that our betters, in the form of our nation's legislators and judges, read the 2d A as narrowly as possible and insist that the right to bear is only for self-defense. Further, that government is free to restrict the use of arms to within one's residence and the choice of arms to those that provide in the opinion of the betters, the minimal means of protection.
Of course, the 2d says nothing at all about being limited to self-defense or any restrictions.
OTOH, those same betters ignore or gloss over the 1400 year record of a murderous cult and with no difficulty see it as a "religion" that deserves lst A protection.

You do good, Matt. But this one's better:. Dan Simmons, The Time Traveller, from 2006
Needs a sound track. Right here you go!

Heads UP!
You’ve been framed!
Congrats!

Matt, this Tet Take Two Essay hits the nail on the head.
Far too many people will be uncomfortable with it because they cannot imagine such things happening...but they are not living out the horrors that are occurring in Europe and represent the initial incoming tide of what you describe.
I have talked to many friends in Europe and the beginnings are all there...and the three factions you describe are all in play in spades.
Heck, the very idea of various countries banning your essay is simply more evidence of the same.
In the end, in this nation, as you say, our Constitution and Bill of rights, particularly buttressed by the second amendment can be our salvation...and I will add a 3rd, which you inferred in your essay.
“Thank God.”, As you say, thank God in Heaven. He is aware of all of this, and He has telegraphed the end game of it to all of us.
As Patrick Henry said...and I believe that he and other founders who attributed what they did to Him were correct...”There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations.”
This remains true in 2016 just as it did in 1776, The combination of our reliance on Him, of our defending our unalienable rights with the weapons we have, and our continued liberal use of our free speech to point out what is happening and warn and educate others, will allow us to carry the day.
IMHO, it will take all three of those, exercised in great abundance to do so.
PING!
A good read.
