The Coming Storm
Short Essay | 1/1/13 | William of Barsoom

Posted on 01/01/2013 8:36:24 AM PST by William of Barsoom

I am an American.

I was born that way. In a small town in New England right at the end of World War II, in which my father was a submariner. We weren’t rich at all -- we were just regular people. When my turn came it was called Vietnam.

More important than election day, is the activism. Big groups of us not going to take it anymore. I think the tone would have to be much more stern than before.

We come back under a different name because the commies and the media have demonized the “tea party” brand.

Other than doing the above, things do not look so good for the future. We haven’t much time because Obamacare is designed to get rid of those who know the truth.

Amen. Get in the lifeboat.

What we need is a national religious reawakening. Every minister should be preaching this from the pulpit.

Jeff Stone, supervisor of Riverside County, has been trying to form a 51st state with other inland and southern counties (excluding LA county). He won’t succeed, but we understand and appreciate his attempt.

There is very little reporting of this, even in California media.

There were Jews who stayed in Europe hoping for the best when Hitler came to power, anti-communist Cubans who stayed when Castro took over, and Christian Copts who remain in Egypt hoping the Muzzies will spare them.

To call Americans expats “cowards” is to miss the point. When a tipping point is reached, remaining serves no purpose. A needless death or incarceration by the enemy is not more heroic than fleeing such to live to fight another day. Better to regroup abroad than be dumped in a gulag or mass grave.

Why is the tea party “brand” ruined? It’s just a name. If you think it’s damaged, the next one will be as well.

Really all the folks in California or NYC have the value of one soldier? I imagine a lot of soldiers would agree with you.

This is what you sound like...The infidels in America are not worth the Life of one holy warrior said the imam...

I'm expecting individuals to start a guerrilla war in various places around the country this year. And I'm expecting a lot of freepers to be really upset about it, and to encourage people to wait until 2016

I am quite sure that war is coming. When, where, how, whom, are all unknowns.

To have a chance at victory, the armed forces have to be split. If the chain of command remains intact, the rebels cannot resist.

I'm sure that Obama's dream (or the dream of whoever is pulling his strings) is to provoke a rebellion a) without the proper political work having been done first, and b) which rebellion does something outrageous, capable of uniting sheeple and armed forces to purpose the rebels' extermination.

In the words of a great man, I'm too old to go bushwhacking. But for those who have become convinced that a reboot is required, and who are prepared to see it through, the first thing to do is to organize a political movement or party like Sinn Fein or Fatah, able to move in and out of direct action like a sailboat tacking before the wind, because there are going to be winds.

And, there has to be a leader. In the words of another historical figure, sailing the sea depends on the helmsman.

Perhaps the man who can accomplish our restoration is already living, perhaps not.

One thing is for sure. Waste no more pennies, and no more tears, on the "official" opposition.

Word to the wise Sedition is still a crime in this country and if you get charged you’re in a world of legal trouble.

And don’t expect the keyboard commandos on this thread to help with your legal fees. Step away from the internet and enjoy your life and reality.
