I think a direct and blatant action which disreguards the the either of the first two bill of rights by the government is a decent indicator "time to go / activate leaving city plans, etc "..
Of course they could go with breaking the Third and start Quartering illegals in Tea Party member houses.....
What are some other "Go Signs" that should be considered?
Travis mcGee has a story that covers this scenario perfectly but the name escapes me. Freepmail him on it.
You’ll know when sites like Free Republic are suddenl
What I find interesting are two sayings, "history repeats itself" and, "there is nothing new under the sun" while, at the same time, there is the warning that if an army fights its current war as it fought its last war it will surely lose.
Perhaps we will find multiple "Go Signals", that apply to us today, in the history of Germany, 1920-1936.
I would consider any action that results in the widespread freezing/seizing of bank accounts and or state approved ID (e.g. Drivers’ licenses) to be the sign that things are ramped up and unstopppable.
Reminds me of the time Rush Limbaugh said, (I paraphrase)—” I’ll let you know when it’s time to panic.”
This was back when he had an interesting show.
I don’t listen to him much anymore—tired of the book-talk and sports-talk.
Not that I’m awaiting anything HE says, but he sure has backed off the interesting topics and may have forgotten he said it. (or, he’s just too comfortable to rock his own $- boat.)
I think that if you are looking at Bugging out at all, then you should seriously think of moving to your bug-out location permanently. Otherwise there are way to many outside influences that will effect your ability to succeed in your efforts to ‘go’.
Depends on what follows “go” for you. For the most part we are well past it.
When the illegals start marching and protesting in the streets, get out of the city before the riots.
Once the riots start you can be guaranteed there will be terrorist attacks following.
2014 mid-terms “Democrats retain control of Senate, take House”
2016 “any name” (D) wins Presidential Election
2014 Midterm elections postponed/cancelled due to (whatever)
“Come register for your state issued ID and EBT card and chip implant procedure, citizen. Your cash and coin are now worthless. Bring any personal firearms and ammunition in your possession with you to surrender in exchange for your card.”
Conservative talk show hosts are working for out financial elite masters.
If they are arrested it will only be for a show to get conservative sheeple whipped up into a frenzy and do something stupid.
It will obviously also be a ratings bonanza for the network with the person arrested.
Once again, things happen slowly step by step.
Gun confiscation.
That’s when I grab up a backpack, and go fight.
A Homeland Security guy I sat next to on a plane said what you need is a motorcycle to get out of town, and a planned place to meet.
Don’t know about a “Go Signal”, but a place for the likeminded to meet would be smart.
All banks and bank accounts nationalized under the control of Janet Yellin
I think we already missed the GO signal when Obama “piss be upon him” was re-elected.
OK, you see the Go Signal and you go.
What are you going to do when you get there? How long will it be better there than where you are?
Google the phrase, “Cast down your bucket where you are,” and be inspired.
What I have heard called the plan began as idle office chat, nothing more. (Of course, not much chat is ever truly idle at the very highest levels of power, between senior presidential advisors.) The first time I heard it mentioned was over lunch with Dennis in the White House Mess, down in the basement next to the situation room. We were at a quiet corner table of the wood-paneled dining room, tossing ideas for the next talking points back and forth. Routine.
One of right-wing hate radios loudest and most poisonous voices was conducting an embarrassing public feud with our press secretary. The President had trapped himself in a seeming contradiction. The video and audio were both damning, and one must admit, very funnyif ones goal was to make the President look and sound like a liar and a fool. The Youtube videos were getting millions of hits; the TV comics were not letting it go. We had been knocked completely off message, the optics were horrible, and our favorability ratings were collapsing at a crucial moment. (It seems like an ice-age ago when such trivialities actually mattered to me.)
I said something offhandedly to Dennis. I just wish we could get rid of those bastards, once and for all.
He stared at me for a long time, chewing on his second BLT sandwich until the Navy steward retreated from range, and then he said, Actually, Jacinda, there is sort of a plan for that.
What do you mean, a plan for that?
He explained that it was nothing formal, and there was nothing in writing. Nor would there ever be. It was just a concept he had come up with, along with a few other trusted colleagues and advisors. An idea. They had gamed out various scenarios. We could solve our problems with molding public opinion if we removed just a few dozen key right-wing opinion makers. That was the exact word he used, removed. That was last spring, and I put it off as a harmless thought experiment. I didnt hear anything more about it for several months.
Then one day after another media talking points session in the mess, Dennis said, Remember the plan we were talking about? You know, we really could do it.
Are you serious?
The timing would have to be just right. Mainly, it would depend on external events.
Remembering the numbers from our earlier conversation, I told him that removing a few dozen of the worst reactionaries wouldnt change anything. Other fast-talking right wingers would just take their places. Except they would be angrier than ever.
Not dozens. He paused. Around two thousand, actually.
The new number shocked me. Thats not possible.
No, its very possible. Weve studied it from every angle.
Clearly, he knew more about a plan than he was letting on. Nobody was closer to the President than the two of us and his wife, and I had heard nothing from the boss, not even a hint. Youre making this up. Youre not serious. Is it a joke, or a test? I wasnt born yesterday. I had to be careful. This was dangerous territory, when any spoken word could be recorded almost anywhere. Trust in a man like Dennis was a very slender reed upon which to cling.
No, Im very serious, he said. Heres how we came up with two thousand. I was given a copy of a new law enforcement software program, one that Justice had for testing and evaluation. A refinement of the social networking analysis stuff. Data-mining, all of that. We put it on a clean computer, adjusted it for our own parameters, and made the list. We tried it at different levels from ten up to ten thousand. The optimal number for the greatest effect with the least initial disruption came in at about two thousand.
I shook my head and said, Dennis, its crazy to even talk about it.
I think we’re at least a decade passed this point already.
