Looks interesting and on topic for our ping list. The discussion of scenarios like this seems to have come from the darkest corners of the back net to front and center these days.
Gray State the movie trailer.
CWII PING LIST:
The CWII Ping List is short for Civil War II. It is NOT a list of people advocating another Civil War in America. It is a list of people who are interested in the parallels between the Civil War (or War Between the States, if you prefer) and our current situation, or more generally are noting the references to a 'coming Civil War' that are made in the press.
The correct keyword tag for the Civil War II ping list is "CWII".
Please Freep Mail me to get on the list
Here is the web site for the movie, which doesn't have a lot more detail than the YouTube clip.
...My God
It’s something from out of my nightmares.
Let's get this over with.
Well-done trailer. Hope to have a chance to see the film some day. Thanks.
I’d be interested in being on this ping list, BTW. Thanks.
For later. Thank you, Mr. Black.
They're have the perfect anti-American, thug mentality, stupid and willing to pull the trigger on whomever their masters point at.
Put camo on an SEIU thug, give him an M-4 and there we are.
Wow, what timing right before the election!

The GRAY STATE Project
The world reels with the turmoil of war, geological disaster, and economic collapse, while Americans continue to submerge themselves in illusions of safety and immunity. While rights are sold for security, the federal government, swollen with power, begins a systematic takeover of liberty in order to bring about a New World Order.
Americans, quarantined to militarized districts, become a population ripe for tyrannical control.
Fearmongering, terrorism, police state, martial law, war, arrest, internment, hunger, oppression, violence, resistance - these are the terms by which Americans define their existence. Neighbor is turned against neighbor as the value of the dollar plunges to zero, food supplies are deployed, and everyone becomes a terror suspect. There are arrests. Disappearances. Bio attacks. Public executions of those even suspected of dissent. Even rumors of concentration camps on American soil.
This is the backdrop to an unfolding story of resistance. American militias prepare for guerilla warfare. There are mass defections from the military as true Patriots attempt to rally around the Constitution and defend liberty, preparing a national insurgency against federal forces, knowing full well this will be the last time in history the oppressed will be capable of organized resistance.
It is a time of transition, of shifting alliance, of mass awakening and mass execution. It is an impending storm, an iron-gray morning that puts into effect decades of over-comfort and complacency, and Americans wake up to an occupied homeland. It is a time of lists. Black list, white list, and those still caught in the middle, those who risk physical death for their free will and those who sell their souls to maintain their idle thoughts and easy comforts. It is in this Gray State that the perpetuation of human freedom will be contested, or crushed.
Is it the near future, or is it the present? The Gray State is coming - by consent or conquest. This is battlefield USA.
Encompassing the world of conspiracy theory, economic collapse, global disaster, end-time prophecies, martial law, and growing civil unrest, GRAY STATE is a piercing look into the immediate future in which the withered remains of freedom are traded for an impression of security.
GRAY STATE is the reality that can no longer be ignored. It is coming - by consent or conquest.
THE GRAY STATE IS COMING.
DONE!
Thanks.
You're Welcome!

Teriffic!
Yep - More and more open discussion about the police state tyrants.
Goes a long way to explaining the DHS purchase of 450 million rounds of .40 hollow point ammo, the drones for domestic use, etc.
Look into your future and despair.
In this scenario the state is forgotten? Cannot a state declare itself a sovereign? Why must every Civil War scenario be fake?

What is the plan for the Gray State Concept Trailer?
This film is an extremely ambitious independent project being shot in the Twin Cities, Minnesota. Following the many models of success film has for projects made outside of the Hollywood system, Gray State is seeking the funding it needs before plunging into production.
Gray State was conceived in November of 2010 by David Crowley and Danny Mason. The scale and nature of the material indicated that not only did they have an obligation to craft a human story out of the morass, but they had an obligation to tell it properly, far from the typical financial hangups that have become the convention for independent film. They began the process by first developing the narrative through months of slow revisions, and then in the summer of 2011, forged ahead with shooting a concept trailer.
Many films that have particular visuals or unique plotlines first invest in concept material that can be used as a tool to gather funding from interested parties. Gray State is no different. What WAS different was the unanticipated explosion of interest Gray State gathered from the local film community who participated in the shoot. This buzz spawned throughout the area via word of mouth, steam-rolling into an unprecedented movement of interest that has already reached national attention in some circuits, and this was before the concept trailer was even released.
The filmmakers have barely been able to control the hype, and now, over a year since the shoot, they are finally ready to release the trailer and begin the national campaign to gather the funding they need to push this extremely popular concept into a brilliant and commercially viable feature film.
Thousands of films, even the ones that reach production, never see the light of day through various failings of the filmmakers to market, promote, and distribute the films. Thousands more filmmakers sit on projects that are never even made, having no marketable tools to show that A) their film is a good idea, and B) that they can pull it off. The Gray State team fully intends to harness the amazing capabilities of the MN film community and prove that they can beat Hollywood at its own game - first, through showing a concept trailer.

It’s a good concept trailer.
Do I think that it could come true? The words possible and probable come to mind. Is it possible? Yes , it’s possible. Is it Probable? That’s a tricky one. Under certain circumstance, Yes it’s probable, but only under some really severe ones.
Do I think that the Government would use force on the citizens? Yes, I certainly do, they’ve already done it. Waco comes to mind right off.
Would the citizens fight back? Probably not in the beginning, most people only fight back when there’s nothing left to lose I’ve found. Or if they are highly motivated to save their lives or the lives of their loved ones.
So, let us pray that this sort of scenario never happens. Or most of us who survived will be in a Gulag wishing we had fought back while we still outnumbered the Bureaucrats and their faceless/anonymous minions.
They won't need to.
It would be a combination of unmanned drones for the strategic stuff which would only need a hand full of "loyal" soldiers and ChiComs under U.N. command for urban combat.
The Chinese would easily tolerate a one-to-one loss of their soldiers for every American and still have 700 million people left over.
Interview with David Crowley and Danny Mason
I would say they are from the Ron Paul part of the political spectrum. They go right ahead and call Obama and Hillary traitors in the interview, so I wouldn't say they are typical lefties.
The blue helmets will make fine targets.
Please add me to your ping list.
PATRIOTS are not "Revolutionaries" trying to overthrow the government of the United States.
PATRIOTS are "Counter-Revolutionaries" trying to prevent the government of the United States, from overthrowing the Constitution of the United States.

I think we can be pretty sure that governments of the blue states, places like Oregon and Washington where I live, will kneel down to lick the boots of whoever the FedGov tyrant sends in as the appointed regent for our zone.
I don't imagine purple states, lets say Wisconson which currently has a lot of GOPers running it, but a ton of lefty Democratic trash in it - they won't do much better.
So you are left with Dixie, and the Empty Quarter states like North Dakota and Wyoming. And Texas. Might some of them act on a state level? How quickly would the Obama regime take out dissident lawmakers and Governors in places like Wyoming if they didn't like the direction that state was heading.
It's not like 1860 where you can sit safely 600 miles away from DC and calmly plot your secession in open session, with occassional letters informing FedGov what's happening. We live in world of Rapid Response.
So, I don't know. So far the states, even the red states have been gutless. I guess Montana held out on speed limits for a while. I'm not expecting much from any of them, sadly.
We who oppose them are counter-revolutionaries.
Done!
FedGov™'s standing army of 500K(and shrinking) isn't going to occupy any single state. Let alone the entire South. That would require an Army of 10 million. Do the math.
Serving the Republic isn’t the same a serving someone, but then I believe you know that. Are you feeling a bit surly today?
What if, after some sort of collapse than brings about hunger in America, Obama, or someone like him, arms inner city types who already hold a generational grudge against those whom they've been told to blame for their poverty? That army would make the SEIU look like the Red Cross.
The New Black Panthers writ large.
You can build for yourself a nice AR15 for under $600 now, if you get at it before little barry bastard commie’s thugocracy shuts it down in 2013 and 2014.
Despair? Why?
It hasn’t happened yet. It won’t happen as portrayed in various books and movies. And the outcome is far from certain.
Live free or die. Death is not the worst of evils...
Mack: Shame what this town’s come to.
Charley Waite: You could do something about it.
Mack: What? We’re freighters. Ralph here’s a shopkeeper.
Charley Waite: You’re men, ain’t you?
Mack: I didn’t raise my boys just to see ‘em killed.
Charley Waite: Well you may not know this, but there’s things that gnaw at a man worse than dying.
From the Movie: ‘Open Range’
Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is.
Well, that would be a pleasant surprise. We could finish that in short order.
Putting cammo on a thug doesn’t make him a soldier. The things that make our troops so dangerous to their enemy have nothing to do with their uniforms...
Also, how do you replace pilots and techies with unionistas? There are a LOT of techies in the military and the mechanized forces will quickly grind to a halt without ‘em.
This is a chance to put a few bucks in the hands of a truly patriotic indy film maker. This would help educate the masses.
I wouldn’t write Wyoming off just yet. My sister and brother live there so I visit. In their town regular folks walk around armed, pistols/revolvers in cowboy type hip holsters. I can’t speak to Jackson where alot of Hollywood types live, but on the eastern side not too many happy with the current regime.
” It is they who are the revolutionaries, over-throwing the inhereted form of our Republic and replacing it with a mish-mash of socialism, direct democracy and rule by supreme executive.
We who oppose them are counter-revolutionaries. “
Fact!
I think this is on the wish list of some statists to be sure. In fact, I think the Washington government will die in a similar manner and for similar reasons as the Politburo, and will be just as mourned when it does.
“I was thinking, “Where will they get US military members who would do such things?”
And then it occurred to me: They militarize the unions.”
Gangs. That is how the Bosheviks and others did it, regardless of politics. It would be fractious, but immediate.
In the early morning hours there's a din in the air; mayhem's on the loose.
Stormtroopers comin', and you better be prepared. Got no time to choose.
Get ready. Stormtroopers comin'.
Comin' up that street, jackboots steppin' high. Got to make a stand.
Looking in your windows and listen to your phone. Keep a gun in your hand.
Get ready. Stormtroopers comin'.
Get ready. Stormtroopres comin' around.
Two hundred down, and it's comin' 'round again. Got no second choice.
Where's the justice and where's that law. Raise your healthy voice.
Get ready. Stormtroopers comin'.
We'll be ready. Stormtroopers comin'.
Getting ready. Stormtroopers comin'.
Get ready. Stormtroopers comin'.

Hiya! Sorry, I wasn’t meaning my link as a jab at you, at all. I was meaning it as an agreement.
Serving the Republic, which after all was founded with acknowledgement of the Creator in our first and most sacred document, is to me, synonymous with serving the Lord.
Where as being a leftist, trying to overthrow our Republic and supporting socialist trash like Obama is clearly serving the Devil.
But, yes, I’m feeling surly today.
