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.

In this scenario the state is forgotten? Cannot a state declare itself a sovereign? Why must every Civil War scenario be fake?
What’s your sense of the “bad guys” in this scenario? I saw this the other day and just went back and viewed it again - a bit closer this time - to see if I could tell what their perspective was. I couldn’t.
Are the pubbies the bad guys? The dhimmicrats? From their website I saw this: “We know this is a story that must not be contaminated by big-dollar corporate interests, so it is our intention to keep it an independent project.” So perhaps it is simply an anti-authoritarian (everybody is bad except me) piece.
I’ll continue to watch as it progresses. It may turn out to be worthwhile. Or it could become as silly as Red Dawn II.
