you guys might want to read some dispassionate history on the collapse of the roman empire circa 300 thru 600 AD
this is more the likely scenario at least as far as empires go.
of course here it won't take as long as 300 hundred years.
The subjugation and death of Americans will not come from within as the communist predict.
but from without as the wealth of america is stolen and wasted
leaving the population without protection.
then as sections are sold off you won't have to worry about the present regime cause you won't be under it's jurisdiction.

"Frankly i haven't seen one shred of evidence that any armed group has formed any where in america. "

What do you call millions of Americans who have purchased military class weapons and who believe it is fixin' to come down? No, they don't have a lot of meetings or leaders. They have no agenda other than protecting themselves and their families - they believe in freedom. That's what drives the govt crazy.

There is another kind of milita too, that people are finally noticing. Even the Dept of Education has it's own "intervention (swat) teams". As does the Bureau of Fisheries and Hatcheries, Post Office, Homeland Sec, BATF, FBI etc ad aphabetium.

Those people are mercenaries organized as a paramilitary militia to serve and protect the state. There are hundreds of thousands of them training constantly and looking for a chance to be as macho as they can. They now include veterans of street fighting in Iraq and have military grade weapons. SWAT teams are used routinely for tasks like serving warrents for unpaid parking tickets...

The inner city gangs are thought to have crew serverd weapons in LA and Chicago, maybe Detroit. Both cities have enlisted gang banger assistance on 'neighborhood projects.' Gang bangers outnumber the cops by a substantial margin and politicians are nothing if not opportunists. Is somebody choosing up sides?

And dig it - well fed? Please. Americans currently eat too much. When Z-Day comes Americans will wake up to the fact that the trucks aren't running and there is only three days worth of food supply on hand in the average city. We will not be eating too much then.

This racial Reichstag Fire nonsense they are playing with could kick it off, the various nations we're kicking around overseas could pull off a big stunt, the currency ultimately will collapse, probably sooner rather than later. I call that dicey.

It's a tinderbox, waiting for a match. We are reliving 1914 and the Archduke is getting into his car to ride over to Sarejevo. Only this time 'the lights are going out here, not just Europe.

I think it's naive not to see it coming.


Ever heard of Hayden Lake Idaho?


There are at least a dozen scenarios I can think of that would kick off massive urban warfare...and I'm sure there are more that I haven't thought about.

As a Texan, I can tell you that it won't take much more pushing from the Fed before we are fed up enough to fight. We prefer freedom over life itself.

Personally I don't own a gun and have no desire to ever kill anyone...but that could change if people are coming to kill my family for a gallon of water, gas, or food.

well, buying guns is not the same as forming a militia,
and meeting in your basement is not the same as digging a foxhole or building a barricade.

driving the government crazy by owning a gun is a myth that keeps you giving your money to arms manufactures.
and as your an advocate of such things I'm quite sure you've noticed the prices of this hobby!
and the availability of ammunition, your little militia won't be in business very long without bullets.
if you want to tell your self that your part of some grand army that has no general, well that's your affair I suppose.
armies that have no leadership are just as likely to shoot themselves as anybody else.
that's probably why the government feels it needs to keep an eye on you.

I own a colt, it's for an home invader not a policeman or a federal agent.
it's a black powder I don't have to register it and the government doesn't
want me to give it up.
of course it is silly to own a gun really if your wife or daughter won't use it, the hoodlum won't break in while I'm home of course, they will wait till I'm away.

as for valuing freedom over life :D we'll see the second coming 1st
as I recall obama carried Texas in the last election.
I'd be willing to bet good money he dose so again this fall
that dying for freedom stuff is only fun in mell gibson movies.
the volunteer count will be well below the internet projections.

It's hard to believe how uninformed some people are to what is happening all around them. But if everyone saw what is on the horizon, it wouldn't have gotten this far. A lot of folks will wake up some day to find that they have sold their kids into slavery through their ignorance of what is going on in America today. Whoever receives a prophet will receive that prophets reward.

It is difficult to tell who the enemy will be. I haven't noticed anything rational going on lately so the whole ball of wax may just unravel.

As to ammo? Not a problem. You'd be surprised how many of us own swords. :D

It's a zombie thing...

Right.

JCP61 wrote:driving the government crazy by owning a gun is a myth that keeps you giving your money to arms manufactures.


I've never heard of anyone wanting a gun because it drives the government crazy.
The friction is over a portion of the government wanting to do away with the rite to keep and bear arms.

It is "you're", not "your"

JCP61 wrote:and the availability of ammunition, your little militia won't be in business very long without bullets.


There will be bullets as long as there is money or goods available to trade for bullets.
Also, the 'government' does not make ammunition; private companies and corporations do.

The government feels a need to keep an eye on you because of money and control.



You're quite the curmudgeon.

Hmmm...so you are not only naive, you are delusional?


No....Obama won 1 county in Texas. He won't get that one again.

Obama did something I could never do in 20 years of trying. He turned my dad into a Republican.

You obviously don't know a Texan.

You don't know jack about Texas.



There is a reason why we were an independent nation who decided to join the USA, and there is a reason why we will lead if a revolution becomes necessary.

Once a month, there are about 2,000 people who gather at the State Capitol building in Texas to demand secession. Most Texans don't support that at the moment, but we reserve the right to change our minds.

We have the most diversified economy in this nation. We are leaders in high-technology (the computer chip was invented here), produce more military weaponry and technology plants, control the national strategic reserves and energy, the headquarters of space exploration, and we used to have the highest per-capita rate of millionaires (might still, not sure) so financing isn't a problem. The Texas National Guard is the largest standing military outside of the US military and we have the largest Army base.

We don't want a fight...but if a fight comes we are prepared.

Lilly-livered liberals always "misunderestimate" us. We allow that on purpose.

you forgot about the part where Texas also has the most beautiful women... and it still takes 3 days to cross from west to east ...not because we don't have cars than can do it 12 hours, (with some of the best built highways in the nation...).\ but because Texas is THAT beautiful, and it compels motorists to take their time on occasion :)

...JCP61 ... I thank you for your posts. You display "interesting" and "revealing" perspectives though at times rather puzzling to me at least. In some ways you remind me of someone who is obsessed with "cleaning up" graffiti but never taking the time to read it. The invention of taxes goes against the reasons which founded this country ... I thought everyone knew that ? If one chooses to contribute to the lying, murdering and theft worldwide by supporting the "government", then it is of course one's right ... but condemning those who do not to jail shows only that to some extent the "Brainwashing" and "Dumbing Down" has been successful.

Your knowledge of "hollow point" ammunition although interesting in it's "safer use" in the cities seems not to address why Homeland Security "needs" over 4 million rounds ... to kill ... who ??? Also you fail to mention why it is hollow point nor the damage done to humans and animals when it is "used safely". The history note on plexiglass once again while mildly interesting does not explain or address why bullet proof booths are somehow needed so extensively in this country domestically ?

"Enemy of the State" is most certainly not a silly phrase. I speak of not other countries that you mention but of the US and this moment and in the near future. A pitiful attempt ??? To decieve ??? Ignorant and idle minds ? Please put the multitude of other postings in response here into perspective with reality.

Research the centralization if you truly are not aware of it ... the linking of information and data bases and the availability of it all to police and the federal government .. is all undeniable. This is no fantasy but simple reality ... the government is no longer the government you think it is. None of this has anything to do with ego and your statements regarding "wishing to be important enough to be watched" ... where do you get this crap from ??? "eating your heart out" only proves that your current state of unawareness could use a little work and thought ... once again read and think about the other posts here.

The inmates I speak of are all considered "enemies of the state" and it is very hard to rationalize your statement in this regard ? Civil War ... READ THE OTHER POSTS. We all know what civil war is in relation to the current situation in the US and let me give you "a hint" ... it will most definately not involve "almost equally armed political factions". It will not be a game, a movie or a think tank scenario. Most of the killing will not be in street battles either. No one is truly ready not even the "government" who is actually the advocator of it. "Be a man step up"??? What on earth are you talking about ??? April 10 I just turned 60 yrs. No I am not jealous of Jesus and is Etu going to have to explain this to you ?

Yod ... as usual you are honest, insightful and sincere. I thank you for your posts and ability to understand not only what I say but further what is actually happening now. The Constitution does state that everyone is in the militia and it is their responsibility to overthrow a government that has become tyrannical. Obviously JCP61 has not been watching enough Fox News or reading and understanding the Constitution.

Paper Dog ... Excellent and thought provoking as usual. The entire "Gang" thing I feel has become another catch phrase and used in the same manner as terrorist.

Slacker G ... very well said and stated. The US Constitution will not "fail" but the people may and in this sense I agree with JCP61.

gtZip ... what you say is very relevant and insightful. There will be no internet if "a national emergency is declared" JCP61 ... the KILL SWITCH. The shutting down of coal plants in Texas several months ago demonstrated what the government will do. I believe that no rational human wants to use nukes or in fact will even do so if ordered to but perhaps someone with a burning hole in their mind, one who is really jealous of Jesus might ??? more coming Ta
