IF I WANTED AMERICA TO FAIL...



THIS IS EXCELLENT...DON'T KNOW HOW I DIDN'T FIND IT BEFORE...BUT HERE IT IS NOW

If I Wanted America To Fail ...
To follow, not lead; to suffer, not prosper; to despair, not dream.
I would start with energy.
I'd cut off America's supply of cheap, abundant energy. I couldn't take it by force. So, I'd make Americans feel guilty for using the energy that heats their homes, fuels their cars, runs their businesses, and powers their economy.
I'd make cheap energy expensive, so that expensive energy would seem cheap.
I would empower unelected bureaucrats to all-but-outlaw America's most abundant sources of energy. And after banning its use in America, I'd make it illegal for American companies to ship it overseas.
If I wanted America to fail ...
I'd use our schools to teach one generation of Americans that our factories and our cars will cause a new Ice Age, and I'd muster a straight face so I could teach the next generation that they're causing Global Warming.
And when it's cold out, I'd call it Climate Change instead.
I'd imply that America's cities and factories could run on wind power and wishes. I'd teach children how to ignore the hypocrisy of condemning logging, mining and farming - while having roofs over their heads, heat in their homes and food on their tables. I would never teach children that the free market is the only force in human history to uplift the poor, establish the middle class and create lasting prosperity.
Instead, I'd demonize prosperity itself, so that they will not miss what they will never have.
If I wanted America to fail ...
I would create countless new regulations and seldom cancel old ones. They would be so complicated that only bureaucrats, lawyers and lobbyists could understand them. That way small businesses with big ideas wouldn't stand a chance - and I would never have to worry about another Thomas Edison, Henry Ford or Steve Jobs.
I would ridicule as "Flat Earthers" those who urge us to lower energy costs by increasing supply. And when the evangelists of commonsense try to remind people about the law of supply and demand, I'd enlist a sympathetic media to drown them out.
If I wanted America to fail ...
I would empower unaccountable bureaucracies seated in a distant capitol to bully Americans out of their dreams and their property rights. I'd send federal agents to raid guitar factories for using the wrong kind of wood; I'd force homeowners to tear down the homes they built on their own land.
I'd make it almost impossible for farmers to farm, miners to mine, loggers to log, and builders to build.
And because I don't believe in free markets, I'd invent false ones. I'd devise fictitious products-like carbon credits-and trade them in imaginary markets. I'd convince people that this would create jobs and be good for the economy.
If I wanted America to fail ...
For every concern, I'd invent a crisis; and for every crisis, I'd invent the cause; Like shutting down entire industries and killing tens of thousands of jobs in the name of saving spotted owls. And when everyone learned the stunning irony that the owls were victims of their larger cousins-and not people-it would already be decades too late.
If I wanted America to fail ...
I'd make it easier to stop commerce than start it - easier to kill jobs than create them - more fashionable to resent success than to seek it.
When industries seek to create jobs, I'd file lawsuits to stop them. And then I'd make taxpayers pay for my lawyers.
If I wanted America to fail ...
I would transform the environmental agenda from a document of conservation to an economic suicide pact. I would concede entire industries to our economic rivals by imposing regulations that cost trillions. I would celebrate those who preach environmental austerity in public while indulging a lavish lifestyle in private.
I'd convince Americans that Europe has it right, and America has it wrong.
If I wanted America to fail ...
I would prey on the goodness and decency of ordinary Americans.
I would only need to convince them ... that all of this is for the greater good.
If I wanted America to fail, I suppose I wouldn't change a thing.

OBAMA'S NSA PHONE DATA-MINING OPERATION OF ALL U.S. VERIZON CUSTOMERS DISCOVERED

I know none of you have any reason to be worried about your phone call activity, but this is a HUGE overstep on the Obama administration's part. He is completely ignoring the Fourth Amendment, which prohibits the government from unreasonable search and seizure.

During the Bush administration, right after September 11, 2001, people were up in arms over this type of unwarranted intrusion - and that was right after that attack.

Why is Obama doing this to innocent people?

This is even more alarming because Obama just appointed Susan Rice as his new National Security Agency director. Susan Rice, as you may remember, was the point person during the Benghazi coverup that went out on all the Sunday news shows putting out the false and misleading story that the Benghazi attack - which took place on the 11th anniversary of September 11, 2001 - was not a terrorist attack but the result of muslims reacting to a youtube video that no one had even heard of. 

The producer of the anti-Islam youtube video that didn't cause Benghazi still remains in prison after the Obama administration had police drag him out of his house during the middle of the night. 

The NSA has been collecting the phone data of all Verizon customers anywhere inside the U.S. since at least April 25, according to a newly leaked top secret order from the U.S. government’s spy court.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The National Security Agency has been collecting the telephone records of millions of U.S. customers of Verizon under a top secret court order, according to a report in Britain's Guardian newspaper.
The order was granted by the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on April 25 and is good until July 19, the newspaper reported Wednesday. The order requires Verizon, one of the nation's largest telecommunications companies, on an "ongoing, daily basis" to give the NSA information on all telephone calls in its systems, both within the U.S. and between the U.S. and other countries.
The newspaper said the document, a copy of which it had obtained, shows for the first time that under the Obama administration the communication records of millions of U.S. citizens were being collected indiscriminately and in bulk, regardless of whether they were suspected of any wrongdoing.
The Associated Press could not authenticate the order because documents from the court are classified.
Verizon spokesman Ed McFadden said Wednesday the company had no comment. The White House declined comment and referred questions to the NSA. The NSA had no immediate comment.
Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ) listed 121 million customers in its first-quarter earnings report this April - 98.9 million wireless customers, 11.7 million residential phone lines and about 10 million commercial lines. The court order didn't specify which type of phone customers' records were being tracked.
Under the terms of the order, the phone numbers of both parties on a call are handed over, as are location data, call duration, unique identifiers, and the time and duration of all calls. The contents of the conversation itself are not covered, The Guardian said.
The broad, unlimited nature of the records being handed over to the NSA is unusual. FISA court orders typically direct the production of records pertaining to a specific named target suspected of being an agent of a terrorist group or foreign state, or a finite set of individually named targets. NSA warrantless wiretapping during the George W. Bush administration after the 9/11 attacks was very controversial.
The FISA court order, signed by Judge Roger Vinson, compelled Verizon to provide the NSA with electronic copies of "all call detail records or telephony metadata created by Verizon for communications between the United States and abroad" or "wholly within the United States, including local telephone calls," The Guardian said.
The law on which the order explicitly relies is the "business records" provision of the USA Patriot Act.

THE OBAMA AND MOOCH SHOW – MOST EXPENSIVE AND HARMFUL REALITY SHOW EVER FOISTED UPON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE


So I found the White House Tumblr page and posted a graph that BHO has put out for the American people to read and pass along the good news to all of their friends and it got me to thinking about exactly what the current preezy has accomplished.

What are his goals?
How does he intend to get there?
How is he going to bring people along on this train wreck of ideas?
What has he done these last four and a half years?
What does he plan to do to us in the next three and a half years?


All of a sudden it occurred to me as I was browsing the photos of BHO and Mooch...he doesn’t need to do anything! He already has what he wants! And so does she!

THEY’RE FAMOUS!

They don’t need to worry about what we, the racist pigs are saying about them! They have their fans!

I mean, look at these photos posted on a government website, White House Tumblr.com and see for yourself.

The Official White House Tumblr
Things going around the White House that we just had to share with you.
They just HAD to share with us!


I mean, we even get an insiders peek at BHO getting ready for the correspondent's dinner!

Who CARES about Benghazi when you can get to see stuff like this, right!

When you think about it, it all makes sense. No wonder people love this guy. He gives them their daily quota of reality show input without them even asking.

During the Benghazi testimony I found myself wondering where BHO was during all of this.

Well, wouldn't you know it - the answer was on the White House Tumblr page!!



Off on another campaign speaking tour. 

What a guy.

UPDATE: FAMILIES SAY MUSLIM CLERIC DISPARAGED DEAD NAVY SEALS AT THEIR OWN FUNERAL



Klayman’s presentation, which a translator present at the press conference helped prepare, claimed that the cleric’s prayer, translated from Arabic, said the following:

“Amen. I shelter in Allah from the devil who has been cast with stones.
In the name of Allah the merciful forgiver.
The companions of “THE FIRE”
(The sinners and infidels who are fodder for the hell fire)
ARE NOT EQUAL WITH the companions of heaven.
The companions of heaven (Muslims) are the WINNERS.
Had he sent this Koran to the mountain, you would have seen the mountain prostrated in fear of Allah.
(Mocking the GOD of Moses)
Such examples are what we present to the people, so that they would think.
(repent and convert to Islam)
Blessings are to your God (Allah) the God of glory and what they describe.
And peace be upon the messengers (prophets) and thanks be to Allah the lord of both universes (mankind and Jinn).”

THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS MADE IT CLEAR OVER AND OVER WHAT THEY THINK OF THIS COUNTRY AND THE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN THAT GIVE THEIR LIVES FOR ALL OF US.

DISGUSTING.

WORSE THAN DISGUSTING...THEY ARE PURE EVIL.

NAVY SEAL TEAM VI FAMILIES SPEAK OUT

THIS IS PRETTY UNBELIEVABLE. THE DEPTHS THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS SUNK TO IS DISGUSTING.

DR

TODAY AT NATIONAL PRESS CLUB:


NAVY SEAL TEAM VI FAMILIES TO REVEAL GOVERNMENT’S CULPABILITY IN DEATH OF THEIR SONS IN FATAL HELICOPTER CRASH IN AFGHANISTAN FOLLOWING SUCCESSFUL RAID ON BIN LADEN’S COMPOUND
(Washington, D.C.). Three families of Navy SEAL Team VI special forces servicemen, along with one family of an Army National Guardsman, will appear at a press conference on May 9, 2013, to disclose never before revealed information about how and why their sons along with 26 others died in a fatal helicopter crash in Afghanistan on August 6, 2011, just a few months after the successful raid on the compound of Osama Bin Laden that resulted in the master terrorist's death.
Accompanying the families of these dead Navy SEAL Team VI special operations servicemen will be retired military experts verifying their accounts of how and why the government is as much responsible for the deaths of their sons as is the Taliban.
The areas of inquiry at the press conference will include but not be limited to: 
1. How President Obama and Vice President Biden, having disclosed on May 4, 2011, that Navy Seal Team VI carried out the successful raid on Bin Laden’s compound resulting in the master terrorist’s death, put a retaliatory target on the backs of the fallen heroes. (my emphasis)
2. How and why high-level military officials sent these Navy SEAL Team VI heroes into battle without special operations aviation and proper air support. (my emphasis)
3. How and why middle-level military brass carries out too many ill-prepared missions to boost their standing with top-level military brass and the Commander-in-Chief in order that they can be promoted.
4. How the military restricts special operations servicemen and others from engaging in timely return fire when fired upon by the Taliban and other terrorist groups and interests, thus jeopardizing the servicemen’s lives.
5. How and why the denial of requested pre-assault fire may have contributed to the shoot down of the Navy SEAL Team VI helicopter and the death of these special operations servicemen.
6. How Afghani forces accompanying the Navy SEAL Team VI servicemen on the helicopter were not properly vetted and how they possibly disclosed classified information to the Taliban about the mission, resulting in the shoot down of the helicopter.
7. How military brass, while prohibiting any mention of a Judeo-Christian God, invited a Muslim cleric to the funeral for the fallen Navy SEAL Team VI heroes who disparaged in Arabic the memory of these servicemen by damning them as infidels to Allah. A video of the Muslim cleric’s “prayer” will be shown with a certified translation. (my emphasis)
"This press conference takes on special significance given that our government has over the last twelve years since September 11th committed brave American servicemen to wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that, in large part as a result of politics, were poorly conceived of and implemented, resulting in the deaths of thousands and the maiming of tens of thousands of our brave heroes. To make matters even worse, America has effectively lost these wars," stated Larry Klayman, legal counsel for the families.

BENGHAZI

Words escape me tonight. Listening to Gregory Hicks' testimony is one of the saddest things you will hear  for it is acknowledgement of just how far this administration has gone to cover up the fact that the attack on Benghazi WAS a terrorist attack - all at the expense of American citizens that were doing nothing more than trying to do their job.

The depths that Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton have sunk to are ominous. Because not far behind them are the members of the government-controlled-democrat-media-complex that are in full-on cover-up  mode with them.

TERRORISM ALIVE AND WELL...EVEN IN THE UNITED STATES


PRESIDENT OBAMA, WITH HIS FALSE RHETORIC THAT 'TERRORISM IS DEAD', LULLED MOST OF THE AMERICAN CITIZENS INTO THEIR FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY THAT ALL IS WELL AND THEY CAN JUST GO ON WITH THEIR LIVES AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED IN THIS COUNTRY...IN THE WORLD...WITH THE PEOPLE THAT HATE AMERICANS AND WANT TO KILL US.


In his State of the Union address to the American people earlier this year, Barack Obama declared that he was "confident" of achieving "our objective of defeating the core of al-Qaeda".
Although he acknowledged the need to pursue the "remnants" of the terrorist group and its affiliates, the overall message was clear – al-Qaeda was badly degraded, the tides of war were receding and the US was winning this fight that was no longer even officially a war.
The Boston bombings would appear to present a fundamental challenge to that assessment and once again bring the nagging uncertainty of terrorism back on to the American main street.

They (the Boston Marathon bombings) bring home the complexity of the global Islamist threat and the fact that it cannot be confined to wars in distant lands, or fought at arm's length using drones, as the Obama administration has quietly yet insistently led America to believe.
Mr Obama and his intelligence community know the threat from al-Qaeda affiliates, but have chosen to downplay it to the US public.

My question is WHY is Obama refusing to give credence to the threat these terrorists pose?


Jan. 14, 2013: President Obama meets in the Oval Office with Saudi minister of interior.

Jan. 16: Homeland Security Director Janet Napolitano signs "arrangement" with Saudi minister bestowing "trusted traveler" status on Saudi student visitors, shortcutting normal security screening procedures.

April 15: Saudi college student Abdulrahman Ali Alharbi is seen near the Boston marathon finish line with two other Saudis. He's tackled after fleeing the scene of one of the bombings. Authorities question him.

April 15: FBI agents search Alharbi's apartment, leave with bags of evidence. He's described as a "person of interest" in attacks.

April 16: Secretary of State John Kerry secretly meets with the Saudi foreign minister, locking out reporters who initially were told the meeting would be open.

April 16: Saudi ambassador phones several papers and insists neither Alharbi nor any Saudi nationals are involved in the bombings. Saudi officials visit the well-connected Alharbi at a Boston hospital.

April 17: Officials clear Alharbi, who's reportedly related to al-Qaida Gitmo detainees, as a person of interest.

April 17: FBI ID from photos and videos two Mideast-looking men with bags scouting scene of bombings and circulate them among law enforcement. AP, CNN and even Boston Globe report one arrest has been made. CNN describes suspect as "dark-skinned male." Media swarm Boston courthouse for arraignment.

April 17: Obama has sudden unscheduled meeting with the Saudi foreign minister at White House.

April 17: Justice Dept. scolds CNN for arrest report. FBI cancels press conference. Courthouse bomb scare.

April 17: Terror expert Steve Emerson reports ICE has been ordered to "deport" Alharbi for "national security" reasons, out of reach of FBI questioning.

April 18: Napolitano denies Alharbi will be deported.

Today the U.K. Mirror reports that the FBI is seeking a “12-strong terrorist sleeper cell linked to (Boston Marathon bombers) brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev” saying “police believe the pair were specially trained to carry out the devastating attack

A terrorist cell?? Here, in the United States? But didn't Obama say he had all that under control???

Oh, in case you haven’t connected the dots yet, you will notice that all of the publications I have noted are not mainstream, and two of them are from England. The government-controlled-media-complex is complacently going along with Obama and his deception of the American citizens.

So what about these nay-sayers that terrorism is not an active threat to us?

The New York Times has your answer. No surprise there.

A New York Times feature story on the suspected Boston terrorists showed Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in a sympathetic light, with the headline “Far From War-Torn Homeland, Trying To Fit In” and a black-and-white picture of one of the men.

Trying to ‘FIT IN’???

Trying to “fit in” by setting off bombs at a race finish line, killing and maiming innocents??

Trying to “fit in” by walking down the street firing guns at police, throwing bombs at them, including another pressure cooker bomb??

For all of you that were lulled into complacence by the current so-called president’s denial of the terrorism threat, it is time for you to open your eyes and pay attention to what is going on around you.

Of course our daily lives aren’t going to be interrupted and impacted like events such as these. But the potential is there. Always.

It is time to stop allowing the liars and deceivers to continue their rhetoric. It is definitely time to stand up and say ‘Enough!’ The current administration and all the other politicians are perfectly fine with ignoring the situations that are broiling all over the world. All of them have blood on their hands.

The attack on the American Embassy in Benghazi was essentially ignored and pushed under the carpet, and those in Washington DC that don’t agree with what is being done are equally guilty for allowing it to happen. Four Americans were murdered!

There is a pattern to what is happening today. Terrorism has not gone away. They are regrouping and probably rejoicing in the fact that today’s Americans have short attention spans and would rather watch the latest reality show than react to and demand a response to the events that this administration refuses to address.

Ronald Reagan had it right when he gave his Radio Address to the Nation on Terrorism on May 31,1986:

Effective antiterrorist action has also been thwarted by the claim that—as the quip goes—"One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." That's a catchy phrase, but also misleading. Freedom fighters do not need to terrorize a population into submission. Freedom fighters target the military forces and the organized instruments of repression keeping dictatorial regimes in power. Freedom fighters struggle to liberate their citizens from oppression and to establish a form of government that reflects the will of the people. Now, this is not to say that those who are fighting for freedom are perfect or that we should ignore problems arising from passion and conflict. Nevertheless, one has to be blind, ignorant, or simply unwilling to see the truth if he or she is unable to distinguish between those I just described and terrorists. Terrorists intentionally kill or maim unarmed civilians, often women and children, often third parties who are not in any way part of a dictatorial regime. Terrorists are always the enemies of democracy…

His words still speak to today’s conflict of ideologies here. We cannot apply our ideology to people that are born and raised to hate and kill us. The trainers of these terrorists have embedded within their hearts and minds the hatred that drives them to take these actions. But ignoring it, or sympathizing with it will only make them more confident when they attack again.

War is not something we wish for. None of us do. But when war is being waged against us, wishing for happier days or more peaceful times is not going to make it go away. That approach will only strengthen their resolve that we are weak. And weak we will be, easy targets.

WOMEN AND SELECTIVE SERVICE...NEW REQUIREMENTS ARE IN ORDER

SO THE RECENT DECISION TO INCLUDE WOMEN IN COMBAT HAS OPENED UP PANDORA'S BOX AS FAR AS SELECTIVE SERVICE IS CONCERNED.

IN 1981, IN ROSTKER v GOLDBERG, THE SUPREME COURT RULED THAT WOMEN WERE NOT REQUIRED TO SIGN UP FOR SELECTIVE SERVICE. IN THEIR DECISION THEY WROTE:

And since women are excluded from combat service by statute or military policy, men and women are simply not similarly situated for purposes of a draft or registration for a draft, and Congress' decision to authorize the registration of only men therefore does not violate the Due Process Clause. 

SO NOW WHAT?

SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING 'IT'S UP TO CONGRESS' WHETHER OR NOT WOMEN WILL BE REQUIRED TO SIGN UP...I SAY THEY'RE WRONG...

THE SUPREME COURT WAS CLEAR IN THEIR DECISION THAT BECAUSE WOMEN WERE EXCLUDED FROM COMBAT SERVICE, THE SELECTIVE SERVICE REQUIREMENT DID NOT APPLY TO THEM...THEN...TODAY, ALL BETS ARE OFF...

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES

453 U.S. 57

Rostker v. Goldberg

APPEAL FROM TIE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA


No. 80-251 Argued: March 24, 1981 -- Decided June 25, 1981 --- Decided:

The Military Selective Service Act (Act) authorizes the President to require the registration for possible military service of males, but not females, the purpose of registration being to facilitate any eventual conscription under the Act. Registration for the draft was discontinued by Presidential Proclamation in 1975 (the Act was amended in 1973 to preclude conscription), but as the result of a crisis in Southwestern Asia, President Carter decided in 1980 that it was necessary to reactivate the registration process, and sought Congress' allocation of funds for that purpose. He also recommended that Congress amend the Act to permit the registration and conscription of women as well as men. Although agreeing that it was necessary to reactivate the registration process, Congress allocated only those funds necessary to register males, and declined to amend the Act to permit the registration of women. Thereafter, the President ordered the registration of specified groups of young men. In a lawsuit brought by several men challenging the Act's constitutionality, a three-judge District Court ultimately held that the Act's gender-based discrimination violated the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment, and enjoined registration under the Act.
Held: The Act's registration provisions do not violate the Fifth Amendment. Congress acted well within its constitutional authority to raise and regulate armies and navies when it authorized the registration of men and not women. Pp. 64-83.
(a) The customary deference accorded Congress' judgments is particularly appropriate when, as here, Congress specifically considered the question of the Act's constitutionality, and perhaps in no area has the Court accorded Congress greater deference than in the area of national defense and military affairs. While Congress is not free to disregard the Constitution when it acts in the area of military affairs, this Court must be particularly careful not to substitute its judgment of what is desirable for that of Congress, or its own evaluation of evidence for a reasonable evaluation by the Legislative Branch. Congress carefully considered whether to register only males for potential conscription or whether to register both sexes, and its broad constitutional authority [p58]cannot be ignored in considering the constitutionality of its studied choice of one alternative in preference to the other. Pp. 64-72.
(b) The question of registering women was extensively considered by Congress in hearings held in response to the President's request for authorization to register women, and its decision to exempt women was not the accidental byproduct of a traditional way of thinking about women. Since Congress thoroughly reconsidered the question of exempting women from the Act in 1980, the Act's constitutionality need not be considered solely on the basis of the views expressed by Congress in 1948, when the Act was first enacted in its modern form. Congress' determination that any future draft would be characterized by a need for combat troops was sufficiently supported by testimony adduced at the hearings so that the courts are not free to make their own judgment on the question. And since women are excluded from combat service by statute or military policy, men and women are simply not similarly situated for purposes of a draft or registration for a draft, and Congress' decision to authorize the registration of only men therefore does not violate the Due Process Clause. The testimony of executive and military officials before Congress showed that the argument for registering women was based on considerations of equity, but Congress was entitled, in the exercise of its constitutional powers, to focus on the question of military need, rather than "equity." The District Court, undertaking an independent evaluation of the evidence, exceeded its authority in ignoring Congress' conclusions that whatever the need for women for noncombat roles during mobilization, it could be met by volunteers, and that staffing noncombat positions with women during a mobilization would be positively detrimental to the important goal of military flexibility. Pp. 72-83.
509 F.Supp. 586, reversed.
REHNQUIST, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which BURGER, C.J., and STEWART, BLACKMUN, POWELL, and STEVENS, JJ., joined. WHITE, J., post, p. 83, and MARSHALL, J., post, p. 86, filed dissenting opinions, in which BRENNAN, J., joined. [p59]

A MESSAGE FROM RUSSIA: AMERICANS NEVER GIVE UP YOUR GUNS

THIS IS WORTH REPRINTING HERE IN IT'S ENTIRETY:



Americans never give up your guns

28.12.2012 12:15
By Stanislav Mishin 
These days, there are few things to admire about the socialist, bankrupt and culturally degenerating USA, but at least so far, one thing remains: the right to bear arms and use deadly force to defend one's self and possessions.
This will probably come as a total shock to most of my Western readers, but at one point, Russia was one of the most heavily armed societies on earth. This was, of course, when we were free under the Tsar. Weapons, from swords and spears to pistols, rifles and shotguns were everywhere, common items. People carried them concealed, they carried them holstered. Fighting knives were a prominent part of many traditional attires and those little tubes criss crossing on the costumes of Cossacks and various Caucasian peoples? Well those are bullet holders for rifles.
Various armies, such as the Poles, during the Смута (Times of Troubles), or Napoleon, or the Germans even as the Tsarist state collapsed under the weight of WW1 and Wall Street monies, found that holding Russian lands was much much harder than taking them and taking was no easy walk in the park but a blood bath all its own. In holding, one faced an extremely well armed and aggressive population Hell bent on exterminating or driving out the aggressor.
This well armed population was what allowed the various White factions to rise up, no matter how disorganized politically and militarily they were in 1918 and wage a savage civil war against the Reds. It should be noted that many of these armies were armed peasants, villagers, farmers and merchants, protecting their own. If it had not been for Washington's clandestine support of and for the Reds, history would have gone quite differently.
Moscow fell, for example, not from a lack of weapons to defend it, but from the lying guile of the Reds. Ten thousand Reds took Moscow and were opposed only by some few hundreds of officer cadets and their instructors. Even then the battle was fierce and losses high. However, in the city alone, at that time, lived over 30,000 military officers (both active and retired), all with their own issued weapons and ammunition, plus tens of thousands of other citizens who were armed. The Soviets promised to leave them all alone if they did not intervene. They did not and for that were asked afterwards to come register themselves and their weapons: where they were promptly shot.
Of course being savages, murderers and liars does not mean being stupid and the Reds learned from their Civil War experience. One of the first things they did was to disarm the population. From that point, mass repression, mass arrests, mass deportations, mass murder, mass starvation were all a safe game for the powers that were. The worst they had to fear was a pitchfork in the guts or a knife in the back or the occasional hunting rifle. Not much for soldiers.
To this day, with the Soviet Union now dead 21 years, with a whole generation born and raised to adulthood without the SU, we are still denied our basic and traditional rights to self defense. Why? We are told that everyone would just start shooting each other and crime would be everywhere....but criminals are still armed and still murdering and too often, especially in the far regions, those criminals wear the uniforms of the police. The fact that everyone would start shooting is also laughable when statistics are examined.
While President Putin pushes through reforms, the local authorities, especially in our vast hinterland, do not feel they need to act like they work for the people. They do as they please, a tyrannical class who knows they have absolutely nothing to fear from a relatively unarmed population. This in turn breeds not respect but absolute contempt and often enough, criminal abuse.
For those of us fighting for our traditional rights, the US 2nd Amendment is a rare light in an ever darkening room. Governments will use the excuse of trying to protect the people from maniacs and crime, but are in reality, it is the bureaucrats protecting their power and position. In all cases where guns are banned, gun crime continues and often increases. As for maniacs, be it nuts with cars (NYC, Chapel Hill NC), swords (Japan), knives (China) or home made bombs (everywhere), insane people strike. They throw acid (Pakistan, UK), they throw fire bombs (France), they attack. What is worse, is, that the best way to stop a maniac is not psychology or jail or "talking to them", it is a bullet in the head, that is why they are a maniac, because they are incapable of living in reality or stopping themselves.
The excuse that people will start shooting each other is also plain and silly. So it is our politicians saying that our society is full of incapable adolescents who can never be trusted? Then, please explain how we can trust them or the police, who themselves grew up and came from the same culture?
No it is about power and a total power over the people. There is a lot of desire to bad mouth the Tsar, particularly by the Communists, who claim he was a tyrant, and yet under him we were armed and under the progressives disarmed. Do not be fooled by a belief that progressives, leftists hate guns. Oh, no, they do not. What they hate is guns in the hands of those who are not marching in lock step of their ideology. They hate guns in the hands of those who think for themselves and do not obey without question. They hate guns in those whom they have slated for a barrel to the back of the ear. (my emphasis)
So, do not fall for the false promises and do not extinguish the light that is left to allow humanity a measure of self respect.
