Last Belch from the Dead Corpse of a Discussion

I have been taken to task by "Texas Resistance" over on AWRM for violating the privacy of the Internet in my effort to avert potential disaster in the state of my birth. Here is his complaint, and my reply.

TR sez: "Dutchman6, it is not right for you to post private e-mails to public forums such as AWRM or to any public forum. All you did was cause trouble for Hutaree. You need to let Hutaree run their group as they see fit and spend your time on your own group if you have one."

I was wondering when somebody would gripe about this. No good deed goes unpunished.

TR is right, both the initial Hutaree email indicating the leader is reacting to the ATF probe by running in circles like a headless chicken and the SMVM discussion (where they chat about talking to the Fibbies about Hutaree) were posted with the expectation of privacy. However, there is NO privacy on the Internet. Anyone who expects there to be is wishing for what never was. That's why I've always wondered why anyone uses an "anonymous" moniker.

You may speculate about how and from whom I got those emails/posts, but I will not tell you. Maybe I have an ENIGMA machine. I will tell you WHY I was motivated to do so.

Because, first, I was asked to help avert what looked like a needless confrontation in which some people could get killed and others could get pulled into. And second, because I could not get a timely response to my request for information from the Hutaree and needed to know what was happening.

If the poor babies of Hutaree and SMVM don't like being outed for the fools they have been, they should grow up, start using their brains and quit writing checks with their mouths that they expect other people to cash with their lives.

As for discomfitting the ATF, putting them off their game and letting them know that they're not dealing simply with some easy marks in Michigan, neither the Hutaree nor the SMVM need thank me.

I was born in Michigan and still have relatives in the remnants of the Michigan Militia up there. I call myself an Alabama wolverine these days. Let's just say I did it for the collective reputation of all Wolverines everywhere.

Hutaree has a U tube channel. Go watch hutaree 3.
If this is disinformation or comedy it's wonderful.
If it isn't it's a joke. I think there is a large and fragile
ego, that leaves little room to be questioned.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
