Praxis: Claire Wolfe on Preparing for Civil Unrest.

MamaLiberty said...: I've lately been saying that it's half past "Claire time" now - but I sorta hope the ball won't drop for few monts yet. It's snowing hard outside...

Why in hell can't they just leave us alone?; February 4, 2010 at 3:37 PM
Walter said...: Thowin' the B.S. flag on Claire Wolfe's premise that the US Government can pull lthis off. Why? Because we won't let them. They can only "govern" and control us if we acquiesce.

This piece is flawed on several fronts: First; NorthCom's mandate is not civil law enforcement. It's support for local/state/federal civil government in the event of a natural or "man-caused disaster".

Realizing that it's a short hop from support to full on military law enforcement, there is something we, the people, can do about it. We can resist. Sure, some will be casualties, but before long, the officers and NCO's will realize that what they are doing is being done to their own families by other troops. That's the moment wherein the military will break down and start either resisting along with us or start shooting each other.

Realistically, what do you think the few thousand Canadian troops could possibly do in the US, far from their bases and supplies? Sure, they could make forays into the US near the borders, but they have shown no inclination whatsoever to do so. Besides, much of the Canadian army is in Afghanistan at the present.

In reality, even the million man (and woman) US Army could not control anything but a tiny fraction of the territory of the US. Let them control the cities? Why not? We could easily starve them out.

The reality is that the premise of the monograph is based on fear and a bunch of supposition and speculation.

Will the federal government try to control us? Sure, they already are trying. Ask yourself, though, how well are they doing?; February 5, 2010 at 5:17 PM

"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.
