Ludicrous disinformation.

Air Force General James Mattoon Scott (who bears a striking resemblance to Burt Lancaster) plans to confiscate your firearms according to this ludicrous piece of disinformation.

A number of readers have sent me links to this article: "Military Drawing Up Plans for Nation-wide Gun Confiscations."

A snippet:

WASHINGTON, DC – A senior U.S. general has confirmed that the military has secretly drawn up plans to round up large numbers of privately-owned firearms from American gun owners.

General James M. Scott of the U.S. Air Force confirmed that the Pentagon received a series of formal directives from the White House between November 7 and December 13 to begin plans for a massive nationwide operation to confiscate guns using a series of federal databases compiled over the last few decades.

General Scott spoke with Duffel Blog reporters in a parking garage in northern Virginia.

Scott also confirmed that a certain four-star general who heads the U.S. Transportation Command was intimately involved in the planning. General Scott would not reveal the general’s name out of concerns for his safety.

The plan, known in the military as Operation PREAKNESS, combines a series of tactics developed for house sweeps and room clearing in Iraq and Afghanistan, which General Scott admitted had been used as test-runs for the U.S.

C'mon people! Haven't you ever read Seven Days in May or seen the movie at least? The plot to overthrow the government in 7DIM is called Operation Preakness and the principal conspirator is Air Force General James Mattoon Scott (played in the movie by Burt Lancaster). There's a lot of disinformation out there right now but this one is just too easy to spot. Somebody's pulling your leg.

Duffle Blog is a military satire website with a leftist, anti-military point of view. I know that last sentence was unnecessarily redundant but that is how poisonous their "humor" is.; January 20, 2013 at 9:08 AM

We cannot disarm ,as it seem's we are truly " On Our Own ".; January 20, 2013 at 9:12 AM
Anonymous said...: I've never seen the movie, but I do read Duffle Blog on occassion. And as soon as I saw that name, I knew the whole article was a hoax.
And FYI, Duffle Blog is military satire, but far from left, and beloved by many soldiers (etc) everywhere.

Anonymous said...: Sometimes I wonder if the premise of the movie has actually occurred, whereby the DOD/CIA actually is the "powers that be". On the same note, I can imagine Obomination's first day in the Oval office where some "officer" put's a gun to the King's temple and tells him "how it's gonna be"..or else.

Although, someone spiking Obomba's coffee with brain sucking alien parasites notwithstanding, the only other possible explanation for our decent into Orwellian hell is simple. We have a full fledged certifiable fucking psychopath at the helm. Something tells me though, it's the latter.; January 20, 2013 at 2:46 PM
Anonymous said...: duffleblog is "The Onion" in olive drab (or digicam for the newer generation) meets Dilbert. For those that live or work for the US military it is sometimes spot on in its satire. And like the Onion tends to fool people that look only at a single article with insufficient background.
I mean, come on, US Transcom taking the lead on civilian disarmament plans? That's like assigning B-52s to a Tactical Air Force Command.
Hmm, what? Oh.; January 20, 2013 at 10:22 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.
