We should be looking at maximal dispersion, maximum mobility.
Now if we had some plan to buy all the munitions factories around the country, and set up around those, then it might be interesting.
Well, maximum mobility has a price to be paid in you're relying on attracting kindred souls who will not or cannot do actual fighting to provide food, shelter, intel, arms and other support.
Do you have that kind of pull? I don't.If we cannot get aid from the populace, at least some portion - roughly 10-15% - then we are screwed anyhow. However, I see no need for these folks to be concentrated. Again, it only makes it easier to monitor, find and destroy both us and them.
Besides politics is a more polite brand of warfare. The enemy knows it and can relax in the knowledge that the militias haven't played it smart politically as a group.
Of course not.
Nor can you claim to have any kind of authority when you prepare to fight and constantly run away.
The Militia has ZERO credibility at this point.
Not to mention huge leadership problems.
Now, I'm not saying that is deserved as we may actually stand up and fight one of these days... :rolleyes:
Who knows.....
Hint: local offices are the achilles heel of the beast, they wield most of the day-to-day power over us and are vulnerable to recall elections as most folks don't vote period and of those that vote, most don't vote in local elections. Which is why we got so many cops tasering grannies and such. Good job minding your own business there.
You leave political office to the enemy they will use it to restrict and ban your arms and other 'perceived rights'. Not a formula for victory.
You are correct in your initial statement and then go astray.
You cannot just fight the head, it is the tail that provides it with power.
As stated, it was the clerks and bookeepers that gave Hitler his power. We'd do well to remember this.
Buy munitions factories? With WHAT? And say you did-what municipality in America is going to tolerate some 'redneck militia types' making their own weaponry? What you get for not having interjected yourselves into the political process.
It was a tongue in cheek statement. I was being sarcastic.
However, if you own the joint, you just never know where shit is going to wind up.
No: you want to win you need weapons, food, fuel, shelter. That comes from owning territory. You gain territory as a Freedom Fighter by having the hearts and minds of the People. You win those hearts and minds by interjecting in the local political process and booting out the boss hogs and tin badge gods.
Get it?
Get it?
No.
LMAO
You ain't got near the time you think you do. None of you do.
You'll still be trying to break a thoroughly corrupted political process in 20 years while the last of your freedom is slipping through your fingers and your children can enjoy the thrills of their weakened nation being conquered by a foreign power. One that has no intention of treating the US like it has treated those whom it has defeated.
And don't fucking patronize me.
