Remember Waco and Ruby Ridge? The victims got NO favorable press whatsoever. They had no communications with the outside world and no way to present their side of things to the people.
Times have changed.
NOW WE CAN WAGE PSY-WAR TOO.
Everyone has the net now and we have a viable alternative media to counter the party line. Social media makes on the scene news...instant. The tyrants who operate in darkness can no longer hide what they do and they fear the light.
The protests, the "sympathetic" politicians, the speeches are all political theater. They more average people see average people being terrorized by an out of control gov.; the more sympathetic they are to the resistance.
Large crowds of peaceful, ordinary folk need to be seen right now standing tall.
That DOES NOT mean however that contingency plans are not in place to deal with the threat if things go hot. This must be clearly understood by all including OPFOR.
Everyone should be on standby.
People in the area of Nev should have some, not all people on sight.
For the rest of the country...
Got your underground and auxiliary networks ready to go operational?
Got your local, regional comm plan in place and operational?
Are your QRF teams ready to go on a minutes warning?
"The time for war has not yet come, but it will come and that soon, and when it does come, my advice is to draw the sword and throw away the scabbard." Gen. T.J. Jackson, March 1861
