the american insurrection .... where it will be fought ....

the chief intellectual battle zone will be the kitchen table.

between contesting views.  and, between spouses, along the lines of this i have to do, to be a man, my good woman.

enough of that.

the chief locales will not be as you might suspect, in my opinion.  i don't think we shall see the beginnings and the middle ground in the hinterlands and obscure villages, as in the middle eastern template.  there will be some, to be sure, but in such places most of the persons who might otherwise be targets, e.g., "the authorities," are our friends and much like us in belief and disposition.

why kill your friends?  who do not try to impose tyranny upon you, and who are in your elk and deer camps?  who were vets, who have children in the service, "who come from where you come"?

as to the locales of the fight, i believe that we will move right to the end game.

i believe the battles of the insurrection will be fought in new york city, in washington d.c., and in chicago, illinois and finally, los angeles and san francisco, california because that is where the enemy is.  in those cities the insurrection will find its most visible and iconic targets, those most actively seeking the imposition of tyranny.  there will be found the politicians who posit public protection when what they really intend to impose is the foundation (in the removal of our weapons) for the attack on our other liberties, ... , that being the imposition of restrictions upon free speech and assembly.

that leads to violence, for sure, does it not?

in those cities the insurrection will find the talking heads and pundits of the great leftist mass media, and their minions, the celebrities of hollywood and the movies and television.

the insurrection will take the fight directly to its enemies.  i certainly would not go elk hunting on manhattan island, because there are no elk there, let alone pheasants.  i would certainly not look for the enemy within in the fellowship of my elk camp.

no, the fight is brought to our homes and our villages and our little small towns by those great urban centers that look upon us as peasantry to be told what to do, and from whom the wealth that turns the great engines of our economy is extracted.

the peasants will take the fight to the nobles, because that is who brings the fight to us.  and, we will attack them in their manor houses, in their board rooms, and upon their playing fields and party houses.

and, the chief reason that we will attack the great urban centers is precisely where the elites are most vulnerable.  they think they have security and police force to protect them.  it is all an illusion.   where will that private hired gun go, when he sees his fellows felled.  first.  and, most thoroughly.

what will the citizenry of the great eastern seaboard metropolis think when it sees the garbage in the streets, when its water supply is interrupted and despoiled, when its food stuffs are interdicted.   how will they find us, as we attack from among them, when we look, talk and act just like them, when all we have to do to escape the scene of an attack is turn, and walk into the crowd on the next block.

we won't be very good at what we do at first.  insurrectionists never are.  we will take casualties, and we will be captured.

but, we will get better as the matter wears on.  people will acquire skills.  and, the other side shall grow very weary of being killed, of being canon fodder.  my kind, we are used to it, we have supplied the soldiery for this country for generations.  their kind, the "them," are not used to getting their hands soiled, ... , they don't work, they count coupons, ... , and they are not used to being targets, and they are not used to shedding blood.

that has been our job for years.

and, we've been good at it, the best in the world.  the government is about to unleash the best fighters in the world, ... , upon itself, because they aim to trample on our liberties.  and we, we have the option of attacking anywhere and anytime and in any manner in which we choose.

poor bastards.  i pity them their stupidity.  they are going to put chains on the men and women who fought the civil war, who went ashore at normandy, who fought at iwo jima and liberated the philippines. 

bring it on.

john jay

p.s.  the other great center of the fight will be the f.e.m.a. and "emergency" detention camps, built all over the country, with quite a few of them in colorado.   anyone ever figure out what sort of emergencies they have in colorado, that require refuge camps?   earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes?   they have an occasional brush fire, and some really bad n.b.a. teams, but disasters?

get real.

the government shall do the work of identifying the "domestic terrorists" that send the tingle up and the cold pee down janet napolitano's legs, and they shall round them up for us, and indoctrinate them at our leisure, and when they have transformed them from urban types into rock hard committed warriors for liberty, we shall liberate them and put guns in their hands.

we shall harvest the fighters that the government has sowed for us, and we will be there.  and, we shall prevail on this battlefield, because we have right, liberty and god on our side.  they are mere pretenders at being tyrants, they are not hard enough for the game they put in motion.  their own ambitions shall destroy them.

Hell, give yourself some credit, lol. I've been reading your words for over 2 years, I just choose to not always comment.

JJ -

You have a good handle on how this assymetirc war will have to be fought. Recall a few of my earlier remarks. The fight in D.C., Northern Virginia, and Maryland will need to be focused on second and third-tier support personnel to elected officials. The fight will be ugly - the face of war is always so, one does what is necessary.

Where we may not be complete agreement is the role of the active military. In my opinion, there will be a coup to unseat current top leadership and replace with field-generals and colonels leading the troops not associated with MDW. The military will then take D.C. and stand up a temporary government complete with Nuremburg Trials.

I will read through the blogs in the next few days and try to get out of the vacuum.

"Whoever does not have the stomach for this fight let him depart. Give him money to speed his departure since we wish not to die in this man’s company."

"Whoever lives past this day and comes home safely will rouse himself every year on this day, show his neighbor his scars and tell embellished stories of all their great feats of Battle. These stories will teach his son. And from this day until the end of the world, we shall be remembered."

"We few. We Band of Brothers. For whoever has shed his blood with me shall be my Brother."

"And those men afraid to go will think themselves lesser men as they hear how we fought and died together."
- Shakespeare; Henry V

P.S. The Stone Interview may be an eye opener: http://rt.com/news/oliver-stone-us-orwellian-022/.

P.P.S. Assemytric war is both up close and personal and beyond arm's length and faceless. But in the end it all washes off with the right liquids.

[john jay]

rod:

very interesting remarks.

i have sometimes thought about the possibility of a command structure coup.

i would have thought that benghazi would have been the inspiration for something like that, rather than an issue like "gun control," (which we ought to call "thought control," because that is the aim of it. an odd concept, perhaps, but people without guns don't think the same way.)

but, you point of an insurrection fought in the d.c., virginia, maryland, etc. corridor is spot on, especially as to the targets involved. and, the aims of eliminating the bureaucracy that is part and parcel of the obama scheme: they are "partnered" with him, the whole way. as they are with their "euro union" counterparts, ... , they aim to rule the world.

good points, all.

john

p.s. shakespeare comes in handy now & again, eh? smiling.

[Rod]

JJ -
My take on the trip-wire device will be the gun control issue along with censorship of free thought and speech, which is occurring with both this administration and the MSM. While your thoughts of the Benghazi Murders have merit, I think there is a great motivational difference between government collaboration / conspiracy with foreign enemies in external affairs and that same government collaboration / conspiracy applied directly on our Constitution and personal freedoms and liberty at home. I believe the latter threats demand more immediate action. And I believe the line in the sand has been drawn. I would rather see the Military get involved to right the ship-of-state rather than a slow-burn reaction inspired by civil revolt and the violence that will follow that route.

So too, does an old Greek Credo, "Molan Labe." For that matter, so does an old George Carlin quote and my moniker, "Kill for peace" seems applicable.

[john jay]

rod:

i don't see much distinction between gun confiscation and curtailment of free speech.

one is just the precursor to the other.

Correctamundo, as the Fonz would say. One begats the other.

Regarding some statements within the BLOG listings, the mayor of Chicago is not Mossad, and there is no place within the confines of the US where ex-feds, elected officials, and "Wall Street" execs can exist un noticed for long (even within the million acres of wilderness owned by Ted Turner). Interesting reading just the same.

[john jay]

rod:

yes, little "enclaves" get noticed, don't they?

i don't suppose you could hide along flathead lake any more, could you? laughing.

p.s. i don't know anything. it's just where i could go, if i had the money, and enough blankets for the winter.

Folks like Grizzley Adams (folks like us) could get small just about any where and survive. People used to being catered to (like yuppies and urbanites) wouldn't make it through the first night. Went through winter mountain survival training at Mt. Rainier and the SOF survival training out side Ft. Wainwright, AK and desert training Ft. Irwin, CA. Only thing to be concerned about with Flathead are the cougars, grizzles, and Blackfoot smoke jumpers. I like the area along Rock Creek between Missoula and Philipsberg.

rod:

yes, things that bite & go chomp in the night are to be accounted for.

actually, you've raised a thought or two in the old cranium, which will be addressed in a little post, in just a bit.

[Cruising Troll]

In your discussion of "where", you overlook two significant venues. The first is state capitals. Leviathan is not only a beast of the cities you have identified, but also has it's tentacles in many state capitals. The most obvious is Sacramento, along with Albany and Boston, but there are others as well. (Most interesting from an observers viewpoint would be Austin.)

There are only 50 state capitals, which significantly increases the field of conflict. That increase pales in comparison to the other strike point. Academia.

The most important things when considering an undertaking of this sort is simply this:

Do not become a mob. Do NOT attack the general population. Read Ann Coulter's book "Demonic" (I think that's the one) to understand why.

It will not be a long and drawn out affair. If it is, then tens, if not hundreds of millions will die. Why? Because the rest of the world won't be sitting by idly. There are those who till take the opportunity to strike at America, and there are those who will figure that America is busy so they can move elsewhere with impunity.

What happens when outsiders strike America during our turmoil? Unknown.

[john jay]

cruising troll:

it is the sort of a situation in which the stakes of the game get raised very very quickly, is it not?

enormously.

chaos leads many places.

something obama and his minions would do well to consider, as they set this matter in motion.

from my perspective, however, which is the preservation of my rights and liberties among which are paramount the right of free speech, assembly, and free political association the lines of decision making are pretty clear.

and, it is abundantly clear to me the possession of firearms is fundamental in preserving and asserting these ancient liberties.

about this there can be no confusion, and no hesitation.

because without these things, there really isn't very much else that is of value.

as it stands, there is a very large difference between being american and being a subject of the euro union.

that difference, for americans, is the possession of firearms and the preservation of our participation in our own rule.

those are the real stakes for me.

Two more of my cents here, CT has identified secondary targets in the looming fights. There is annother old Infantry axiom to share at this point, "When first involved in a violent fire-fight, shoot the danger-close targets, then the near ones, and finally, followed by alternately engaging the far and over-the-hill targers"

CT is correct in naming targets, but fails to prioritise them. Academians are the least of immediate threats, capitol cities may be bastions of comflict; it depends on which states. As you point out, it will be the responsibility for Americans not directly involved with the Belt Way Fight to carry the same fight to those in the elitist support network. This effort will pertubate the efforts for continuity of current administration and MSM efforts and interfere with their mutual support.

And rest assured CT, the coming insurrection will not be a mob action. The mob activities will be the main weapon of the "Entitled" entitlement group, which may very well be the crux of the outlying state and local disturbances. This will be the grunt conflict of the uprising.

Academia, as stated earlier, is the least of the immediate threat and are merely piss ants in the scheme of things. Left to their own devices, they can achieve unbelievable goals and influence the next generation with their twisted thinking. However, anything which interrupts their strategy has immediate and profound impact on their objectives. So for what it is worth and in my opinion, Academia (with their usual support mechanisms) are nothing more than gnatts circuling this horse's ass and can wait to the end stages of the fight. Those who haven't fled to China and remain will be gathered up and punished.

[Oldfart]

Most seem to think that our military will play a part in the coming festivities. Perhaps, but remjember, Obama is busily sending forces to every bar-fight he can find in the Middle East and Africa. There may not be much military left to make a difference when we go to war here.

[Cassandra (of Troy)]

Expect the Imperium to conduct very bloody 'right-wing militia' attacks (up to/including N/B/C events) to poison the support structure of the rebellion (the public) against the rebels. And if it looks like the majority of the combat mil & law enforcement will be siding w/ the rebels, expect to see the Soviet model of sudden 'retirements', opportune 'suicides'/'heart attacks'/'mental breakdowns', resignations for 'personal reasons', & arrests for 'treason'.

[john jay]

cassandra:

yeah, pretty nasty stuff.

i read a thing at another blog, a fellow speculated that the rooskies might smuggle some high tech stuff in to help the people fighting the regime.

i like "imperium," but, i didn't coin it, so i won't appropriate it. but, i will say, i don't think the guy running it is without clothes, i just think the suit has no one inside it.

but, yes, very liable to be just a bit on the nasty side, this upcoming soiree.

john

p.s. stock up on staples, and potables. lots of wool for the winter.
