when the "vertical envelopment" comes knocking on your door ....

i have written many times in these pages of what happens to those who fail to properly conceptualize the situation they are in.

probably no more famous instance is found in kerensky's observation that "... we have no enemies to the left."  it was bad political philosophy.  and, it was an abject failure in "real world" field intelligence gathering.  he simply had no inkling of what was in store for him and russia from the bolsheviks.

laterly, we have witnessed a similar failure on the part of osama bin laden.  he thought that he was safe in pakistan, and he believed himself beyond the reach of american operatives.  he got lax operationally, and he failed to have adequate security on hand at his lair.  in the end, a wife hugging his legs was not adequate.

and, so it is with you my friend.

you simply do not believe that a whole bunch of burly guys in swat gear, knee pads, elbow pad, helmets and phone jacks will come calling on you at 3.30 a.m., and that their only entreaty to enter will be the splintering of your door jams under the hobnails of their boots.

did i mention the guns, the concussions grenades, and blinding lights? ***###***

if you don't think that americans are capable of doing this to fellow americans, than you my friend, are as ill prepared to deal with reality as were kerensky and bin laden.

so, the first thing you have to consider, is that your guns are worthless in the gun safe.  if you do not have a weapon already in hand, or immediately within your grasp, you are not going to be able to get to it before you are surrounded and apprehended.

the first conceptualization you must make, the first thing you must realize, is that if you are to resist you must have a weapon and a goodly supply of ammo in it, and ready to supplement that after it has been expended, if you are really lucky.

the second conceptualization you must make, is that you are willing to shoot at an absolute instant, as soon as you can acquire the persons described above in your gun sights, without palaver or inquiry or challenge as to who they are, and what they are doing in your house.

who in the hell do you think they are?  the fucking neighborhood welcome wagon.

the third conceptualization you must make, and right now, is that all shots are aimed either to the thigh, or to the face mask.  your task, should you undertake it, is to kill those who have entered your house in such a manner.   understand that they mean you absolutely no good.   they do not have good intentions.

they are the minions of tyrants, and they deserve to die, and that is that.   end of discussion.

the final conceptualization that you must face, right now, is that if you resist in the manner i have described, then it is quite likely that you are going to be killed.  even if only severely wounded or injured when you are subdued, you are quite likely to die before you are drug out your door.  if you are lucky enough to get a couple of them to accompany you on your soon to be experienced sojourn into the unknown, then understand that you will not be held in good standing by those who stand over you.

you have one thing in your favor.

not to live, if you fight back, because you will die, most likely & all things being equal.

no, the thing that you have in your favor is that obama and his thugs have not thought this whole thing through very thoroughly, and that they probably do not think that their entry into your home will be met with well directed and effected "counter battery" fire.   the first groups of these thugs who do this will enter your home fat, dumb and happy, with the expectations that they will encounter a quivering mass of jello, sitting in his own stew, so to speak.  (that means they think you will shit your pants, and that you are not in a killing mode.)

this gives you a more than even chance of taking a couple of the bastards with you, before they can effect your capture & death.   well, i am being a bit redundant, as apprehension equates with death.

now.

you have one final conceptualization available to you, as you read this.--

right now, obama and his minions are on the offensive.  they will quite likely run a couple of these little exercises on a couple two or three foils, just to see how they go, and just to see how the public reacts, e.g., will the public do as directed by the government and as directed by the news media when the first of these little "trial balloons" go up, and are announced to the world by the media.

being on the offensive gives the thugs and goons, and obama and feinstein, ... , (but, as mark twain would have remarked, "i repeat myself ... "), the advantage.

the one conceptualization you must make, and this dictates certain organization realities we will discuss, is that we must take the offensive in the conduct of the insurrection.  we must organize, and we must attack.

part of the conceptualization we are discussing must be, is that being on the defensive is not a good place to be either tactically or strategically.

p.s.  we will discuss these matters more.

but, understand the fundamental assumption, that as long as we allow ourselves to be attacked, even if we defend ourselves manfully and well, the advantage lies to obama and ilk.  we take the advantage, when we take to and carry out the attack.

the only decision is when, and when are we justified.

when do we, like the old fire horse, understand that we have just heard the fire bell alarm, and that we go roaring into action.  and, that will be discussed.   what is the clarion summons to battle? 

***###***  the "guns" mentioned are not going to be single shot .22 long rifles, nor are they going to be armed with paintball guns.  they are going to be carrying ar-15's or ar-10's, either in 5.56x45mm nato, or 7.62x51mm nato chamberings.  they will be assaulting you w/ assault weapons.

you had best be armed with something of equal throw weight, if you have even the delusion of gaining the upper hand, tactically speaking, if not the reasonable hope and repulsing them, and getting a little "stand off" between you and your attackers.

i would suggest an ar-15.   or, a twelve gauge pump shotgun, with an extended magazine.   or, a .45 acp semi auto pistol.   all three would be best.   if you don't have them, acquire them.

if you find these things unpalatable, then figure out how to surrender, and do mind your manners in the re-education centers.  it might be helpful to read something about moa's red guards and the great cultural revolution, to know how to properly conduct yourself.  i would suggest that you sleep naked, and learn how to stand with your hands up, palms forward, when your bedroom is entered.

hope for the best.  learn to appreciate the fish eyes in the soup.

JJ -
The visits in the night are only part of the para-military tactics that will be used against us. There are other things that one can do in preparation for surprize visits by TacSwat teams. In addition to having ready access to your irons, there are relatively economical improvements to entry areas to slow the attack (and as you point out, this is exactly the definition of the visit). For example, replace the screws on all hinges and door locks with long and heavier mounting screws. Man'a best friend is one of the most effective alarm systems. If one is really paranoid, establish floor-to-door braces above and below door breaching targets. One can think about so many other counter-measures that they will make your head hurt. I do not recommend pre-set boobie traps, they don't care who trips them.

In the end, though, you are right, serious bodily injury and death will be final result.

The biggest advantage I see to avoid such visits is to maintain little or no presence on their radar screens. If, however, one is among those in the target rich environment, an Alamo stand is the last of two alternative plans. As George Patton stated, "No war was ever won by dieing for your country but by making the other poor bastard die for his." The second alternative is to keep all of your weapons and go-kit in another location off-site; it is better to live to fight another day (until "habeous corpus"is suspended) even if it has to be delayed with temporary confinement (no one is irreplacable, just as much as no one is expendable). Be like Br'er Rabbit and lay low as much as possible. Or like the old Infantry axiom goes, "Never intentionally try to draw enemy fire, it really pisses off your fox hole buddies. There are better ways to fix the location of your enemies."

There is so much more to discuss. More later.

Don't sleep in your bed / bedroom. Sleep in your attic, sleep in your crawlspace, sleep down the street or out in the woods, with a good field of fire at your residence and alarms in the residence. We have to be smarter than these clowns.
