Armed Protesters Begin To Arrive At State Capitols Around The Nation

Comedy Gold!

This goes way back before that stuff was a thing. The fact is that the State has actively created a class of jackbooted gestapo thugs to keep the proletariat in line and thus ignited a cycle of violence and justification of violence that won’t stop anytime soon.

The use of paramilitary police units began in Los Angeles in the 1960s.

The militarization of local police forces got a big boost from Attorney General Ed Meese’s “war on drugs” during the Reagan administration.

A National Security Decision Directive was issued that declared drugs to be a threat to US national security. In 1988 Congress ordered the National Guard into the domestic drug war.

In 1994 the Department of Defense issued a memorandum authorizing the transfer of military equipment and technology to state and local police, and Congress created a program “to facilitate handing military gear over to civilian police agencies.

The mind-set of militarized SWAT teams is geared to “taking out” or killing the suspect– thus, the many deaths from SWAT team utilization.

Many innocent people are killed in night time SWAT team entries, because they don’t realize that it is the police who have broken into their homes. They believe they are confronted by dangerous criminals, and when they try to defend themselves they are shot down by the police.

I know that. Reagan was the worst in this respect. He made economic incentives to the Police so ordinary people became economic profit targets to be pushed into almost any crime. But, many other disciplines have these stick and carrot rules upon them. Civil Air Companies are forced into police spying their passengers under the threat of big fines if any criminal, terrorist, or whatever travel with their airplanes. Banks officials are forced into spying on their customers intake and outtake with threats of big fines, and latest small shop owners are threatened with big fines if their customers arent wearing Covid masks. So instead of doing their original job of policing, air transporting, banking and shop selling, ther are now under Governmental threats of big fines forced into these schemes. Its Politicians and Central Bureaucrats (lawyers) who make these divide and conquer rules, in a “smart” way escaping their responsibility toward the misery it creates toward the civil population. Thats my point. You have to know the police man, the air steward, your bank man, your bakery are blackmailed and threatened into these schemes without their free will. In this light you will try to understand their situation also, and thus get a better attitude to not only police officers but also other professions. The real culprits are the rats in the ministries and at the political level.

I don’t believe you can compare the two periods anymore. The gap of capabilities between the government and citizens are massive.

Tell that to the the Houthis and the Taliban. I’m sure they need a good laugh.

True to a point. The Houthis success is largely due to incompetence of the Saudis and their mercenaries. The Taliban and Viet Cong enjoyed foreign support and I’m sure the Houthis do as well. Let’s not discount the policy used. I don’t believe the Houthis would survive if someone is fully committed to genocide. Trump was right with respect to the fight against the Talibans. The US can easily wipe them off the face of the planet IF we fully commit to genocide. It’s the consequences from the World community that always hinder such plans; assuming full internal support.

Who will come to the aid of the rebellion? If we’re dealing with a protracted conflict, eventually you will need a steady flow of supplies. How will the military fracture? There’s a lot to think about.

Originally you said that it was an impossible task. However, your latest points imply that its possible after all. Therefore we now agree.

Dont discount arms flows from the Southern border, foreign help, a split in the military / security forces, huge number of gun owners, ” opportunistic groups ( i.e. religious, racial, drug gangs, ideological factions ) a huge landmass with many uninhabited areas . The US is more of a powder keg then you suspect.

” as few Trump supporters who believe the president’s false claim that he won the 2020 election turned out for what authorities feared could be violent demonstrations. ”

I dont support the orange buffoon, but the results of this election are clearly suspect.
