Countdown to a civil war? (Rerun)

[Flyin6]

And this is one of the very reasons this Website exists. What if the normal support systems you count on should suddenly no longer work? What would you do? If you haven't prepared, if you are deaf to the noise around you and don't believe evil is closing in and all around, well then you don't have much to worry about, you won't be around long enough to matter should the unspeakable happen...


This is a fascinating (and scary) read.  One of the best nutshell descriptions of our current political situation that I've seen.
   
Dr. Jack Devere Minzey, born 6 October 1928, died 8 April 2018, was the Department Head of Education at Eastern Michigan University as well as a prolific author of numerous books, most of which were on the topic of Education and the Government role therein. (Editor's note)This was the last of his works:
Civil War:  How do civil wars happen?
By Dr. Jack Devere Minzey
 
Two or more sides disagree on who runs the country.  And they can't settle the question through elections because they don't even agree that elections are how you decide who's in charge.  That's the basic issue here  Who decides who runs the country?
 
When you hate each other but accept the election results, you have a country.  When you stop accepting election results, you have a countdown to a civil war.   

The Mueller investigation was about removing President Trump from office and overturning the results of an election.  We all know that. But it's not the first time they've done this.  The first time a Republican president was elected this century, they said he didn't really win.  The Supreme Court gave him the election.  There's a pattern here.   

What do sure odds of the Democrats rejecting the next Republican president really mean?  It means they don't accept the results of any election that they don't win.  It means they don't believe that transfers of power in this country are determined by elections.  That's a civil war. 

There's no shooting.  At least not unless you count the attempt to kill a bunch of Republicans at a charity baseball game practice.  But the Democrats have rejected our system of government.   

This isn't dissent.  It's not disagreement.  You can hate the other party.  You can think they're the worst thing that ever happened to the country.  But then you work harder to win the next election.  When you consistently reject the results of elections that you don't win, what you want is a dictatorship.
 
Your very own dictatorship. 

The only legitimate exercise of power in this country, according to Democrats, is its own.  Whenever Republicans exercise power, it's inherently illegitimate. The Democrats lost Congress.  They lost the White House.  So what did they do?  They began trying to run the country through Federal judges and bureaucrats.  Every time that a Federal judge issues an order saying that the President of the United States can't scratch his own back without his say so, that's the civil war 

Our system of government is based on the Constitution, but that's not the system that runs this country.  The Democrat's system is that any part of government that it runs gets total and unlimited power over the country. 
If the Democrats are in the White House, then the president can do anything  And I mean anything.  He can have his own amnesty for illegal aliens.  He can fine you for not having health insurance.  He can use the IRS as his own police force and imprison citizens who speak against him.  He can provide guns and money (Fast and Furious) (Iran nuclear deal) to other countries to support his own agenda, and watch while one of America's Ambassador's is dragged through the streets and murdered doing nothing to aid our citizens.  His power is unlimited.  He's a dictator.
 
But when Republicans get into the White House, suddenly the President can't do anything.  He isn't even allowed to undo the illegal alien amnesty that his predecessor illegally invented.  A Democrat in the White House has 'discretion' to completely decide every aspect of immigration policy.  A Republican doesn't even have the 'discretion' to reverse him.  That's how the game is played.  That's how our country is run. Sad but true, although the left hasn't yet won that particular fight. 

When a Democrat is in the White House, states aren't even allowed to enforce immigration law.  But when a Republican is in the White House, states can create their own immigration laws.  Under Obama, a state wasn't allowed to go to the bathroom without asking permission.  But under Trump, Jerry Brown can go around saying that California is an independent republic and sign treaties with other countries  The Constitution has something to say about that.  Whether it's Federal or State, Executive, Legislative or Judiciary, the left moves power around to run the country.  If it controls an institution, then that institution is suddenly the supreme power in the land.  This is what I call a moving dictatorship.   

Donald Trump has caused the Shadow Government to come out of hiding:  Professional government is a guild.  Like medieval guilds.  You can't serve in it if you're not a member.  If you haven't been indoctrinated into its arcane rituals.  If you aren't in the club. And Trump isn't in the club.  He brought in a bunch of people who aren't in the club with him. 

Now we're seeing what the pros do when amateurs try to walk in on them.  They spy on them, they investigate them and they send them to jail.  They use the tools of power to bring them down. 

That's not a free country!   

It's not a free country when FBI agents who support Hillary take out an 'insurance policy' against Trump winning the election.  It's not a free country when Obama officials engage in massive unmasking of the opposition.  It's not a free country when the media responds to the other guy winning by trying to ban the conservative media that supported him from social media.  It's not a free country when all of the above collude together to overturn an election because the guy who wasn't supposed to win did. 

Have no doubt, we're in a civil war between conservative volunteer government and a leftist, socialist, Democrat professional government. 

Well now Pilgrims and Patriots, having read the above, I suggest two things:  forward this very timely, very important analysis to those whom you believe think like you do (and those that don't) and make sure you vote on every Election day!

Don, not to highjack.  Keep in mind, when (not if) the fecal matter hits the oscillating device, the government will shut down the internet and cell phone towers as you boys that have been there and done that already know.  That’s standard protocol.  So what are you going to do when your cell phone/smart phone is a brick?

Start thinking about HAM radio.  That’s where the patriots will communicate when it starts to get real.

Not to disagree Charles but when the proverbial poo hits it’s going to be local, local, local. Ham is great but if it’s several hundred miles away it might as well be on the moon.

Shawn.  Check out 2M and 70cm bands. Very local. And other bands can be used local as well.

Tex,

Any possibility of you creating a write-up and posting in the commo section (We have a commo section, right?)

A primmer of the HAM world with focus on equipment, performance, and recommendations for local and over the horizon communication
