When All Your Options Are Bad

A friend in the UK brought to my attention the crimes against liberty, history, culture, race and sovereignty being perpetrated on his country by its own government, and the EU bureaucrats.

I made a snarky comment that it's time for armed insurrection in England...but that...whoops!...they took away all the guns!

But this is deadly serious. No place for snide remarks. Life and Liberty are on the line.

History as proven that the first step to enslaving a people is disarming them. It happens every single time. The fact that this lesson is never learned is one that makes me doubt the intelligence of our race. How is it possible that we allow ourselves, regularly, to be stripped of the one thing that might defend us against tyranny, and ensure liberty?

But, it is only a temporary situation. One that can be altered by a simple act of personal will.

Guns are illegal. Against the law. Proscribed. But what does that really mean? It means that the government says you can't own a gun. Law-abiding citizens do what the government says. And in this instance, they become victims of those that don't do what the government says and keep their guns —the outlaws—and of the government itself who has disarmed the many which can now be controlled by the few.

How many police are there in the UK compared to the number of "law-abiding citizens"?
How many police with guns will it take to control an unarmed populace?
How many police with guns will it take to control an armed populace in rebellion?

We GIVE our power away, without a fight, when we allow a corrupt government to control us because we consider ourselves too law-abiding to take what the same corrupt government has chosen to call—in its own interests and for its own protection, and the maintenance of its own power—illegal action.

Here's the conundrum: Most people are good, normal, average, kind, and law-abiding. Their parents and grandparents and ancestors back into history were. They expect and hope their descendants will be as well. Life is comfortable, pleasant, safe, rewarding, enjoyable.

None of us wants to do anything crazy or extreme, break the social contract, become an outlaw... and risk losing everything we know and love: family, home, job, friends, social circle, retirement plans, health care, bank accounts, credit rating...courting imprisonment, and even death itself.

We are not insane, and doing such a thing is insanity itself. We may be ostracized by our communities, shunned by decent society, hunted by the authorities.

While now, we enjoy our gardening, our beer, a burger, sex and the cinema. Everything is so normal, so dependable, so secure.

Well, except for immigration, foreign gangs on the move, intolerance growing, violence in the streets, abandonment of our principles, our history, our religion, our traditions, our pride and our strength. But still, our houses are not threatened, our cars not burnt, our lives not directly touched. We hold on, and hold out. Carrying on as though nothing had changed, even as we know it to be all slipping away into a dark and furious future.

To DO something would end the pleasant daydream that we can avoid the plague that's ravaging the land.

The step from law-abiding to outlaw is the biggest anybody can take. It puts us at odds with all we thought we believed in. All that sustained us through a lifetime. The chasm between them is awesome in its implications.

Even in America, known for the "individuality" of its citizens, we don't like making a spectacle of ourselves; being seen as paranoid, crazy, extremist. It's embarrassing. It's not normal. It isn't done by respectable people. Here too, the social pressure to conform, to go along, is immense.

But it seems to me that our options are only two:

1) Remain an obedient, controlled, defenseless Victim-Serf.
2) Become an armed, prepared, awake free Citizen-Outlaw.

#1 leads to Buchenwald; secret police; tyranny; fear; oppression; a broken spirit
#2 might lead to the gallows, but with an uncorrupted soul; a whole, free spirit

#2 might also "Secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity"..as the preamble of The Constitution has it.

Our Founders thought it worth the risk when things got bad enough. I think we can all agree that their results were spectacular: The freest, richest, most egalitarian and generous country in the history of the world.

And for us at first, the risk need not be great. It's not necessary to mount an army against the government at the moment. But it is a good time to start preparing for that eventuality, just in case. Quietly, discreetly, individually, or in very small intimate groups.

Guns are available everywhere. Like illegal drugs, they can be had in every corner of the world from the English countryside to the jungles of Indonesia. There are gun-runners operating in every country. There are for sale in every city.

They are illegal. Not unavailable.

No one who would fight for freedom has an excuse for being unarmed. Those in countries who have outlawed arms take more risk to own them, but are more at risk if they don't. Their governments are already on the familiar, well-trodden road to oppression and tyranny. Believe history.

Break the illegal, immoral, fascist law. Buy guns. Learn to use them. (It's not a mystery, everything you need is on the internet) Stock up on ammunition.

Encourage amenable, discreet close friends to do the same. Pool your resources.

Somebody at your local pub probably knows somebody who knows somebody...that's how it works. You may never need it. Wouldn't that be nice? If so, you only spent a little money and a little time. But if you need it, and you don't have it....who have you to blame for your slavery?

Keep it safely stored, hidden and secret. Nobody but you and those you choose to tell need ever know you own it. Be discreet. Don't get too drunk. Don't talk too much. Stay out of trouble. You will have taken on the role of Warrior. You must also employ the discipline.

Remember, the Minutemen who fought the Revolutionary War were farmers and tradesmen and merchants. They weren't Special Forces running Black Ops. And you don't have to be either, to fight for Freedom, to win a War, to save a Nation.
