organization is not as big of a problem as people realize. individual preparedness is far more important, and unfortunately less common.
does anyone else remember the "starfish vs spider" model? this was how the tea parties confounded the left for so long. we had no leader to attack. no central group to demonize, infiltrate, or scandalize.
organization like this HAPPENS. it happened with the tea parties. it happened with the 912 project. I fully believe that if mr.beck had not started the 912 idea, it would have manifested out of the tea parties organically.
all this takes is one brave soul to stand and say "NO MORE" . the rest will happen, so long as the individuals have prepared. it happened at concord bridge. it happened at the Battle of Athens,TN in 1946

someone will lead. we will not pick this person. fate will pick them. odds are they won't want the title...which is good, because this process is the same way that dictators arise. any man who would willingly seek out that sort of power over other men is someone to be watched closely..more closely that you'd watch a thief. a thief steals THINGS. a leader like that steals EVERYTHING.
now, on to "what to do while we wait"
don't have a gun yet? time to get one. you don't need a fancy uber-"assault"-rifle with all the bells and whistles.a WW1 bolt-action rifle will do just fine. as will a winchester .30-30 or any other hunting rifle. and then practice practice practice.
the hard part will not be rifles. we have plenty of those to go around (at least, many of us do) it will be AMMO. figure out what arms will be available to you and get AMMO for them. 200 rounds minimum, more as you can afford it. common calibers are preferable if you don't know what will be available. .30-06, .308/7.62 NATO, .223/5.56 NATO, .45 ACP, 9mm, 12GA. choking the ammo supply will be how they beat us into submission. they can't directly cut off food, power, internet, gas, water, ect because that means more recruits for us. but they CAN cut off our ammo without waking the mass of couch potatoes out of their slumber.
I'm sure people are thinking "what good can my little rifle do against a tank? or a bomber?"

(I will pull out one important quote. from of all places, "a bug's life"..which was loosely based on "the magnificent seven"..which in turn was loosely based on "the seven samurai")
Hopper: You let one ant stand up to us,then they all might stand up! Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one and if they ever figure that out there goes our way of life! It's not about food, it's about keeping those ants in line. That's why we're going back! Does anybody else wanna stay?
remember that this isn't all about riflecraft. some elements of the french resistance were preparing YEARS before the german invasion, storing the needed equipment and conducting training, and they were successful partly because they had all of that to draw on when the time came. these elements had outside help and funding..which we will never get..so we must prepare even more. learn first aid (or more, if you can), get out and exercise in the wild. practice walking up on people in ordinary situations without them noticing your approach. get and learn how to use a radio, even if it's just an old CB. think of what will be needed when this whole mess solidifies into something more tangible.

progressivism, scorpions, and crossing the rubicon
like all scorpions, progressives cannot divorce themselves from their stings. they simply tell you, as we all drown, that it's "in their nature" and how "this is for the good of everyone".
the rank-and-file WANT to be touchy-feel-good about themselves types... but they're being led by people that don't have a problem with exterminating large parts of the population to obtain their goals.
we've seen this before. every time progressivisim has been tried it has ended in the mass extermination of the opposition.
so, progressives...how many of us are you prepared to kill for your socialist utopia?
we won't quietly go to "re-education camps" that turn into death camps. there will be a lot of loud sounds and blood. mostly yours.
which brings to mind a better question... how many of you progressives are personally prepared to die for your socialist utopia?
high time to re-think where your leaders plan to place that stinger. if you try to take us down, we will make damn sure you go down too.

Washington knew..BE PREPARED TO FIGHT OR BE SLAVES!
"unhappy it is, though, to reflect that a brother's sword has been sheathed in a brother's breast and that the once-happy and peaceful plains of America are either to be drenched with blood or inhabited by a race of slaves. sad alternative! but can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice?"

open letter to glenn beck
(sent to glenn yesterday. my guess is that it will be ignored. but it is important and I thought I should share it.)
mcveigh was definitely NOT a constitutionalist. no matter what he said he was. have your researchers look into the links between him and Elohim City Oklahoma..a "christian identity"/nazi settlement. he spent a few weeks there before heading to oklahoma city.
the only "constitutional" group he attended he was thrown out. bodily. like, 5 guys grabbed him and he caught some air as he went out the door. he wanted to blow stuff up and no one wanted anything to do with him..they knew he was a "fruit or a plant" (a crazy person, or a spy sent by or employed by the FBI or ATF) and no group worth a damn wants either.
the "huttaree milita" you have been talking about does not fit the definition of "militia" as anyone else knows it. they were a private religious-based paramilitary group. you had to have a certain set of religious beliefs to belong. the militia is not a religious organization beyond the religions of the communities they represent. the militia, in it's truest form IS the community itself. any group calling itself a "militia" that is not part of the community is misnamed.
this sort of misnaming happens because the word "militia" has been sensationalized. suddenly everyone who wants to sound more "bad" adds the word "militia" to the name of their group. it's sort of like the words "liberation front" from the '60's.
militias are not anti-police...we treat them like every other government official. when they are within the boundaries set by the constitution, we have no problem. when they step outside those boundaries, we have a problem. again, the same as any other government official. and this is not a problem we solve with force unless force is brought to us first. we reserve the God-given right, enumerated under the 1st amendment, to call a jack-booted thug a jack-booted thug. we understand that police are more likely to be our allies than enemies, and they are human and make mistakes or get bad training/advice. we would like to see them get the opportunity to correct those mistakes, but they don't get to wipe thier boots on the constitution or bill of rights just because they are somehow a special class of citizen.
oh and glenn...you should define the moment that George Washington decided to use violence against what was then the recognized government of the american colonies. was he anti-government? a terrorist? if we had LOST the revolution you can be sure he would have been defined as both.
there IS a point where you have been backed against a wall. where all your other options have been removed. where nonviolence brings one of two things..slavery or death.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves. " Sir Winston Churchill.
I will not live as a slave. I will not fire the first shot. I will not start a fight. but when a fight is brought to me, I will follow god's law.

Justice Breyer on 2nd Amendment: If You Live in DC & Like Shooting Guns You Can Go to Maryland
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWxRnK751MM&feature=player_embedded
so, according to justice breyer, rights are GEOGRAPHIC. so long as they exist somewhere else, they can't be violated.
eventually there will be a 10X10ft area somewhere near washington DC that will be a "free rights zone" where you can publish what you want, say what you want, own a gun, require a warrant for a search, ect. but everywhere else these things will be banned.
why near washington? because tyrants can't stand freedom they don't control. justice breyer is ok with that. in his mind, so long as there is someplace you can exercise your rights, it's all constitutional.
will someone please take a generator to mt.vernon? George Washington is spinning so fast, we may as well get some electricity from it.

for the record....
we are NOT "copycats" of the sipsey street irregulars.
we've been the granite state irregulars since 1995.
I don't personally know mr.Vanderboegh, though I'd like to shake the man's hand.
I do respond to posts over there when the mood strikes. but as far as who came up with "irregulars" first..
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079639/
ok I haven't seen it in years and it wasn't a GREAT movie but it did have the "stand up to the bad guys however you can" message.

cranky old man complains lack of attention
Carl Bussjaeger...whom I had never heard of before yesterday...claims he sent a request to Jack Kimball to fill out his survey.
first he says he used the "contact form" on the website twice. then he says he used the "contact form" once and e-mail once. then he complains when I ask him to clarify which is the actual method he used, and says I am accusing him of malice or incompetence.
I can't help you unless you get your story straight, sir. I can't diagnose the problem until I know the circumstances surrounding it. I AM accusing him of not really trying, and then laying the blame on anyone but himself. jack is VERY accessible. I contact him via his e-mail and he contacts me back usually in less than a day, and I barely know the man.
in all carl's acting like a cranky old man who isn't getting the attention he likes. and throwing a fit that the well-funded, well-connected GO-NH gets jack to fill out THEIR survey and not his...which is almost the same as the GO-NH survey.
membership of GO-NH = 100,000+
readership of crankyguy's blog = who knows.
pretty simple math there.
