If you wish to survive thru some interesting times, you have to have some sort of basic plan. One way to try to prepare is to see what has worked in the past. One very deep rabbit hole is trying to understand how somehow the Irish have continued to exist and in fact have been mostly independent for about a century. One take away of such a study is that it was an attitude, not a revolution. A piece posted in Survival Blog the last couple days both explains it and leads to more posts on the subject. On Irish Democracy. The Powers That Be are greedy This approach calls for “Gray Man”, “Going Galt”, and “Irish democracy”. One of the references listed in part 2 was a post written by Claire Wolfe and in her again active blog. Well worth reading, but be aware as usual with her posts, a very thought provoking and very deep rabbit hole. I know I am preaching to the choir, but at times we need an alternative to the Armored Wheelbarrow posts and to be reminded that we are not alone in this struggle. Outlaw Moles: Now more important than ever Interesting in the differences between the Scots open defiance and war and the Irish "getting along" and throwing sand in the gears when ever possible. If you wish to read some thought provoking comments, which Wolfe always is, and be lead to some other very good posts on other blogs, this is a great place to start. https://www.clairewolfe.com/ As usual this is a continuation of her excellent idea that "its to early to shoot the bastards and too late to change things". The Irish would in their wisdom say, its never to late or the Jews would say "next year in Jerusalem ", both take the longer run view.
Now you're talking Duane! I've been saying for years we need to think and do like the Irish, catchy patriotic songs and sayings, open and covert resistance, organization, and plan, plan, plan... "UP THE IRA!"...er... that's the Idaho Republican Army.
Yup, gorilla tactics all round. Use the enemy's strengths to create weakness, and exploit weakness to your advantage. Rules for Radicals works both ways, know the "Rules" and change them to suit your needs! Be Everywhere and Nowhere at the same time, be a Ghost, a grey man/woman, a gorilla, and when the time comes, be as violent as needed, show no quarter, and no mercy for you will receive none! Exact a cost so expensive to bear that your enemies will want no part of it, and then take back what is rightfully yours! The Irish have been quite successful in this, costing the English such a toll as to make it not worth the effort, and that's the secret, be as big a pain in the ass as you can until the other side gives up in disgust!
