AmeriGeddon Film: How To Resist Martial Law...

[Jack4jill]

Imagine living in this state of paranoia all day long? It must wind them up like clocks when they aren't cleaning their guns or fantasizing about how they'll protect their compounds.

They keep predicting the attack and it never comes. It's Black Helicopter Interuptus. We're just teasing them without actually rounding them up into the FEMA camps protected by our jack-booted thugs armed with 70 billion rounds of ammo, ten head-shots per person. They so want to go to war and instead it's go to work, take out the trash, and wash up for dinner. It must just about be killing them.

You should read the old analogy of the sheep dog, wolf and sheep.

There are 3 distinct personality types in human society.

Ever notice how just about everybody thinks the other guy is the sheep, they are always the sheep dog, and the wolf is the one they are worried about when it's the sheep that will most likely mow you down in a panic?

Myself, I just watch the show, and make comment on it.

No I havent. What you're referring to are a bunch of trans sheep who are arguing over who really isn't a sheep.

Dogs and wolves know EXACTLY who is who and which is which. Only the sheep are confused about it because their minds can't wrap around the idea of being a dog or wolf.

Shit, if that were satire I couldn't have done it any better.

Like I said....if you don't know already.....

I know that all three are quite useful, in appropriate numbers that is.

 

[westwall]

Just saw Obama in a black helicopter, he waved to me. Must be a good sign.

What is this fucking Armageddon fetish that afflicts so many conservatives. Many of them actually seem disappointed when society *doesn't* collapse, doesn't fall into chaos, doesn't become a police state.

Its one of the reasons I don't want republicans in leadership positions. When their party is increasingly convinced of the impending collapse of our nation.......they may well find a way to make their prophecy come true.

I want leaders invested in our success. Not a near sexual obsession with our collapse.

I'm gonna have this discussion with ya and hope it's fair and civil. You call it an obsession. Well...it's not just conservatives. Everyone loves apocalypse movies. The Walking Dead for example.

I'm one of the people you speak of. I absolutely love apocalyptic novels like One Second After. I'd be considered a very mild "prepper".

Human nature is to defend ones self. In some way or another. We don't have a true imminent threat right now in America....all partisanship aside....we dont. And we are animals....so we look for one. How do we better secure our existence.

The human brain is primed for scarcity and threat. If there are too many berries, who gives a shit? If there aren't enough, bad things can happen.

I can wrap my head around folks being more responsive to negative input. My concern isn't receptivity.....but *conclusions*. With conservative after conservative concluding that we're fucked. That our nation is going to implode. And digging holes in the ground in preparation of the imminent collapse they've prognosticated.

For fuck's sake, the Republican GOP is now voting on *secession*. With the governor sending 'observers' to watch routine army training maneuvers for an 'invasion of texas'. One of the stupidest things I've ever heard. Gold bugs use this obsession with collapse to sell gold. Gun manufacturers use this obsession with collapse to sell guns.

Again and again, gullible, impressionable people are being convinced of imminent doom.....as part of someone else's marketing plan. And this has consequences.

It's comforting. It feels comfortable to assess what the next possible threat is....and feel prepared.

All too often these feelings of 'preparation' actually create the situation they're preparing for. You think Zimmerman would have followed a 6' black guy into the dark if he *wasn't* packing? He literally created the confrontation he carried the gun to protect himself from.

You see pointless escalation again and again. Where words or even fists could resolve a situation.....but guns are used instead. Police escalating situation with militarized responses to peaceful protests. All forgetting the overwhelming axiom that confrontation begets confrontation.

Wow. That's a new one. Prepping for an earthquake will actually cause it to happen. Who knew!

The paranoia of the right-wing is like stupidity, it's unlimited.

So no governments in world history have turned on their own people and killed millions of them???? Y

you need to research the history of socialism and communism.

Yeah, I'm sure that will be happening here anytime now.

At least that's what people have been saying, for the last 100 years.

The funny thing about those "100 year prophecies" is that - at some point - the 100 years becomes now. I truly believe that this country is dangerously close to tyranny right now. It's coming - just as it has in every empire that has ever existed on this earth. Why do you think we would be any different? What with the high quality of america hating liberals we now have?



Nothing worse than keeping your head buried in the sand - but it's your choice...

What keeps this country together right now is a power grid and a banking system. You see some kind of national violent takeover coming when what you'll have instead is you and the neighbor discussing over the fence if he has spare gasoline for your spare potatoes?

Take out the grid and we have to talk to each other again but it won't be while sanding in line for FEMA to put a bullet in your head. If you are very, very lucky, they'll have a truck of bottled water but don't bet on it. Their hands or going to be so full they won't have time to load you into the railroad cattle cars. Those will be used to try and get meat to where people are running low on what's left of the pasta and beans.

The US will end with a whimper, not a bang.

Indeed. "This is the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang - but a whimper"


I don't forsee any kind of "violent takeover" necessarily. I see a gradual case of eroding freedoms until it is too late to do anything about it. THEN, i see people standing - but it will be far too late.

Look around you and tell me that we still live in the "land of the free".

Compromises. You can't dump toxic waste in the nearest stream but you can drive across the country at your leisure and spend your nights eating whatever you like and browsing porn. Still pretty free in the end, just keep it under 80.

 

[paulitician]

But is it irresponsible to talk about it? Because martial law has been used all over the world throughout history to inflict tyranny.

In the context of the government being the perpetrator of the 'major terrorist attack' as part of some master plan to subjugate the population.

Um, yes.

The sickness that is tearing the republican party apart begins with levels of batshit paranoia bordering on insanity that is shockingly common place among conservatives. Your ilk are letting fear drive you like animals before a whip. With each lash being laid by corporate conspiracy theorists who use your gullibility and willingness to gobble batshit as an integral component in their marketing plan.

Oh I see. Yes....on this point I'm with you. I don't think there is any large plot by our government to turn on the population. It would be such a massive operation and plan....it would already be leaked or exposed.

Agreed.

I do think...it fact...i KNOW it....the hat government at all level is planning for any attack or disaster that may come. And it's ok. Same way the military always has war plans prepared for war against China or Russia or...Mexico or any other threat. Doesn't mean we are gonna start the war. Just plan for it.

The US has contingency plans for an attempted invasion by Canada. There are entire teams of people whose sole job is to come up with vaguely plausible if ridiculously unlikely scenarios and invent effective responses for them. Just in case.

That doesn't mean that Canada trying to 'invade' is 'likely'. And 'likely' is the standard being offered here for whatever scenarios the conspiracy faithful have made up and put into their 'movie'.

What are those 'contingency plans?' I'm interested in hearing how our Government plans to respond to a Canadian invasion. Please enlighten us.

Canada? Oh my God, I must arm myself with a tank gun to protect the gin, and Cheese Nips.

Sounds about right. But since it was brought up, I am interested in hearing what our Government's contingency plans are for a 'Canadian Invasion.' Could be a hoot.

Perhaps. If your idea of freedom is driving 80 - then so be it. Try praying out loud in a public school. Try exercising your "free speech" by calling someone a "******" or perhaps a "faggot". That's the point - we have lost a myriad of freedoms in this country under the guise of "political correctness" - while not actually breaking a "law" - we are prosecuting now by behavior. And, we use these "laws" to rob ourselves of our very freedoms.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if next, we begin referring to ourselves as "comrade". Like I said earlier, one day, America will wake up and say to itself - what the hell happened to us? By then - it will be too late.

The paranoia of the right-wing is like stupidity, it's unlimited.

So no governments in world history have turned on their own people and killed millions of them???? You need to research the history of socialism and communism.

Western Capitalist nations have racked-up a huge body count.

Research post WWII interventions in the global south and Mideast ("3rd world"). Capitalism is the most efficient and powerful bulldozer on earth and it will trade blood for things like oil and other precious resources if profit and progress hangs in the balance.

I'm not complaining because I'm a benefactor of military/expansionary capitalism - but I certainly wouldn't celebrate ANY big government (socialist or capitalist) because all BIG governments play brutal hardball to extract resources from the globe.

And all government's lie to the women and children back on the homeland - because people like you can't handle the truth about how men like Dick Chaney turns the pig into the sausage - so you can eat the steak with your pretty little stories about how freedom is on the March.

Son, geopolitics is a contact sport. If a foreign nation lives atop resources that we - a capitalist superpower - needs, than that little pissant nation better grab its ankles and wait for the sweet embrace of freedom.

Turn off talk radio son. Research all the western lead military interventions since WWII. Capitalist superpowers kick ass and spill blood with more efficiency than any force on earth. Have the courage to own it and enjoy the fruits of power. Life is a jungle. Don't apologize for being the lion.

It always comes back to that, doesn't it? I don't know - but I would bet that good old King George killed as many people (per capita) in the name of "The King".

One thing about Capitalism is that it breeds "invention". We kill more effectively than at any time in the history of man. And, as funny as you might see it as - a man by the name of Antonin Kalashnikov has probably killed more people on this planet than any other "soviet". Go figure. So, the moral is - humans kill each other. Been going on since Cain and Able. Frankly, I don't see it stopping anytime soon.....

Seriously. In case of a post-apocalyptic event, martial low or libertarian social justice gangs will occur in some areas. Women and minorities are going to be abused again, particularly if our energy and technology is reduced to steam, coal oil, and sweat labor of humans and animals.

Sounds like you have a plan there Jammie-boi!

You could not survive the first winter if that every occurred. I and mine would for years to come.
