And I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT this to happen:
"Perfect Recipe for Revolution" By Tyler N. Moore, Anarchist/Libertarian Keene Free Press Wednesday June 20, 2007
"The Brown Case: Perfect Recipe for Revolution - a very BAD one"
This is a warning about a violent levée en masse . This is not to say that is not, or never an option, but a warning to think before we leap. We have an insidious enemy who is always thinking a step or two ahead.
The Mister and Doctor Browns' case has the makings in it for the perfect revolution. Perfect, that is, from the prospective of the tyrants in the District. The potential is there for a chain of events which could spell out the demise of hundreds, if not thousands of dissidents, and secure the Federal oppressors' power. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The reaction to Waco was the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building attack, followed by negative media coverage that well sunk the militia movement. The reaction to this maybe much worse. How much worse? Imagine every conspiracy plot, and all the recent anti-'terrorism' legislation coming into play for a government that's been holding their cards tightly, waiting for the perfect moment. If the Federal Agents raid the Brown's and people die, to paraphrase Tom Zarek from Battlestar: Galactica, "there will be assassination attempts. There will be sectarian violence. There will be civil unrest on a scale we've not seen before" (not in recent times anyways). Or, maybe not. Perhaps it will pass like Waco with only one or so acts of retribution. Yet imagine, if you will, this worst case scenario:
At some point the Feds move into Plainfield again, planning on apprehending the 'fugitives'. The inevitable happens, and the armed parties at the Brown's engage the Federal Forces in a gun battle. Many are wounded and killed, mostly on the Browns' side. Among the dead are Ed and Elaine, several militia members, as well as several unarmed and non-violent visitors. I believe we can all put a face and a name on these victims is we so desired. There's a bit of controversy on the mass media that enrages a few people, however the stories paint the Brown's as "gun-toting right-wing separatist nuts". The reaction among the militias and through the internet is different. Calls for revolution, reprisals and a general uprising are called for. Non-violent protest are organized but somewhere at sometime the first destructive device goes off. Maybe at a police station near Plainfield. Maybe in Washington D.C. But several are killed and wounded. Soon after several shootings occur, targeting people involved in the case. Federal Marshals, Judges, attorneys, IRS agents, perhaps even jurors. Another bombing, followed by several militias declaring "war" on the United States. People connected with the Brown's are detained as "people of interest", many of them non-violent, though they have lengthy records of civil disobedience. Under new anti-terrorist laws, they are denied many of the traditional rights they would have once had. Attacks continue, here and there and gain (state-spun) media attention.
The Department of Homeland Security takes on the case, declaring the self-styled militias, "enemy combatants". Raids commence to seize their assets and arrest many "conspirators". Mass rallies pop up, but Federal Agents inside them, and well directed media attention gives the impression of mass rioting and the purpose of bringing attention to the murders at Plainfield and the Governments use of force is ignored. Some of the protest turn violent (spurred on either by militant patriots, or federal embeds), and many are injured and killed, much to the delight of the media who fills the American mind with images of "bomb throwing anti-government types". This is when things turn nasty.
Anti-government militias hit a high profile target. Maybe a high administrator in the Federal Reserve (part of their claimed Illuminati Cabal), or in the IRS. Perhaps a governor or a senator. More rioting breaks out as other groups join in, the murder of Ed and Elaine serve only as a backdrop for other groups, as anarchist, anti-globalist and separatist exploit the situation. For this the State does what it does best, and eight months into the conflict, she pulls out the big guns. This is when the "shooting war" really begins. A state of emergency is declared, thousands are arrested, either through direct connections to violent acts, or for strong, and even militant anti-government postings on the net. The reaction is more violence from both sides till the strong arm of the State has no choice (in its own warped mind) but to crush the 'resistance'. Martial law is declared in major cities, and in a de facto form across the country. Political enemies to "the powers that be" get caught in the middle, and detained and even killed, along with the radical militant elements. Everyone from anti-war protesters to environmentalist are caught up in the security crackdown.
This continues into the 2008 elections, where the election issues shift from the normal drone of health care and Social Security reform, to the issue of "Domestic Security". A few candidates try to use the Brown's case to show that the Federal Government has over steps their bounds, however a well-directed media, as well as neo-conservative candidates skews the facts to treat these candidates as "terrorist sympathizers". Dr. Ron Paul's campaign was torn apart early on, when many of his supporters were arrested under the crackdown, and Dr. Paul himself demonized as a supporter of "terrorism". Early comments made in the election concerning 9-11 as well as the Brown's case and his appearance on "radical" films and radio shows (eg. Alex Jones and Aaron Russo), results in him being investigated by several Federal entities, that are well publicized by the Media to trash his campaign. With the grassroots movement killed by legislation passed after the attacks began, the mass media once again uses its powerhouse of information to ensure the victory of a high profile neo-conservative candidate. Crackdowns increase till any form of dissent is crushed. Our character here is not a deeply religious man, but considers himself a Catholic. That is enough to pull some of the Hawkish social conservatives over to him. Once in power, 'he is completely single-minded and has no regard for the political process'. The constitution, though still the touted "supreme-law" of the land is nothing but a memory. Sweeping legislation passed by the new congress and signed by the new president, makes free speech, gun ownership and the right to general dissent a distant and faint memory. The police state is now firmly in control of Amercia. The North American Union is put into place, further enslaving both the populations of Mexico and Canada in a silent coup, under the direction of the new President. Across the globe the Internet, a "hive of the rebellious agents", is strictly controlled. Many cities enact military enforced curfews, and the militarized police forces ensure an unarmed population stays in line. The Imperialist Wars continue with little protest back home and liberty in America dies in a thunderous applause in his first State of the Union address.
The 'revolution' is over.
And we loose... Everything...
If tragedy strikes Plainfield, there will be a reaction by many. Sadly, I see it only playing into the hands of the oppressors if we do not guard ourselves.
