Rebellion; Phase 2

2016 seems like yesterday but it’s seven years ago.  And all of the excitement and hope that Donald Trump’s storming of the White House engendered was mostly been beaten out of us by 2020.  We’ve seen the managerial state marshal all its resources; governmental, cultural, financial and informational to crush the rebellion and its adherents.  They’ve been especially cruel to anyone who publicly defied them or attempted to make them look foolish.  Lawfare has been put to very powerful use sending their enemies to prison either by sentence of a kangaroo court or just by perpetual incarceration in advance of a perpetually delayed trial.

Without a doubt the Left won Phase 1 of the Rebellion hands down.  Except for a few outposts like Florida, the country is solidly under the control of the progressives and their agenda is on full display.  There are men in sundresses everywhere you look including heading up government agencies and even in the armed forces.  And the medical profession and the pharmaceutical companies have conspired with sexual deviants in grammar schools to proselytize small children into thinking they have been assigned the wrong sex at birth and need to be mutilated to simulate “curing” this mistake of nature.

The borders have been dissolved and tens of millions of illegal aliens have flooded the country.  The various organs of the progressive establishment have criminalized being “white” and punish this crime by denying employment and also by allowing street thugs to attack white people with impunity, while at the same time prosecuting any white people who attempt self-defense.

The economy is starting to collapse under the combined influence of the COVID lockdowns, the green energy sabotage program and the ridiculous deficit spending of the federal government.  And finally, now Biden is picking fights with Russia and China with the prospect of triggering a nuclear war seen as a feature and not a bug of the program.

So, yeah, the revolution is not going well.

But in a sense there has been progress.  Even the stupidest, most uninformed individuals knows deep down that we no longer live in the old United States where the people who believe in American identity are a silent majority who can throw out the bums when things get out of balance.  I think it’s clear that there won’t be a Reagan revolution anytime soon.  It’s basically the majority of white men with a smattering of women and minorities who believe in the old America of self-sufficiency and normal cultural beliefs versus most women and most minorities who want to be wards of the state and will go along with the woke agenda because they have some preferential standing in its hierarchy.

We have seen a couple of elections and the Left have fixed things pretty solidly.  It would take a cataclysm of biblical proportions to change the outcome.  So that defines Phase 2.  We acknowledge that we are living under the occupation and we’re outvoted on a national level.  It remains to us to begin exploring the boundaries within which we live.  So far, we’ve seen that some states have been able to pursue policies that push back against the federal policies and actions that work to impose leftist ideology and outcomes in non-leftist jurisdictions.  Florida is a prime example of this but even purple states like Virginia have show impulses to push back against things like leftist propaganda programs in their kids’ schools.

On a personal level people in red and blue areas of the country are exploring the choices and activities they can embrace to minimize the leftist impact on their own lives.  Home schooling their children and encouraging their sons to choose trades instead of corporate employment are a couple of ways this is going on.  Accentuating family and community is another way this happens.  Basically, by limiting how much impact the federal programs have on your children you can minimize the damage they do.

Another thing that many people are doing is moving out of blue states and cities.  And this is probably the most powerful action that can be taken at this time.  Moving from a blue city to a rural red state area is the biggest bang for the buck that any American can get.  In terms of personal safety, nothing else even comes close.

So, Phase 2 is coming to terms with reality.  We’re occupied and will be for the foreseeable future.  We’re basically trying to work around the occupation.  What is yet to be seen is exactly how bad it will get.  So far some of the states have tweaked the feds.  For instance, Texas has been transferring illegal aliens by bus to places like New York City and Washington D.C.  And so far, there has been no attempt to thwart this reaction.  But there’s no guarantee this will continue.  So, Phase 2 goes on until we see whether local control can compensate for the federal government’s interference in the lives of Red State Americans.

Once that answer is arrived at, we reach Phase 3.  But that’s several different choices depending on how Phase 2 ends.   I’ll leave that for another day.

25APR2023 – Quote of the Day

The wishes of every human man are, that guilt may not be fixed upon any man; but I confess I am one of those who have not the weakness—which weakness, a Judge at least, and a jury, must get rid of, before they fit themselves to fill the respective stations which they are to fill in the administration of the justice of the country— I say, therefore, I am not one of those who wish under false compassion, inconsistent with the administration of criminal justice, that a person on whom guilt is fairly fixed, should escape the punishment which the law annexes to his guilt.

What’s Next for Tucker Carlson?

Well, now there’s no reason to watch Fox News anymore.  It should be interesting to see how Carlson decides to go forward from here.  I’m assuming he’s not hurting for money.  He should probably start a channel on Rumble and put up a paywall.  He’s one of the more interesting people in broadcasting.  People will pay to get his content.

The other possibility is he goes into politics.  That I see as more problematic.  Politics is a very dirty game.  If you don’t need to use it to make lots of dirty money it won’t be an interesting career.

I think Carlson could form some kind of relationship with the likes of Matt Taibbi, Glenn Greenwald, Salena Zito, Sharyl Attkisson and a few other real journalists to produce a media outlet that would provide the kind of reporting and opinion that can’t be found anywhere else in the media.  They would have believability.  That’s something that is so sorely lacking everywhere else.

If done right and without all the overhead that comes with a Fox News or a CNN, Carlson and a few reporters could break away from the dying landscape of network and cable news shows that no one needs or wants anymore.  News and analysis.  With the internet and a few resources like Rumble and maybe Elon Musk’s Twitter who needs studios and boardrooms?

Come to think of it, Carlson interviewed Musk last week.  Maybe those two could strike up a deal where Tucker’s content was available exclusively on Twitter with some of it behind a paywall.  It could make both of them a lot of money.  And it could serve as a model for the future.  I’ve heard that Musk wants to add a “substack” option to Twitter.  Having someone like Tucker Carlson as his first big “channel” might be just the thing he needs to steer talent to his platform.

So anyway, Tucker’s “firing” could be a very opportune moment to start seeing a new journalism.  Without the bloat of the dinosaur media, a cadre of people who want to tell interesting stories that have some resemblance to objective reality could provide a service that people would be willing to pay for.  I, even I, would pay a little bit for that.

Now it’s also certain that all the usual suspects on the Left will be gunning for Tucker Carlson.  I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a target for the Justice Department’s attack dogs.  Their hatred for him probably rivals how they feel about Donald Trump.  After all he’s another traitor to his class.  They’ve already once gone after his family at home.  He had to move away from Washington to protect them.  This is not a trivial threat.  Hopefully he’s made enough money to be able to afford professional security services.  But no one is safe from the abuse that the FBI can bring to bear.  We’ll have to see whether these problems crop up for him.

Well, these are interesting times.  Tucker Carlson has been the only truthful voice in mainstream news commentary.  I hope that he will be able to find a way to continue shining a light on the criminal activities of the Washington regime.  There isn’t any other voice out there that has both his reach and credibility.  Hopefully someone like Musk who has the reach and also the money to set up a platform for him will come along and take advantage of this interesting opportunity.
