Is It Too Soon for Drone Strikes on Antifa?

photog Current Events , ,

I was trying to imagine what being a normal American living in Portland Oregon must be like.  The only analogy I could think of was being a Christian inside of the ISIS caliphate.  Living in fear of an insane regime that hates normalcy.  Portland is on day 96 of the Reign of Terror.  Most of the businesses in the downtown area that is permanently infested with hominid vermin have permanently closed up.  Hopefully the ones that weren’t dependent on urban foot traffic have moved to safer areas.  Oregon is a blue state and I’m sure the majority of the population around Portland are sympathetic to the agenda that the Antifa/BLM lunatics are espousing.  For that reason, I don’t feel too bad about the collateral damage that would occur if the Pentagon were called in to perform a series of surgical strikes to decapitate Antifa.  And the word decapitate is sort of deceptive.  That implies cutting off the head.  Antifa doesn’t have a head or brain or even a backbone.  It’s more like a giant jellyfish.  All stingers, all slime and no brain.

But I digress.  A city and a state that would allow a festering sore like the Portland rebellion to just go on and on deserves no pity.  Whatever funding Portland (and Oregon) currently gets from the federal government should be held up until order is restored.  After what has gone on at that federal courthouse, I sincerely hope that the FBI already has the identity of all the rioters, especially the ones that used lasers to blind some of the federal agents, and rounds them up and carts them off to prison.

Antifa and BLM are criminal organizations.  They need to be treated as such.  The RICO laws were enacted for just such a purpose.  Their funding needs to be seized, their leaders arrested and prosecuted and all their moronic followers given a few years in prison to allow them to see the error of their stupid ways.  Currently they are providing the Republicans with the winning hand they need to prevail in the November election but to allow these people to inflict so much harm on normal Americans without being punished is an outrage.  They have destroyed the lives and livelihood of thousands of families.  They have disrupted and degraded the world we live in.  If they are allowed to go back to their parents’ basements and play video games without suffering any consequences for their crimes then there is something seriously wrong with our system.

You know, my post title is wrong.  We don’t need drone strikes.  Portland should be evacuated at bayonet point, burned to the ground, bulldozed flat and the ground salted.  A statue should be erected showing a stream of lemmings running off a cliff and piling up dead at the bottom.  The lemmings should have nose-rings, tattoos and skate boards.  Maybe the inscription should simply read, “Dude!”

We will probably prevail in the November election.  There is some consolation in that.  But the fact that whole swaths of this country are now irredeemably controlled by the criminally insane and their facilitators does not give me any hope that we can avoid a reckoning down the road.  These people were completely willing to burn down their own cities to score political points.  We’re not going to be able to reason with them.  We have to come up with ways to protect ourselves from their spasms of rage.  Red states will have to work out mechanisms to neutralize the psychos holed up in some of their urban centers.  Purple states like Wisconsin and Minnesota are going to have to make a choice.  Do they want to be like Illinois or Iowa?

But as I’ve said before we really owe Antifa and BLM a vote of thanks.  When they dropped the mask and showed their true colors, they did a million times more to wake up sleep-walking America than all the red-pilled bloggers and pundits ever could.  What we do with all these awakened Americans is the important question.  How do we use the opportunity?  Let’s hope President Trump has a plan to punish our enemies.  After all they are his enemies too.

Selective Abandonment of the Law

If I were President Trump, when I got in front of the microphone at the Republican convention, I would address the citizens living in blue states across the country and ask, “Have you had enough of your democrat masters feeding you to the mob?  If so, then vote them out of office and try the Republicans for a change.  They’re no smarter but they are a little less evil.”

If a state decides to pick and choose who doesn’t have to obey the law and who does isn’t that the same behavior, we passed the civil rights laws to prevent back in the 1960s?  We now have mobs all around the country burning, looting and assaulting innocent Americans with virtual immunity from police action while anyone who tries to resist this felonious attack on property and life is immediately arrested and charged to the fullest extent of the law.

If I were a local, I’d want the mayor of Kenosha and the governor of Wisconsin prosecuted for civil rights violations.  This same playbook was used months ago in the adjoining state of Minnesota.  There is no longer any excuse that they didn’t know what the result of pulling back the police would be.  This is a premeditated sacrifice of the livelihoods and lives of the people of Kenosha to the political allegiance of these politicians.

I guess we’re about to find out if the people of Kenosha are okay with having their city sacked by vandals.  The mayor is up for re-election this year.  I would approximate his chances as 0.0%.  The governor has two years before his election but unless something even more horrible happens that allows the Republicans to take the blame, I’d say his chances are 0.1%.

I read an article that asked a bunch of people in Wisconsin whom they were going to support for President in November and even lifelong Democrats who hate President Trump said they were going to vote for him.  So at least some good has come out of this fiasco.  But why doesn’t the Department of Justice intervene and hold these people accountable for their abandonment of their own citizens?  All they have to do is interview the police and find out if orders were issued to permit the violence that is being perpetrated daily in these cities.  Why isn’t the FBI identifying the ringleaders in these Antifa/BLM gangs and drag them away as domestic terrorists?  It gets hard to believe that there is anyone who cares about these people whose lives are being destroyed.

What I want to hear come out of the Republican convention is that justice will be served against the people who perpetrated and the people who abetted and even the people who allowed this reign of terror to go on and on for months.  The Democrats have turned this country into a banana republic.  Portland and Seattle might as well be in Venezuela.  The leaders use mobs of partisans to terrorize and silence their enemies and law only applies to whom the leaders say it does.  Lori Lightfoot, the noxious Mayor of Chicago is okay with the mob burning down other people’s neighborhoods but has a special police detachment reserved for protecting her home.

The first one who should be charged is that half-wit Jacob Frey.  The DOJ should charge him with the damage that was done to all the businesses in Minneapolis.  And he should be held accountable for any deaths and injuries that occurred because of his abandonment of his city to the mob.

Next should be the idiot governor of Minnesota.  His refusal to utilize the National Guard when the problem was till manageable was equally culpable with Frey’s idiocy.

The rest of the conspirators, the mayors of the rest of the blue cities, New York, LA, Seattle, Chicago, Portland, etc., should also be held accountable.  With the murder rates skyrocketing in many of these places serious charges should be levied against all of them.

Will any of this happen?  I’m guessing no.  As an alternative, do you think the idiot Republicans would at least run on the rioting as a way to try and regain control of the House of Representatives and bolster their hold on the Senate.  It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that Americans, even Americans in blue states have had enough of watching the United States turned into Beirut.

Something’s Happening Here.  What It is Ain’t Exactly Clear

Kenosha has added a new dimension to the Antifa/BLM campaign.  For the first time force is being introduced against the rioters.  A 17-year-old kid with a rifle seems to have juxtaposed himself between the rioters and Kenosha and the result is two rioters dead and another one with a big chunk of his arm blown off.  The question is where will it go from here?  In a sensible time, Wisconsin’s governor would declare a state of emergency and shut down the riots.  That would allow him to arrest anyone who wanted to keep this thing going.  I read that he is doubling the National Guard presence to 250.  Since the number of protesters is in the thousands this is another way of saying he won’t be stopping the riots.  So, the potential for more anti-riot resistance is possible.

I think there are three types of resistance.  One is where local people arm themselves and defend their property at the end of a gun barrel.  This has limited effect because the rioters will just move along to the next property where the owner doesn’t have armed friends.  This type of resistance is already happening.

The other type is what this kid did.  A group forms with the objective to protect a neighborhood.  They’ll attempt to patrol an area and interfere with rioting by stepping between the rioters and their victims.  This could be effective but if the state sides with Antifa and BLM you could end up in prison for life.

The third type are guerilla warriors who take up sniping positions and use terror to frighten off Antifa.  If you look at the Antifa types they aren’t exactly Rambo.  I imagine that it wouldn’t take many sniper victims before the rioters gave up on their nocturnal fun and games.  This option is very unlikely because it is a purely ideological decision that also requires a very uncommon skill set.  I would say really the only effective choice is a neighborhood patrol by men who are committed to saving their homes and livelihoods by any means possible.  That has happened in Idaho once already during these riots but that is a rather special case.

Is Kenosha the place where a backlash happens?  Hard to say.  Wisconsin is purple and that doesn’t bode well for anyone who has to stand trial there.  But there may be some people who have finally reached the point where they’ve stopped caring and just want to make the madness end.  We should know soon enough.  By tonight it will be time for Antifa to begin trying to burn out the next neighborhood businesses in line.  If another rioter ends up with a bullet between the eyes then we’ll know that another option exists to waiting for police that never show up.

But all this still leaves the question in November is America going to vote for or against the rioters.  Wisconsin is another battleground state.  It would seem to me that seeing their neighbors in Kenosha burned out of their homes and businesses would provide them with an object lesson as to what voting Democrat does for your safety and security.

In Praise of Civic Nationalism (At Least My Version Any Way)

photog Current Events, OCF , , , ,

Among the Dissident Right, the CivNats (as they call them) are almost an epithet.  Maybe not as despised as the NeoCons or the Libertarians but close behind.  And in a way I see their point.  The Civic Nationalists have allowed themselves to be gaslit by the Uniparty for the last fifty years.  For pointing this out to me I will always be indebted to these merchants of hate.  But as incisive as their thoughts are regarding the details of how the Uniparty uses identity politics against the white people of America I can’t come around to their idea that every ethnic and racial group is bound to face off against each other over the carcass of the United States of America.  To my way of thinking, that would be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

I am not a descendant of the Mayflower pilgrims.  And my people weren’t born within a thousand miles of England.  Other than possible sentry duty on Hadrian’s Wall during the early centuries of the Christian era all of my people had spent their time in southern Italy for as far back as our family tree can show.  But I don’t think any Standishes or Bradfords were ever brought up more patriotically American than my family was.  And having grown up in New York City I met many immigrants who came to this country with the sole object of making their children as proudly American as was humanly possible.  And this was in a city where the various ethnic groups treated each other with all the fondness that the various groups in Beirut currently do (well, short of RPG fire anyway).

I once met a man on the subway who had fled from China by swimming across the bay to Hong Kong.  He and his two brothers attempted it together.  One brother was dragged back, the other brother drowned.  But this man made it.  When he found out that Hong Kong would revert to China one day he decided to come to America.  He was a lower working-class fellow but he invited me to his apartment for dinner.  When he told me how he taught his children to revere America as the greatest country in the world because of its freedom and justice he sounded like a Frank Capra movie.  I was amazed.  This was back in the mid-eighties and New York had become a crime ridden hellhole with racial animosity at the boiling point.  But here was this man who could barely speak English and struggling to make ends meet speaking with an almost religious fervor about his adopted country.  It was kind of inspiring.  To me it was a kindred spirit to how my family was raised. We believed that myth.

Now here we are in 2020.  Antifa are the children of the Mayflower descendants, the top of the heap, and they don’t believe the myth.  To them America is a hate filled racist death camp.  Then you have BLM.  They are the descendants of the black slaves, the bottom of the heap, and they believe the same thing.  So that just leaves us, the middle of the heap.  Some of us still believe.  And I know the myth can work because I’ve seen it.  But it only works for those who don’t want to destroy what’s here.  My grandparents didn’t have a dream of turning America into Naples or anywhere else in Italy.  That Chinese fellow didn’t want to resurrect Canton here.  He wanted his children to speak English and watch the Mets play baseball on channel 9.  My ancestors didn’t get here until long after the Civil War but I have no desire to pull down statues of confederate soldiers or Founding Fathers.  That’s as bad as the Nazis burning books on relativistic physics just because Einstein was Jewish.  This country has a history.  It includes acts of great bravery and acts of down right cowardice.  There has been burning hatred and great compassion.  But that history is real.  Revisionists are retelling it from one point of view and want nothing else to remain.  But I’ll have none of that.

So, here’s my version of civic nationalism.  If your idea of America is that it is a terrible place founded by evil white people who need to expiate the sins of their fathers copiously and endlessly, then you’re not an American.  Even if you are Thomas Jefferson’s multi-great-grandson, you aren’t an American.  You’re nothing.  But if you believe that with all its warts and all its mistakes that the United States of America is the single greatest experiment in human governance since Adam and Eve were given the Garden then you are an American and my brother.  I don’t particularly care if you are white, black, red, brown, yellow or even green.  As long as you stand for the Star-Spangled Banner, Pledge Allegiance with your hand over your heart and love this country for what it has always been, then you’re an American.  The main thing is you believe in the Bill of Rights and the rule of law.  Don’t try to take away our guns just because your old country didn’t have them.  Don’t try to stop people from speaking their minds just because it might hurt someone’s feelings.  Don’t expect us to suspend our immigration laws just so a few more of your cousins can jump the border.  Don’t try to erase our history or inflict guilt on us for being successful.  Speak English and bring your children up to love this country and its history.  And whatever you do don’t have anything to do with antifa, BLM or the Democrat party.  They’re all Marxists.  It would help if you like baseball instead of soccer or cricket but that is a minor thing.

So that is the coalition I want, true believers.  But I won’t include anyone in who kowtows to the thugs who hate America.  You’re either proud of this country or you’re just a freeloader looking to tear off a piece of its wealth.  I’m guessing there are still millions of us.  And having a common point of view gives us an identity and orients us politically and culturally.  And that’s the only use of the words identity and orientation I’ll ever need.
