Reading around the blogosphere I find that even moderate voices are coming around to the realization that they only have three choices, Fold, Flee or Fight.\u00a0\u00a0 And the top choice this week seems to be flee<\/a>.\u00a0 What complicates it is the fact that they don\u2019t differentiate fleeing a blue state vs. fleeing the country altogether.\u00a0 And with good reason.\u00a0 No one knows whether heading to a red state is just a very short-term delay in the life sentence that the federal government is declaring against all its enemies.\u00a0 But it is sort of encouraging to see that others are coming to the same conclusions.<\/p>\n

What also remains to be seen is if some kind of coordination will be the popular approach.\u00a0 After all there is safety in numbers and if you are planning to uproot your whole life it might be helpful to have a few or a few thousand comrades along to establish a beachhead somewhere and share the expense and risks of starting a new life.\u00a0 I have actually had a number of conversations with folks who are earnestly searching for destinations that won\u2019t treat them like what they are experiencing in the present state of Woke-istan.\u00a0 And they have been looking at ways to band together.\u00a0 If a dozen families buy a big chunk of land, they can each put up a house and still leave a common area for recreation, socializing and community projects of various sorts.\u00a0 These communities are always fraught with the danger that civil strife will show up even in these Gardens of Eden but life is full of trade offs and compared to having a BLM mob heading for your homestead the prospect of battling over the height of your forsythia bushes seems a reasonable risk.<\/p>\n

But I am not minimizing the risk and trauma associated with uprooting yourself.\u00a0 Obviously few people will be intentionally heading into the wilderness or the jungle but just moving to a new town is a dislocation.\u00a0 Imagine having to learn a new language and culture.\u00a0 That\u2019s the one I\u2019m chewing over right now.\u00a0 Even moving to a place like Italy, the land of my ancestors, would be a shock.\u00a0 I am an American.\u00a0 I never wanted to even leave this country for work or vacation.\u00a0 It is the world I love and I love what it stood for.\u00a0 Italy is just another strange place where people have a history of being ruled by gangsters.\u00a0 The fact that America has become just another country among the rest of them doesn\u2019t make it any easier to move there.\u00a0 But maybe enough of the good things in the old America has rubbed off on these strange places that they will be good places to live.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been thinking about Hungary and Poland.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know how they\u2019ll feel about me but I\u2019ve heard things about their views on all the social craziness that\u2019s going on and it\u2019s refreshing to hear of places that are saying no to the madness, very refreshing.<\/p>\n

Because of family commitments I won\u2019t be moving, even out of state, for at least a year or two.\u00a0 But now is the time to be analyzing information and narrowing the choices to the best options.\u00a0 And there is a lot to do.\u00a0 Selling real estate, moving assets, even learning a language isn\u2019t something you do overnight.\u00a0 Just gathering the information isn\u2019t automatic.\u00a0 What must you know?\u00a0 Who can you trust?\u00a0 Will things change?<\/p>\n

But one thing is certain.\u00a0 Flee or fight are the only options for me.\u00a0 Living under these people is death.\u00a0 Death for the soul and the end of all the things that make life precious; family, tradition, pride, freedom.\u00a0 They are the enemy of all of these.\u00a0 Their rotten hive existence is contemptible and their tactics are exactly the gangster model that people fled here from other lands to escape.<\/p>\n

Yes, people are waking up and that means there is hope that some of us will be free again someday.\u00a0 Wasting time on winning the mid-terms other than as a way to screw with some of the RINOs that stabbed Donald Trump in the back doesn\u2019t interest me.\u00a0 I\u2019ve seen enough to know they\u2019ll rig whatever elections they need to keep control of the levers of power in Washington.\u00a0 Well, let them for all I care.\u00a0 I just want to escape from under their yoke.\u00a0 Let them live in the hell they\u2019ve assembled.\u00a0 I hope to live to see the day when their rotten anthill collapses under its own filth.\u00a0 The only thing I ask is that me and mine aren\u2019t there when it happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
