Communism is a very efficient form of tyranny.
If you think Communism has been relegated to the history books, you are wrong.
There is a piece at Activist Post and the writer draws several conclusions with which I differ, though he also articulates many points that can't be challenged. In the piece the author assigns our coming Civil War as a design by a small group of families that rule the world. I can't go there. He also states that multi-national forces from tyrannical countries are standing in the wings to put boots on American soil and aid a traitorous American FedGov (and some State Govs) is murdering Liberty and dividing America among the several players.
I can't really go there, either. I just can't get my head wrapped around US .mil permitting ChiCom or Russian boots on the ground, even under UN blue helmets.
What I do see is a group of people who want an America that has been scaled back to a hemispheric power and transformed toward a Communist State, leaving Asia for the Chinese and Europe for the Russians.
I agree with the article in that a disarmed American populace is on the agenda, and those who remained armed will be branded enemies of the state.
I will go further, and state that I think the final phase has been engaged. The Enemies of Liberty plan to have this rolled up before the question of a 2016 election cycle comes around. I see the next 3-18 months as the time period in which things go hot, by hook, crook, or otherwise. States are on the cusp of confiscations, right now. They are laying that ground. States are being isolated with cooperative governments in place. In New York, California and Illinois - major populations, and critical to American economic infrastructure, the Leftists are putting in place laws to criminalize self defense. It will be manageable for FedGov to combine forces with NYPD, LAPD and ChicagoPD assets to enforce capitulation on three fronts, leaving red states alone - for now.
Once these blue states are under control, the ability to concentrate forces on the second-tier states, a few at a time, becomes easier.
It is the same philosophy of Waco on a state-wide level. Concentrate all forces to achieve the ends, then move on to unconquered territory.
Time will tell if my assessment is correct.
But consider three years from now the possibility of FedGov's ability to focus 80 percent of its resources, combined with assets from New York, California, Illinois, Oregon, Washington, Florida, and a few other enclaves on Texas. The ability to make Texans starve to death becomes easy (remember the mere threat to stop air travel into Texas?) combined with the military force at hand and the betrayal of Texans that already control political offices in DFW, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso...
Texans, set your pride aside, and look at the reality. Now consider how fast Alabama or Louisiana would fold under the same pressure...
Think about it. The divide and conquer one bit at a time works - so long as Patriots stay on the sidelines and do not flank the Bad People...like we are doing, now.
