What if Trump is Impeached? Is The Left Really Ready For What Comes Next?

Division in this country continues to increase and talk of a second civil war is ramping up. While many believe the possibility of a second civil war(CW2) is ridiculous – it’s a fact that more and more people are seeing the possibility. When and who are on each side? That’s the $50,000 dollar question and giving an accurate prediction would be an effort in futility.

Much of this division is directly related to politics and socio-economic beliefs. I believe most Americans regardless of there political leanings are fairly common in their beliefs. So, why the increasing division? The media is largely responsible for motivating one group against the other. It is also very true that the belief systems within the Democrat and Republican parties have changed. The Democrat party has swung way to the Left, while the Republican party has slowly moved to the Right. Those on the Left are now suggesting violence against the Right on a regular basis. This is a significant and important change as the amount of violence at protests, and against the Right is increasing. Regardless – Congress is full of corrupt politicians on both sides.

With the #NeverTrump and #Impeach45 movements gaining ground in the Left, along with the midterm elections fast approaching there is growing concern that a Democrat-controlled Congress will lead to Trump being removed from office. The following video discusses that possibility.

Thoughts?

Election’s 2018/2020 – The Division of America Continues……

It is often noted that America is more divided now than at any point in history – possibly including during the Civil War. Modern technology and communication methods afford people a means which to promote their beliefs without taking up arms and resorting to violence – usually. Anyone who has lived through four or more decades can reflect back on society and see that it is declining more rapidly every year. Case in point: As a teenager, I remember Olivia Newton-John released the single “Physical”. It was met with shock and horror as its suggestive lyrics awakened a generation and the upbeat song was banned on many radio stations. Compared to the music and entertainment commonly viewed today it was timid. That which was once deemed taboo ends up being accepted and normalized. This trend will continue until things such as transgenderism, pedophilia, and beastiality is no longer scoffed at but accepted and even embraced by most – or at a minimum many.

What does this have to do with the upcoming elections in 2018 and 2020? I’m merely setting the premise that times have changed and continue to change not for the better. While much of America identify themselves as Democrat or Republican from a political perspective, reviewing Congress and its actions over the last few decades it has mattered little who ruled the White House or Congress.

Gun Control

At this moment in time, the Left is calling for significant gun control measures due to recent mass shootings in Las Vegas and in schools. Many Republicans – including President Trump – are providing some level of support towards more gun control. This is shocking as he ran and garnered significant support with his strong 2nd Amendment stance.

A recent Tweet from President Trump:

Many avid firearm enthusiasts and 2nd Amendment supporters are stating they will hold their votes and abandon President Trump and any Republican who supports any gun control measures. This may very well amount to a Democrat majority in Congress within the next four years.

Deficit Spending

The recent $1.3 trillion dollar omnibus bill passed by Congress and signed by President Trump have Conservatives jumping the MAGA ship. Conservative leaders voted against this bill due to the deficit-raising obscene level of spending as well as the ridiculous pork-barrel programs included.

This lack of fiscal responsibility will cause many who supported him in 2016 to jump ship – and all those Republicans who voted for the massive Bill.

Violence on the Left

The Liberal Left have preached peace and non-violence for decades while suggesting the Right is evil with their guns. It takes only a small amount of observation to see a trend of Liberal violence. It takes very little research effort to see Liberals calling for violence – including murder – against Conservatives and Republicans. From celebrities to politicians and common folks – it is becoming more and more acceptable to promote and suggest violence against the Right. While it these suggestive comments occur on both sides – it is the Left that acts on them.

Look at the majority of those who carry out mass shootings. Liberal. Look at the protests that turn violent. Liberals. Look at those who call for the death of Trump on a regular basis. Liberals.

The reason for pointing out this trend toward voilence is that the Liberal side of America is becoming very motivated and active. This will contnue into the election cycles.

Societal Division

Abortion, religion, gun control, marijuana, transgender rights, race, immigration, foreign affairs, free speech, education, patriotism, law enforcement, etc. have people growing in numbers on opposite ends of the opinion spectrum. While the fringe groups such as the Alt-Right and Antifa are small in population their numbers are growing. Those with strong beliefs and no consideration for discussion are also growing to such an extent that the words “civil war” are being said more and more frequently.

Time will only tell if the citizens of America can unite under some common ground. With beliefs so far apart and the lack of willingness to compromise many believe a “reset” is inevitable and needed. Whatever it’s called – the fabric of this nation is being torn apart and the question is what will it look like when it’s eventually sewed back together again.

Summary

Should the White House and Congress come under Democrat control over the next 4 years little will change. The Federal Debt will continue to skyrocket and the division in America will continue to grow. Some specific actions will likely take place in the area of gun control, but as history shows it matters little who is in power.

Could this change? It could. If real Conservatives who will stand for the Constitution could be elected a new trend could be started. There are very few indications that this is a realistic possibility.

Tactics for The American Reformation Part 6: Individual Movement Techniques & Fire Team Formations

Note: Information being provided is meant to encourage research, education, and training. The posts in of itself are merely brief summaries at most. Consider the information to be an introduction to the topic. Topics are published in no particular order.

The main perspective of this ongoing series is a defensive response to a potential threat. Watching a video is not going to take the place of active, hands-on firearms and tactics training. For many, access to training is limited either due to finances or lack of qualified trainers in their area. Getting a group together and practicing tactics learned via video or books is certainly better than just watching John Wick.

The following video shows basic movement tactics while under fire and threat from fire. The animation is rather dated however the information is quite valid.

There are numerous military manuals available that cover similar topics including the FM 7-8 The Infantry Rifle Platoon and Squad manual.

Get your group. Discuss scenarios. Practice. Train. Practice some more.

Tactics for the American Reformation Part 4: The Operational Cache

There are many that believe history will show we are in the early stages of a new civil war – or an American Reformation. How exactly this war will play out is certainly up for discussion and dispute. Many believe there will be areas of severe civil unrest, guerrilla warfare, and scattered battles of varying sizes. Who will be the insurgency? That depends on location and political makeup of area/region.

So – why an Operational Cache?

An Operational Cache is a resupply of critical items often accessed while on the go. These caches are often – but not always – buried to hide from others. Major components often placed in an Operational Cache are defensive supplies. The possibility of immediate and unplanned relocation out of an area make having supply caches invaluable.

What to Put in the Operational Cache?

Only you know what will work best in your cache. The cache may be very mission specific or very general. It may contain supplies to feed, clothe, and defend – or something else entirely.

Here are a few general guidelines:

Rifle/Pistol

extra ammunition, magazines

tactical gear – holsters, vest, plate carrier, mag pouches(Condor chest rig is budget friendly and works great)

flashlight/spare batteries(lithium)

first aid kit/trauma supplies/tourniquet – visit DoomandBloom.com medical preparedness store

communications equipment – Baofeng UV-5R/disposable cell phone

spare clothes – socks/boots/underwear/pants/shirt/hat

gloves – Mechanix FastFit are a good choice

food – MRE’s are excellent

water filter – recommend Sawyer Mini Filter System and LifeStraw

Nalgene water bottles

spare contacts/glasses

multitool/knife

rope/paracord/various zip ties

tarps/tent/hammock

backpack – for carrying supplies away from the cache

toilet paper/wet wipes/hand towels/toothbrush/toothpaste

small notebook & pencil

Where To Place The Cache

An operational cache does NOT have to be buried but can be. It may be at a buddy’s house, in a storage unit, in the corner of your shed, or buried up in the mountains beside a large oak tree. The decision on where to store the cache is highly dependent on many factors including geographical location, contents, specific intended uses, and method and means of access.

A stump located out in the middle of nowhere could provide a unique location for an above ground cache hid deep down inside of it. Covered with vegetation a bypassing hunter could glance and never see what awaits inside.

Burying Firearms?

As far as burying a cache out in the country or in the mountain it does not go without risk. First – I would not bury anything that can lead back to you should it be discovered. A firearm purchased through a dealer and coinciding with a Form 4473 filled out will link the purchaser to that firearm. Only bury firearms purchased via private sale.

Quality of Contents

The most popular theory on cached supplies is to place secondary – or “B” grade items in storage. You may have a really nice high-quality Smith & Wesson AR as part of your kit. For the operational cache, a $350 Hi-Point 9mm carbine is stashed along with extra magazines and ammunition. Another example would be having a Benchmade Nimravus Tanto as an SHTF-EDC knife while placing a Cold Steel GI Tanto in the cache for long-term storage.

Another proposed theory is almost the opposite. If you are having to access your operational cache then things must be extremely dire. Now more than ever “A” grade equipment is needed.

I understand both perspectives and agree the absolute best equipment should be cached. The deal here is the absolute best equipment THAT CAN BE AFFORDED. It is certainly better to have a Hi-Point cached than nothing at all. If a duplicate Smith & Wesson AR can be cached that is all the better.

“One for me….one for the cache”

Summary

It is apparent the container type, contents, and the location is completely dependent on factors only known to those putting it together. It’s important to realize there is no limit to how many caches can be stashed. Having several over a wide area provides a security blanket no matter which direction one might have to travel.

Tactics for The American Reformation Part 3: Basic AR-15 Duty Set Up
Let’s take a look at setting up a Duty AR-15. What is “Duty”? Anything from patrolling property, home defense, as well as battling brigands and other evildoers. Now – a good Duty rifle does not have to cost an arm, legs, and unmentionables. Especially with the current firearm market duty AR’s can be purchased with hundreds rather than thousands of dollars. Factory OEM AR’s from Ruger and Smith & Wesson can be found for under $500 and make good platforms which to have a Duty gun.

So – what are the main components of a Duty gun?
- AR-15
- Sling
- Optic
- Flashlight
With every aspect of all of the components listed above a great amount of personal preference is involved. What works for me may not work for you. What works for Operator A might be terrible for Operator B, etc. Consider a car lot. Every vehicle there will get you where you are going but there is a reason why so many models are manufactured. A general coverage of each component will be reviewed.

NOTE: Putting together a Duty gun is NOT complicated. This is also not a MISSION SPECIFIC firearm to serve a very certain tole with required abilities.

AR-15’s:

Most any AR-15 of at least carbine(16″) length will fill the role. Popular models from Colt, Smith & Wesson, Ruger, Bushmaster, Windham, and others are available and each having models to fit any budget. M4 carbine variants work well and also 20″ full-sized rifles. There is no need for an AR that will shoot sub-MOA groups, or have a special lower with engraving. Reliabilitiy is of upmost concern and importance. The choice is up to the one with the money which to buy.

Here are a couple examples:

I’ll note that models in 5.56mm are recommended for a few reasons including ammunition compatibility, ammo cost/weight, and magazine compatibility.

Sling:

I run a single-point sling which I like very much. They are simple to use and fast. The main issue with the single point is transitioning from pistol to long gun. When the AR is dropped to switch to a pistol the gun seems to like heading directly to my – gerbils. Not the most comfortable feeling.

For an overview of sling options –

A few mentioned slings:

Haley Strategic D3 Sling

Magpul MS4 Sling

BFG Vickers Sling

Frank Proctor WOTG Sling

Viking Tactics Sling

Ferro Concepts Slingster

QD Mounts

Optic:

Iron sights are a basic component as part of any Duty gun. A simple set of Magpul MBUS II folding sights will suffice. Want something better and made of metal? Buy ’em.

Most Duty AR’s today will run a red dot optic such as the Bushnell TRS-25, Vortex StrikeFire, etc. Money generally equals quality. EOTech’s and Aimpoints offer increased reliabilities and are worth the extra funds needed for purchase. Red dots provide much faster target acquisition than iron sights and also help those of us with aging eyes. Although there are many red dot optics available it’s important on a Duty gun to have something reliable with a very good track record. Although I am currently testing a Sightmark CSR I would never recommend a company such as Sightmark due to their very questionable reputation.

Magnified optics can prove very beneficial when targeting longer distances. They also can serve to assist in gathering information. For a Duty rifle, the optic should be something in the 1×4 – 1×6 range. The reason for not going to a higher starting magnification is the need to be able to use the optic in CQC. Turning the optic down to 1X will allow near red dot performance.

Recommended Optics:

Magpul MBUS Gen II Flip Up Sights

Bushnell TRS-25

Vortex StrikeFire II

Vortex Sparc II

HOLOSUN Micro Red Dot

EOTech 552

Aimpoint Pro

Trijicon MRO Red Dot

Vortex Crossfire II 1-4X Scope

Primary Arms 1-8X Scope

Flashlight:

Illumination is an important component of a Duty rifle. The weapons platform may be used to illuminate a threat at night or possibly an intruder inside a building. While there is a lot of controversy as to just how bright weapon mounted flashlights should be in the end that is up to the shooter – and your wallet. Understand that an 800 lumen light reflecting off white drywall can interrupt the ability for the holder of the gun to see – not just the “bad guy”. Companies such as SureFire and Streamlight have great reputations for making reliable weapon lights.

Exactly how the light is mounted and run is up to the shooter.

Recommended Flashlights:

Streamlight Polytac

Streamlight TLR-1

SureFire Mini Scout

Streamlight ProTac

Summary:

The Duty Rifle is an integral component to preparing for the American Reformation. It is reliable, versatile, and accurate. Only with training can it be put to use to take advantage of its full capabilities.

From the Desk of John Rourke – September 13th, 2022

(Note: This post is a work of fiction)

I know it’s been several weeks since my last post. Surprised I have been able to keep the website up. Via numerous proxy servers, mirrors, and redirects, most of the United States can still access the website. How long will this keep working I’m not sure.

The family and I have been relocated four weeks ago. Ever since President Warren(I still struggle typing that) instituted the “American Citizen & Law Enforcement Safety Bill” as well as the “United States Equalization of Opportunity Bill” protests have broken out leading to tremendous civil unrest. The South Carolina state government put up a lot of fuss with the Federal firearm restrictions but in the end, they caved to the pressure. Currently, my gun stash is completely illegal – at least by Federal standards. Unfortunately while moving all my guns to the retreat they fell overboard into the river. What a shame.

The economy is crashing around us as inflation takes hold. Supplies are running short, and prices are heading sky high. Wages – when someone can find a job – is not keeping up with the massive inflation. So many people have given up looking for work and so many businesses have closed up shop the dominoes are falling. Fuel especially is getting scarce and expensive. The last time I made a trip to town I saw armed guards outside a store guarding the gas pumps and store employees.

As for the Rourke family, we are doing fairly well. We had several retreat options where we had stashed a good amount of supplies so as for the next several months we should be fine. Several of us spend all day – every day – prepping the retreat. There are 24/7 perimeter patrols and everyone takes turns. Crime is certainly on the rise. IR cameras have been installed and are monitored via wi-fi. Monitoring communications – television is full of propaganda as well as the radio. We’ve been using SSB CB’s and hearing a lot of interesting information from around the country. I never got an HF ham radio hooked up.

A Fall garden is well underway and we planted a lot. Lot’s of jars and Tattler lids are available once we start canning.

We miss our friends. We have extremely little contact with anyone outside the retreat. This post was sent via a tablet that never accompanies me to the retreat and has nothing on it that can be traced to me. Several IP blockers and proxy servers will make it appear I am located in another country. Well – maybe I am.

I predicted the American Reformation. I wish I had been wrong. Civil War is upon us and the crooks in Washington are surging control over the country. The rhetoric that Conservative Patriots used to say, “It’s not the time for violence” has ended. Nothing else is left on the table. I wish I had moved to the Redoubt long ago. I didn’t so it is what it is. There are reports over SSB that militia’s and Patriot groups have been conducting some guerilla warfare in areas across the country. The MSM is playing it down and spinning it as needless violence against women and children.

I wish I had moved to the Redoubt long ago. I didn’t so it is what it is. There are reports over SSB that militia’s and Patriot groups have been conducting some guerilla warfare in areas across the country. The MSM is playing it down and spinning it as needless violence against women and children.

One example was a building in Atlanta being used to house the Office of Equalization. Over the weekend it was firebombed and burned to the ground. Similiar events are happening all over the US. Guerrilla warfare. The MSM media is reporting little of this and what they are reporting are lies. Not surprising.

Everyone has to make a decision for themselves. Are they part of getting this country back – or standing on the sidelines? I’m good with my decision. Everyone knows the side I’m on. I don’t hold it against anyone for standing on the sidelines. This is developing war and it’s going to get nasty. Not everyone can fight.

I’ll tell you one thing. There are a lot of roles to be played beyond being a fighter. Gathering intelligence is HUGE. Gathering & transporting supplies. Hiding Patriots and providing cover in Loyalist stronghold areas is critical to the movement.

I’m not sure if I will post again. I’ve had this site for years and enjoyed the relationship with all of you. It is just too dangerous to even attempt to upload posts. In fact – you can be targeted just for viewing this website. 72 hours all versions of this site will start disappearing.

Good luck.

Secure Communications for The American Reformation: Telegram App
Those Patriots who wish to communicate with fellow Patriots in a more secure manner – for whatever reason – may want to look into the communications tool called “Telegram”. Telegram is a communications tool available as both a web-based and mobile app interface.

Working very much like any other chat app such as Facebook Messenger Telegram offers several features which may be attractive:
- Telegram is secure – or at least much more secure than typical communication tools.
- Telegram is fast.
- Telegram allows for both individual and group messaging and chats.
- Telegram allows the sharing of files.
- Secret texts can be sent which will self-destruct.
- Available on all of your devices.
- Voice messages can be sent.
- Telegram is 100% FREE
Setup is extremely easy and not much different than any other app. Telegram does require access to your contact list and camera in order to send messengers as well as photos.

Telegram can send two types of messages with both being encrypted.

CLOUD: The first is a cloud-based message which is stored on the Telegram servers. While this may seem very un-secure it is not at all. While it is possible for the FBI to access these messages via a warrant, the ability for hackers to access the cloud is extremely difficult. Security is what Telegram is built their reputation and existence on. As of today, Telegram has provided zero data to anyone making requests. This includes governments.

SECRET CHAT: The second type of message is called the “secret chat”. In this format, messages are sent and received and can ONLY be accessed using the end users devices. This means that they are not saved on the Telegram servers and cannot be accessed by anyone – except those who use the user’s devices. These messages can be set to self-destruct. This is the most secure method within the Telegram app. Currently, the Secret Chat option is only available for person to person communications. Group Secret Chats are not an option – at least for now.

While there are pro’s and con’s to all secure communication apps Telegram continues to be the leader of the pack. Constant updates and added features keep things interesting and new features are added all the time.

Telegram – Secure Communication Solution?

I will tell you from my experience using Telegram over the past year it is fantastic. My preparedness group uses it as their exclusive communications tool. We set up multiple group chat rooms to use for different topics. Pictures, videos, and other files can be sent as well as audio. Frequently while I am driving if I need to communicate something to the group I just press the audio button and record my message – and then it sends automatically when I am done.

Whether it is in the middle of the American Reformation or the beginnings we find ourselves now Telegram is but one solution for more secure communications.

Note: Telegram is available for both the Android and iOS operating systems, as well as a web based access point. This means that virtually every multimedia device from Smartphones, tablets, and PC’s can utilize the technology.

If We Don’t Fight For It, The Liberal World Order Is Going To Kill Our Way Of Life

Rourke: The following is reprinted with permission from The Economic Collapse website. This article goes right along with my American Reformation series to show the direction this country is heading. While the election of Donald Trump may seem to have slowed the degrading – maybe it has had the opposite effect.

There comes a time when it becomes necessary to draw a line in the sand. When the early settlers came to America, they were desperate to find a place where they could live in freedom. And our Founding Fathers worked very hard to draft a Constitution that would guarantee that future generations of Americans would live in a nation where the freedom and liberty of the people were maximized. Unfortunately, the way of life that our founders sought to establish is slowly being killed off by the progressive agenda of “the Liberal World Order”. Just about every single element of their progressive agenda is diametrically opposed to the values and the principles that this country was founded upon. And if they ultimately get everything that they want, our way of life will be eradicated for good.

The term “Liberal World Order” is a phrase that is starting to be used quite frequently by the establishment. It was used by the Washington Post to describe Barack Obama’s final speech to the United Nations, and Vice-President Joe Biden used it during his speech at the World Economic Forum in January.

But of course it is a term that doesn’t just apply to Democrats. Many establishment Republicans also believe in the progressive agenda of the Liberal World Order, and that is why before Trump was elected nothing ever seemed to change very much in Washington no matter who was in power.

Sadly, the same thing is true all over the western world. The Liberal World Order dominates most of the major political parties in just about every industrialized nation, and they are very much accustomed to getting their way. That is one of the reasons why they hate Donald Trump with such a passion, because he is someone that they cannot fully control.

At this point, the Liberal World Order has almost complete control of our culture. In addition to dominating the political system, they also have a stranglehold on the media, on the entertainment world, on most large corporations, on our system of public education, and even on many of our largest religious institutions.

In the end, their goal is not to just win elections. I recently wrote that liberals hate “anyone that disagrees with them”, and even though they claim to be “tolerant” the truth is that they are some of the most intolerant people on the face of the planet. When Kathy Griffin held up a bloody mock ‘decapitated’ head of Donald Trump, it really was a picture of what they want to do to our entire way of life. They literally want to eradicate our worldview, and laws are slowly being put in place all over the western world that are moving us in that direction.

For the true believers in the Liberal World Order, government is a weapon to be used to achieve societal dominance. That is why so many of them are drawn to law school. I have often referred to law school as “seminary for liberals”, because that is essentially what it is.

Our legal system is absolutely infested with radical leftists from the top to the bottom, and that makes it a perfect tool for the left to advance their agenda. Whether it is abortion, gay marriage or any other issue, the left often finds that the easiest way to achieve their goals is by going through the court system.

True believers in the Liberal World Order also tend to believe that government is the answer to just about every problem. So central governments all over the western world have just gotten bigger and bigger and bigger.

But every time government gets bigger, we lose more freedom and liberty.

If you will think about this you will see that I am right. Today, there are hundreds of thousands of statutes, rules and regulations on the federal level. If you throw in all of the statutes, rules and regulations on the state and local levels as well, that brings the total into the millions.

Every law restricts freedom and liberty in some way. Of course in some cases this is a very good thing. For example, we don’t want the freedom to go around randomly murdering one another. But we certainly do not need millions of laws.

We are supposed to be “the land of the free”, but most Americans seem to have forgotten what that really means. If people want the government to tell them what to do every moment of every day, they can move to Europe. Our founders guaranteed us a nation where liberty and freedom would be maximized, and the Liberal World Order has stolen this from us.

And of course having an enormous government is very expensive, and so we get to pay very heavily for the privilege of being oppressed. I talk a lot about the income tax because that is one of my pet peeves, but that is only one of the taxes they hit us with. In a previous article I listed 97 different taxes that Americans pay each year, and when everything is all said and done there are some Americans that end up handing over more than half of what they earn to various governmental entities.

But our leaders don’t use the term “socialism” to describe what is being done to us, because the American people aren’t ready to accept that reality quite yet.

Unfortunately, the control freaks that dominate our government always want more. Our progressive politicians always seem to have another new tax up their sleeves, and earlier this year top Democrats in Congress proposed yet another payroll tax that would be taken directly out of our paychecks…

The Democrats plan, reintroduced in February by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D, N.Y.) and Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D, Colo.), is The FAMILY Act, which would create a national fund to provide workers with two thirds of their income for up to 12 weeks, no matter where they live or work. The Democrats’ proposal would be funded by employee and employer payroll contributions, averaging less than $1.50 per week for a typical worker.

One of the primary reasons why my wife and I originally moved up to north Idaho was because we wanted to find a place where we could live free without someone constantly telling us what to do. But we have come to realize that eventually the Liberal World Order is just going to take over everything if we don’t fight back. If the America that so many in previous generations fought and died to defend is going to survive, we must take action now.

So I am calling on every man, woman and child that can hear me to engage in a new American revolution. This isn’t a revolution with guns and bullets, but rather a non-violent cultural revolution that will be fought with votes, pens and keyboards.

We need to clearly communicate a vision for the future of America that is based upon the values and the principles that this nation was founded upon. Those values and principles once made us the greatest nation on the entire planet, and they can do it again.

We also need to wrestle as much political power away from the Liberal World Order as we possibly can. That means contesting Democrats and establishment Republicans on the federal, state and local levels. Even capturing a seat on your local school board can make a tremendous difference, and so I am encouraging as many people as possible to become politically active.

If we do not take a stand now, eventually there won’t be anywhere left for freedom-loving Americans and their families to go.

Just like with the original American revolution, there are no guarantees that we will win. At the time, very few could have imagined that the great British empire could have been defeated by a ragtag group of rebels, but it happened. And the Liberal World Order is most definitely a formidable foe, and it will not be taken down easily.

All that it takes for evil to triumph is for good men and women to do nothing.

So let us be strong and courageous, and let us rise up and fight for the future of our nation.

From the Desk of John Rourke – March 30th, 2017

Not to beat a dead horse but to continue the discussion from yesterday regarding the armed Communist/Liberal/Progressive/Americans marching in Phoenix – were they carrying real guns?

I’ve seen numerous websites and FB groups try to say they were carrying airsoft guns. Did some of them carry airsoft? Sure – it’s possible. Does it really matter? Not to me. I really don’t get the need to disprove these folks in some way. I suspect it is out of fear or not wanting to deal with reality. z1queenie mentioned that someone on FB suggested the women with the red scarf was reportedly carrying airsoft.

A bit blurry but that looks like an AR magazine with real rounds.

Again – the important aspect of this story is it is just a piece of a very large puzzle that when those pieces are put together is forms one ugly picture.

American Reformation – There Is Reason To Be Concerned
Current events are inspiring discussions on Internet forums about the possibility that history will show we are in the beginning stages of a second civil war. The growing division in this country is alarming. I’ve discussed the entire “civil war” and “revolution” perspective before and have named what I call the coming event the American Reformation. While the recent election of outsider Donald Trump have given many hope that the government will be given back to the people, however the reality is while improvements may be made his election is triggering a new, more radical movement in the United States.

Since 2008 the country has become more and more divided. A large percentage of the population has woken up to the destructive actions taken by our out of control government. Government has grown far too large and far too overbearing. Racial tensions have increased, political infighting is at an all time high, and journalism is dead while agenda-based reporting rues the day. If you are reading this article you already know.

The Coming American Reformation: Going Gray

So – if Patriots have come together in such numbers that they elect a political outsider why is there not certainty that true political change will occur and the risk of an American Reformation be diminished?

Let’s consider a few things:
- Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 2.1% – or 2,865,075 votes.
- Trump won the Republican primary though he received only 44.9% of the vote – thus 55.1% voted against him.
- Trump won 30 states while Hillary won 21 states/districts.
- In the Republican and Democratic primaries Trump received a total of 14,015,993 votes. All those running against him? 47,288,998.
The point is the entire country did not not get behind this political outsider in fact the vast majority of those politically active was against Trump and his message/movement. Obviously many came together to support Trump however his support was NOT a mandate as many suggest. While an outsider such as Trump certainly appears to bode well to act for us against the political establishment it does not erase the massive establishment and the Loyalist movement that is currently erupting.

There are serious reasons to be concerned.

Be Concerned:

The Liberal Progressive(Loyalist) movement is becoming more and more radical, hateful, and violent. Frequently threats of death and violence are seen all over social media. Celebrities, journalists, and even some politicians are actively promoting radical actions and violence against those who disagree with them(Patriots and often police). Folks – the division is growing and the list of incidents is growing.
- President Obama has supported violence by lending understanding and compassion to the Black Lives Matter movement.
- Racial tensions continued to grow throughout the past 8 years as President Obama continued to speak on numerous incidents without having all the facts and provided credence to those who felt victims were targeted due to their color. In almost every single case Obama’s initial take on the situation turned out incorrect.
- Riots and “protests” in Liberal areas are allowed to be violent where people are injured and even killed. Property is destroyed and local politicians order “space” to be given so that the rioters can express their “feelings”.
- While Liberals state that Patriots “cling to their guns and religion” and promote that Trump supporters are violent – the reality is that Liberals invaded Trump rally’s and have attacked supporters on numerous occasions.
- Anti-Patriot Liberals continue to attack Trump supporters and burn the American flag on a regular basis.
- Look at the mass shootings that have taken place over the last 8 years. Who carried out these horrendous deeds? Psychopaths who have a Liberal ideology.
- The anti-police movement has been supported – or at a minimum condoned – widely by the Progressive/Loyalist movement.
- The Mainstream Media(MSM) has blatantly misrepresented facts and under-reported stories that were either critical of the Progressive movement or positive towards Conservatives/Patriots.
- ….there are many more.
To sum it up Loyalists are becoming more and more hateful and violent. The recent post-inauguration protests and riots as well as the Women’s March is a perfect example of this. It is only a matter of time before more conflict and violence erupts.

WARNING: The video below contains profanity.

What the Future Holds:

Awaiting us in the future is a growing trend of division between Patriots and Loyalists. Loyalist groups, special interests, and politicians will stop at nothing to further their agenda’s. The 1st Amendment will come under attack. The 2nd Amendment will come under attack. The Left will begin to embrace the 2nd Amendment for themselves in an effort to “arm up” against the “Alt-Right”. Social justice and alternative logic will be used to label Patriots as racist, sexist, homophobes, hate mongers who want to hurt children and old people. The MSM will be the tool used to brainwash the populace.

“Protests” at UC Berkeley – protesting against Conservative speaker Milo Yiannopoulos.

Predictions:
- Civil disorder and prejudice against Patriots will become more commonplace as time goes on.
- Sophisticated cyber attacks and hacking against Patriot-friendly political targets.
- Protests and riots will grow in frequency.
- Armed confrontations will become more commonplace etween Loyalists and Patriots.
- Mass disruptions to transportation routes and public venues
- Blatant media bias against Patriots will become more widespread.
- Direct violence against Patriots resulting in serious injury and death.
- A massive campaign to take back Congress and the White House in 2020.
Pre-Election Social Media Postings

Conclusion:

Things are unpredictable and happening fast. No one knows precisely what the future holds. What is certain the Loyalist will stop at nothing to gain power and attempt to create an America very much different than what the Founders intended. To what extent these Progressives will go is not fully known. They are organized, well funded – and extremely motivated.

We must respond by preparing for what awaits. We must be politically active and support Constitution-supporting politicians at every level of government. We must spread the word and bring others into the fold to increase our numbers.

We must know that we are on the right side.

Final nail in the coffin

With the latest insanity surrounding the 2016 Presidential election it’s over for Trump. Not that he was any miraculous savior but I was at least hoping his election to the White House would have bought us more time. President Hillary Clinton is all but assured.

The outrage over Trumps lewd comments is justified however let’s have a little perspective here. Trump said bad things while Liberal politicians do bad things – and get a pass. Look at the evil which Obama and Hillary have promoted. Obama admitted to smoking pot and using cocaine – for Liberals “no problem”. Hillary defended a child rapist and laughed about about it – Liberals “no problem”. Bill Clinton committed rape and adultery – Liberals “no problem”.

For those that say the entire system is corrupt and voting is a waste of time I would have to say after this election I will agree. I do believe Trump was different and an outsider – thus the reason the Republican establishment is against him, Libertarians are against him, and the Democratic establishment is against him.

Hillary Clinton’s election will be the final nail in the coffin for this country.

So – what do we do? I can tell you I will be done with politics. Many would say that decision is well overdue. So be it. With the political landscape changing and the increasing division within this country “going gray” is a prudent course of action. We’ll discuss that more later. “Fred” recently commented – “Keep prepping …….and focus on local elections and what local politicians can do to screw you.”

Sounds good to me.
