Get it together, or fail.

25 02 2012

Been catching up,   Found some things that still disturb me amongst the Freefor community.   First off, A community, by definition is a grouping of people with similar longterm goals.    In its loosest definition, we are that: we all want freedom from the abuses of Government we witness.  Freedom from that future we see accelerating towards us.

BUT, as a community, we have many fractures that need mended before we will ever be effective against the forces that oppose us.   One need only look at the divisions within the ranks that takes place in comments sections of some sites to get a feel for that.    There are real answers out there (also in that link) but there are those that desire power over freedom and their intent is obvious by the reaction produced when confronted.

That self induced immolation is what keeps our enemies at bay.   Not completely fear of us (there is that to some extent) but the fact that we can’t get together long enough to form an effective resistance to the growing threat.  We have discussion of Moral Highgrounds, of setting up defensive positions, arguments on voting, or what gun we should run vs: that ‘other gun’ etc etc etc.

WE ARE NOT EFFECTIVE!   And the fact TPTB feel safe enough taking us out one by one and getting away with it under that so blind media, only  re-enforces my view.

OWS has been effective, and stands to grow in power and action this spring.   The local forces are making attempts to contain that force but little to nothing to indicate less than approval from the Seat of power in DC.

We on the other hand are not being effective.   May be that we are not proactive enough.   I am hoping that the Patcoms can get that ball rolling.   Maybe not to ‘form an army’ or guerilla units, but to become more effective in how we interact with each other.   None of us are clean.  We all have some dirty laundry, or a skeleton in some closet somewhere.   Doesn’t matter, not to the future of what we believe in.   So one is a ‘reformed commie’   another is a convicted felon, I on one hand did not get a good discharge from the Marines for reasons I leave to close friends.

IT DOESN’T FUCKIN MATTER when the shit starts to roll down hill.   The only thing that will matter is who is going to stand there next to me when the shooting gallery starts rolling in both directions.    Who is going to sit in that Fighting Hole at 3 am listening to the wind waiting for that ‘crack’ of a stick.    Who is going to hold the line of supplies open when the assaults are coming from three different directions, not just the ‘front’.

The way we get played, by outside forces as well as our own egos, shows that, while we all have the right ideas, we can never get over our own ‘self worth’ to become EFFECTIVE.

Maybe its time to swallow some pride, finish those things we have put off, and get the shoes on our feet to do the real preparations we need done.
CPX Foxtrot is one.

Patcoms are another.

Mentally preparing NOW is yet another.

Know that the things we are seeing elsewhere are headed our way.   As AP put it the other day

Wait Until It’s over Food…

Or wait until its over that Union Thug finding out that the promises made were far more empty than his head.

All that being said, the likelihood of the system imploding is very real.    Given that, We may not need take action.    WE need only wait it out and stay together as best as possible.

But don’t count on it.

Count on yourself, but swallow your pride, Admit you are not “The War God” and have weaknesses.   Find those that help fill those niches where you lack, filling in theirs with your strengths.   Get it together NOW or fail later.

Get to a patcom, find people near you.   Suffer through all the glazed over looks and find those that have a spark.    GET THAT TRIBE!!!!

I couldn’t have written a better point in my argument. That was the reason for the listing of it. And yeah, That was one DEEP rabbit hole. I felt like I was back on the quad listening to the debate squad arguing with the cheerleaders for a few minutes.
herding cats. yuppers. Further thoughts to come: working on it now.

Sorry Rusty. I have a thumb drive for you that has MUCHO information in it. Some dealing with Constitutional issues, some is fiction portraying ‘what could happen’ some of it is just plain good ol fashioned good knowledge to have.
And the file is HUGE.

I’m trying. So much going on that its hard to keep track of. It will all boil down to the basics soon enough and human nature is very much a part of the basics. In all of its beauty and horror.
