And Then They Came For the Cows

And then they came for the cows.

But I had no cows.

So I did nothing.

Let me offer a suggestion as to why there are 200 armed agents harassing a rancher in Nevada:  our dear leader has not had the blood necessary to execute his Crisis-As-A-Means strategy to disarm, then overthrow, America.

Crisis-As-A-Means is how it is done.  Lenin had WWI.  He negotiated out of it (poorly) in order to bring the troops home... to fight the internal enemies in a civil war.  Stalin needed an enemy to start his terror, so he manufactured a terrorist hit on one of his top leaders (who was getting a bit uppity btw), Kirov. Putin is rumored to have blown up an apartment building in Moscow prior to his early election to President, as he was the preferred candidate to get tough on the Chechens.  These three examples, and there are many others, led to massive death.

Obama has had more blood than most.  The Aurora theater shooting, Sandy Hook, Ft. Hood I, Ft. Hood II, etc.  His disarmament efforts have failed for two reasons: 1) the Constitution, while in tatters, still reigns, and 2) Obama's massive communist inspirations do not match his inferior abilities.  It is not just us on the right who say America elected an incompetent as president.

But time is still on his side.  It is quite depressing to think what he has already accomplished, although most among us are still fooled.

What I'm about to say will anger some of my like-minded comrades.  Until I hear differently, this is my opinion.

The Bundy rancher story is smack dab in the gray zone.  It is not black nor white.

Like Ruby Ridge and Waco, the rancher is surrounded by agents itching for gun play promotions.  (The agents at both Ruby Ridge, where an unarmed mother holding her infant was shot by a FBI sniper, and at Waco where 19 children were burned alive in order to stop their rumored sexual abuse, were all retained and many were promoted.)

But that is where the comparisons end.

The ranchers were denied the use of BLM land after having had permission to use it.  Long ago.  They didn't stop using it.  This has been going on for many years, including during the Bush years, and the ranchers have forced the government's hand.  Yes, the government chose to escalate to today's armed standoff, and the escalation could lead to the loss of human life.

If it were my land, I'd escalate.  I expect a government "of the people," however, to show more discretion. More restraint.  More respect for life.  I agree, this government is not "of the people."

I humbly bow to those who are in the area to disrupt this government action.  "Dissent is patriotic," we were recently told.  That rule still applies.  My suggestion for that First Amendment Area (seen above with rancher Cliven Bundy) is to stage harassing drone activity.  Visit those sniper teams with camera-fitted drones so America can see the future.

Those are my thoughts at the moment with the information I've seen.

Mr. B. asks if you will stand down as you (we) did at Ruby Ridge and Waco.  He reminds us here that this is all about control.
