How we act on January 6th will be judged by future generations. **During an unprecedented time, it is our behavior which will set the precedent for those that follow. ** This is a burdensome responsibility. I advise that we all consider how easily one can destroy, but how few have what it takes to build. THINK BEFORE YOU ACT.
DO NOT become the tyranny we see in BLM and Antifa. We must steady ourselves with Grace and Poise, and know that the truth is on our side.
Our enemies, the globalists and CCP, WANT us to be divided. Any hate in our hearts for our fellow Americans - many of whom know not that they are brainwashed - is the result of their success in controlling the narratives spread by the media conglomerate. It is a disease that we are in the throes of curing.
Our fellow Americans are not part of the disease - they need only be shown a better way. We all saw their methods during the BLM and Antifa riots - now let us show them how patriots carry themselves and get things done.
On Jan 6th, WE will be writing the narrative. So, again, I say to you all: THINK BEFORE YOU ACT.
Yes, we must defend ourselves if attacked. Yes, we must push through to the Capital. But we must not forget that Trump is our Commander-in-Chief, and he has always exercised great patience. He has endured much, as we have endured much. He did not rush the National Guard in during the riots - he followed our Constitution and waited for orders from the state Governors. He did not take advantage of the COVID scare to grant himself unlimited power. Now, it seems, he is again being patient, exhausting all of his options and saving the most dreaded for last.
If nothing else, Pedes, what I am trying to say in this town square that we have built for ourselves is that I do not believe January 6th to be our last stand. No, I believe it to be our final PEACEFUL stand.
I ask - what if a group of DC Police stop a small group of armed patriots en-route to the Capital? We know this is illegal in DC (even though we all know it to be unconstitutional). What is the plan, then? Are we at the point where we expect those men to open fire? What comes next? How would such a move play into the grand strategy?
I ask - if we were to storm the Capital with guns, and point them at the traitors in our midst, forcing them to cast their dissent in our favor at gunpoint - what does that make us? Is that the precedent we want to set - threaten with violence if things are not going your way?
Our founders endured The Boston Massacre, and still, John Adams stood by his principals and successfully counseled the British soldiers against a packed court to allow justice to prevail.. He must have known he was setting a precedent for future generations, and I offer to all of you that he acted accordingly. So, too, must we.
The people of Athens, Tennessee endured much. At the end of their ordeal, they did not call the election for themselves. They allowed the vote to continue and counted the ballots fairly and honestly. These people, it seems to me, stayed true to their principals.
We must do the same, no matter how high and intense our emotions. We must appeal to the better parts of ourselves and not get carried away on this day.
May I suggest we let Trump fire the first shot to be heard round the world and follow his lead. I believe he is not yet finished executing the moves on his chessboard.
Let us show the world on January 6th that we are principled people. advocating for the peaceful and total application of truth and justice and - if we are not to be granted it, than we shall Appeal to Heaven and seek it with the only option we have left - SWIFT, RIGHTEOUS FORCE.
We must be strategic and think long-term. We must know when to strike, and we must know how to win and what victory must look like. January 6th, in my eyes, is our last warning to the traitors. FOLLOW TRUMP'S LEAD - DO NOT STRIKE EARLY.
We're on the same side. Get that grade school shit out of here.
What part of my advice are they hoping we all take? That we wait to use swift and overwhelming force until Trump gives us the greenlight? I'm not really following you, because I agree with many of your points, so I'm not clear what we disagree on.
In your opinion, how do we fight the sources of greed and corruption and weakness that are causing our government to decline?
When you say "now or never," and "a show of a strength," what specifically do you mean? Everyone throws these phrases around but always without specifics.
My point is merely that this influence that has taken hold in our country is vast. It is everywhere. It is not JUST in the capital building in DC. Storming the capital building, now, without a solid plan or strategy for how to deal with the tech companies, entertainment industry, school system, large corporations, HR departments, etc, who are all beholden to the globalists and the CCP is blowing our load, in my mind.
They were coordinated. So we should be, too. Everyone on Jan 6, to my knowledge, is just showing up with their own ideas about what needs to be done or what is happening. That is NOT a formula for success. That is the main point I am making. Do you disagree?
In my city (a liberal city, so I know very well what you are claiming I know nothing about), our AG is Soros-funded, our Gov is Soros-funded, and our mayor is Soros-funded. It is insane to me how thoroughly planned this takeover was.
So, what do we do? You seem to be be in the camp that believes we start lobbing bullets and threatening congress members on Jan 6, so what are the rules of engagement? Which ones are we going for? Who are the enemy combatants? What is the plan? Who is in charge? What is the plan for Days 1-3, and Week 2? What is the grand strategy, and how do we achieve it?
I'm serious. Perhaps you disagree, but it seems to me that a great many people here are not thinking through what it takes to fight something like this. I believe we can do it, but we need a leader and a plan - all I am saying is that Trump is that man, and he is telling us to show up in DC on the 6th to protest in as large of numbers as we can - not to start getting in shootouts with the DC police. I trust that he has other tricks up his sleeve. Do you?
[EDIT] To give an example of strategy, I doubt many people have had the time to consider a contingency plan in case the cell towers get overloaded or go down. Have you thought about this scenario? Two-way radios don't work well in our city (and urban areas, in general), so everyone in my small group has one of these pre-programmed and ready to go. If the cell towers go down, we're all set. We have maps with meeting points in case we get separated or our phones die, we've discussed scenarios when we would use force to defend ourselves, rehearsed it in our minds, etc, just generally prepped for as much as we could SO WE CAN BE EFFECTIVE.
I just want our cause to BE EFFECTIVE. So we need to plan and do it right. It doesn't seem that Jan 6th is the moment for that - just to show up in numbers and show our politicians how pissed we are and how ready we are to go to the next step if they take this last bit of justice from us.
Your claim:
My actual post:
We're on the same side. If we start to have trouble differentiating friend from foe even amongst ourselves, we're fucked. You're redlining, friend. Pull back just a bit and save it for the real enemy. See you on the 6th.
Well said, and I completely agree. So I want us to stack the odds in our favor as much as possible. I'm not convinced we've done that, yet, because I believe that Trump still has a few options left (three court cases where he is the plaintiff, his EO from 2018, etc).
Occupy Wall Street didn't achieve anything, I argue, because everyone just showed up, and that was it. Same with the Yellow Vests, the way I understand it. Even BLM didn't achieve many of their goals, in my opinion, because everyone just showed up. I listened to those knuckleheads march through my neighborhood and they clearly didn't know what the fuck they were doing, it was pathetic. Everyone was there for a different reason.
I don't want that to be us.
The Ukrainians in Kiev in 2014 had a plan - they showed up to their capital in absolutely absurd numbers and EVERYONE was on the same page and laser-focused on the single goal of getting their president to resign. They endured incredible violence and hardship against them but, in so doing, they proved that they were righteous. Not only did they win once they fought back (and they did FIGHT, eventually), but they did it in a way that was completely admired by the international community.
Our founders did that, too. They endured so much shit. And when they declared independence, all of Europe knew why.
We all want justice for the stolen election, but how do we do that? Firing squad without a trial by dragging senators out by the coats?
As I've said in this thread and my OP, even John Adams knew he had to help defend the British soldiers after the Boston Massacre and be their lawyer to give them a fair trial (and he won for them!). I'm not prepared to fucking execute someone without them having a fair trial with all of their rights, because as Adams said, if we can't do that for every man, we don't have a free country, and I agree with him.
Whatever we do, we have to uphold the Constitution and be righteous. If we fuck that up, I think we also lose everything. Washington was the man for what he did on Christmas, he actually crossed that river three fucking times that day - did you know that? We are setting a precedent for our country. I'm worried some have forgotten that.
I've rambled enough. I want to know what you think. This is what our first amendment is for. We have the freedom to discuss anything and the good ideas get filtered to the top. Do you think we are as organized and focused as we need to be? Am I totally off base?
What do you mean?
And believe me, I'm ready to fight. I just want to be as sure as I possibly can that the people we'd go after deserve it, unequivocally, and that all other options have well and truly failed.
