As "idiots are cocksure while the wise are full of doubt," no one, not even an idiot, is wrong every time. Should Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard have allowed the Union ships, full of supplies and troops, that were steaming for Fort Sumter, to arrive to guarantee that Lincoln could "Collect my imposts and duties;" or was Beauregard right to attack and take the Fort with the only loss of life being a Yank who died when a cannon inside the fort exploded? The cutthroats who have always controlled the Federal Government have always been, and will continue to be, experts at forcing their opposition into a corner so that they feel compelled to "fire the first shot." Is time on the side of the freedom minded who just want to be left alone, or on the side of the homicidal psychopaths who will stop at nothing to gain control. The only thing I'm sure of is that I don't know.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07427768381715428732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-54340026142848341242017-05-08T23:06:47.759-07:002017-05-08T23:06:47.759-07:00Good lesson from Aesop here.

The first half is a distilled version of the training program we put our guys through in WW2, and is worth the money for that. No sheepdog tacticool BS -- just how to train your body to react under fire.<br /><br />The second half was written in the Fifties and details the rise of the 'ideologically inspired' mob, which at that point was a new and worrying development in both Americas. Read it and you will be staggered at the descriptions of the financing, the organization, the agitprop, the aim of seizing control of public spaces and marginalizing the police, of terrorizing anyone who objects and manipulating events to generate martyrs for the cause. Of constantly escalating the level of violence, of the view towards destabilizing civic life, of capitalizing on any overreaction by the authorities, and of the constant importance of ideological indoctrination. Read it. It's all there. You'll recognize it instantly.<br /><br />OWS, BLM, Antifa, etc. may not be trained or financed by the KGB any more. But they are trained and led and financed by the people who were. And yes -- they have a multi-tier command structure that regards friendly casualties as a bennie.Rivenshieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12838742377855184956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-31492056311429890022017-05-07T09:36:56.623-07:002017-05-07T09:36:56.623-07:00A simply fascinating missive, sir!

The truth is there is nothing we can do to avoid all the blame. 1000s of bullets could fly from Left to Right but just one going the other direction will result is us being blamed for it all. I hope it never comes to this; however, the Left hold their beliefs as their religion and convinced that "god" is on their side.
