Where will the NEXT STANDOFF happen?

http://thefifthcolumnnews.com/2016/01/where-should-the-militias-make-their-next-stand/

he American militia movement has deteriorated and been led astray by those who seek to use it for their own ends. It has lost its tactical edge because it is following people who want to be internet famous and be seen as leaders of a revolution. They’re more interested in talking about than they are in preparing for it. I know of several organizations and individuals who still maintain their tactical wits. They aren’t livestreaming their conversations and they don’t pay yearly dues to an supposedly militant organization via credit card. Think about the fact that the “security detail” in Oregon didn’t have the common sense to stop people from livestreaming conversations. The FBI has the internet too. They didn’t know it was tactically unsound to provide their opposition with a detailed inventory of their supplies. They didn’t know it was bad form to adopt a position that could be completely and totally controlled by their opposition. These are not the actions of a force that is ready to go toe-to-toe with the most powerful government in the world. These aren’t even the actions of  a force ready to go toe-to-toe with a decent community paintball team.

Many within the movement have visions of some great heroic feat restoring liberty to the nation. Here in the real word, that isn’t how it works. The federal government is seen by many militias as the enemy. A matured movement would understand their enemy. They would understand that it has redundant command and control aspects and that no single engagement will bring it to its knees. The US government has a plan to maintain continuity of government even if a nuclear war destroys the major cities and kills half of the population. Is it even remotely feasible that some Alamo-style siege can bring it to its knees?

The reality of what it would take to bring the federal government down is something so horrible, nobody who understands what it would take wants it to happen. It would be a lengthy civil insurrection lasting years. Tens of millions of dead. Bombings that hit civilian targets. Rampant famine and disease. Snipers that shoot people trying to make it across the street simply to take their supplies. Mass graves. War crimes unlike anything the US has ever seen. The complete breakup of the nation. This is the scene that will take place before a government collapse. It would make Rwanda and Bosnia look like a simple bar fight.  The reality of what it would take to force the US government to make concessions is almost as bad and involves murderous tactics on a scale never seen here before. If you expected the Oregon situation to turn out any differently, you probably need to stop reading blogs written by people who fear-monger for profit and start reading some history books.

Those who write these fear-mongering blogs calling for armed action while safe behind a screen, are the movements politicians. They help shape policy and planning. What would you think of a politician that helped place people in harm’s way without the resources to back them up? How many of those blogs call Hillary Clinton a traitor for engaging in the same behavior during the Benghazi fiasco?

Calling for the militant overthrow of the government is not a game. It’s not a hobby. It certainly isn’t a business. It’s something that has life and death consequences. This movement is sending people into a situation they aren’t ready for without the tools or training to win, and it’s all being done for the sake of YouTube clicks. The people in this movement need to take a look at their leadership before they end up being the next ones bleeding to death in the snow for engaging in an unwinnable mission.
