Although I always considered TPUSA to be fairly wishy-washy and too attached to the israeli teat, at least it showed that people on the right could group up to work for a common goal. It was Charlie's letting go of that teat that got him killed, We better start thinking about grouping up before we're picked off one by one. One of the major problems, of course, is who can you trust? And, once Whites start grouping up, they are instantly infiltrated by some shadowy govt branch, not to mention that any attempt to help our own people is instantly met by accusations of being a Nazi, racist, bigot, homophobe (what a misnomer, nobody is afraid of those fruitcakes), or other such smear. Maybe it's time to just agree with whatever they call us, our pathetic and groveling explanations and excuses will never be believed anyway. We are literally in a fight for our lives, and if a dem is elected president in 2028, I think the US will resemble Soviet Russia during the terror. Our opponents are vicious, committed, and without empathy.
I have to admit, when the "shading" is removed from titles such as "Nazi, racist, bigot, or homophobe", the literal definitions of those terms hit pretty close to my center anymore.
There are others I 'd be proud to claim, but they have to be earned.
That the Republicans play a part, they are the sugar in the old song, "a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down." If the left announced that MAGA was going to be lined up and shot, the Republicans would say: "Well, it doesn't have to be a straight line, owning to natural liberty and all of that."
What a superb illustration of the total wretchedness of our situation!
Yes, it is sad that so few are willing to try to stop the quenching of the Constitution and Individual Liberties, as you say, T.L.. To me that is Human Nature.
But that Human Nature of reluctance will transform itself into actionable violence and Force of Arms will come when the necessities are gone. Food & Water primarily.
“Revolutions eventually occur because of hunger and empty stomachs,” as the saying goes.
However, "Chaos will begin IMMEDIATELY with the shortage or lack of water." The latter (water) is now as fragile as the food supply system.
People say it can’t happen!?
They can keep repeating that to their thirsty souls, while my Family and Neighborhood Group has water when they do not.
Store Food and Water for what’s coming. PREPARE. YOU and YOURS are ON YOUR OWN!
The government will not help you survive as even recent American history shows.

“When an animal calls out a warning of danger, unseen to other animals, the others don’t question the motive as their instincts are still intact. When a human warns other humans, because precursors of issues that have repeatedly caused Mankind great harm and suffering throughout history are evident again, they laugh and call him a conspiracy theorist, because their instincts have been rendered useless.”
“Any species that does not have the instinct of survival, that cannot or will not defend themselves, is doomed to extinction… as time has shown.” Author Jack Lawson
From Jack Lawson… an American in 1RLI Support Commando and attached to Rhodesian “C Squadron” SAS Africa 1976-79
"In China, Xi Jinping is seen to step down from his role as leader, and a leadership struggle ostensibly ensues. There is a crisis with the Chinese debt and much civil strife is reported in the cities. Other activity, such as departures of container ships with goods headed for the US and other countries, continues unabated, money has to be made and trade must continue. This time, the cargo is very much different…
In the US, a low intensity civil conflict has begun, something like the Troubles in Northern Ireland, with a US counterpart to the Provisional IRA. Similar conflict has been set off in the UK. Lines of communication have been shut down and there is a high level of mutual suspicion and mistrust, and the population has been set off, in various small groups against each other, on political lines, fostered and fed by social media.
The divisions are intensified, and armed criminal actions make moving about unsafe, there are “no go” neighborhoods, perhaps even checkpoints with armed groups, with a tendency to shoot first and ask questions later. The government and media play into these divisions, playing one side off against the other, favoring one side and persecuting another - instead of preserving order, they help to create disorder and instability, weakening themselves in the process. And policing fails to re-establish order, and the military is called in, in specific trouble spots - but the trouble spots multiply until the military is overwhelmed.
The “students” could at a determined time, begin to gather groups of illegal migrants at certain rally points - as innocent as a community picnic in a state or local park and establish a communications structure - easily done with apps on cell phones - and you have nascent PLA units, as yet unarmed, but that could quickly change.
A couple of container ships could bring in containers full of drones - such as used by Ukraine in its Operation Spiderweb - which could be dispersed to strategic locations in the US, including farmland owned by the PLA or fronts adjacent to military bases. Similarly, containers full of arms and munitions could be brought in and placed in locations - perhaps behind a WalMart or other “big box” store - for use at the intended time by the nascent PLA units as formed above.
On War Day, a cyberattack could be made to paralyze communications in the target country, actions by Antifa/fifth column groups in spreading disorder and mass panic could occur, and the nascent PLA groups could be fleshed out, armed, and put in location to accomplish certain missions relating to government and mass media - and the kick-off would be a “time-on-target” drone attack against US military and transportation hub targets, the same way Ukraine destroyed about one-third of Russia’s strategic bomber force. And en masse, a fait accompli could be presented to whatever was left of the various governments in the US.
And it would be Game Over, the only response would be a nuclear one using the Trident fleet or whatever replaced it. Would such a response happen - or would the US government fold and take the “deal” offered? Or we could get lucky, since very few war plans survive past the first shot fired, and the war could stretch on for years - just as long as China could bring over and supply more troops… Either way, it would be a calamity." https://streamfortyseven.substack.com/p/some-thoughts-about-a-potential-civil
If you look at the list, all of them apply to "modern" wars including civil wars, with the difference being the economic and cultural condition of the combatants. Destruction of, and/or loss of trust in complex societies will send a country skidding down the ladder.
One example of this is the apocryphal Einstein quote, which was actually a quote from an Army lieutenant after a Bikini Atoll nuke test.
During the Bikini operations, a discussion arose as to what weapons would be used in the next war–atom bombs, germs, rockets.

How many countries in Africa have taken themselves from a reasonably prosperous society to a corrupt, bankrupt, barbarous, starving hell hole? How many in South America and Europe are headed the same way? Are we so special "it can't happen here"?
Interesting and well said. I read the Generations of Warfare to my husband, and he says the Chinese started the 5th and 6th back in the 1990s, when they said that EVERYTHING is warfare: energy, food, education, health, military.
The Chinese "National Intelligence Law" of 2017 says in Article 7 that it's the “obligation of Chinese citizens to support national intelligence work.” Further, Article 14 grants intelligence agencies authority to insist on this support: “state intelligence work organs, when legally carrying forth intelligence work, may demand that concerned organs, organizations, or citizens provide needed support, assistance, and cooperation.” https://thediplomat.com/2019/02/the-real-danger-of-chinas-national-intelligence-law/
In spite of this we fill our corporations and universities with Chinese nationals, then wonder why they steal us blind and corrupt our citizens and politicians.
Not only a fighter, but a born leader. You're exactly the type of visionary we need in this tussle.
I'd be stoked to see a couple other Texans throw their hat in the ring, Col. Allen West (Ret.) and Ted Nugent come to mind. Polar opposites perhaps, but both eager for the truth to be heard, and also both pretty good motivators.
I breath easier having these gut-wrenching yet essential conversations.
“The loss of the great Republic we once knew.” Mr. T.L. You, sir have written the words my mind and soul have been feeling for several years.
And today the feeling is worse than yesterday. My world view is reduced to the County I live in and the property I call home. Bad stuff going on everywhere in every institution.
Ongoing thanks TL! I’ve had to pull back a little over the last year. I felt as though I was in the toilet of depression, swirling in circles. Helpless but not helpless. Still able to discern right from wrong and aghast with the lemmings that blindly follow whatever they are told. Independent analysis and thought- out the window. I always seem to return to The Fourth Turning, continuing to prepare as best that I can for the inevitable. Be well brother.
Thanks for your response. There is a much higher power, and I firmly believe that as a Christ follower! It's the frustration, my friend, that wigs me out. Frustration with those who consider themselves the elites and frustration with those who don't care. I do enjoy a good Bourbon now and then, but must remind myself of Ernest Hemingway's lament. He said he needed to drink to be able to tolerate the stupid people in the room! I tend to agree with that wholeheartedly. ;-}
I like all the essays, articles, letters, and comments; however, everyone says we must act. I agree but my question is how should we act to prevent further tyranny? I have called, written letters, emailed my representatives, especially in the federal government. I have protested locally and once even in the Emerald City. I am willing to close ranks with others but at 68 years old I am limited in exertion. I share and spread articles, memes, and reports of all kinds with family and friends. I do have food, water, equipment, clothing, and defense measures prepared and waiting for that proverbial calamity. I was a public high school history, government, and economics teacher for 30 years gained the animosity of colleagues and administration because I taught the truth about the Constitution and how it was designed to operate. I used many resources that are and were respected by exegetical constitutional conservatives such as; the Federalist Papers and the Antifederalist Papers, especially Antifederalist #17. I used writings from Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Thomas Woods among many others. I am an Army Infantry Veteran (served in the 1970s), a former truck driver and general laborer. I worked until I was 31 and then went to college, graduated at 35, began teaching in 1993 and retired at 65 in 2023. When I was told directly by an assistant principal that I had to lie to students, I knew I was done. I then taught one year in a private Christian school. I have many stories about education and few of them are with good connotations. I am sure that many of my former students remember things I explained, said, and warned about. I do not know what else I can do to stop the metastasizing tyranny. I would appreciate suggestions!
It is an information war up to kinetic war, through that and more importantly after that, if there’s anything left. History of the kinetic war will be written by those who win it, but can always be countered by those who lost.
One of your best. Truly captures both the moment. And our own personal battle to wrestle with forces beyond our control, as well as our own hearts and minds.
Reflective thoughts today prompted by a screen image o a great cathedral that just popped up; oh, how I wish I hadn't been a bored young guy who took all that excellence for granted and never looked - really looked and saw the true beauty until much later.
What few have said in these words but I believe hits most of us, is that our 'world' - that which we have founded our very nature, beliefs and lives on in the deepest - and therefore almost invisible way (you never see the glasses you are looking through) - is one thread from being erased from the Earth - forever.
I've sensed it and talked about culture, tradition etc. going away as have many, but it's deeper than that, and that is why so many have missed it. There has been a 'force' at work for decades or centuries - I don't know - that has targeted 'Our Way and People' for utter erasure, and only now have some woken up, but we are staggering around like a drunk waking up with a hangover, not quite knowing where he is and confused about what day it is.
It may well be too late and that entire world is dead, having given up with snivels, snores, and the kaching kaching of purchased suicide.
Or maybe - just maybe not. There may be a 'spirit,' DNA encodings, a cultural 'force' - I don't know - that may be igniting to fight back and once again reproduce, but that hour is so, so late.
Someone we have inhaled the Pixie Dust deeply and fully for a very long time, and what it is I cannot say, yet we drank Soul Poison for sure at some stage and asked for more.
Our heritage at one point had great, awesome beauty as an integral part, along with a spirit of power, and yet another of endless exploration, with the intelligence to express it all.
Architecture reflects many things as does art, and perhaps the West actually peaked in the 1600's, or maybe earlier or later. Maybe when we decided God is dead and science and production are King - I don't know that either.
But the battle has been for our soul, and I pray that when finally, the pitchforks and tar do finally come out, it's not just a last gasp before Nightfall.
Although I always considered TPUSA to be fairly wishy-washy and too attached to the israeli teat, at least it showed that people on the right could group up to work for a common goal. It was Charlie's letting go of that teat that got him killed, We better start thinking about grouping up before we're picked off one by one. One of the major problems, of course, is who can you trust? And, once Whites start grouping up, they are instantly infiltrated by some shadowy govt branch, not to mention that any attempt to help our own people is instantly met by accusations of being a Nazi, racist, bigot, homophobe (what a misnomer, nobody is afraid of those fruitcakes), or other such smear.

Bravo.
Thank you.
Hear here, Sir.
I have to admit, when the "shading" is removed from titles such as "Nazi, racist, bigot, or homophobe", the literal definitions of those terms hit pretty close to my center anymore.
There are others I 'd be proud to claim, but they have to be earned.
Onward, Christian soldiers!

Personally, I believe we've been in a 4th and 5th generation version of a civil war since 2008.
For those not familiar, a decent description of the 5 generations of warfare can be found here: https://discover.hubpages.com/education/What-is-1st-2nd-3rd-4th-and-5th-Generation-of-Warfare
There is now also a 6th generation postulated.

@Eric,
"the toilet of depression"....an apt description as to how many think/feel,
at times. We have our lives, relationships, more and more with financial
worries, and not able to believe much of anything in the false reality we
live in. Such a drag-squared. The German's have an expression, "Veld Schmatz" or
world pain. Violent upheavals are the 4rth turning and we are in one, by my
assessment. Also, the US can become more USA first and last. Just
stop giving billions here there, and everywhere, keep things close to home and
conserve, and stop trying to control everything. Men compete for $ and power,
women compete for the solid love and loyalty of a man. Nothing can change that,
regardless, we had better figure things out so we can support win-win outcomes
for all countries we deal with. Pipe dream? Maybe, but somehow we find ourselves
in a world of retarded thinking. or no thinking at all, let us pray to the power of good
for some relief from this colossal mess and stop playing "our nukes are bigger than
your nukes. Let's play, "our compassion and humanity are tops".
Be well Eric,
Regards,
Suzanna
