How
does one destroy an idea? Further, how does one destroy the truth?
Corrupt governments have been struggling with this dilemma since men
wore loincloths and worshiped fire. Fortunately for those of us in
the “lower strata” of social organization, honorable ideas and
indelible truths have a life of their own. Even when a culture as a
whole remains oblivious and unguarded, the facts tend to rise to the
surface one way or another. The reality which elitists at least
partly understand, is that the truth cannot be destroyed, but it can
be forgotten, at least for a time.
This
is a never-ending process. New generations arise, greater awareness
builds, old but astonishing concepts of freedom are rediscovered, and
the machine must struggle once again to keep the cogs in line. The
truth is a metaphysical force. When you do battle with the truth, you
do battle with the universe, and the universe’s Kung Fu is superior
to your Kung Fu.
Oligarchs
and tyrants still attack the foundations of natural law and natural
liberty by conning the public into believing that these inherent
belief systems are “antiquated” or “passe”, but this strategy
has a limited effect as long as strong freedom champions exist.
Liberty based movements and organizations are often tenacious,
intelligent, socially savvy, and much more willing to sacrifice
themselves for their cause than the enemy is willing for his cause.
The truth, when wielded by formidable warriors, rolls forward like an
high velocity electric storm.
Because
of this dynamic, criminal governments and their puppeteers have taken
a simpler path, moving to cripple and defame the speakers of truth in
a manner that they hope will stain and sully the truth itself.
In
the past decade, the Liberty Movement has grown beyond all
expectation. Millions of people have been jolted from their
intellectual sleep to discover a nation and a world on the brink of
economic, political, and moral collapse. They have seen beyond the
veil. They have been disgusted. And now, they are preparing to fight
back. Among those with open eyes are certain standouts; those
individuals and groups who were railing against the establishment and
its maniacal methods long before it was fashionable. These men and
women are leaders, in the sense that they are teachers rather than
managers. They do not control the movement, but they do INSPIRE the
movement. It is the most dedicated and the most uplifting of
activists that the system tends to target in order to demean the core
strength of the overall movement and tarnish its reputation.
A
recent and malicious example is the subversive electronic planting of
false evidence in an attempt to connect organizations like Oath
Keepers, We Are Change, and PANDA to illicit and illegal pornographic
materials:
This
is only one method of attack in the arsenal of slander and
destabilization, and while the culprits behind the action are not yet
known, the strategy is very similar to government run demonization
campaigns of the past (just read up on the history of Cointelpro).
The following is a list of tactics commonly used by governments to
divide activist groups, reduce their momentum, or cripple their image
in the public eye…
Low
Hanging Fruit
A
tactic used over and over again by federal agents is the “grooming”
of unaware stooges, or people only loosely associated with a
particular organization, otherwise known as “low hanging fruit”.
This is done through carefully planned suggestive questions by
undercover operatives. These questions will usually be designed to
elicit an incriminating response, which is then used to arrest the
activist and smear the organization he belongs to by association. For
instance, if someone you have not known for very long (meaning less
than several years) asked you:
“If
the SHTF, what buildings would you blow up and how would you do it?”
Or…
“Which
local cops do you think you would take out if you had to and how
would you do it…?”
Then
there is a good chance you are talking to a fed, or an informant with
a wire. Charges are built using the concept of “conspiracy”,
meaning, if they catch you on tape discussing anything that might be
construed as committing a specific crime, you can be arrested and
charged. This is exactly how the FBI pursued their case against
Hutaree Militia members in 2010, which eventually fizzled. However,
federal agencies have been very successful in many other incidences.
Anyone participating in Liberty Movement activism should remain
vigilant, and should never enter into hypothetical discussions of
specific violent actions.
Image
Destruction
To
stop good men from doing good things, you can kill them, but this is
messy and creates many questions. If possible, it is better to simply
damage their public image as “good men”. That is to say, if you
make good men criminals in the eyes of the public, then no one will
ask questions when you use force against them later. The sad reality
is, many people WANT to believe the worst in others. Much of humanity
is infected with apathy, compliance, and nihilism. They live empty
lives pandering like beggars for scraps from a soulless system. They
claim they want to believe in honor, courage, and clarity, but when
confronted with a person who actually exhibits these qualities in
abundance, they secretly feel ashamed of their own inadequacies.
A
substantial part of our society revels in the snuffing of heroes,
because they never want to admit how cowardly they personally are in
comparison. The fall of a hero makes them feel better about
themselves.
Defamation
works because people assume in most cases that slander is true
without evidence to support it. Depending on the nature of the
supposed crime, the stain may never go away even after vindication in
a court of law. If you want to poison the citizenry against a
particular freedom group, why not create false accusations of
thievery, rape, murder, terrorism, child pornography, etc. among its
members?
Planting
Evidence
Evidence
planting is an old favorite of evil men, but in the digital age, such
corruption has taken on more elaborate life. Computers are layered
storage devices, and most computer users never deal with or touch a
majority of these layers. As the Snowden/NSA scandal has now made
abundantly clear, the government has the ability not to mention the
legal framework to allow infiltration of your computer’s underlying
structure. They can remove whatever information they wish, and, they
can ADD whatever information they wish. A computer could be secretly
laced with incriminating data without the user being aware.
Furthermore,
arrested activists have no ability to monitor their home environment.
Whatever is “found” within the home can immediately be used as
evidence against the owner, even if the home has been placed out of
the owner’s control. Law enforcement officials are not necessarily
required to search a person’s home under owner supervision.
Anything can be planted at anytime.
Make
The Legal Appear Illegal
The
following video was discovered within the DHS/FEMA HSEEP website
archives. It portrays an imagined scenario using fictional news
footage in which “militia members” are raided by federal officers
under the guise of stopping terrorism:
Take
note that the DHS lists semi-automatic firearms, ammo, night vision,
and flak jackets as “contraband” in the video. These are all
perfectly legal items today. Arrests of those within the liberty
community are often accompanied by a display of stockpiled weapons,
as if the stockpiling of firearms is illegal. Household chemicals,
fertilizers, or reloading gunpowders are commonly presented to the
public as “bomb making materials”.
During
a crisis, prepping could easily be labeled “hording”, and those
with the good sense to organize for their own survival might be
treated as “selfish” or “treasonous” for refusing to
surrender their stockpiles to emergency management bureaucrats to be
parceled out as they see fit. In this way, the establishment uses the
fears of the populace to open morally relative doors. That which was
normal and legal before is made illegal without the law ever actually
being changed.
Scatter
Gun False Flags
Large
scale complex false flag operations used to be a tried and true
fallback for despotic regimes (I recommend deep study into the
exposure of Operation Gladio for a greater understanding of how False
Flags function). Lately, though, intricate false flags seem to be
backfiring on the establishment. The Boston Marathon Bombing did
produce an opportunity to test run large scale martial law tactics in
a populated area not seen since Katrina, but the event was incredibly
sloppy. Most Americans are at least partially suspicious of the
nature of the attack and the government response, including the fact
that the two main suspects were longtime FBI informants.
False
flag events will certainly be used against the Liberty Movement, but
I believe this will be done using multiple smaller scale attacks with
less players involved, like a spray of shot from a scatter gun. The
“crazed constitutionalist gun-nut” fantasy will be trotted out
over and over again in random shootings, bombings, cop killings and
so on. The media will make it seem as though stepping outside of
your home is certain death by way of “right wing extremism”.
Targets will be random and unassuming, giving rise to fears that
anyone, no matter where they live, could be next.
Night
Of Long Knives
Beyond
the realm of defamation lay physical action. Every tyranny in history
finalized authority using a “wiping of the slate”, as it were.
Political opponents are swept away in the night, or killed in their
beds in a meticulously organized and coordinated assault. This may
seem like an outmoded style of government aggression, but it is still
used today. Once again, the raids on members of the Hutaree Militia
were handled exactly like a Night of Long Knives scenario, using
multiple groups of officers in three separate states. Regardless of
what you might think of the Hutaree, the point is that the
establishment is training its law enforcement to use such tactics and
use them in advanced ways.
Prominent
Liberty Movement proponents should prepare for the worst, harden
their homes, and build a strong local community in case such an event
arises. The process of “decapitating the leadership” of
ideologically opposing organizations is a mainstay of oligarchy. In
the U.S. today, the existence of the indefinite detention and
rendition provisions of the NDAA and the “enemy combatant status”
applied to classified White House assassination lists means this
concern is not paranoia, but a cold hard reality of life for any
American standing against the system.
Good
Guys And Bad Guys
In
order for any government or corporate aristocracy to take control of
a culture, it must first assert itself as relevant. It must at least
appear useful to the people, so that it can gain their support. As
long as the state is viewed as the “bad guy” in the public mind,
there can be no dominance. A new bad guy must be engineered, and who
better to present as the great villain than your most effective
political adversaries.
There
will come a time in the near future when the demonization campaigns
of the DHS or the SPLC [Southern Poverty Law Center] today will seem
like a cakewalk. Count on it. The best our movement can do for now is
to expose each misstep of the establishment, and continue to weaken
their position. Every time we call out a propaganda initiative, or
derail it in advance of its inception, we reduce THEIR public image,
and cement our own.
It’s
a bit ironic, but usually what evil men want most is to be seen as
saviors; as guardians and protectors. They want to be seen as
benevolent knights in shining armor coming to rescue the poor
oblivious multitudes. When any information war hits it’s climax,
the goal of either side is to maintain the moral high ground. We
already have it, and thus, they have to take it. How they will seek
to do this is at once predictable, and horrifying.
