1. Congressional Black Caucus – meaning YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES, members of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT – is out there stirring up the rhetoric, getting their constituents all spun up against the Tea Party, evoking images of Jim Crow, lynchings, war, etc. Link to video available here.
2. Anarchist/Communist group threatens class warfare against Tea party. Link to video available here.
3. From my prior posting: “The Real Enemy is the Tea Party.”
4. From Maxine Waters: “I’m not afraid of anybody,” Waters told the crowd. “This is a tough game. You can’t be intimidated. You can’t be frightened. As far as I’m concerned, the Tea Party can go straight to hell.”
So what does it all add up to? See this pithy analysis found on the Internet from someone that is the target of the above threats:
The folks who are getting free stuff, don’t like the folks who are paying for the free stuff, because the folks who are paying for the free stuff, can no longer afford to pay for both the free stuff and their own stuff. And, the folks who are paying for the free stuff, want the free stuff to stop. And the folks who are getting the free stuff, want even MORE free stuff on top of the free stuff they’re already getting!
Now, the people who are forcing the people who PAY for the free stuff, have told the people who are RECEIVING the free stuff, that the people who are PAYING for the free stuff, are being mean, prejudiced, and racist. So, the people who are GETTING the free stuff, have been convinced they need to HATE the people who are PAYING for the free stuff by the people who are forcing the people who are PAYING for the free stuff and GIVING them the free stuff in the first place.
We are seeing the political class-warfare and race-warfare rhetoric heating up to a god-awful degree. And it’s being fomented by elected Representatives of the United States Congress — and the President, of course, months and months ago, started this process with his “get in their faces” instructions to his legions. You know, this guy:
That should let you know two things:
1. This divisive government-sponsored rhetoric is REALLY HAPPENING. It is not tinfoil conspiracy stuff or SHTF-masturbatory fantasy.
2. The federal government is beyond the “gloves are off” stage; it has taken its gloves off and is poking the Tea Party in the chest.
I have started a Tea Party group in my neck of the woods to try to push back via the legitimate political system, by applying legitimate nonviolent political pressure on elected representatives. But I wonder more and more if it is merely rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, and whether my efforts are better spent on cardio and FM 7-70 in preparation for defending against a coming violent political arena.
ADDITIONAL DATA POINTS: We had Hurricane Irene hit central Virginia this weekend. Not much damage here other than the power out and some trees down (none in our yard, thankfully). But there were two interesting data points to take away:
1. Where the stoplights were out, we’re supposed to treat it as a four-way stop. Hell, I remember that from driver’s education class in the mid-1980s. Apparently I was the only person who remembered that; most of the intersections operated according to Road Warrior rules of the road that said “road with most lanes has right of way, followed by biggest truck, followed by those with the attitude to say ‘screw you, I’m going through.’” Not a good commentary on how people behave when the rules aren’t in place. If we cannot count on folks to obey one traffic law on how to treat a dead traffic signal, how can we count on them to not steal or rat out neighbors who have food/generator/firearms?
2. A neighbor who works in public safety was at his post near the projects during the hurricane. According to him, once the power was out, the Free Stuff Army in the projects quickly figured out that alarm systems wouldn’t work, so they looted the convenience stores, bypassing the D-cell batteries for alcohol. Then, after a mere 24 hours of no power and no A/C, the FSA started chanting “WE WANT POWER!” and lit trash cans and a vehicle on fire. Then, some of them approached the local fire station to demand D-cell batteries and ice, and were genuinely dumbfounded that the fire station was not there to hand out freebies. If those folks are that ignorant of how to prepare for crisis, they will be easily recruited into a Reparations Army to come for your stuff.
EDITED TO ADD UNRELATED VIDEO FROM ATLANTA FROM EARLY AUGUST WHEN FOOD STAMPS CARDS HAD A GLITCH: http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/dpp/news/local_news/Clayton-County-Food-Stamp-Snafu-Angers-Many-20110810-am-sd Now imagine this in your AO for an extended period of time.
Form your defensive tribes now.

You’re in central VA? Interesting, seems there are quite a few like-miinded people in this general region (I know some in Waynesboro and Farmville, for example).
And Hanover County, Spotslyvania County, Caroline County.
I wish you well with you Tea Party efforts, I hope you’re correct and I’m wrong when I say that the game is rigged and it’s futile to try and change it from within.
This whole FSA mentality is apparent everywhere that people have had the self esteem leached out of them. I’m not meaning the “everybody scores, everybody wins” or “bullying awareness” that they spoon feed the youth these days, but self esteem that comes from standing on your own feet and providing for yourself and family. That’s gone, simply erased from the faces of the denizens of the section 8 housing, right here in my little hometown of 8000.
After this next war, we’re going to have a big task at hand. It’s going to be similar to the de-Nazification efforts that were used in Germany to get heads back on straight and minds in the proper reference. These people of the FSA are going to have to be taught the values of labor, sacrifice and responsibility. If they’re not, then they will simply remain useless and parasitic, as they are today. I think this will be even more daunting that the rebuilding of Germany, simply because the raw material, the German folk, had a cultural ethic of hard work and resilience.
For now, I’m putting stock in these recently affordable 75 round AK drums instead of our corrupt political process and looking to emulate Paul (Thessalonians) and Miles Standish in the not too distant future, where if we’re lucky, those too lazy to work won’t be a burden much longer.
Welcome to ZANLA’s version of the FSA’s paradise; Zimbabwe.
Anarchist is so far from Communist. Anyway I guess the word is forever tarnished by the purveyors of Government approved text books.
I’m an Anarchist (believe in a voluntary society ie Capitalism) and I identify with the Tea Party.
I’m also not racist.
Doesn’t matter, Chuck. A little former lefty perspective for you: Those accusing you of being a racist are building the justification in their “minds” for murdering you. They will then loot your goods and rape any offspring (both sexes) you might have or care about. When the time comes, understand their intent and act appropriately.
I liked your data points from your AO, post-Irene. Those little gems are shades of better communication that was done monthly some years back. Would be nice to have it up again.
I agree with your main point that the FSA stuff is really happening, and that it is being encouraged at high levels. Heck, Zero’s only chance for another four years is dependent on what can be done to whip up the FSA and their dead relatives. People can expect to see much more of this in the run-up for the next prez election.
Otherwise, my reaction to news of this nature, is hope for bringing on the game of finding life’s winners and losers.
Ignorance is usually easily controlled. The PTB are playing it. The Tea Party is on their game and will ultimately have to kick buttocks to restore this country’s constitution. Bring it!
2012 won’t be Mayan, it will be my un’s. THE FSA IS ALREADY SETTING THE STAGE.
The entirety of the so called “Progressive Black Caucus”, every last one of them.. are in direct support and members of the DSAUSA, aka Democratic Socialists of America. You can prove it by searching the wayback machine at the internet archive here:
