Prediction: Nov 4 will be a flop. Many patriots on the political right are concerned about the possibility of leftist violence beginning Nov 4, and continuing in the days to follow, because of a call to action put out by the Soros funded, communist organization Refuse Fascism (and online sabre rattling on both “sides” surrounding it). That call to action is the real source of all you will find online about Nov 4 being the supposed kick-off for the overthrow of the “Trump/Pence Regime.” You can read it here. And a near copy was also posted on the Revolutionary Communist Party (Revcom) site, here.
Note that one of the founders of Refuse Fascism is Carl Dix, who is a leader in Revcom. Another founder of Refuse Fascism is Marxist “professor” Cornel West, also a Revcom leader. And of course the communist terrorist Bill Ayers is also a key founder of Refuse Fascism. It is communist through and through, and Refuse Fascism is really just a front and recruitment tool for Revcom as it tries to capitalize on the left’s fear and anger against Trump, to bring more people into joining a full on communist party (just like Revcom used Ferguson and other police shootings to try to bring more people into the communist fold).
Let me just say up front that I think this Nov. 4 kickoff will be a massive flop (but with an important caveat, below), just like Refuse Fascism’s massive flop on Inauguration Day, Jan 21, 2017, and the days thereafter. Back in the bygone days of January (feels like years ago!), Refuse Fascism used the same sort of heated rhetoric about taking extraordinary, “outside the system” action to prevent Trump from even assuming the office of President or to remove him immediately thereafter. They spoke directly about causing such a political crisis that both wings of the establishment would have no choice but to remove Trump/Pence. It was a massive flop. Nothing happened in D.C. on January 21 other than Refuse Fascism useful idiots walking around with signs with warmed over communist slogans on them and Antifa jackasses breaking windows, assaulting a few people, and burning a limousine owned (ironically) by a Muslim immigrant (ironic because they make so much noise about supposedly standing up for Muslim immigrants). There was no massive uprising to prevent Trump and Pence from assuming office and no grass-roots “color revolution” camped on the White House lawn or otherwise grew to the point of causing a political crisis that drove Trump from office.
And that is how this weekend will go as well when it comes to the actual Refuse Fascism initiative. It will be a massive flop. The communists who run Refuse Fascism are repeating the same heated rhetoric about an “unprecedented” fascist regime taking power, and the need to remove it from power by means outside the conventional political system. Here is a sample:
THIS NIGHTMARE MUST END. Millions feel this and ache with the question of how to stop this unrelenting horror. The stakes are nothing less than the future of humanity and the planet itself.Also watch this to see the clear connection between Refuse Fascism and the Revolutionary Communist Party (Revcom):
Who will end this nightmare? We will. Only the determined struggle of millions of people acting together with courage and conviction can drive this regime from power.
JOIN US – Take to the streets and public squares across the country, beginning a movement of protests that continue day after day and night after night. A movement working to grow from thousands to hundreds of thousands and eventually millions. A movement determined to not stop until our demand is met:
THIS NIGHTMARE MUST END: THE TRUMP/PENCE REGIME MUST GO!
Our actions reflect the values of respect for all of humanity and the world we want – in stark contrast to the hate and bigotry of the Trump/Pence fascist regime.
Our determination to persist and not back down will compel the whole world to take note. Every force and faction in the power structure would be forced to respond to our demand. The cracks and divisions among the powers evident today will sharpen and widen. As we draw more and more people forward to stand up, all of this could lead to a situation where this illegitimate regime is removed from power.
While history shows that communists are
more than happy to use physical violence to achieve their goals when
they think they can get away with it, at least on the surface what
Refuse Fascism/Revcom is trying to do is spark massive, ongoing “color
revolution” style protests that will bring about a political crisis
sufficient to give Trump’s enemies in both the Democratic and Republican
parties the political cover they need to remove Trump from office. In
that sense Refuse Fascism is a “peaceful” group (for now). This latest
astroturf “peoples revolution” will fail, and it will fail specifically
because only a tiny number of Americans feel strongly enough about it
to stand out in the cold for even one day, let alone weeks or months on
end.
And even if all on the left were willing
to take to the streets indefinitely to “demand” that Trump/Pence be
removed, the other half of the country would not only refuse to join
them, but would actively oppose them, and thus there will be no “popular
people’s color revolution” as we saw in Egypt, Tunisia, or even in the
recent example of South Korea. Ironically, the very same left/right
deep political division and cold civil war that the left has been
relentlessly feeding will prevent them from ever having enough Americans
on their side to have a snowball’s chance in hell of any such
“peaceful” mass uprising outcome. Even if all leftists took to the
streets, at most they would kick off a civil war, not a popular people’s
uprising. But not enough of them are willing to stand in the cold to
even get anywhere near causing any such crisis, whatever the outcome.
If they had the numbers willing to do it, they would have done it over
the summer when the weather was on their side. That should tell you
all you really need to know. So, this will be a big “nothingburger”
when it comes to the call to action (but see my two caveats below).
As for supposed plans by Antifa to go
kinetic in some kind of coordinated attack and spark a civil war on
November 4, please note that, according to Oath Keeper Navy Jack (who
tracks all things Antifa) approximately 70% of all the “Antifa” Facebook
and Twitter pages are actually fakes put up by agitators who love to
troll Antifa and get people spun up about what Antifa is supposedly
planning so people on the right will turn out in armed opposition to a
fake threat. Two confirmed examples this summer of fake Antifa sites
being used to get people on the political right spun up was the alleged
threat to tear down the Sam Houston statue, and the threat to tear down
or deface memorials at Gettysburg. Both were total fakes. Please keep
that in mind and don’t let yourself be manipulated into showing up armed to oppose a fake threat (gee, I wonder who that would benefit – always ask cui bono?).
My advice for this weekend and the coming
weeks is to let the cops handle it and let the cop hating, America
hating, Refuse Fascism/Revcom and Antifa useful idiots show their asses,
and don’t directly confront them or counter-protest against them. They
desperately want the optics of right wingers showing up with guns to
counter-protest against them so they can screech about fascist
oppression by “Trump’s Brown Shirts.” And they would love to
capitalize on another Charlottesville outcome of leftists being injured
or killed by someone considered to be on the right. Don’t give it to
them. The better way to go is to let them hold their silly, weak,
public temper tantrums, and at most covertly observe, spot, and report
any criminal activity to the police, as we did with our Operation Sabot
during last November’s election season. By being covert, you keep them
guessing on who is watching, and you don’t give them the optics they
need.
Let the leftists show their asses to the
cops all on their own with no visible excuse for their bad behavior.
Of course, if they are about to burn your town down you should step in
and stop them, just as we did in Ferguson in 2014 when armed Oath
Keepers police and military veterans stood watch on rooftops to stop
arsonists during the riots there. Arson is deadly force and we would
never suggest that you not take action to stop it in your town. But do
your best to coordinate with the police if you feel the need to take
such action, and even there, keep the focus on defense of lives, and let
the police handle the rest.
Ditto for some mass shooter incident tied
to one of these protests. By all means stop the killing if you are
present. See below.
Two Important Caviats:
Caviat #1: There is a risk of
lone wolf or small cell terrorism against police and high profile
conservatives on Nov. 4th or the days following it.
A direct example of this was what we witnessed last year in the terrorist attack on the police
in Dallas and Baton Rouge. In Dallas, the deadly attack by a cop
hating black veteran came during a Black Lives Matter protest, and in
Baton Rouge, the attacker was “triggered” by the protests surrounding a
police shooting there and drove across state lines specifically to kill
police in retaliation (it is even possible that the Baton Rouge shooter
was a second gunman in Dallas, surviving that attack to then conduct his
final attack in Baton Rouge). And there have been numerous other
targeted assassinations and attempted assassinations of police that have
happened in the past couple of years. Even though Black Lives Matter
is ostensibly non-violent, there are lone wolves or small cells of
hard-cores orbiting around it who are not. Black Lives Matter is
“non-violent” – until its not. The same is true of Refuse Fascism.
Orbiting around it are hardcore communist wanna-be Che Guevara’s who may
well take it upon themselves to kick off the revolution. This should
not be surprising since one of Refuse Fascism’s key founders is the
self-admitted and unrepentant communist terrorist Bill Ayers. He
serves as the perfect role model.
Die-hard
Communists Carl Dix and Cornel West using anger over police shootings of
Blacks to recruit more Americans into the Revolutionary Communist Party
Antifa is overtly violent and
proudly advocates violence, but has so far stopped short of using
firearms or explosives, and instead uses steel pipes, bike locks, and
knives to attack people. Their standard modus operandi is a gang
attack on an isolated individual.
However, we have seen more hardcore
communists joining Antifa because they see it as a vehicle for the
“revolution” since Antifa is willing to actually use force now, not just
in the future. Eventually some of them will indeed go kinetic and
will use guns or explosives to target some of us pesky hard target
conservatives who they can’t beat in a straight up street fight using
their non-kinetic weapons. Expect it. Frankly, any high profile
conservative street activist that is already on Antifa’s hate list, such
as Kyle Chapman (Based Stickman) or Joey Gibson, should expect to be
targeted and take appropriate measures to either get off the X by not
being where expected this weekend, or at least prepared to repel
boarders. There are many historic examples of terror cells conducting
armed attacks/assassinations on targets at home, at work, or in their
vehicle on a habitual route.
Patrol officers are also at risk because
they are in marked cars and in uniform and may end up being targets of
opportunity for yet another cop killer. The same risk can also apply to
conservatives who love their pro-Trump/pro-gun bumper stickers and tee
shirts. Your tee shirt is your uniform, when it comes to some nutbag
who wants to go out and kill conservatives in the street.
So, police and high profile conservatives
should be extra alert and aware this weekend and in the coming days
that they could be selected for a targeted assassination/terror attack
by a lone wolf or a small cell. And they should take precautions to
protect their homes and families. Oath Keepers has a standing offer,
as part of our Family Safe program, to protect any police or military
family and home that receives death threats or is otherwise at risk.
All they have to do is ask and our police and military veterans will be
happy to stand guard.
And even when there is no specific
targeted individual, it only takes one lone nut to do a mass shooting
like we recently saw in Las Vegas, or a small cell of hardcores to do a
Mumbai style armed group terror attack. With the reality of frequent
active shooter attacks in America, all of us should already be armed and
prepared as we go about our day to step in and stop an “active shooter”
terror attack. They happen, so it is a part of our duty as patriots
and “sheepdogs” to be ready, willing, and able to put an end to them.
The longer it takes to stop the killing, the more people will be killed,
so you have a duty to be the “first responder” if you are there. The
best course of action would be to work out, in advance, an identifier,
such as a certain color bandana, sash, or armband that local police know
you will be wearing as you respond to an active shooter incident that
will identify you as a “good guy.” The only ones who should know what
that indicator is and what color it is should be you, your group, and
the local cops to prevent bad guys from wearing it to confuse police.
But even if you have not worked such an
indicator out, you should respond. I will not go in depth on that
issue here, but I will in a followup piece. Suffice it to say that I
adamantly disagree with the viewpoint that your concealed carry firearm
should be used only to defend yourself and your family but not to stop
other Americans from being murdered, and that you should instead run
away and let responding officers handle it, despite the reality that
more will die because you did not engage. I find that both cowardly and
a dereliction of duty. Frankly, I believe every patriot should not
only carry an accurate and reliable semi-auto pistol, but should also
have a rifle or shotgun in their vehicle for the same reasons police
have them in their patrol cars – they are the better weapon for closing
with and killing armed terrorists when you have the opportunity to use
them. Yes, there are important do’s and don’ts when it comes to
grabbing a rifle or shotgun and going toward the sound of the guns,
since there will hopefully be responding officers doing the same. But
your duty is not erased by those considerations any more than the cop’s
duty is. They are the same. Take it seriously and prepare to do it
right.
Some things never change
Caveat Number Two: A risk that
frustrated hardcore communists will go full “Weather Underground” and
launch an ongoing terrorism campaign.
This is the more dangerous long term
risk. And there is a historic precedent that ties right in with Refuse
Fascism. Before Bill Ayers was a bomb setting terrorist, he was a
national leader in the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). The
SDS had hundreds of thousands of student members on college campuses
across the U.S. Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn (now his wife) and other
leaders of the SDS wanted to take it to the next level and spark a full
on revolution. So, they tried to recruit the members of the SDS and
other students on colleges and in High Schools to join them for a big
kick off of the revolution with their Days of Rage in Chicago. This
caused a split among the national leadership of SDS, with the less
violent prone refusing to go along with it. So, Ayers and Dorne, along
with their hardcore pals, took over the SDS headquarters and
essentially conducted their own coup within the org. Then they carried
out their Days of Rage attack on Chicago police. But only 200
hardcores showed up to street fight with the cops, instead of the
thousands they had expected. Turns out the vast majority of the
student members of the SDS were not yet ready to go full on communist
revolutionary. The small group of hardcores at the top had outpaced
their own members and their target audience. Their attempted launch of
the mass people’s revolution was a spectacular flop.
So, after they got out of jail, Ayers,
Dohrn, and the other hardcores at the top of what was left of the SDS
doubled down on stupid, went underground, became the Weather Underground
(Weathermen) and began a terrorist bombing campaign using three cells
(West Coast, Midwest, and East Coast). Their first targets were
police, and the rest is history.
I expect that when Refuse Fascism fails
to spark a popular color revolution that removes Trump, some of their
followers, and maybe even some of their leaders, will go full on Weather
Underground, just like their founder and patron saint communist
terrorist mentor Billy Ayers did. And that may in fact be his long
term goal. He lived the same trajectory, and he knows where it ends.
But whether or not that is his real intent that is what will likely
happen. The future Weathermen who will take it to the next level and
try to start the revolution with violence and death are likely somewhere
among all the Kool Aid drinking young useful idiots in Refuse Fascism
and Antifa that are being indoctrinated by Ayers and the other ancient
decrepit communists. And when they pop off, they will target not
just cops, but also Trump supporters and anyone they view as being
anywhere on the right (you libertarians will not get a pass!). Expect
it. Prepare for it.
Just like one lone nut “anarchist”
sparked what would become World War I, the actions of one or a few
wanna-be revolutionaries on the left could spark the next American Civil
War.
