Thoughts on a new Revolution

I've heard from friends who travel the country in trucks that it seems everyone can feel a revolution in the air. As they go from state to state they hear the same talk of revolution from people they would not expect to hear it from. These fine folks they talk to do not belong to the local militia, they do not listen to militia radio or visit militia websites. They do not identify with the patriot movement, they don't know what patriot radio is or what a patriot website is.

These fine folks espousing the sentiment that there is going to be a revolution are salt of the earth, dirt under their fingernails, blue collar, average Americans. These are the people who don't know that they are militia, as are we all, but these folks will answer the call when it comes.

Unfortunately it is these fine people, who lacking training, will suffer the highest casualties as they bravely answer the call. It is to these people that I write now.

Know my fellow patriot that your heart is brave and that we vastly outnumber the foe. Know also that due to our numbers we have superior strength and that from our strength, bravery and commitment will come victory.

It is my fervent wish that we achieve victory with the least number of casualties possible. It is with that goal in mind that I pen these words.

Over 200 years ago the Founding Fathers also rose up against a tyrannical government and threw off the chains that bound them. In doing so average men used the skills they had to conduct war on their terms. Since they had great skill in hunting, shooting and moving lightly they used this to their advantage whenever possible. We can learn from their example, and examples since in how to conduct ourselves in the coming revolution.

In the First American Revolution the Founders used the tactic of ambush and move. They would specifically target British officers, a tactic that was against the rules of war as the British knew them.

We will use those very same tactics. We will strike from a position of concealment at a place and time of our choosing. We will target officers, NCOs, and other targets that present themselves. We will shoot once and then fade away to strike at another place and time of our choosing. This does not mean that we will not see pitched battles, but it does mean that the average person will take what targets present themselves, fire one shot, and escape undetected.

Constant sniping and harassment of this type can very quickly demoralize an opponent. It also helps us in our goal to win at the least cost possible. If every person was to make one good shot and no more we would win.

One single shot from 300+ yards is very hard to detect. A general area may be identified, but the chances of 100% accurate identification is virtually impossible. The sniper is the most feared man on the battle field. We will become a nation of snipers taking only one shot at a time.

Many of you are going to go about your daily lives in as normal a manner possible. All the while you will be watching for the best time to make your one shot count.

Some will actively campaign, but they can not be everywhere at once. This is where the average person comes in. Passing along information and aid they will help to make sure that those who are actively campaigning will have the most effectiveness. As these average people are seemingly going about their normal lives they will watch for the opportunities that present themselves and they will act in the appropriate manner.

The appropriate manner will differ for each person. In some cases it will be actively campaigning, in others it will be that single well placed shot. For some it will be putting aside a bit of food, clothes, boots, ammunition, medical or some of the many other supplies needed to help those in the field day in and day out. Some people will pass along information, some will provide a warm meal, a dry place to sleep, medical attention or help in some other manner as needed.

Despite their desire, there are many people who will not be able to be in the field for one reason or another. Age, physical limitations or any number of other reason will keep some people tied to the area they live in or otherwise unable to take to the field. Some will be in a unique situation where they are more valuable remaining where they are than they would be in the field. There are many other roles that will be needed if we are to prevail. There is a role for every person according to their means and their ability. Find the right role for yourself and do your part.

A trusted police officer may be in the position to pass along important information. A member of the military may be in the same role. A mechanic can sabotage equipment he or she works on, ensuring that it will fail at a critical time. A cook could taint food before an important battle, a farmer could do the same with the produce. A doctor or nurse could provide information on casualties suffered by the foe, they could pass along medical supplies or provide medical attention as needed. An average mother who houses one or two troops could do any number of things from sabotaging equipment to passing along information.

Often it is the smallest of things that bring down an army. Lack of food, bad food, bad water, disease, inability to move, lack of sleep and many others degrade the performance of an army and demoralize them.

Random gun shots at night will disrupt the sleep. We all know what happens after a few nights of limited sleep. If doing this never use the same time, always pick a random time. You can have two or three people in different spots shoot at exactly the same time, this will create confusion as to where the shot came from.

If the enemy is sourcing their food locally you can use the opportunity to slip in some bad food. An army that is trotting to the latrines every 30 minutes is ineffective in the field and will require a great deal of supplies and man power to take care the incapacitated troops.

These are just a few ideas that can be used to ensure minimum casualties. Remember your goal is to be undetected and unharmed. Smile as you are planning your action and let the enemy think that you are on their side or at least neutral.

Pick your place, your time and make your shot or action count. Then go home knowing that if you do no more then you have done your part!
