When I first joined the military in 1988, Communists were considered the primary threat/enemy, specifically, the Union of Soviet Socialists Republic. To a lesser extent, the Communist Chinese were also a threat, but after Nixon “made friends”, they weren’t really considered an “Issue”…..right?
Fast forward to today, and we are now experiencing a Communist insurgency in our own country being waged by multiple entities. We understand that all of them, no matter the overt, publicly stated ideology, are striving towards the same ends. I grew up reading Soldier of Fortune magazine in the late 70’s and 80’s. One of the main topics of articles there was Communist Insurgency. More specifically, Communist insurgencies in places like Central and South America and Africa.
To make a long story short, many of the activities we are seeing and experiencing are following the playbook that, as a child, I watched play out in many of the aforementioned localities. We were told back then it was coming here. Well, IT’S HERE! Two examples would be Antifa and Black Lives Matter (BLM). They are Communist entities aimed at destroying our Nation’s traditions, history and ultimately our freedoms.

Anyone who believes BLM is an outgrowth of a racial equality movement has not done their due diligence. This concerns the stated intent of its leadership and those supporting that group. Let’s take convicted terrorist, Susan Rosenberg as an example. She is part of a non profit in the fundraising arm of BLM.
She was a member of the May 19th Communist Organization (an offshoot of the Weather Underground) which supported the Black Liberation Army, and was convicted of bombing, among other things, the US Capital Building and the US Naval War Collage. She did 16 years on a 58 year sentence, the majority of which was commuted by Bill Clinton on his last day in office.

The above is just one of the members for the “fundraising apparatus” for BLM. One of BLM’s Co-Founders, Patrisse Cullors, describes herself as “A trained Marxist”. That is all we need to know, to make some logical conclusions about what their end state goal is. This is what Marxists do. They attach themselves to causes which appear “Noble”, then encourage suppression of any person or entity that counters their argument by publicly “shaming” or accusing that opposition of being “haters”, racists”, sexists or any of the other applicable “ists” out there.
I’m not even going to mention why Antifa is an enemy of the American people and our way of life. If you do not know by now why they have been declared “Domestic Terrorists” by President Trump, you are living under a rock, or you are drowning in the “River of Denial”.

Antifa’s “finest”….
I wrote in late 2016 about the “Brief Reprieve” we’d been given by having Donald J Trump as our next President. That “reprieve” might shortly come to an end. I believe the next election, if it takes place, will be an event surrounded by an unprecedented level of violence. Considering some of the videos I’ve seen of late involving groups expressing their intent to commit violence towards White Citizens, or the taking and annexing of American soil for their new “Black Nation”, I don’t see how an event culminating with a fight along a number of fractured lines, doesn’t happen.
Although the though of that event taking place fills me with dread, I believe it has to take place before anything can even have a glimmer of hope to get better. One of the reasons I dread that taking place, is thinking about the safety of my family members. Although my oldest two Children are adults, my youngest Son is eight months old and unable to even try to defend himself. But alas, the line, “Wars are not just fought by childless men.” from the movie, “The Patriot” comes to mind. But here’s the deal, my priorities are God, Family, Country, and in that order. Even before my Country, my first priority and responsibility is towards protecting my Family.
Another reason for my dread is expressed in a quote from General Robert E Lee. “It is good that war is so terrible, lest we become too fond of it.”. Anyone who is an actual combat veteran understands what this means. Some of the best men I’ve ever known, fought along side of me. Some of the best (and funniest) experiences I’ve ever had, were with those men in some of the worst situations.
The last reason I will dread that situation taking place is that regardless of how it plays out, our United States of America will never be the same again, and will probably stay a fractured, balkanized conglomeration of States (if that) for the rest of existence. Is this bad? Maybe, maybe not.
From an overall International defensive status, it would probably be bad, depending on where you live. From a freedom to live as you would like, it would probably be better in many aspects, because some jackass 1,500 miles away isn’t making rules and regs for where you live and work.
If we don’t end up in a shooting war before President Trump’s 2020 election win (see what I did there) we probably will be as soon as that win is announced. I believe when groups like Antifa, BLM and NFAC (Not Fucking Around Coalition-No, I’m not kidding, they are that crass and full of ignorance) to name a few, blow their wad and open the “Pandoras Box” of their hatred of America and White people specifically, it will be “Weapons Free” for those who have been patient and tolerated their abuse. At that point, I believe they will get their asses handed to them.

At that point, I believe President Trump will have to make a choice. He will have to purge the Federal Government of the Communists and their supporters who have been undermining him his whole first term, while simultaneously rallying his base to physically fight off (good Ol’ Second Amendment territory) the threat that has manifest itself in our country. His other choice is to ignore what is going on and probably lose the Country if he exercises that level of ignorance.
I believe that, regardless, it will be a bloodbath not unlike those we’ve seen in “real time” across the world in places like Bosnia and Rwanda (a good friend saw this in person and his stories are just….DAMN!). Any person that want’s a “Black Nation” (or anything else based on skin color as the prerequisite for citizenship) is the antithesis to what this Nation was founded on and obviously has not done their historical “Due diligence”, regarding how that will obviously turn out.
No, you’re not gonna make a “Wakanda”, you realize that’s “fiction”, right? Don’t give me some BS about the Founders being a bunch of racists. You and your BS won’t even get published in the comment stream. “Reparations”? Kiss my ass. I can actually prove none of my ancestry ever had a slave (not that I need to), can you prove yours were slaves in this country?
These groups are using “Racism” as their stated purpose because that is a method historically used by Communists to tear down a nation internally. Tearing down statues and destroying that Nation’s history is another Communist tactic. Understand, in the end, Communists don’t give two Damns about your perceived racial equality or inequality or how you are treated. You and your “Cause” are just a means to an end for them.
Prepare yourself for what’s to come. I don’t believe it will be pleasant. Organize your friends, family and neighborhood to defend itself against events like we’ve seen acted out recently in placed like Minneapolis and Atlanta. Defense, First Aid, Shelter, Water and Food are your “Order of Priorities” list in these situations. If it starts at the time of the election, we’ll be fighting in the Winter. Are you prepared to fight in cold weather?
Make sure you are keeping a eye on who is supporting whom and who the sell outs and shills are. This will be important info when things start to pop. As an example I’ve seen recently, the last thing you want is to be associated with a so called “Constitutional” militia leader who has ties and affiliations with groups like “The John Brown Gun Club” (they roll with Antifa). Someone like that is a snake in your midst and will screw you when it’s convenient for his well being or bottom line.
It’s come to the time to choose a side. Today’s “Going along to get along” and “Tolerance” are tag-lines used by those who are cowards and and afraid to speak their mind about what is right and fair. We’ve all been guilty of it, but you can only take so much before you tell a blathering, idiot activist to go pound sand with his convenient “facts” all the while waiting for him to call you a “Racist” or one of the other “ists” we’re being accused of these days.

I have read this about 20 times over the past few days, and shared it more than that. Shame on us for letting it slip so far so fast. As Dylan Thomas said, “Do not go gentle into that good night. . . . Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”
Can’t argue with any of that.
Like many others to AP I have been experiencing this CAPTCHA crap. ID the umbrellas and bicycles….yep, at least 6-7 times. Just recycles into another umbrella or bicycle ID requirement.
FWIW….my SPECTRUM Wi-Fi is having issues. Thirty days ago I could connect anywhere within 25 yards of my router. Now, I have to be within 25 FEET to guarantee connection. This problem happening is with SPECTRUM using 5G now ! Is this another clandestine attack by the communists ensconced into every aspect of American lives ?
There is no way of voting ourselves out of this internal attack by domestic communists !

I read the frustration in your written word on the captcha challenge. Trust me the moderators and the IT guy (me) does not like it either. We have had DDoS attacks before and since last Wednesday when another massive DDos attack hit Apple, Testla, etc., Cloudflare our firewall company, was hit pretty bad and are working through making the fix. Consequently, we all have to stay calm and be patient for things to get back to normal. Not an excuse just a fact.
On your wifi issue…Is there specific times that your wifi signal is being throttled down? Mine gets throttled down every Monday in the morning. I too have to be close to my router to get a signal. The rest of the week is fine. My provider has not been able to explain it. On another note, not trying to bum you out – SPECTRUM sucks. In a previous life I had to deal with them when we opened up a store in their areas. Their customer service was poor and it seemed that our bandwidth was throttled back often. When I would complain they would just shrug their shoulders.
Many of my friends are switching to satellite based interwiz because of their providers and for the most part are happier with their consistent bandwidth.

The new logon to this site ie all pictures that have an umbrella is bullshit.
. One of my favorite sites for sure but playing games to get there is a big downer
We’re currently under a major DDOS attack. It’s a temporary measure to keep the site up.
Took all afternoon to figure out since the captcha kept recycling and didn’t work, disabled privacy possum add on and so far goes through. A real pain. This morning no problem and the cloudfare blocking started this afternoon.
We’ve been getting some serious DDOS issues. Its being dealt with. But thanks for the heads up!
RW and all,
Yeah, we have been experiencing some DDO attacks and I spent most of yesterday working under the hood of AP. As of 0600-hrs today, I felt confident enough to turn off the fire wall safeguards.
One thing that NC Scout keeps saying to the folks working at AP, “you only bomb important targets”. Thanks to all the support you, the subscribers and readers of AP, we are now an important enough target to drop virtual ordinance on.
Thank you for your patience.
73 & God Bless
Great article, I agree 100% but I just had to do a Captcha just to get on this site. Is it some new thing that you guys are doing or? It’s never happened before, not for this site or any other. My phone is doing some weird stuff lately. Just wondering about the Captcha thing.
Keeping in mind that the first casualty of any engagement is the plan, does that not also apply to the act of ”choosing a side?” Like many people I always felt an affinity for Law Enforcement and considered them to be “my side”. The gut wretching, disorienting sight of the police and National Guardsmen taking a knee before the enemy, of arresting people for merely defending themselves, of abandoning entire precincts has left me bereft of a “side.”
Just thought I’d put that frog in the mill for you. Choosing a side may not necessarily be a one time, permanent event.
I’m researching and working on what a lone operator can accomplish.
It is well past choosing sides. The time for action is fast approaching.
This is a great article. Weighty, poignant, goes to the Heart….
We can only pray that President Trump has the courage to make the call when the time comes.
The reprieve may be over but see at least one more relaxing fire with a beer and hand rolled smoke before it all ends(hopefully!).
A good though troubling summary of the cliff on which this republic stands today. I truly hope it doesn’t play out like this, but I worry that it will.
You have your priorities exactly in order…God keep and watch over you and yours, and thank you for your service to the country.
