Thoughts on the Boogaloo

Since AP has been posting articles on the evolution of the American Maoists’ tactics over time, I’d like to share some of my own thoughts on what Boogaloo will be like.

Thought #1: The Battle for Suburbia

This will probably be something of a surprise at first, but it’s not so illogical in retrospect: boogaloo will be a suburban phenomenon for the short- to mid-game (the late-game will be in the cities if the forces of light win, and in the rural areas if the forces of darkness win). America is not dominated by urban or rural areas, but by its suburbs, and has been so since the late 1940s. The suburbs are unique because they have many of the connectivity benefits associated with towns and urbanism, but are spread apart and harder to centrally control. This is why the left desperately wants them eliminated: like the jungle, they’re neutral terrain, and that means any attempt by the left to fight there requires that they win without the deck stacked in their favor. The left’s ranks, like those of the KKK during both Civil Rights Eras, are filled with men who are only brave when they can’t lose.

Fighting in the suburbs will not be fun. There are few bulletproof or fireproof structures, plenty of space for the enemy to maneuver, and defending forces will constantly be understrength. Yet, there are also many advantages: freedom for the enemy to maneuver is freedom for the forces of light to maneuver, and the former don’t have any more bulletproof protection than the latter. Defense in depth is possible, crossfires/defilade are easy to achieve between houses, and sniper hides are plentiful. Bicycles will be extremely valuable in this environment as they are quiet, speedy, can carry baggage, and are able to traverse ground that automobiles cannot. Thus, even the most fanatical porch sniper should possess a bicycle and ride it often to avoid obesity. Another benefit of the suburbs is their space for gardening. If the supply chain collapses, suburban yards can readily be converted into permaculture gardens, which will provide sufficient sustenance on a shoestring budget. It won’t be perfect or convenient, but it will prevent starvation or malnourishment. Fences and chicken wire will be indispensable for preserving this system from animals, while also providing the benefit of inhibiting attackers’ free movement

Every river depicted here is ultimately controlled by the owner of New Orleans

On the flip side, the notion that boogaloo will take place in the wilderness is less plausible. The left isn’t afraid of people in the hills because they can be safely ignored. Scattered bands of men hiding in the hills with no plan aren’t an existential threat, and the lack of resources and infrastructure will mean many will starve or freeze to death before striking any meaningful blows. The Maoists can afford to wage scorched-earth tactics on any poverty-stricken rural regions they find uncomfortably close, and can counter infiltration with wire and blockhouses since the hill men possess no artillery. Nor are the hills indispensable to controlling most of the nation: the left controls the coastal ports and can thus utilize rivers for transportation instead of roads, forcibly urbanizing small towns along these secure routes or abandoning them to starve. Considering that the Mississippi River dominates the continent, the Rockies/Appalachians now appear sandwiched, rather than the coastal regions

Thought #2: Police and Military Resources

So if boogaloo is taking place in backyards rather than backwoods, then that changes the equation dramatically. Now, instead of fleeing the golden horde, the overarching strategy is to turn the suburbs into the Teutoburg Forest: let the Maoists enter, ensure they don’t leave alive. Sharpshooter-spotter buddy pairs are the backbone of such a strategy, but these must be combined with good intelligence. As such, many patriots will necessarily join a larger organization like the Oathkeepers at the national or state level. This winnowing will separate the liabilities from the worthies: refusal to submit to a hierarchy will demonstrate that one cannot be relied on in a life-or-death situation.

As locales defund their police forces, former officers can supply a source of recruits for political pushback, and attempts should be made to encourage remaining officers to mutiny if they are given unlawful orders. Remember: from the officer’s perspective, if he refuses to follow an unlawful order today he’ll simply be arrested and someone else will do it in his place. In a mutiny, the officer now has a way to eliminate the source of his unlawful orders and their ability to ruin his life for doing the right thing. Right-wingers should also look into joining reservists (both police and military) to get formal training. Without formal training, any attempts at using force will be a massive gamble. With formal training, however, right-wingers can supplement their existing level of training and get paid to do it.

Thought #3: Offensive vs Defensive Shooting

At the tactical level, the first step is to counter the swarm tactics currently being employed. Once these are defeated, the Maoists will likely shift to a strategy of assassinations and raids, and step 2 will be to defeat these, along with any sympathetic county/state governments. It is in this first stage that we will talk about the difference between offensive and defensive shooting.

Kyle Rittenhouse is a perfect example of defensive shooting. He was trying to leave the area, waited until he was attacked, and stopped shooting the instant his attackers stopped attacking. This is appropriate for many circumstances, and has the advantage of retaining the moral high ground as far as the courts are concerned. Since Americans overall are highly neutralist by temperament and attitude, the principle of non-aggression is easier to argue when shooting defensively. The main drawback, however, is that it allows the Maoist aggressor(s) to maintain the initiative. Eventually, circumstances will arise in which ceding the initiative is the worst possible response.

Offensive shooting is much more violent and aggressive than its defensive counterpart. Jeff Cooper recounts a story in his book “Principles of Personal Defense” of a student who had very little situational awareness and was ambushed by 4 men with revolvers, but aggressively turned the tide by firing 22 shots in 20 seconds, scaring them off. An aggressive shooter in Kyle’s situation would have fired many more shots than he did, in quicker succession, and tactically counterattacked even as he made a strategic withdrawal. After shooting pedo-man in the genitals and Glock-man in the arm, an aggressive shooter would have continued shooting: he likely would have followed up his arm shot with a headshot, killing the third Maoist, and he would have continued shooting, likely targeting the cameramen if no one else charged at him. Since mobs’ reaction to gunfire nowadays is to pull out their cameras rather than flee, the camera-wielding Maoists would be considered fair game. A traitor with a camera is still a traitor, and their pseudo-defiant “standing their ground” inspires those around them; thus, they are contributors to the mob’s psyche, even if passively. A sudden, violent spray of bullets at such close range is loud and frightening, and when the camera-wielders realize that they are being deliberately targeted by men shooting to kill, they will feel this same fear and run. In other circumstances, the fat feminists providing human shields to the soyboys throwing rocks and fireworks would be gunned down without hesitation, and the shooters’ only mental efforts would be to try hitting multiple bodies with one bullet. The only ones who will be deliberately spared by an aggressive shooter are those that run away. One of the biggest drawbacks of relying on numbers (as all evil forces do) is that crowds are prone to mass panics. The students at Kent State did not run when tear gas was fired at them, they ran away when the National Guard fired 69 shots into the mass, killing only 4 students. Instead of charging the National Guard, the students fled. A mass casualty event in a BLM/Antifa protest would send even bigger shockwaves, and all it takes is for one man to break and run: his fear with be infectious.

Thought #4: Aim for the Earbuds

During the revolutionary war, a common order given to riflemen acting as sharpshooters was “aim for the epaulettes.” The epaulettes, of course, were the mark of an NCO or officer, who played critical roles in ensuring fire discipline and unit cohesion. By deliberately targeting these men, the American rebels were able to take away the biggest advantages possessed by professional soldiers (i.e., being able to function smoothly under fire). In the 21st century, the Maoists do not wear epaulettes, but their thrall masters rely on radio communications to coordinate an otherwise uncontrolled mob. Their officers/NCOs will be recognizable by earbuds and other communication devices, as well as leadership-style actions such as pointing. Sharpshooters should therefore focus their fire onto these individuals once more immediate dangers are killed, because killing the thrall-masters will destroy the mob’s ability to move and act as a single unit. Actions will become piecemeal and confused. Moreover, when the cowards see their inspirational leaders killed in front of them, they will flee 9 times out of 10. Killing these men and women will also gut the Maoists’ core cadre, and the quality of replacements will decline over time.

On the operational level, offensive tactics to counter the Maoists would be to target their picket lines rather than the central mob. A typical riot has vehicles, guns, and radio operators acting as sentries for the main body, and can provide a handy cutoff force should their targets wander inside the perimeter. However, if these units can be spotted and wiped out from afar, then the Maoists lose their eyes and ears, as well as their backup. Picket duty will become a death sentence, and present a lose-lose situation: either sacrifice lives or protection. Even worse, these men and women on sentry duty will be picked from better-quality recruits, and the loss of these will ensure the Maoists’ best and brightest are killed first, before moving on to the disposable hordes. The Thebans defeated the Spartans using this very same principle at Leuctra.

Conclusion:

In short, boogaloo will be a suburban phenomenon, and the authors of “A Failure of Civility” were right to focus on it. Wilderness skills are not useless in a suburban environment (quite the opposite), but they are not the complete picture. Bicycles will be as important as rifles, and if we’re really lucky the police/military will mutiny rather than enforce illegal orders against us. Whether they do or don’t, as many patriots as possible should volunteer to join their local police/National Guard forces to get formal training.

    We’ll written. This should be unfolding soon. No doubt they will start early.
    My main concern is for places like the Greater Baltimore and D.C. area. We have had ZERO rioting to mention, with the exception of a few isolated incidents; Like Rand Paul and his wife’s ambush.

    • bilbo2016 September 21, 2020 at 15:20

      Hi Johnny..a while back you had a GREAT post on WRSA part 1 about coming civil war..and teh Spanish Civil War as possible model. I never saw Part 2 so IF it’s out could you post it where we can find it. Also agree with your comments on this article ..

      • Johnny Paratrooper September 21, 2020 at 16:57

        Hey Codename BILBO2016,

        I am glad you asked, I have written the general outline for “Part 2” and even have a great title; Which is, of course, the best part. Unfortunately, I had to wait the 3 years or so because these things take time to play out. If I recall correctly, the contested elections and resignation of Monarchy in Spain began around the year 1930 or 1931. Obviously, they were not in a full blown war until 1936.

        I could have written the article early, but it would not have had the effect it had when published because it would have been a lot of “What if” and “Maybe” peusdo-intellectual nonsense. There is plenty of that available everywhere but a select few sites.

        Obviously, you can look at the twitter feeds and comments sections on various right wingers and see that my article very clearly sparked some considerations among the more “well read” of the right wing. A few weeks ago, I was informed I am a central character in the documentary “Shadowgate 2” and filmed my portion last weekend. I am going to wait till after that is released, which should be any day now, before I release Part 2 of “Civil Wars and Woes: Home is Burning.” Plus, I assume I am going to be arrested after the release of that film and charged with something. I am not looking forward to this, but someone has to lay down on the wire.

        I have been very busy lately. I hope you have too. We have A LOT of work to do. This weekend I am manufacturing and testing several directional antenna with a friend. Assuming we can find the parts we need. We may be confirming zero on some weapons, or simply doing some land navigation and rucking together. If I am solo this weekend, I will start adding in the new information to part 2, and I will be digging fighting positions during breaks.

        The future of America is going to have a lot of running and screaming involved. I also want to dig a water well by hand. Which should be about 10 feet deep or so. That’s going to take a few days, but I should have it halfway done the first day if I don’t encounter any boulders. Best of luck to you in our uncertain future.

        Start the hard work now. Because you cannot give radio classes, pull guard, prep food, and dig wells and fighting positions all at once. That is easily a few weeks of work. And some of it can be dangerous work without the help of a hospital, nurse and emergency doctor.

      • Johnny Paratrooper September 21, 2020 at 17:06

        “And in preparation for our inevitable awakening and the reversal of current trends, the J-Com alliance has a backup plan. Plan “B” is to burn it all down. Like California or Baltimore.”

        ^From my article, Which apparently was written in 2019, not 2017… Lmao. This aged VERY well. Wanna guess how I knew their plan? I was part of a terrorist Op-For “think tank” exercise run by AWG and ATRG in 2011ish when I was just Johnny “E-4”. We, about 250 of us, determined that our country does not have enough fire fighting equipment, and thus, burning down everything would be the best tactic to use. The good old molotov cocktail and Bic lighter.

        We, as in no-one in my group, predicted the use of commercial grade fireworks. I was under the impression those were highly regulated and they only approved their construction, or sale, during New Year’s and the 4th and that BATFE could care less any other day of the week. I guess the Chinese snuck in a few shipping containers of those things. The ones they are using are the size of softballs in some cases. The legally available ones are about the size of a golf ball, but are still quite impressive.

    Yes! Suburbs are a sharpshooter’s playground. Tons of places for 50 to 500 yard shots. The other thing that makes them valuable territory – the interstates, large secondary roads, power lines, and railroads run through them to get into the cities.

    • Johnny Paratrooper September 20, 2020 at 15:40

      Well said Codename DRAM.
      And, as the son of a contractor, who has worked for some of the largest companies in the country, to include Trump himself(I even clapped like hell on his D.C. Job when he walked in after his announcement for candidacy) I can tell you that the addition of permeable and impermeable rooftops, landscaping, roads, highways, and asphalt has created easy access to freshwater. Granted, this water needs processing in a high quality filter with a Charcoal filter for taste and the removal of VOCs(Volatile Organic Compounds) Water is available every 500-1000 yards. You just gotta look for it, usually its right where the grass is the greenest or the weeds are the tallest. This is essentially a standard from the Atlantic to the west of the Mississippi by my own hiking, camping, and hunting experience. The only place that water is hard to find is near the coal mines(Which can be quite dangerous to access safely, And I would NOT drink that stuff) and in places like West Virginia. The micro terrain in West Virginia is nothing short of harsh, and treacherous. There is a reason the Big @#$%s of Bragg and the Virginia Bois have one of their selections in that area. It is absolutely, unbelievably brutal to navigate. Ask me how I know. (I failed out 4 times, whatever, lmao)

      The advent of Suburban Warfare is a place where the end result is anyone’s game. Unlike Urban warfare which absolutely requires genocidal levels of violence, or, the shelling of the entire area to even be effective. Our best defense lies in the fact that the Communists cannot lose the mandate of the people. Because those same people grow their food and work the farms. We however, will have no problem keeping the mandate of the people because we are not lying murderous psychopaths.

      Their only way to capture the Suburbs is to use the media, and accuse us of their atrocities when they eliminate bad comrades. But that won’t go as planned because no-one cares about the lying fake news media. Also, their favored methods of attack like Arson, tends of only take one or two structures with them. (Unlike the dry west which takes the whole mountain, or county)

      I am curious though, they seem VERY confident, and every new war brings new weapons and toys. I feel sorry for the poor bastards that encounter whatever they have waiting for us. Hopefully, this is just GWOT 2.0. That I can handle. If it goes full blown WW3, I’m probably gonna end up the hapless victim of some mystery weapon or wonder weapon. Which is unfortunate, but I will join the ranks of many great men who have fallen victim to such a situation. Frankly speaking, it’s and honor to be in their ranks. Soldiers are much more brave than society gives them credit for.

    The police will ride the fence until forced to choose sides.
    The only goals currently important to the Police:
    1. Going home alive.
    2. Making it to retirement and collecting a pension.

    What the Police desperately need to internalize is that the current state of affairs makes those two goals difficult.
    A BLM/Antifa/Maoist win will make those goals IMPOSSIBLE.

    To sway the Police off that fence, Team Patriot needs to offer security in return for security… “Hey officer, we know you hate those communist bastards that want you dead & cheer when your friends/co-workers are executed, point blank while sitting in a patrol car”. “In exchange for turning a blind eye to some of our guys taking out the trash, or providing some good intel on where these commie bastards are holed up at, we’ll make your job safer by eliminating your greatest threats”.

    Something to consider.

    Note to LEOs. We’re currently on your side. Don’t act in our worst interests. You want us to continue to Back the Blue, you need to start Backing Us. Together, we can bury these vermin and achieve a 100 year peace.

    • Johnny Paratrooper September 20, 2020 at 15:22

      Unfortunately, for a great many of the ‘Twice Divorced and Overweight” police, their plan is to “Retire, collect pension, and move to Florida so they can have all the tattooed 18 year old blonde pill popping prostitutes they want”

      If they pick the wrong team… It won’t be hard decision, if one is bound by the correct convictions, considering how often their kind (The Federal and Major Metropolitan Pedigree) seem to be a part of the problem, and directly finance what is essentially sex slavery in a collapsed civilization. Those women COULD have been the mothers of a proper christian home, but instead they are the victims of every swinging Richard with $250-$500 in their pocket. Money that I, regretfully, pay to the government every week or two.

      There is only one way to solve problems that stay solved. And that’s the Airborne Ranger solution. It works every single time.
      Just ask half of the Middle East… and significant portions of Latin America and Africa. And Europe.

      The damage that has been done to our society is just beginning to surface, and once people shift their thinking to my level, they will be bound by an entirely different set of motivations and convictions once their consensus has shifted. The establishment would still be in power if they had not robbed an entire generation of men of their best and brightest women OR taught them to actively hate those same men. Now they are in a position that requires them to answer to people like me. And as I mentioned above, the solution to the problem is the correct answer. As usual, and, everything else is just a delay disguised as diplomacy AKA the delaying of the inevitable.

      POST: I understand there are still pockets of Americana, and there exist plenty of great women in this society, but that doesn’t change the numbers. There simply aren’t enough, and this will manifest itself, as it always does throughout history. I also cannot afford to move from city to city looking for a women that is already spoken for. Like I said, it’s a numbers game, and 3rd-4th wave feminism has created a HUGE portion of lonely angry men who understand what has happened. Also, The churches in my areas are empty; I already tried that option, and currently, they are online only.

    • pixie September 21, 2020 at 02:39

      Look to brotherhood the FOP are really great guys and will do everything they can to protect the citizens and Trump has their approval. And didn’t the Feds deputize some of them?? Not long ago a Local FOP chapter demanded the Mayor of Louisville resign for his incompetence. They were the first in the country to make it public that the city officials were giving them stand down orders. (scroll the article for the video)

      https://www.lawofficer.com/louisville-metro-police-department-officers-call-on-mayor-to-resign/

      Seems they are trying to take over the city using health officials as the new UN police. Lots of little incremental moves are going on and the health department trucks are seen all over and they are going on calls with the police for “mental health”. They can even seize your home, office building in the name of health safety by condemning it when ever they want. I don’t know who these health people are but they have LOTS of power. Remember that Obummer put clauses in the health care that your doctor wants to know if there are guns in your home. Well thats a “list” they probably have access to and more. Just saying I trust them less than the police They have not succeeded in changing out the police of Louisville yet.

      I don’t know why they have not arrested that Mayor yet.. the city I grew up in is unrecognizable!

    • Dram September 22, 2020 at 11:45

      I have cops who live on my street, so I’ll add:

      3. Not have their houses burned down.
      4. Or their families attacked.

    • Joe the Lion September 22, 2020 at 17:37

      Gunny, you nailed it Brother. I keep thinking of the Nuremberg Trials, and the response “ I was just following orders” At this point in my thinking, 401ks…Gone. Social Security….Gone.

We had better be able to convince the Praetorians to join our cause, because if not, these fools will be the ones kicking in our doors, and raping our Daughters

    “Conclusion: In short, boogaloo will be a suburban phenomenon, and the authors of ‘A Failure of Civility’ were right to focus on it.”

    I’d like to mention that the primary author of AFOC, now out of print, has just released a newer and more comprehensive version called The Civil Defense Manual. It’s too big (900+ pages) to put inside one cover, so it’s in two volumes that are sold together as a set. It ain’t cheap, but it’s worth much more than its price. The CDM is not being sold on Amazon, but only through the author here:

    https://civildefensemanual.com/

    • Curious Passerby September 20, 2020 at 13:43

      It may be out of print, but you can find .pdfs online: https://lvassembly.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/a_failure_of_civility.pdf#page=2&zoom=auto,-171,387

      With all due respect to the author, I think the author writes off the heartland a bit quickly. All that empty space and flyover territory is still important. Even if you disregard the majority of our food production comes from these places, our highways, railways, and those rivers all pass through there, as well as fuel pipelines, gas pipelines, power lines, and for some places, water lines. You can’t do everything on the rivers, nor from airliners, so at least some of your infrastructure and supplies has to pass through someone else’s domain. And water-borne travel is not 100% safe, either. You are still passing through someone else’s territory. We’ve never been able to completely control our own territory reliably and I doubt an insurrection has any better chance. I suspect the bad guys will have a hell of a time trying to stop people from moving in and out of their area.

      Additionally, I don’t think suburbia is going to be a cornucopia of food production. In my experience, the average yard has awful soil (the productive top soil was scraped off to make it nice and flat) and is maintained only with constant applications of fertilizer and herbicide. (Horrifies me to consider what chemicals are in that soil.) Assuming the average suburbanite does have a yard (a lot of homes are on <1/4 acre lots), their gardening ability is probably severely taxed beyond grass and some flowers or bushes, if they garden at all. In the suburbs I've lived in, many folks pay illegal aliens to do their yard for them. I know from personal experience almost none of them have the ability to recognize a wild edible or useful plant. And you might have months to wait for a productive result (better be the right time of year or you're stuck). Since most people only have enough food for a couple days in their house, I suspect it will not be pretty in the suburbs. If they do have anything, the terrorists will probably be taking that.

      • mike September 21, 2020 at 10:01

        I agree. The countryside provides freedom of movement in a way the suburbs do not. In a limited conflict, there are cameras on nearly every business, residence, and street intersection. If the grid is still up and the police and courts are functioning, Everything you do will be subject to electronic analysis and any enemy allied security forces in the blue states/towns will be able to identify you and probably conduct a no knock raid on your domicile to kill or arrest you. Using your own vehicle is out of the question, and bicycles etc have limitations too since they limit what you can take without appearing to the casual observer to be a guy loaded with gear on a bicycle. After a few attacks utilizing such infiltration transport, people will be suspicious immediately of anyone on a bike carrying any kind of load. Taking the roads to the target area by bicycles will also subject you to all of those doorbell and intersection cameras. If you are wearing a ski mask and/or riding at night makes you a suspicious person as well. The bicycle is also difficult transport to disengage with as it is bulky and cumbersome in difficult terrain. You may be faced with abandoning it under fire and it probably has your fingerprints all over it. They may already be at your house waiting by the time you make the 2 day walk back through non-friendly terrain. It is not impossible for a small team bearing tactical gear to avoid electronic sensors by moving on foot at night through stream corridors, cemeteries, small woodlots, and powerline corridors to attack important targets, but the distance must be reasonable and the intelligence work must have been completed beforehand. It is much easier for a country mouse to move cross lots in any direction and strike prominent targets in the countryside, small villages and towns, and even the outer suburbs with much less risk on the movement to contact. Some rural townships have no standing police force and the county sheriff or the state police must be called in emergencies. They can be avoided of dealt with as the situation requires quite easily by the rural partisan. Rural areas have few if any security cameras with the exception perhaps of game cameras on driveways and in the woods. These are generally not feeding the state fusion centers, but it makes sense to remain masked while on duty even at night in the woods. If the situation degenerates to the point where law enforcement and the courts are not operating and the power grid and cell systems are down, then the suburban partisan will have more freedom of action to engage the enemy. Unless or until that point is reached, the suburban partisan trying to operate in a blue sector will be at an extreme disadvantage and will be required to exercise exceptional professionalism and have a lot of luck if they expect to last very long. I agree that winning in the suburbs will be crucial to eventual victory, I just see a slow drip low intensity conflict in the early stages as unlikely to produce positive results. The enemy may be inclined to help us out in this respect if they continue to import non locals to commit random arson, attack local infrastructure, harass security forces, and otherwise generally alienate the general population. People can change ideological sides very quickly when it is your house, your business, and your grandmother being burned, looted, and murdered. A large mob army of the enemy migrating to the suburbs to destroy could be the strategic mistake that determines the eventual outcome.

        Ought,guess the best you can do is read it all yourself and lead by example and hope they follow.I have found that once people(including me)jump the mental hurdle that things can go very wrong(Waco my wake up call)they then start to prep both good and mentally and start to work on “What if”situations.

        I have been very frustrated getting some folks on board,that said,have had some and at times a lot of success with some folks,and,have met a lot of folks that have gotten me to think more/help a bit to get my act together.

        Best of luck,the more folks ready the better the whole country will be,and,if things mellow out and country is more peaceful,well……,would be very happy about that!

      It’s worth every penny. The “dental” section had me worried, but then ended with “You can just use regular construction hand tools”. I was like “O Cool… I can rip my own teeth out with my Kobalts and Kleins”. LMAO.

      I’m curious what N.C. Scout, and others, contributed to the book. I would assume it’s about communications. Don’t spoil it for me. I like that the authors included lots of room for notes and various lists. Although I won’t be marking my copy.

    • Curious Passerby September 21, 2020 at 00:42

      For what it is worth, you can find it in .pdf online. Lower Valley Assembly has it at: https://lvassembly.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/a_failure_of_civility.pdf#page=2&zoom=auto,-171,387

      With all due respect to the author, I feel like he writes off the “flyover states” and the heartland far too readily. I understand the population centers are the center of gravity, but I think you ignore the heartland at your peril. For one, that’s where all the food generally comes from. And it’s largely red stater patriot communities. And through these regions full of poor, white trash, rednecks, hicks, hillbillies, and other non-entities who are clinging to their guns and bibles, travel the highways, railways, gas, oil, and water pipelines, powerlines, communications lines, microwave relay towers, cell towers, rivers, canals, dams, locks, bridges, etc.

      Liberals might own the port cities and coastal regions, but how many of these areas are actually self-sufficient? Can they exist without power, water, and food supplied from other areas? Many of the workers in these wonderful places can’t even afford to live in them and must commute from further out in the hinterland. If patriots outside these urban areas can cut off the flow of goods and services and workers from the outside, what will these cities look like?

      Even if the communists manage to seize various suburban areas, they’re not going to have trouble maintaining any control if there’s no food or power arriving from outside. Even in the best of times, the US Govt doesn’t have full control of our nation’s borders and internal regions. Those mountain regions mentioned above have always been trouble and they’re not safe for outsiders who don’t know the area. You can get shot pretty fast in the mountains if you so much as step off the road onto the wrong property. The waterways mentioned above still have to travel through areas the reds probably won’t control. I can’t imagine how much theoretical manpower it would suck up to keep only the most vital choke points under control. I don’t think you could fully replace the nation’s highways and railways entirely with river traffic and, to be fair, air traffic.

      Mr. Bracken, I bet you’ve transited the ICW, so you an imagine how many places along America’s internal waterways have low-level swing and draw bridges crossing them. I imagine it would be easy for interested parties to halt water traffic if they wanted. Not to mention how many narrow and poorly-dredged channels there are that could be blocked. In a wartime environment, I assume our routine Army Corps of Engineers and USCG maintenance would probably slip, and our waterways would probably become even trickier than they area now without the threat of violence.

      Also, I’ve lived in the suburbs and I would not bet on the average suburbanite being able to feed themselves from their own yard. In the DC area, for instance, many yards are sub-1/4 acre size. HOAs often don’t permit food gardens, so the residents are not prepared to raise one. That’s assuming they have a green thumb to start with-Many home owners rely on yard services. If my experience is any indicator, the best top soil was scraped away when productive farmland was razed for subdivisions and the remaining ground requires constant applications of fertilizer and herbicide to keep those sterile yards green. (Some services even dye the grass green!) These people generally don’t have much food on hand and will be hard-pressed to suddenly turn those tiny yards into productive gardens, which takes experience and, in many cases, weeks or months to be successful, assuming the season is right. Right now we’re headed into fall and winter. Not looking good for the immediate future.

      Years ago, curiosity about the things that grew in my yard led me to start learning about wild edibles. Most of my neighbors had no clue about the wild plants growing around them. My neighborhood jogging trail was a mass of free food, if you knew what you were looking at. Mulberries, black and red raspberries, blackberries, sumac, mustard greens, old pear trees gone wild, dandelions, sassafras, wild carrot, lamb’s quarters, etc. Junior and I picked entire salads just walking along and containers full of berries. The average resident had no idea.

      I assume whatever you do manage to grow will be at the mercy of anyone who happens to notice it. Any produce you succeed in raising is likely to walk away at night or when you’re not around.

      To venture farther down this track, I have to assume any contested area will be hard-pressed to feed itself. If you are in an area infested with reds, any food supplies you do manage to find, raise, or “acquire” are likely to be confiscated by your new “liberators.” Actually, I would also expect any free forces to also take your food. The thank yous you receive either on behalf of The People or The Patriots probably won’t tide you over til’ your garden becomes productive sometime in a few months.

      In fact, if they push this into a real stand-up fight starting now, expect a lot of miserable starving deprived people in the contested areas all the way through Spring and into Summer and for the foreseeable future. Long Pork, anyone?

      I expect the assassinations, bombings, terror arson, etc will be an ongoing thing all over the place in parallel to this, especially now Trump has shown he can halt the protests with federalized cops.

    Convincing argument. Thanks for the related embedded videos. The mountain bike is one of the most versatile forms of transportation…from wilderness to urban terrain, there are few forms of transportation that you can toss over a wall or carry over obstacles.

    Mr. James,

    Quite the informative and interesting essay. Many good points to ponder.

  12. Badger September 20, 2020 at 12:35

    Some fine thoughts put to paper, stuff worth thinking about. Folks need to wrap their heads around the ABRs actually having & employing developed tactical formations, with a leadership heirarchy. Shoot the nervous system, and take out its logistical support. An example would be that out-of-state van that pretends to be equivalent of “protesters'” meals on wheels but is parked 1.5 miles away and filling containers with gasoline. Take it out; that not only removes its primary tactical use, but also removes a secondary RP for the ABRs. Now they have to run.

    If one lives in the area depicted in arterial map of The River above, know that it’s not as simple as in 1860’s times. Familiarize yourself with locations of your Corps of Engineers’ Lock & Dam system, and the proximal non-interstate highways associated.

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this & taking time to render the article.

  13. Canuckistani September 20, 2020 at 13:31

    Something else to keep in mind about the burbs is they are often filled with rootless and disconnected people. The enemy may live next door, in the person of a grievance studies grad living in their parent’s basement. Parents who firmly believe their child is a “good kid,” though they disappear to riot every night in the city. When making plans with your neighbours, who you may barely know, you’ll need to root out these sorts of risks before you get stabbed in the back, perhaps literally.

  14. Badger September 20, 2020 at 16:33

    A well-done and well-received essay. A previous comment left this morning (before there were any) didn’t seem to make it. So I’ll just now join others & say thanks for the author taking the time to put those words to paper as it were. A reminder, especially for surburnanites: The enemy under discussion has actual tactical formations for their antics that they use and have demonstrated to be effective. Taking out their out-of-state-plated support vehicles parked 1.5 miles away and taking out their C2 (see “ear buds” above) is important. Thus, your ability to surveil and know your AO and gather intel is important. Much of the front line placard holders are local direction-less Eloi from campuses, Craigslist, or other sources with a light mix of regular cadre. The C2 is found behind. Neutralize as opportunities unfold.

    Great movie about Denmark’s bicycle infantry fighting against the Wehrmacht in the Spring of 1940

      Bicycles have got to be one of the mist underated pieces of equipment out there.
      In addition to what others may have said bicycles are expected to be equipped with rear view mirrors thus dramatically increasing one’s surveillance abilities.

      If you’re on Facebook check out the Bicycle Trailer group. Adding a trailer to a bike greatly increases the amount of stuff one person can haul.

  16. ColdSteel1983 September 20, 2020 at 18:48

    Good piece of writing. I also agree with JM in his assessment that the suburbs have the potential of not likelihood of being central to the upcoming festivities. As has been discussed, the traditionalists are basically rule followers that are having to be pushed into physical conflict. Most live in the ‘burbs, so once the threshold level events happen, that’s where there will be a great deal of the conflict.

    I need to look into The Civil Defense Manual(s) as I’ve seen it praised elsewhere as well as on and by folks on AP.

    2020 has been a year that’s almost beyond belief. Now throw in the drama that is/will surround the RBG replacement. This in itself would have been the main event for many years. Now, it’s kind of icing on the cake for 2020. And, there’s 31/2 months left!

  17. Bull Sluice September 20, 2020 at 20:14

    Excellent article. A few thoughts:

    1) The importance of a bicycle cannot be overstated. Get a mountain bike and put if through a complete overhaul. Then get a can of flat black spray paint and cover every square millimeter. Bikes are full or reflectors and chrome…features which are undesirable

    2) I do NOT agree with the statement, “refusal to submit to a hierarchy will demonstrate that one cannot be relied on in a life-or-death situation.” Depending on where you live, there may not be any obvious hierarchy. If you wait for somebody’s instructions, you may get killed. Better yet, harden yourself for the work that must be done and have a plan for it.

    3) Offensive shooting is the only option you have. Defensive shooting means the enemy is already too close. Unless you have overwhelming power and anonymity (which you won’t have), then you need to plan on being offensive. This means being a sniper.

    4) Scout out the area around you house and neighborhood now. Become familiar with all the side lots, alleyways, pass-throughs, and pastures. Put your brain in the mindset of being a sniper NOW. Choose your shooting positions and escape routes. Consider erecting some simple and discreet barriers in front of your possible shooting positions.

    God Bless America.

    A key takeaway from this is, barricade that house made of 2×4 and drywall. Wholesale sand bags filled with the dirt that you dig up while making your back yard farm. A few 80lb bags of concrete for the doors to stop them from being pushed in. Fire extinguishers anyone?

    • Curious Passerby September 21, 2020 at 00:52

      Excellent point, Sir. Everyone should be willing to spend the cash on a few fire extinguishers around the house, including your bedroom, and one specifically for kitchen fires by the stove.
      And talk it out with your family now how you’ll deal with a fire. Figuring it out during the fire is not good.

  20. Michael September 21, 2020 at 08:27

    Take a good look at the Main picture in the article (not the red white and blue breasts) FLAMES coming from a Concrete Block Building.

    When you become the Defenders and Leadership of a suburb folks WILL expect and demand some things from you.

    Some 90% of suburbia has stick built homes that burn VERY WELL. Without prompt Fire Department efforts whole blocks will be aflame. Say Goodbye to many preps AND SHELTER for your people. You can expect Loss of support of the burned out because SOMEHOW the Media (OR the local Karen’s) will make it YOUR FAULT. Even if they know it’s propaganda you still lost irreplaceable shelter and supplies. Bullets go both ways and NOTHING in a typical American Suburban Home will stop them. Now your Leadership will be looked upon to provide medical support and deal with the grieving and slowly dying.

    Medical issues most Gun-bunnies forget 10-26 % of Americans have diabetes. The retired having the highest %. And some 43% of Americans take daily Mood Altering Drugs. Yes, a fair number of your fellow gun slinging warriors are holding their shit together in the “Relatively PEACEFUL” times with drugs. So when the drugs that keep people alive and sane are gone THAT will become a Ongoing issue.

    Growing food in the Suburbs? REALLY?? No Gardener was invited to the proof reading here. The massive anti-dandelion crusade has created a massive wasteland of Roundup contaminated poor soil lawns. Short version of survival gardening START where dandelions flourish as they were IMPORTED from Europe as a Early Spring Pot Herb. Spring was known in pre-modern farming era as the Starving Season as the poor mouse and bug eaten bits of food from the root cellar and such were slim pickings.

    Aside from the critical issues of decent soil, Plenty of water, MAYBE SEEDS? Oh yes TIME from planting to harvest. Even lousy radishes take 60 days before you get much to eat. Potatoes some 120+ days to get even small baby potatoes.

    As the self proclaimed Defenders and Leadership of these often unwilling, scared, angry suburban peoples they will be looking at you when the POWER goes out, the Sewers back up and the drinking water gives them dysentery because of lack of Field Sanitation training and dufus galore shat OR washed his-her ass in their local water source..

    There is a reason that successful guerillas either hid their families (and support elements) in the woods or at least never started a fight in their own villages.

    NEVER Fight from your front porch. NEVER stand in front of an Enraged Elephant (or mob or SWAT Team or)

    Once the fighting starts TRUCKERS will STOP Delivering. No deliveries no Water Purification chemicals , No Water or BAD Water is a death sentence in a few days. No Food deliveries.

    EMS will STOP. Once a few brave EMS and Firemen get killed by the street thugs (and SOMEHOW Blamed on Patriots i False Flag Ops) fires will burn uncontrolled.

    The grid will fail, same story as EMS once brave Linemen are murdered doing their jobs they will STOP trying to keep the power on.

    Best case of a hot civil war is the current population of the USA of some 330 Million will FALL to the pre-electricity 1890’s of 62 million where the hard work of family gardens and small farming can support that population IF Roundup contamination didn’t destroy most of the “Lawns” in America.

    I expect 90% die off in 6-12 months due to lack of basic sanitation knowledge as folks were defecating in their apartment hallways during Hurricane Sandy just days after the flooding shut down the sewers. Only the whole nations efforts to clean up NYC and NJ kept that from becoming a 3rd world cesspool literally. Let alone the skills and supplies for successful gardening, finding and treating water, shelter from winter when fires burn wildly. Look at the recent wild fires (I suspect some set BY Antifa) and the destruction WITH a Working Fire Defense system and air drops firefighting…

    The truth is the Destroyers have the EASY JOB. It takes thousands of man hours to build a small home between the lumberjacks-sawmills and so on. It only takes one Street Thug with a Molotov to destroy it in a moment. It takes man power to provide 24 hour a day 7 days a week 365 degree security to WHAT 200 meters out? One Sneaky Meth head sliding in while a diversionary attack OVER THERE to destroy several homes with Molotov’s or a flare gun.

    There are tactics to defang the Socialist-Democrats protected Street Army. OPSEC first. Sun Tzu has plenty of instruction.

    “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

    How many of us know our own weaknesses? Like the mood altering drugs or lack of field sanitation knowledge? Bragging about that 6.5 Creedmoor and milk jugs at 300 meters is easy. Field craft and intelligence on the enemy’s movements and SOP’s to get in the right spot to USE that milk jug ability… Otherwise your just sniping at random civilians like the terrorists in the Bosnian Civil War-Ethnic Cleansing.

    Antifa and Burn Loot Murder is a violent bunch so USE that against them.

    “If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected .”

    If you can defeat the surveillance systems of the Deep State-Socialist-Democrats you can attack them where they sleep and FORCE them to waste manpower providing guards EVERYWHERE 24-07. A hit and run they lose a days sleep. A few of them in a row and they lose capability to function.

    They use lasers and drones, what about us?

    They use false flags, why not have “BLM” attack a Antifa encampment?

    “Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment — that which they cannot anticipate.”

    Give them an attractive honey pot then defeat them in detail. But as Sun Tzu also says

    “When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.”

    We must let them flee as it demoralizes the rest and preserves our fighters.

    Plenty more in Sun Tzu AND we need to memorize the “Rules for Radicals” sidebar in the Woodpiles left hand section. Know how they think as Sun Tzu says.

    • Curious Passerby September 21, 2020 at 11:55

      Agreed, Sir. Well written. I think too many people assume gardening is easy. Just scratch the soil, throw some seeds at it, and it grows food in a few days. In the South, maybe. I’ve had amazing results gardening in some areas where there was some topsoil between me and that omnipresent red clay. I’ve also had bugs and rabbits tear my work apart. Trial and error can be a harsh teacher, especially if you don’t know what you’re doing. Coddling moths will teach you how to grow apples. Grass hoppers or aphids or caterpillars will help you with your cabbages and other veggies. Grubs and beetles will be happy to help with potatoes.

      The crazy pills aspect is awful. Did you read 1 Second After? That is a frightening book. What you wrote reminds me of the doctor’s sober description early on about what the EMP survivors faced.

      Also agree on Sun Tzu. It’s obvious under the current conditions you can’t afford to be observed resisting the communist terrorists and you can’t afford to wait for them to be on your porch. There is no success in standing up to them toe-to-toe. Better to engage them on your terms, not theirs.

      I think Tim Pool commented the feds came up with a new response in Portland a few days ago where they laid down a massive smoke screen on the terrorists, then hit them from both sides with federalized cops and scooped up tons of them. They didn’t expect that and were easy pickings. Apparently, those screaming, bomb-throwing tough guys are as nice as kittens once they’re in cuffs.

      I think it’s vital to have a plan to deal with waste once the system stops. For instance, having a plan for handling your sewage if the lights are out is important before they go out. You might be able to flush the toilets for a while, but there’s no guaranty how long that will last before the pipes back up. You better have a plan for what you’ll do if the pipes are down, i.e. cat hole, trashbags and kitty litter, outhouse, etc. Even if you’re on septic, there’s no guaranty it will keep working. I met a woman from back west whose septic required a very expensive rebuild because of a nearby 4 magnitude earthquake. That’s not all that big for folks back west, but it was enough to rupture her system. Sanitation is vital. You don’t want to be living like a Haitian or Iraqi.

      Also, garbage. My plan is to separate trash into burnable, compostable (we do that already), indestructible, i.e. metals, plastics, and reusable, i.e jars, tin cans, plastic containers. What we can safely burn, we will. What can be reused will be cleaned and saved. We compost everything we can now. The indestructible will have to be stored, buried, or dumped. If we have to institute that plan, I’ll be happy to share it with my neighbors. That ensures we don’t end up with mountains of trash bags, like New York during a garbage strike. It would be great if I could convince all my neighbors to do that, but I suspect most will be lazy and want to dump it in the nearest convenient location away from their house. Probably in front of someone else’s house. So my backup plan is to offer to help organize a pickup run with a trailer to a patch of dead ground where nobody will care much about a redneck dumping ground. It’s disgusting, but I assume people are even lazier than I am.

    • Bull Sluice September 21, 2020 at 17:33

      The Art of War requires a bit of interpretation, but it is well worth the effort and definitely applicable to the current situation.

    • Johnny Paratrooper September 22, 2020 at 07:03

      This is a great comment. And might I add, the lazy 300 pound idiots aren’t gonna be gardening, they will be hunting and eating other people.
      Also, Gardening is VERY hard. You are correct. The deer, slugs, bunnies, aphids, moles, and mothworms ate my entire garden a few summers back. Literally, they ate the entire thing. And I had been left with some sort of cross pollinated mutant plants that looked extremely unhealthy and tasted like actual crap.

      I assume we will have to turn our time spend playing games and TV into “Crush the aphids” and “Blow that rabbit’s head off” and “Stab the ground with a pitch fork till you kill the mole”

      I was shocked how hard it is to garden. In the WRSA comment section a guy by the name of “T-fat” or some variation of those letters believes that 90% of the US population will die. I used to think he was crazy several years ago, but after attending college and serving in the Army; A 90% die off seems generous, like wildly generous. 95% would imply that 48 of 50 people on my street die. Which seems reasonable. Half of them are far too old to both feeding, and their kids are literally worthless weirdos.

      My own cousins think they can run into the woods and survive with a pistol and shotgun. To which I reply; “There isn’t any rap music, or food, in the woods; You are going to die within weeks and that’s GENEROUS” I also called them all cowards because every single plan of theirs is to “Run away and survive”. A really terrible plan.

  21. I Know Nothing Old Amateur September 21, 2020 at 12:06

    With some of the comments made about the problems caused by doorbell, business and traffic cameras, has anyone considered a concerted campaign to destroy them in your AO? The protesters in Hong Kong targeted them to prevent being identified. If your area is rapidly declining, I would think that Ring doorbells destroyed with a hammer would not be easily replaced. City workers and security company employees would not want to try to replace cameras in high risk areas. Has anyone heard reports of video surveillance availability in the rioting areas such as Portland or Minneapolis? All the videos that I have seen have come from phone cameras. I wonder if Antifa/BLM went after the cameras in their AO? Just my two cents.

    • Johnny Paratrooper September 21, 2020 at 13:14

      The Hong Kong Protestors are losers. If they had focused on punishing collaborators instead of destroying cameras, they would have eventually won. Their struggle is now a lost cause, they are currently sitting in reeducation camps being taught that Islam is a religion of death, that homosexuality is a mental disease associated with psychopathic behavior, and that the west has died because of moral, ethical, and sexual corruption. The Chinese won the argument because they are Kleptocratic Social Scientists. It’s important to remember that they lie to us 9 out of 10 times, but are honest with their members 9 of 10 times. The rest is excusable as a fog of war. The same holds true for Islam. AKA, we are losing because we are too nice and attach a half dozen caveats to any and all debates and arguments. Such a civilization cannot thrive and will, inevitably be conquered. Which you can see unfolding in real time.

      Also, I cannot drive 1 mile down my street without being on camera 30 or 40 times. The actions you are proposing are an impossible task to accompllish. You might as well ask for the sun and the moon.

      Instead of planning to zip and zap every camera in your AO, you should simply cut the power or data. Or both. And then run your operation under the cover of darkness and blackout. Direct TV and several other ISP offer a free camera with every subscription. There are, literally, hundreds of millions of cameras tied directly into the ISPs.

    • mike September 21, 2020 at 17:07

      That would not be practical or even realistically possible short of the power going out and staying out. Even then you would still have to consider solar powered standalone and backup GENSET powered cameras. A smart partisan will utilize streams and slivers of woodland and the like that provide camera free ingress and egress. It will be much harder to do this and follow the old ranger rule about not taking the same route back out since the suburban terrain is inhospitable to tactical travel and options are limited.

  22. Possum September 21, 2020 at 16:11

    Something of use for suburban operations would be cheap drones for scouting.

    Another thought is that these left wing groups are prone to purity spirals and ideological fracturing. It would be worthwhile to seek to understand the ideological motivations in the mix and see if we could foment internal strife and division.

    • Johnny Paratrooper September 22, 2020 at 22:32

      Great Question:
      Also, your plan is used everyday by the “Masters of Chaos”. Their proper name is Green Berets.
      It’s called winning. And it’s the only way to fight.

      Research Syndicated Anarchism and the IWI(or WIW) I cannot remember the exact abbreviation. You need to understand your enemy like you study the growth ring grain on a log before you drop the axe.

      Communists and Anarchists have been friends since “Sarco and Vindalli’s trial. Mexico is also their friend. It’s a LONG story. You have about 1,000 pages of reading ahead.

      It’s a myth that Anarchists don’t believe in leaders and community. They 100% have organization and leaders, and they have been infiltrating our government since 1912.

    I don’t know how much of an issue cameras are in this instance. If the fight discussed above is already on, the cameras are only of historical interest. As noted, the power will decide what’s up.

    If you’re interested in figuring out where cameras are, go out at night with NVGs. Most of the commercially available cameras seem to have cheap IR and near-IR LEDs on them, making them easy to spot. I experimented with one and the dim red LEDs were easily visible from some distance away with unaided eyes. It’s interesting to switch between the NVGs and unaided eyes to see how many otherwise invisible IR lights there are out there in public.

    Privacy-type hacktivists have pioneered caps with anti-IR spotlights on them that obscure your face to cameras. They also have masks that obscure your face with distracting patterns, highly reflective facial recognition-jamming glasses, and even clothes with patterns of license plates and faces on them to confuse face and plate recognition computers. They’ve also figured out you can confuse facial recognition by adopting makeup and hair styles that obscure your face. Essentially, you need to make yourself up like Ziggy Stardust and the camera can’t figure out what the heck you are. Nobody else will know, either.

    You know, now that I think of it, the current mask climate makes IDing figures kind of hard on its own. So diaper up. Since we’re headed into the cold months, you’ll have cause to wear a neck gaitor, ski mask, scarf, etc for the next few months.

    Currently reading John West’s “Fry the Brain.” In his section on the Palestinians, their TTPs sound familiar. All that would need to escalate would be sniper attacks on LEOs, reminiscent of Dallas. Part of the Israeli response was their own videos of encounters, and using suppressed 10/22s. Well placed .22 wounds were considered less lethal and more humane than CS and rubber bullets. Perhaps when Trump enforces the 14th Amendment, the Israeli response can be reviewed.
