    I was always told “Don’t be a Dick”. I think that was bad advice.

      Tell jbl that I happen to “know my enemy” might have access to hellfire-armed predator drones, which is why I ain’t stupid enough to encourage ill-advised acts of violence against fellow Americans.

    Thus far, the Dick is a wet blanket. When will he encourage our men instead of DIScourage? There are many things — I can call them operations — that local men good with firearms and local tactics can accomplish, whether applied locally or not.
    I have the Counties Plan, as an example. In nearly every county in the USA (counties that do NOT have a big city in them), three small teams can take control of that county: the main govt building, the broadcast media, and the cop shop.
    I hope my fellow men are not so dumbed-down by a Dick and other “defense-only” propaganda that you can’t think of other very doable deeds by a small group of brave men who know we can’t vote our way out of this heinous ever-encroaching communism.

      If you were paying attention to the videos, he isn’t discouraging anyone, he is talking common sense. Discouraging would be telling us to sit at home and do nothing. Realistically, without the support structure of a large force behind us, we can’t conduct large operations, no matter what the level of training. Say you and your group are actually able take your three county buildings- what then? How are you going to hold onto them? What is going on with your families and homes while you’re away? If you’re so sure that you can be successful, why haven’t you done it yet?
      Dick is preaching sound advice to everyone- that we need to work within our capabilities, and to be realistic when assessing them, because reality will bite you in the ass if you’re not. He’s trying to talk some common sense into people so that they can actually stand a chance of being successful.
      I’ve heard NC Scout use a saying that applies here as well- Don’t rush to failure.
      Maybe you should go back and listen to the videos again.

        Spot on wwes.

        Thanks for your reply. I didn’t say “large operations.” And there is no such thing as “common sense.” If there were, it would be “common” and not need to be said, nor would anybody think it to be notable wisdom.
        Now, your questions. How to hold the buildings? As my online plan states, we would already know if we could get a good portion of the public out to surround and support us. We would broadcast what we’ve done, that FULL freedoms of the Bill Of Rights are hereby restored, and that the next elections will be held on schedule. We would very much want to have coordinated with brother groups in nearby counties so that we would take back a region, thus greatly enhancing our chances for longterm success. Our families and homes? They are armed, but in the short-term there’s no significant threat to them. Why haven’t I done it yet? That’s a funny one. Why have our big-talk groups of highly trained veterans done NOTHING in response to the huge crimes of lockdowns, killed businesses, killed jobs, violation of rights of Assembly, etc.? Now, here’s the direct answer to your question: I cannot find as many as two real men in the region in which I live. The few real men I know are scattered around the country.
        I don’t encourage “rushing to failure.” I encourage plans, taking great care in vetting anyone allowed to know anything, and being covert in every way except the actions intended to be public.
        And I see “Dick” has issued a comment aimed at me. He says he “ain’t stupid enough to encourage ill-advised acts of violence against fellow Americans.” That’s ignorance talking. Of course, we don’t encourage “ill-advised” acts. And the enemy infesting the tyrannical govt offices and lying media are NOT “fellow Americans.”
        We were BORN into this ever-encroaching communism. Just lately it’s being ratcheted-up bigtime. We must break out of the defensive mindset. Offense Is Required.

          You might not have said large operations, but what you are talking about and describing are large scale operations. And what we commonly call “common sense” is very much a real thing, although not everyone seems to have it.
          Your response to the question about how to hold the buildings doesn’t really answer the question. Just expecting the whole community to show up and surround a building is relying on something that you can’t control. And how many of those people are going to stick around and support your group when a government entity comes to challenge you? Short of you having your own paramilitary force, which you have already said you don’t, you’re not going to hold that very public location for long. Your broadcast ability is going to be shut down or jammed before you can turn your head. There is a reason guerilla forces don’t go in and try to control large exposed public buildings. You should spend some time reading books written about the IRA, the Chechens, and the Balkan conflicts.
          If you are assuming your home and family are facing no immediate threat while you are conducting any kind of operation, you have already set yourself up for failure. They are going to be an immediate target as soon as word goes out about what you are doing.
          So you are saying that you haven’t done anything because you can’t find more than a few bubbas to work with- that is exactly why you ought to go back and listen to the videos again, you didn’t catch the message. I wasn’t asking about all of those other groups you mention, I was asking why YOU haven’t done it because you imply that you have a plausible plan for doing so. From your answer you do not. You say that you encourage prior planning, but from the scenario you describe, your plan is to rely on a lot of things happening more or less spontaneously, rather than planning for them.
          In regards to the comment Dick left for you- I won’t presume to speak for him, that’s not my place, but I will say that your description of taking control of buildings and holding on to them sounds exactly like encouragement of “ill-advised acts of violence against fellow Americans” as one can’t accomplish that goal without some level violence. Some, if not all, of the folks caught up in that violence would most definitely be your fellow community members. Publicly committing said violence is also probably the one of the fastest ways to alienate a large portion of your community who might otherwise have supported you.
          That defensive mindset you speak of- even if one goes on the offense, you still better have defense in your plans too, because your family and friends aren’t sitting safely at home on another continent. Those that mean to do you harm will be sitting right beyond your doorstep, waiting for you to take some poorly planned action that is beyond your capabilities, and that poorly planned action is going to have some very serious consequences- that is why it is absolutely critical that we ALL do an ice cold honest assessment of what our capabilities are, AND work to constantly improve on them where possible.
          Speaking for myself- I KNOW what I can and cannot do. I am not a vet, not an “operator” and I don’t have a company of trained guys beside of me. I am a high school teacher and small scale farmer, with a limited amount of very basic training. Does that mean that I can’t affect change in my area? Most definitely not- I can probably affect changes that an “operator” may not be able to. It doesn’t even mean that if things were to go all 1776 that I wouldn’t be right in the thick of it. It does mean that I need to plan to apply my skills where they are going to do the most good, which probably isn’t going to be assaulting an entrenched enemy position.

      If that’s what you are getting from his videos, you need to do two things. First, check your headspace, and second, re-listen to what he’s saying.
