In an earlier essay I described ways to do battle with the foul mouthed trash who now
infest the internet. They have had much success in pushing the
leftist agenda forward and into the streets, resulting in part with
the taking of the socialist agenda to a whole new level of political
power in America...in which ironically, they may not be allowed to
participate for very long.
For indeed there are many parallels between this lot and the idle and disenchanted youth Ernst Roehm recruited and trained in the late 1920s and early 30s, forging them into gangs of roaming thugs who by 1933 controlled most of the streets of Germany. By 1934 they had served their purpose, Roehm and other founders executed, the committed remains of that militia being melded into something darker and even more sinister. But for those who decided they liked the little turf territories they had commandeered for themselves, and wanted to stay on their street corners, like Roehm, they were taken out and summarily shot.

Wenn is wie eine stormtruppen gesprache
Es ist eine stormtruppen
(If it walks like a...and talks like a...it is a....)
Today those streets are the internet highway, and today those little soldiers have done what needed to be done. Today the American citizen, and the American conservative face the same dilemma the German people did in 1932. Do we leave our barricaded house and confront this menace on the streets, or do we hunker down and wait for someone to come along and do it for us?
I can only speculate at this early stage, but in Germany the same man who put those thugs out on the street was the one who came and removed them a few years later, thus earning the eternal gratitude...and quiet, trembling, unquestioning obedience...of the people.
We can only speculate at this early stage, but Vassar Bushmills and I (and others) have been quizzing each other as to what clues we can look for in 2009 as to what might transpire to give us a clue.
We all agree, watch the stormtroopers. Moreover, watch what will replace them, as the need for order replaces the need for chaos.
I think Obama's comment
"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the
national security objectives we’ve set.
We’ve got to have a civilian
national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just
as well-funded"
may provide a clue.
This comment, if as well thought out as it was delivered, suggest his national security interests will shift inward, domestically. Read Vassar Bushmill's
piece on the increase of domestic spying, posted a few days ago.
The idea of a national police force is a scary thing for a free country, in fact, it is antithetical. But a frightened nation, hiding behind barricaded doors, may not see things this way.
Assuming it would take 2-3 years to be up and running, such a force would have no impact until a second Obama term. If there is to be civil disturbances beforehand, the Administration will have to either ignore
posse comitatus or Congress will have to suspend or override it. We think the latter, as many (most) military commanders will not cross that the line of illegality for a C-in-C who already doesn't like them very much.
There are already small private militias in America, and not just the conspiracy nuts out in the Idahos. Farrakhan has one, much like al Sadr's in Sadr City, and we've all heard (if you've been listening, find it on Google) to the little cant-Pledge-of-Allegiance some of them gave to Obama before the election. Kinda spooky, huh? But still, no clear signal or sign of things to come.
Recruiting such an army also will not be a problem. We can all guess where the best pastures for finding these new officers of the law will come from....especially if we already have thousands of them up to work in our new "infrastructure camps". CCC, anyone? Training will be begin soon.
True, it is easy to put two and two together and come up with five. It could all be very benign, which is why I suggest you only watch. But there is one major problem with this benign outlook: A president does not create such a monster, train it, and inspire it, especially if it is to be beholding to him, then expect to pass it off to the next president in eight years. Presidents don't do that. Only Caesars do.
To my mind, that's the clue. Look for it. Look for murmurings and whispers in about 2011 about changing the 22nd Amendment.
