The Efficacy of Insurgency in Modern America – Part 1, by Just A Dad

“In the end, the result has been, an increase of false reports, a decrease in factual reports and the overwhelming idea that any woman who makes a report should be automatically believed, before facts or evidence is seen.”

Absolutely, unless they’re the “wrong sort” of woman accusing Those Who Can Do No Wrong. Just ask Tara Reid……

“Additionally, it has given rise to the idea that men are predators and women prey, cementing the false social understanding that women are victims by design, even though this is exactly the opposite of the initial reason for starting it.”

Yes, and this also leads to a decrease in factual reports. As does the disgusting perpetuation of “revenge porn” reports from women who are seemingly morning-after-regretful or have simply been scorned, which nonetheless can lead to the destruction of lives or careers based not on fact and conviction but on mere accusation. (And back to “many men are now distrustful of women in the workplace as well as in private settings” as you said.) Both factors make some survivors who had been previously considering telling their experiences, for the sole purpose of wanting to find their voices and find healing, now want to take it to the grave. Or so I’m told. From a friend, and etc and so forth.

Great article so far — looking forward to the rest!

Sounds like a liberal quote. “ Getting deeply involved in the Middle East ran the risk of making America the target of that radicalism and anger;”. We were totally engaged in WWI and WWII and enemies were eradicated. We were not totally engaged in North Korea nor Vietnam and they still stand as our enemy in communism.

What you quoted is a thought supported by most of the leaders who were in charge of invading the Middle East. It is not a left leaning concept.

Agreed Muddykid. It’s not a right/left statement, just a statement of common-sense fact. If you get in people’s faces, they’re going to react. The US gets in people’s faces more than any other country in the world today and it ain’t about Freedom!

Amen, brother. The word might be imperialism.

Carry on

Agreed.

a)
So far, I think the authors use ‘United States’ and ‘America’ interchangeably, inferring the goofballs in District Of Columbia are those definitions, and infer Americans (aka us ‘deplorables’) are part of that… and connected to that.

I see similar mistakes by just about every frustrated individual globally, frustrated with the goofballs in District Of Columbia.
Based on my experience, their frustration has nothing to do with us ‘deplorables’ in ‘fly-over country’ and outside the urban dis-reality.

I am willing to bet the overseas enemies of the goofballs in District Of Columbia have a lot in common with us ‘deplorables’.
In fact and in action, the goofballs in District Of Columbia consistently and continually prove they are the enemies of everything good and decent and just.

Accordingly, I believe most of the global population is in active insurgency against the few dozen goofballs in District Of Columbia and their thousands of pencil-pushing minions.
I see no way for District Of Columbia to survive this insurgency.

I see no reason for District Of Columbia to exist.

b)
I think one thing and one thing only gives the goofballs in District Of Columbia the illusion of power — their control of TheMainStreamMedia.

Marge,

First, I appreciate all the feedback so far, some of it will be answered with the next 2 sections of the article. Yours, is very solid, and I wanted to respond.

Yes- this is a solid understanding for certain. It is my belief and a very strongly held one, that cities regardless location are nothing more then giant live rat traps, for humans.

While I have lived in cities, I am country born and bred.

As for media, I would suggest it is a matter of whom the media supports, not that the media is controlled by politicians. If you track back investors in major media, China controls many monetarily- and China may be a trade partner, but they are no friend. Russia controls others, and Qatar and Saudi Arabia control/fund even more with a very few being controlled monetarily by 3 separate billionaire families in the USA.

Disney for instance has large portions of their investments found in China. Disney controls Fox.

To ad to this thought on the media,

We typically think of resources as something we can hold and or consume. When we talk about a resource, that discussion also includes the supply-lines of those resources.

Information is also a resource. The supply-line of information is interesting in several ways and includes all sorts of political aspects that are rarely discussed. Food for thought, and looking forward to the next two installments.

Yep.

And to quote a song that I like a lot: “Misinformation is a weapon of mass destruction…”

Disney bought a significant amount of Fox (film studios, etc) but did not buy Fox news. Fox news was retained by Rupert Murdoch and remains independent of Disney.

Dad, few people say out loud anything about the influence of the House of Saud over our news media and other affairs.

Good on ya.

Carry on

Amen!

You did neither eradicate your enemies in WWI nor WWII, you neither eradicated the german, habsburgian, turkish, italian, japanese or russian people.
Also you didn´t eradicate fascism or Imperialism and honestly at least in WWI you weren´t able to do anything of those things.
Your most important military accomplishment in WWI was most likely triggering the Hindenburg Offensive.

Trying to totally annihilate your enemies in Korea would´d most likely ended in WWIII especially after your assault on sowjet airfields

ThoDan,

Agreed that nothing has been eradicated in the context of WW1 or WW2.

IMO, the most important accomplishment of WW1 was human’s beginning to use the air, rather than land and water.

Humans did that in the napoleonic wars or short thereafter, IIRC habsburgian military used a montgolfiere or such to coordinate/direct artillery

Too simple. Sending things through the air has a relationship with time. Furthermore, remote sensing, and the use of the cameras becomes much more prominent and interesting as an extension of human senses (line sight) during WW1.

You did however nail the #me2 movement. My wife, who is Asian, said the real sexual harassment is from American women liberating themselves from the marriage bed. She’s correct- you just don’t see this many single men from all age categories walking around China.

HR departments are overrun by females and female-biased policies to harm the family provider. Statistics demonstrate women do not support stay at home spouses with their equality.

I’m curious to see how strongly American women will feel about equal rights when they get drafted in the next war in equal proportions with men.

Agreed.

However women are not allowed in Ground Combat and the special forces few females of today are only there after multiple attempts and then the military lowing the standards. Sad but true.

I asked my father about sexual harassment policies when he was in the workplace from the 1950s – 1980s and he said “there were any sexual harassment or gender discrimination lawsuits, nor men be terminated at will (other than for gross incompetency) as today because there weren’t any women in the workforce when I was there.” Dad’s own words.

We have about 85% male military today when it shifts to a majority of females as the white collar workforce of today, you’ll have lost families, patriarch fired, abortion, lawsuits, commanders relieved to allow less “toxic” gender (you know baby killing divorce mongers male hating lawsuit hungry less “toxic” gender – yeah that gender) to manage, and Of course lost wars forevermore. Our country will be over when women get a hold of our military men in uniform.

This is an exceptional interview with Lin Wood by The Epoch Times, and timely given the topics of conversation at hand. It’s almost an hour long, and well worth every minute to hear what he has to say.

^[3]

Hello T of A. I hope you and your family are well. I watched that video with Lin wood this morning before I saw your post. Hes a good man and is fighting for us with all his might. Sadly I feel hes losing the fight. And President Trump is getting backstabbed by seemingly every new person he hires to replace the last backstabber. So sad and frustrating. Im praying with Mr Wood but like so many of us Im looking for someone to fight and wish I had the enemy in front of me to fight.

Take Heart, WV Joe! All hope is not lost, although I understand exactly what you’ve said and see too that President Trump has been betrayed at nearly every turn… As Christian Believers, we understand the depth of what betrayal means through Jesus Our Lord, and must stand to protect others from it in every way we can.

We should consider as well the great battles of history, including our own American Revolution, and what would have happened if the warriors of those times had been so disheartened that they had given up. We must all breathe deeply, and steel ourselves. We are much closer to victory than we might know, but we have not yet escaped the potential clutches of defeat.

Please also take action. For anyone who needs a contact list, here you go.

Every person among us has a few minutes to give to the cause — the very cause for which many have given their lives. Let’s get to it!

What did the war look like before the battle of Trenton?

One of the many factors that led to that victory was unity. Many leaders, field commanders, and troops could have jumped ship. Keep working together.

Carry on

Can’t wait for the next installments!

If insurgency is rebellion against a current LAWFUL AUTHORITY, wouldn’t a patriotic action against an unlawful authority actually be a counter-insurgency? In the case of a Republic, isn’t the “lawful authority” held by the people? I’m asking for a friend.

Your ‘friend’ makes a very good point and I agree!

That is my understanding. The groups trying to bring down a lawful government, or groups within a government taking unlawful action, would be examples of insurgencies. Groups trying to preserve or restore that lawful government would be counter insurgencies.

MikeH- that determination gets to be made by the “winner”.

Insightful.

Carry on

Different societies ´ve valued and do value different things.
What today is a very minor concern at best or worst, could or would´ve caused open rebellion – revolution and bloody battles in the streets and i don´t mean relatively tame riots, i mean battle in the military sense and things today would be considered essential by some of us were considered unworthy of notice then and now.

Testimony needs evidence to be considered false, i´ven´t seen any evidence worth consideration of any accusation of these woman, i don´t say they´re true or without error but no proof they could be considered false.

I´ve seen here and elsewhere men who would accuse a woman who complain over sexual assault, moobing or else the culprit and neither the male offender nor the male superior who tolerates that or protects him the culprit.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

The Moment in US “history” when men were the “sole breadwinner” honestly isn´t even a blink for a mayfly, even in most of your “history” women did participate in the breadwinning
Historically most men would´ve been naked, without women of their family making their clothes starting from scratch.
Weaving is a classical eyample for it, in antiquity it was a major part of a woman´s work to weave the fabric for their families clothes.

“Testimony needs evidence to be considered false, i´ven´t seen any evidence worth consideration of any accusation of these woman, i don´t say they´re true or without error but no proof they could be considered false.”

That statement is pretty much opposite of the concept of innocent until proven guilty which our legal system is based upon. Testimony typically needs corroborating evidence to be treated as true. The burden of proof is on the accuser not on the accused.

Even since ancient times, the testimony of a single witness is considered suspect. It is recorded in the Bible that two or three witnesses were required to successfully accuse someone in court. I believe numerous other examples of this can be found concept both ancient and modern.

I believe you are from/in Germany if memory serves me? Being a Western nation, I strongly doubt a German court would convict someone of anything on the testimony of a single person without some other corroborating evidence. If that is not the case, although I would love to visit parts of that beautiful country, I doubt I would ever step foot on that soil.

I said not that the accused was guilty, i said that i found no proof that the testimony was false.

Innocent until proven guilty goes also for the accusant

PS and it´s very unlikely if competent law enforcement believes a woman who claims that she was sexually assaulted, that her words are false.

I would agree with you, certainly there is a very good reason why two parent homes, specifically those with one parent at home for kids, are better than single parent homes. In criminal justice, my specific educational and experiential area of work until disability, the data supports this approach. What the data does not support is the idea that one is better or worse, regardless reasoning.

Families need fathers and mothers first, to raise good children who produce instead of take. This is a simple, realistic and factually based reality. My children have been raised shooting, cooking, gardening, hunting, sewing etc ., I taught them most of these things myself. A well rounded education is not just whatever new version of math exists. It is a well rounded education, that helps them avoid the trap of endless fear because we choose to avoid things we are uncomfortable with and or do not understand.

Weaving is an amazing art, and one I have barely touched but would absolutely love to learn, and help my children learn!

Depends on the parents, there´re “parents” children are better of without – much better and there´re “parents” who care more for their wallets than their children.

Both parents may´ve a greater chance of success, but i know of enough single parents nobody could accuse them of not doing a very fine Job of raising their kids(like my grandma) and some even care for their disabled spouse at the same time.

Which is exactly the reason i warn the single breadwinner model, it wasn´t much fun for my grandma to raise my mother and aunt without a profession and so money was short.

“…“Testimony needs evidence to be considered false….”

ThoDan, I feel I must correct your egregious misunderstanding of American law. The burden of proof is ALWAYS upon the accuser. The accuser must not only testify, with that testimony being entirely dependent upon the perceived truthfulness and veracity of the alleged victim, but the accuser must also provide EVIDENCE to back up their claim. And then the prosecutor must prove BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT that a crime was committed if in a criminal prosecution, or prove BY A FAIR PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE that sexual harassment occurred if a civil prosecution using the REASONABLY PRUDENT PERSON standard.

Now sometimes that evidence may be a series of actions — a woman is raped, she goes home and tells her best friend, the friend convinces her to call the police, the police gather evidence (photograph bruises, collect clothing, witness testimony, examine the scene, etc.) and have a doctor collect a rape kit for DNA evidence. There will often be holes in the victim’s story — no other witnesses — no DNA because the assailant wore a condom — etc. But if the victim goes through the “normal” procedure and ACTS like a rape victim, they will still often prevail in court, but the defense attorney will make much of any holes.

On the other hand, a woman who FAILS to report a sexual assault and go through that process will immediately be suspect. A woman who goes home, takes a shower, washes her clothing, and waits 3 days to report a rape has a much less chance of being believed UNLESS there are witnesses.

The same occurs with the civil infarction of “sexual harassment” in the workplace.

But in NO CASE, in the history of legal jurisprudence in this country, ever, can a victim come forward 30 years after the fact and, having never done a single one of the actions normally associated with a rape victim, can an accuser come forward 30 years after the fact and expect anyone to believe her.

I work with battered and abused women. Since the Kavanaugh hearings, I absolutely CANNOT get an authority — not the police — not the district attorney — not a judge — and not a jury — to “believe women.” ALL rape victims are now, by extension, no matter HOW much evidence there is, even DNA evidence, are now labeled liars. Nothing has done more harm to women than the #MeToo movement.

I have often thought how fortunate it would have been if good German citizens and especially Jewish citizens had assassinated Hitler in the 30’s. In retrospect it probably would have required his assassination and many of his devoted followers assassination. I know! Assassination is a dirty word and I agree. But WW II and 50 million people killed is a pretty dirty fact to compare it with. If I had been giving advice to the few good German citizens I would have advised no (as in zero) conspiring with even one other person. Two or more people conspiring to commit an act against their oppressors is sure to be found out. Act independently. And to act locally or nationally, many of those local leaders that supported Hitler allowed and supported his rise to power. I would also have advised them to be prepared to be caught and if arrested or confronted to then become completely passive. The tendency is to go out with a bang but that can be a mistake for the goal of taking your country back because the people you fight (in those early stages) would be the people that your fellow citizens believe are there to protect them. For example most people are outraged that Antifa and BLM attacked the police. In Germany in the 30’s it wasn’t difficult to know who the would be Nazi’s were and 10,000 individual German patriots could have acted each independently (which would make it difficult for the authorities to discover) and prevented the horror of Nazi Germany and saved millions of lives. Too bad it didn’t happen and the world was doomed to face the results of a country stolen by tyranny.

Look in a few history books!

There were assassination attempts on Hitler and plans to assassinate him or remove him from power.

Georg Elsser is the first i recall and the most ironic is the one, were allied air bombardment destroyed the equipment for the sucidical explosive attempt, the last one was 20 Jul.
There were many that couldn´t brought to bear because Hitler didn´t show up and the Kreisauer Circle weren´t found out before 20 of July, neither were many other attempts and plans.

Hey Just A Dad, lots of good points and looking forward to the next two installments.

Funogas, thank you! From such a talented author, just wanting to read my drivel is, high praise! Thoroughly enjoyed your articles by the by!

I hate Hollywood but good quote from Body of Lies,
“… Our enemy has realized that they are fighting guys from the future. Now, ahem, it is brilliant as it is infuriating. If you live like it’s the past, and you behave like it’s the past, then guys from the future find it very hard to see you…..”

I think this series is very timely. I see that a patriotic organization called Oath Keepers is proposing martial law if it becomes necessary.

And WhY would there be an insurgency ? Stolen election ? A 5000 page pork covid relief bill that gives us $600 ?
^[18]

P.S.- I have emailed the President urging him to VETO this super-porkulus bill, I urge you all to do the same, and to email or call your senators and urge them NOT to vote for this bloated dishonest bill. This bill is a slap-in-the-face to all Americans who are hurting financially.

For all and again, thank you!

This was originally penned this article in January, before the world was aware of this ChinaFlu and the like. I wrote it because, I saw what is and will happen. Regardless our desires, what we had, is no more. What we can have, is what we should push towards. *and at no point do I believe that armed insurrection is a wise choice, rather, I wrote it in response to several friends asking questions* they enjoyed, assisted with minor edits and here it is!

I can’t wait for the rest of this grear article. Thank you from all of us.

“In many cases, terrorism has been used by insurgents to gain beneficial arrangements from local populations. By using fear as a tool they have been able to retain control over localities. This is not the tool one would want to use in the United States. Rather, it would benefit the individuals looking to usurp federal control to look at simply engaging only federal troops/enforcers in a way that avoids local civilian casualties. Additionally, it would be necessary to provide goods and services that replace the ones offered by the government. ”

This paragraph aligns with the description in War of the Flea of how to wage a successful guerrilla war. Victory is wining the hearts and minds of the people, more so than winning a shooting war. Shooting battles, carefully selected by the guerrillas, may be necessary, but even then the goal is to show the lack of efficacy of the dominating power, further building the esteem the populace has of the insurgency.

Sadly, BLM and antifa seem to understand this and are making inroads in this way in some communities. Non-socialist insurgents really do need to take this advice to heart.

Thanks for a great article. I’m very much looking forward to the rest of the series.

The author is factually incorrect with regard to the United States standing combined military force. He leaves out the U.S. Marine Corps (~180,958), the newly formed U.S. Space Force (~16,000), and the U.S. Coast Guard – nominally assigned to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) but transferrable to the Department of Defense – U.S. Navy (~40,992). In addition, there are also Reserve forces in all the services and the Army has the National Guard as well. In the post-Vietnam era force, key capabilities are only in the reserves. In addition, when we were actively fighting two insurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan (2009/10) guard and reserve units were absolutely essential to maintain “depth to dwell” ratios as the Army and Marine Corps were stretched pretty thin maintaining commitments in Iraq (and its drawdown) while simultaneously building up for the “surge” in Afghanistan. Either way the line is so blurred, that when contingencies arise outside of “steady state” deployments, most operations frequently request and get the authorization to use reserves.

Wow. This is a lot to take in.

It is interesting timing. I spent all of yesterday in the car with my son and my son in law. My son, a Marine, was granted leave for Christmas and my son in law, an Army/Nat Guard Vet and I went to pick him up.

We spent much of the car ride home discussing the state of things in the country right now. Hmmm. Curious to get their take on all of this.

One note… On the whole #meto subject and it’s impact on young men…

When my son finished his mos training and was assigned a unit, my SIL, a few months back from Kuwait, had these parting words to his brother…”if there’s girls in your unit stay away from them. They’re not your friend”. And this to a 22 year old who’s willing to walk around a Marine base wearing a purity ring! His answer? “Yeah. I know”.

How sad.

Frankly, this all gets overwhelming to me. My plan this week is simple… I am just focusing on home, family and Christmas. I think we all know that peaceful time together as a family is not guaranteed to last and I need to soak up all that I can.

I am cooking furiously. I have two more Marines coming that couldn’t get home for Christmas and a nurse I work with that was uninvited by her family (because of Covid fears..they didn’t want to be near her). My meal stretching is about to be tested!

I’ll embrace reality again next week.

Much Love and a blessed Christmas everyone.

Impressive bit of research. I always find more meaning and information in a work that has been well thought out, and studied. Am very much looking forward to the following installments.
It is painfully obvious that “public education”, has been specifically geared to undermine, and even to erase the much needed lessons of history. Ours (USA), and that of all societies preceding us. Having been educated from 1957 to 1968, I was taught a great deal (albeit “influenced” even in those days), about American history, and that of Western Civilization. What I was taught wet a fervent desire within me to search and study all I could access, which was only a dribble compared to what is available in this time. I am distressed and brokenhearted by the fruits of the “education” offered currently, and am fully convinced it is aimed at the “fundamental changing” of the America that we have fought and labored for.
Works, such as yours herein, will… I am hopeful, offer understanding and even guidance to all who are looking for the better way.
Masterful work, son, kudos…..and keep rockin’.

Thank you Dad! Love you sir!
