I think you might know just how much I want to be wrong.

That doesn't mean I'm going to be surprised. The militarization of 
the so-called police has been going on for a long time.

Vermont Secession Strategy



by mailto:jke...@aol.comKirkpatrick Sale

Thats all well and good. But unlike during the War to Prevent 
Southern Independence, this time the Imperial Feds have nukes.  Do 
you really think that nest of dangerous sociopaths back in New Rome 
on the Potomac, would hesitate to use them?

No need for nukes against people armed with, at best, rifles.

Think Prague Spring.

The one and only hope is that the tanks rolling into Montpelier makes 
enough people angry enough that the cascade of nullification and 
secession happens in earnest.

There is no hope what so ever of military success, because the 
military will OBEY their orders, just as they did under Lincoln.

I was thinking more in general. If it spreads to 20 plus states, they 
are going to be damn hard pressed, given how spread out the imperial 
legions are.  Not to mention at some point the military itself is 
going to fragment. Not all of them have forgotten their oaths are to 
the Constitution, not the government.

I'd put the benefit of that attribute on the same level as keeping my 
fingers crossed.

I actually think you might be wrong on this one, Curt.  The present military 
has actually had lessons taught to them in Basic about war crimes.  Not that it 
always works, of course, since the guys who claim to run things send the kids 
over to places they weren't taught about in Sunday School.  I got the lessons 
about ten months before the sack of Saigon (and was working on C-5s and C-141s 
at Travis the whole time the south fell, one of our C-5s didn't make it home, 
it fell into a swamp with a cargo of 600 doctors, nurses and children.  Black 
boxes were never admitted to being recovered, anybody who'd ever worked on that 
plane was intensely debriefed -- yeah, me too).  Official story was a 
structural failure of a structure that doesn't exist on that plane -- that was 
probably the genesis of my active anarchism, and I had three and a bit years 
left in the USAF -- thank whatever gods there might be that _Illuminatus!_ by 
Bob Shea and Bob Wilson was published as a Dell trilogy a few months previous 
to provide fresh inspiration.  [I'd already been a fan of Heinlein and Rand for 
let's just call it a long damed time.)  (I read _Rocket Ship Galileo_ when I 
was six, I read _Anthem_ when I was eight).  I turn 55 in two months, anybody 
is welcome to work out the arithmetic.  And free to wonder why I wound up in 
the USAF.  (I still wonder myself, and I was there when I did it).

The Bible says (in Palms 90:10) that The days of our years are threescore 
years and ten, yet Xtians frequently defy G-d's will and continue to preach 
rather than commit suicide on their 70th birthday.  Yeah, the Psalm says you're 
allowed to live to eighty, but you're going to suffer if you do that, so you 
might as well just kill yourself.  Suicide is not a sin in the Old Testament, 
and I can't find the spot in the New Testament that changes the status.  (This 
blasphemy is an original from me [wdg3rd], the sort of thing I strive for).
