How eager was I to write a January 6th post?
So eager that I came downstairs to write a blog and promptly fell asleep for three hours, even though I actually slept well last night.
Okay, that might have more to do with the fact that I am actually, in point of fact, still recovering from "the cold that keeps coming back" whatever the heck that bug is. Dan says I didn't cough less last night, so all I can say is I must have slept through it? But I am coughing less during the days, which is at least the right motion. And he dragged me to do the doctor, so I'm medicated. (So, yeah, you know, not that kind. I remain at large. But I am medicated for the cough and secondary infections. Bronchitis in this case.)
However, there is nothing happy about Jan 6th. Not the two innocents butchered for no reason except they needed bodies as far as I can tell, not the setup to give themselves a reason to go after ideological dissenters, not the sad spectacle of grandma's indicted for "parading" which is apparently now a crime in America, nor the people they still hold in jail, because why not, they have China envy and dream of making protesters disappear.
The only thing I can say is that what January 6 has done is given us a gauge for "Don't do this. Nothing good will come of it, and there's a good chance there will be a setup to get us in trouble."
Mind you I think the setup failed. I think they were trying to get a semi-revolution going (because they read the mood in the country) but the right didn't bring guns and didn't do more than walk around being tourists, so they've been stuck making the best of what they got, and trying to hide any real damage was agents provocateurs and any real deaths by violence were of protesters and unprovoked.
Which brings us to... well, this is important okay?
Like the year they didn't assign us a teacher for German and still expected us to take the final exam, we tried demonstrations, but really who cared if 12 people demonstrated? We looked insane. If one of us had had contacts and got to the press, it might be made something of, but it would need to be someone who could pull a favor.
In the same way, what was the 6th going to accomplish?
I don't know what Trump thought it would do. He OBVIOUSLY never meant to overthrow the government. OBVIOUSLY. He might have thought that Pence would make a stand on principle, and wanted to have people nearby to cheer it, in which case well... he's gullible, but we suspected that, at least for his inner circle.
But we knew, from the moment the supreme court ignored the obvious markers of fraud that it was all going to be swept under the rug, and that the establishment was determined to carry through with the soft coup and install what is probably a Chinese Client government in power. (Though, hey, they're poli. They symp for Russia too. Or what else do you think throttling our oil production does?)
It was obvious all of the establishment and frankly most other people were completely baffled by the color revolution, using our rules, and only suspicious if you know math or accounting, and literally didn't know what to do. Any functionary, when unsure what to do will lean into "we've always done it this way" which is why we've been skating our merry way to hell, with a few, cheering outbreaks of rebellion and sheer "I won't."
I suspect those are about to become more frequent and at all levels. Hey, dems, if you wanted to convince us you were legitimate, there wouldn't have been barbed wire around the capital, and the national guard hunkered down, like you thought we were all about to drive in on tractors; there wouldn't have been making much out of a demonstration that even taking the actions of the agent provocateurs you'd peppered in as part of it, paled before the things antifa and BLM have done; and there wouldn't have been chasing around and trying to delegitimize everyone who said the election was crooked.
In fact, you had examples of this before you, since you claimed both George W. Bush's and Trump's elections were illegitimate and no one tried to jail you, cancel you or call you election deniers. Mostly because no one had anything to hide.
But you did. So you didn't appoint special investigative councils. You didn't at least pro-forma demand it be looked at. You didn't even let any of it come to court. And then, to put the topper on the cake, you decided it was fun to do it again for the mid-terms, in granted a more subtle way (You had some idea what you were facing.) But still sus as all get out. And frankly at this point you have been so ridiculously sus that none of us will trust you to count the votes for prom queen in a rural high school. Unless we go all one day, paper ballots and purple fingers, we'll assume you're crooked and making up voters wholesale.
And here we are. We know what you did last two cycles. You know what you did last two cycles. Your conscience has you panicked as all get out, because you know we're armed to the teeth and you know we know what our ideological ancestors did a certain Christmas. And we are p*ssed. Yes, we know the remedy for this. It's in the declaration of independence. But we also know that we don't want to tip it all into the pot unless there's no alternative. We are sitting here, stewing in anger, and thinking that the entire nation is a powder keg, and you flash bastards are dancing on it, obliviously, convinced that if you show us who's boss we won't do anything, and -- because you're panicked and stupid -- trying to rush through every yota of your mentally retarded agenda, like that will keep us quiet. (Who knows, maybe you think that actually will bring about nirvana. After all it never worked anywhere before, but now you're in charge, so it's different.)
This year is going to be hell o' weird. The speaker votes are just the beginning. It's going to get odd. D*mn odd.
And the left -- talking to my readers now, so you lefties shut up. I'll offend you again in a minute. Just wait -- is divorced from reality at the best of times. Very divorced from reality and in cloud cuckoo land the rest of the time. They're going to start getting spooked.
You see, their creedal revelation changes but it always pretends to foretell the future, and the future is always precisely according to their plans of the moment.
If I'm right 2023 is not going to go according to anyone's plans. Hold on to your hats, strap on your seat belts, because we're riding this fiery basket through a dumpster fire that collided with a clown cart. Making sense of this is going to be weird.
When the left feels uncomfortable, they revert to trying to create traps for the right, and create situations that -- they think -- will cause to act as they would, and give them just cause to exterminate us. It's obvious that Jan. 6h fizzled. They somehow failed to convince most of the public that the people with most guns in the US showing up to demonstrate without their weapons intended revolution. Go figure. It's a puzzle. For them. Their true believers are super-convinced, after all, because they never saw anything on TV news that they didn't buy wholesale and ask for more.
But that means they're going to try to create more traps. And I figure the best I an do is give you the following touchstones:
1- Look at the imagery. The left CAN'T help themselves. Because it's part of their creed that this is what "the people" want.
Anything they create will be called "Front" or "the People's" and the site and leaflets and all will be pasted all over with Maoist imagery, stars and fonts.
They can't help themselves. And maybe they are taking dictation from the CCP.
2- Look at where they want you to go, whether they want you to sign up ahead, etc. Is there a way they're going to track you to be able to put you on lists, etc. (Yeah, well, you know? I am already on lists. But most of you aren't.) If it's an obvious "collect names" set up.... well, why bother.
3- AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: What is it supposed to accomplish?
Jan 6 was never going to accomplish anything besides "one last hurrah." And one last public speech by Trump. The establishment had already closed ranks. There wasn't going to be any reversal on that.
What did you think you were going to do? March shoulder to shoulder and demand they redo the elections? In what world was that going to work? Unless you got seventy million to converge on DC and that wasn't going to happen, the best you'd have managed is start the shooting war right then and there. And even that would have required five or six million.
There are limits to what demonstrations can do. And at the time, before the lunacy of the last two years, most people didn't even want to believe there had been fraud. Even people on our side. (I'm not going to link Larry's essays again, but you can find them if you search his blog for fuckery. I didn't need them, because I have a feel for when numbers go wrong, but you might.) People hoped we could just take the hit, and it wouldn't be worse than the 70s. (Well, howdy.)
SO TO SUMMARIZE: Don't take any wooden nickels. Don't fall for fake imagery. Don't fall for attempts to get a few hundred people to do something that looks bad, so they can go after the rest of us.
Other than that? Stand way back from the points of packed powder and watch carefully. At some point it's all going to blow, unless we get very very very lucky. (I want to believe G-d protects fools, drunkards and the United States of America. I do. We will see.)
And while you're waiting, don't forget that laughter is good for stress relief, and some of the traps the idiots will try to set will be for real hilarious.
No, seriously. I don't think they can get much "better" than the "Patriot Front" delivering polo-shirted, sun-glassed guys with military haircuts and identical shoes various places to claim there was a serious White Nationalist movement afoot. But you never know. They're scared and stupid, and that's a heck of a combination.
At this point, they are the clown car that collided with the dumpster fire.
Buy stock in popcorn. Be prepared. And be not afraid.
And remember, keep your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark.
And pray you have no need to do just that.
