Videos have recently made the rounds on Disclose.tv showing armed citizens firing on rioters in South Africa, taking it upon themselves to police their own lives and property as the riots have grown ever violent in the recent days.
The average American reaction is somewhere between ‘holy based’ and ‘coming to a US city near you’. Even those who are considered political commentators have offered little other than comparisons to movies such as 28 days later. What this does is demonstrate how disassociated much of the U.S. population is from real violence, and real hardship. Those whose only comparison point to such riotous or dangerous actions are movies and meme language are indicating in a not so subtle way that they exist within a safety bubble, and the comments they make are devoid of any practical or real world experience. This isnt meant to disparage as much as its meant to display a lack of recognition and readiness.
What is happening in South Africa will be familiar, though not identical, to those who lived through Portland, Kenosha, and any city hit during the Summer of 2020 as Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and liberal hate groups (groups that hate America) reigned down a summer of terror and destruction. In many ways the Summer of 2021 has been a real blessing as those groups have not acted to the extent that they did in the lead up to the 2020 election. The fact that they have taken a back seat as Democrats have taken power is interesting.
But what is more interesting is the future of American and the fact that the Summer of 2020 may not be a one off timeframe but may be a foreshadowing of events to come under every future Republican Presidential administration. Donald Trump was the Law and Order President, he billed himself as such and in many respects did well to balance the need to voice a firm hand against its actual application. He sought local and state guidance at every instance when deploying federal police forces across the country and many times was ultimately stopped by local or state authorities. If the Law and Order President was ultimately unable to put an end to the riots and unrest due to the legal constraints placed upon federal government, what is to make anyone think that this won’t have established precedence for those Democrat controlled groups as to when they should and shouldn’t operate?
What is more, having been given the green light to act out political terror on local populations by Democrats, these groups will likely amp up their operations and the types of direct action they take against people. Already, we are seeing individuals - not just communities - put on their hit lists. A recent article by the New York Times indicates that the American Flag is an alienating symbol to many, while a BLM Chapter has declared it altogether a hate symbol. How does this develop and mature as an idea in three to four years from now by those who believe such today?
I expect, and this isn’t meant as hyperbole, that the direction of our nation if not altered in some drastic way is headed in a very distinct direction. This being a nation which merges the Political, Tech, and Societal practices of the United Kingdom and China with an enhanced Cartel presence on this side of the border. This may sound odd to some but take the need for governmental surveillance of a population. Nine out of ten of the most surveilled cities in the world are in China. The outlier: London, England. It ranks as the third most surveilled city in the World, having the 2nd most cameras of any city (627k) and 67.47 CCTV Cameras Per Person. In 2005 the City of Westminster fitted its CCTV cameras with microphones to pick up audio stream that could then be paired with the video to give a more comprehensive view of the public and their recorded interactions. The program was however disbanded in 2008, a full three years after people began to complain of this obvious breach of privacy which provided enough time to make sure the techniques were perfected by law enforcement. The move to disarm the populace is also something to be noted and taken into consideration should the Summer of 2020 become more commonplace. It’s tough to defend against a group of rioters with a butter knide, which is about as much self defense as the U.K. government allows of its citizen-servants.
In China, what has been called a ‘surveillance net’ covers the countries cities both major and minor. Aside from the omnipotence of CCTV cameras, the nation utilizes facial recognition software to an unprecedented degree. And moreover, whether or not the capability is as robust as the nation claims, they make sure everyone believes they have an enormous facial recognition capability because once you internalize this belief compliance becomes much more palatable and appealing. By getting citizens to embrace the omnipotence of the governments reach they can stabilize dissent through fear.
It also helps that they have internment camps for an entire section of the population that is deemed necessary to be targeted or potential terrorists. Having an internal target that is a small minority and easily recognizable has always had a harmonizing effect on the supporting population within a nation. The large portion of the population can target their anger, uncertainty, fear and dislike of almost anything onto this particular group. The Bolsheviks targeted the Kulaks, the Nazi’s targeted the Jews, the Ugandans targeted the Asians within Uganda, the Ottomans targeted the Armenians, the Libyans targeted the local Italian population, and so on. This targeting provides unity among those larger sections of the population that does the targeting. It has worked time and again throughout history.
Along with this, the open border policy comes in to play as those who traffic in lives get ever bolder. What fear to Cartels have when the government has declared the greatest threat to the country a large section of its own citizens? Remember, Conservatives have been branded worse than Al Qaeda by the current government. Do the Cartels then move in to exploit the situation, not to take land, but to expand routes and territory. They aren’t interested in governing within the US, but they are interested in expanding their footprint to bring in more money, which will require more arms and fighters to control the areas expanded into. I don’t see us devolving into Mexico, and that isn’t what I am getting at but with the border as porous as it has ever been I expect we see our first major cartel action on US soil during the Biden Administration. How individuals are forced to respond as police forces become thinner and morale decreases by the year is unknown. The areas that may become affected by Cartel violence on this side of the border may very well find themselves developing safety practices, societal defenses, faith masking and the wary attitudes of those currently residing south of the border.
And this leads me back to the riots that we are seeing in South Africa as not some movie fantasy but as a very real instance of populations at war with themselves, even if in the early stages. Within the US it is shaping up that the Coastal Elite, Beltway Establishment & Bureaucratic Infrastructure, National Security Apparatus & Intel Agencies, Military Leadership, Democrat Party, Tech Politburo, Legacy Media, Academia, a bulk of the NGO’s & Non-profits, Legal societies, and all the way down to the foot soldiers of Antifa and BLM view Conservatives as a minority portion of the population worth targeting to build a sense of unity among themselves.
Earlier I asked what this targeting looks like in 3-4 years as ideas only grow more radical and the divide only deepens. Does the Summer of 2020 become a bi-monthly event in which the left gets together to raid, attack, and destroy a few city centers here and there within Conservative districts? So far, these attacks have mainly been in Democrat-run cities. But what happens when they attack Jacksonville, Ft. Worth, Oklahoma City or other, perhaps smaller, Republican run cities and towns? After years of police exhaustion having dealt with these people and actions who will be left to police? Who really wants to be a police officer today anyway where just the perception of misconduct amplified by media can send you to jail? The future I see is less and less appealing and should we not have the fortitude and individual leadership on the right to correct our course I fear for the way people may be forced to live. We need leadership and we need guidance that is actively working for the benefit of American Liberty and Freedom.
And where we find it I do not know.
