How Many Times Can You Die for Liberty?
There is a place for the loud, the fiery, the ‘troops’ who stand at the Malheurs and the Bundy Ranches and the federal courthouses. They are needed. They are the front line of the fight, and when the siren call sounds, they answer. But there is also a place for those who choose to engage in a hundred smaller acts rather than the big, ultimate one. They work in the shadows, they are willing to be the faceless, nameless cog in the machine; they are willing to be the stop on the underground trail, the safe house, the gray man behind the scenes. They are willing to learn what they do not know, train in what they cannot yet do, and be whatever is needed. They do not seek the glory of giving it all for liberty; they seek the quiet knowledge that even if the world never learns their name, they have contributed their lives, their character and their actions to the beautiful ideal of freedom. They are the resistance. And the movement needs far more of them.

I have saved a copy of Ms. Lange's article, so that the next time I get so down and ready to uproot my life to move south, I can read it and shout, "why the hell SHOULD I BE THE ONE TO MOVE???" After all, I have been a participant in The Armed Civil Disobedience of Non-Compliance in Kommiecticut since 1994, and a very vocal one since 2013. I have been doing the "DEFY-DECEIVE-EVADE-RESIST-SMUGGLE" thing since then, so I guess in my own small way I am one of those "gray man behind the scenes" types. Suits me fine, because I believe much "damage" can be done behind the scenes without officials seeing my mug on the TV news toting a rifle.
But don't be fooled, if the SHTF, I will do what may be necessary to prevent taking a dirt nap.
One gray man who comes to mind is John Honeyman. He was a line-crosser during the Revolution who fed disinformation to Cornwallis and was instrumental in Washington's victories at Trenton and Princeton.
Hi Mike,
'Read your post. 'Clicked on it and read....everything. 'Not much I can say other than this is definitely "Required reading!!!!" I was yet to be even thought of when Hans and Sophie Died. When I was their age we were involved in the Indo-Chinese War games!! I got tossed into the middle of that. Here now, I look back at my times and Hans and Sophie's times as being from a "Galaxy, Far, Far away."........Until all you have to do is "Look Around!!!"... The only thing that changes is the Year and Make and Model of the Car.
Got Gunz........OUTLAW!!!!,

To paraphrase Anonymous, We are legion. Despite efforts to aggregate us, pigeonhole us, license us, and exclude us, we will be there when needed. Our minds are our own. Our bodies belong to a higher power. Until we breathe our last, we will oppose tyrannical imposition of totalitarianism. We are Americans.
I would like to point out here that so labeled keyboard commandos are a needed entity. Though often derided and belitted, spreading the blessing of Liberty itself far and wide on this thing we call the interwebs is an important cog in the propaganda arena. Sometimes it is all a person can muster and it idle certainly better than not mustering anything at all.
We all know everything we do online is recorded and that large amounts of content have algorithms applied. It's nice to send a message to government in terms of new forearms purchased. It is just as sweet for government intrusions upon our information to show them just how many of us are willing to defend the cause of freedom if only from our fingertips to their warrantless searches.
Fight the fight on all fronts fellas! Yes, you too gals!
Spot on, in every way!
Well, once you cross certain lines, you can never go back. The Feds and locals already conspired to kill me, they failed but have never relinquished their purpose.
And it is after all those who voice how much they're willing to lose that form the essential communication of the idea of resistance. Let's not deceive ourselves, those openly willing to die are the prerequisite for all other resistance to exist as anything more than secret, passive desire.
But for resistance to have hope of victory, you need someone who's willing to do more than just die.
You need those who are willing to kill, and keep on killing until the enemy is entirely dead.
With or without anyone else's approval, because we know we won't get any until victory is brought within reach by the killing we do.
...Patiently prepping, training,learning new skills, collecting intel while it is still "out there", finding like minded souls all part of the times we live in...
That is a spot on assessment of a "resistance"...When I boxed I used head movement more than most do. I always had the theory of: why should I take the chance of being hurt early when not getting hit will keep me in this fight a lot longer and then, I know, my moment will come. The crowd may not like it as much as two idiots standing toe to toe bashing the living crap out of each other, but I'm not an idiot; I came here to win, not put on a show..
I hope to live long enough to see these traitors who infest our government and their crony and shill accomplices, have the rope of justice used with the tree of liberty to repay them for their treachery!!!!!

Chiu ChunLing, you are exactly correct. Well said.
Sign me, Neal Jensen
Interesting to see this from a friend of Gavin Seim, who publicly attacked Oregon III% for being "cowards" and "loyalists" since we urged caution and did not immediately jump in with Bundy. I couldn't agree more with Kit, I'm glad someone is saying it. Getting yourself killed by bad tactics is no way to win the war.
