FDTD – Chapter 12: Facing Dictatorships Realistically

I was able to get my study in last night and identified 4 key thoughts to underline. Here are the shots of all 4. We'll walk through them below.

2) Dictatorships collapse when subjects confront them with adequate force. While they're often thought of as impregnable, they can't withstand concerted political, economic, and social defiance. Let's add, by non-violent legal means.

3) In the light of the Election Steal of 2020, it was hard for me to read this chapter focusing on my own county. The DC Swamp is 100% dependent upon our silent complicity, our complete complacency, that I just couldn't read this without my nation as a whole in mind.

4) Work with me on this. Stick tight. Picture that you're at the top step of a stairwell, your last step up, but you don't realize this. You take one more step up and you're like to fall all the way back down. I have another example to share.

5) You're a damn fine boxer and have an amazing right hook. Left jab...jab, jab, you dance away from and back at your enemy thinking you've softened him up with your jabs and you go in for the right hook knockout blow. He knew you would and evades. You swing at nothing but air.

6) Worse still, the referee is crooked, completely bent. Imagine you not only connected but threw the greatest knockout punch of your life, boom, down he goes. The ref calls the fight for him, due to some technical mumbo jumbo he made up in the moment. He cannot let you win.

7) That’s exactly what happened on 6 January 2021. The MAGA Movement won the greatest landslide in American history and had that victory stolen. Why? Why did they do that? While because the could matters, it was far more urgent than that.

8) They have read Gene Sharp. They know perfectly well that they have to keep the blanket over our eyes. If we ever discover that we can topple them by means of non-violent, legal, political defiance, their goose is cooked. They had to cheat and steal the election. Couldn't not.

9) Reading Sharp’s 1993 analysis is like taking a slow motion, stop action video of our America today. He tells us that we on the right are too weak to cause our tyrant serious problems. The Swamp has an unimaginable concentration of wealth and power. Happy, they scoff at us.

10) Allow me to turn to the Buddha for a moment. He taught us these 4 Noble Truths:

1) All life is suffering.
2) Suffering has a cause.
3) The cause is ignorant craving.
4) There is a cure; it is the Noble 8-Fold Path.

11) Sadly, we can't explore the Noble 8-Fold Path today. If you're interested, please do some research. It is one of the most practical, powerful healing paths that any spiritual tradition in history has ever offered. We have to return to Sharp's work right now.

12) The reason I shared the Buddha's 4 Noble Truths is this. We are suffering as a nation right now. Our suffering has a cause. It is our ignorant craving for freedom that IS free, as opposed to that freedom where we are ready to pay the price. And Sharp gives a 4-Step Path.

13) Sharp gives us these tasks:

1) Strengthen the oppressed population's determination, confidence, and resistance skills.
2) Strengthen independent groups and institutions.
3) Create a POWERFUL resistance force.
4) Develop a grand strategic plan and implement it skillfully.

14) In the rest of his book, Sharp will show us precisely how to do these things. His track record in the real world is simply stunning. His guidance succeeds. It has been tested and proven again and again. It is critical that we accord him the credibility he is due.

15) That we grant this credibility is critical for this reason. We must know that we can do this, right here in America, in our hellacious moment where the reality of our Post-Constitutional existence has been demonstrated to us beyond the shadow of the slightest doubt.

16) It is the mission of the left to blind us, hoodwink and coddle us into believing we are still free when we have actually become enslaved. A nation without the integrity of the vote has no free speech. A nation where speech is not protected is enslaved. It is that simple.

17) There can be no doubt. While the vote is diseased, America cannot heal. The real cure is as clear as it is simple. We must repeal the 16th & 17th Amendments. Can that occur now? No chance. One day? Maybe. But be clear. We lost Election 2020 in 1913. It just took 107 years.

18) What do we do now? FDTD gives us the answer in full. But here in chapter 1 Sharp offers us a single principle upon which all hinges. Liberation depends upon the people’s ability to liberate themselves. The people must be able to pay the price of purchase for their freedom.

19) Return with me to the days of our founding fathers. It wasn't just Britain we had to defeat. It was Spain, and France, and every other aspiring nation desirous of colonial territories. Our Revolution was not merely against our Crown. It was against all future comers too.

20) From then till now, we've always understood that we had a geopolitical global target on our foreheads. We have fought every war for our freedom that it required us to fight, and perhaps a few more for good measure. This we got right.

21) What we got wrong was the failure to embrace Ephesians 6: 12.

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

22) You've heard before that every generation must purchase its freedom so that it may pass it down to the next. Rinse and repeat. You know this. We all do. Yet, we do NOT live this way. We assume our freedom, most especially blind to the powers within our nation stealing it.

23) This is precisely what we've gotten wrong about our 2nd Amendment. A well-ordered militia is not a difficult concept to comprehend. Any study at all and you'll rapidly blunder into the Latin term Posse Comitatus. This is the deputization of each citizen, in service to law.

24) My fellow Americans, we MUST be resolved, ready, capable, and willing to stand tall and speak boldly as we ought to speak. We must face down our internal tyrants, our domestic enemies seeking to remove our freedoms from the face of this Earth.

25) The ability to do this by way of non-violent, legal means is the great hope that Sharp gives us. We can succeed. We must. We shall.

That's what I say as I continue my study of Sharp's guidance.

What say you?
