This is a great real-life story of government reformation by locals who were fed up with their local-corrupt politicians. This took place in August of 1946. Many of the men who took up arms were returning veterans. Read more here. The story was made into a Hallmark movie in 1992. I watched it and liked it. I seem to recall an older film from the fifties or sixties. Maybe someone knows.
Do not do this. This is what the Democrats/communists want. Red Dawn is just a fiction not a manual for reclaiming your country. They will crush you like bugs and use your resistance efforts to take more power. If I were writing a Tom Clancy fiction to deal with a massive pro-communism takeover by the left I would cast individual patriots who would assassinate enemies one at a time rather than some form of civilian "army". It would make a great story with 1000 or 2000 patriots all acting independently (so if captured they would have no information to give up) and each of them targeting anti-American politicians and lawyers (yes lawyers, who do you thing is pulling the strings?). I just might write the book if Trump wins. If he loses I will be too busy struggling to live, get food and necessities.
ReplyDeleteWhen trapped behind enemy lines and cut off from all comms just kill anything communist.......
DeleteYou believe this is not the time to take up arms?
DeleteWhen, pray tell, is that time?
Now is the time!
Do not shoot 'til you see the demons eyes!
Will there be another ruckus like this? we will find out soon.
ReplyDeleteI've ridden through Athens on my way to Tail of the Dragon.
ReplyDeleteBet this is one historical event that they NEVER teach in school.
ReplyDeleteMy brother lives in Athens and had never heard about it until I told him a couple of years ago.
DeleteThat, the bonus army story, and Lexington and Concorde prove they will not go quietly.
ReplyDeleteThere's also at least one non-faction short story about it which I read sometime in the 00's.

After seeing the so-called "Continuity Of Government" drill with helos on the White House lawn from last weekend, I think the plan is to dispute when Trump wins, then imbed some agents provocateur in the rightfully pissed off crowd then stage some real violence to give TPTB the excuse to do what they want. As admirable as the Battle of Athens is, they WANT some of us on the Right to pop off.
ReplyDeleteCept most people are patient fed boy, we gonna let the great chimp out do their dirty work first. Some time later all the dorners will activate.
DeleteMy wife's maternal side of the family are from Athens TN. She had a couple uncles involved in the battle.

Book overview
When establishing the fundamental principles of our great nation, our founders incorporated into them an understanding of the Liberty they sought to secure. An Individual Liberty that is natural, "endowed by our Creator," and for which we are indebted to no man for. In establishing our "limited" Constitution and the Republic it ordains, they incorporated an understanding of both what threatens that Liberty and the means by which "designing men" may undermine them. How many of us today have such an understanding of either? Do we know and have an understanding of the fundamental principles upon which that Individual Liberty--our only true earthly freedom, prosperity, and the "pursuit" of any independent happiness--are even possible? If we don't, how are we to recognize what threatens it, who or what has targeted it for destruction, or how close we are to losing it for generations to come, if not forever?
It is with these things in mind, and a father's concern for the very freedom of his children, that a decade-long research was launched: Last Call for Liberty is the result. There is a truth even in the deception that seeks to abolish it. A free people who wish to remain so should know both. It's an epiphany worth careful consideration and, in the sacred cause of Liberty, an absolute necessity, not just for ourselves but, even more importantly, for Posterity and Freedom itself.
