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!
I get the message that Anon is trying to send, and agree with what has been said. If there is ANY kind of violent resistance (aka men standing around with rifles), you can expect the powers that be to come rushing in with the full force of the military, and national guard. The incident will be used like 9/11 to enact egregious and unconstitutional laws, you can even expect Martial Law to be activated in 'portions' of the country. It absolutely is what they want to happen, as it will be the excuse for them to 'let loose the leash' on their final totalitarian moves.
DeleteWhere I disagree w/ the original poster, is that this is to be avoided. Yes, that sounds counter-intuitive, but only if you expect there to be a different solution to this morass. There isn't one. We either fight back, or get on our knee's. This election IS that moment.
You can kneel. But do it in the front please, so I can hide behind your corpse while shooting back, ya Pussy!
It simply depends on if you want to win or show off. If you want to show off grab you guns, have a few beers for courage and you and your fat buddies gather in the open shouting and throwing rocks at the police threatening to shoot them. I guarantee you it will end with you dead or in jail and accomplishing nothing. If you want to win or as I said if I were writing a Clancy novel I would have the hero's use trickery and anonymity to get themselves into a position to send the enemy leaders to meet their god swiftly and surely even at the risk of getting caught. Multiply this by 1000 or 2000 and the "communist" leaders are all pushing up poppies. This is not easy and not as much fun as running around with your drunk buddies showing off your guns but it is more effective. There will be those on both sides who would object to an assassination. But ask yourself what was the shotting of Bryan Malinowski but an assassination by our government. The ATF wanted a flashy arrest, they wanted the headlines and if that meant shooting an innocent person in his own home so what!! Just as they shot Randy Weaver's wife not because he was dangerous or any real threat but because it was going to be good headlines for them. Or when 70 ATF agents raided the Waco Branch Davidian complex because it was going to make a splash in the headlines. They could have arrested him in town without a shot fired but what fun is that when you are trained as a SWAT team??? SO your government has been assassinating citizens for years, it is literally SWAT policy!
DeleteSo just understand the choice it to show off and lose or to win. Your choice.
IMHO there is more to this to understand and beware of. Look at Ukraine, untold numbers of 18-50 something killed and 10 times more seriously wounded. It is so bad they are grabbing men off the street and are about to make it legal to draft children and women. I believe that the global elite intend a massive war with a few attacks on American homeland (think Pearl Harbor) to make sure that we are "all in". By all in I mean that we "patriots" will run down to the recruitment centers and join up and when the draft is implemented we won't go to Canada. The result will be a purge of patriot men (just as in Ukraine) and it will be by design. They won't draft the druggies or rapists or the guys who loot stores or any of the tens of millions of military age illegal immigrants! Noooo! They will take the best and the brightest because they make the best soldiers. And for all of the women who are voting for Harris just understand that it will be your husband or boyfriend that goes to war and dies and after all is said and done you will have very little quality men to choose from and you may even be forced to wear a burka before this is all over. And for those who will not see what is happening and rush to join the war your daughters will be wearing a burke too because YOU didn't stay home and protect them...
DeleteIts also legal to kill you in Hospitals…
DeleteYeah…
You read that right…

Violence begets violence, whether you shoot first or in return. Mahatma Gandhi drove the British Empire out of India by refusing to to obey.
DeleteI propose that in large numbers quit paying for what we didn't authorize. If we don't pay taxes, they can't put us all in jail and we win without a blood bath.
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.
DeleteDitto. Live 30 minutes north of there, never heard of it until I moved. Gee, wonder why? Prolly same reason they don't read Orwell or Huxley any more.
DeleteExactly. The absence of this story in history books and a lot of important of historical events such as this is not accident. Stories of perseverance, fighting and winning against insurmountable odds, etc., form young minds to know right from wrong, just causes vs. meaningless wars. The regime doesn't want that. The DOE figureheads know this and do everything in their power to subdue such historical triumphs. That is exactly why important events such a "The Battle of Athens", monuments, are ignored, erased, and removed from the history of The United States. It is tragic.
DeleteI made an almost identical post in 2012 and the responses (only 5) were quite different . Of course, the political climate was somewhat different at the end of Jobama's first term. I had just started bloggin with Irish and came across the story on another blog. I had never heard of it either.

As for Anon's initial comment, no one said anything about doing "this". I read the comment as an attempt to paint this as something it is not. That, or Anon has grossly underestimated the readership of this blog. Either way it is story from history where good guys saw something broken and took measures to rectify the problem. This one fortunately had a "happy ending".
That, 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.

count dankula did a really good in depth cover of this..

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.
DeleteWinner winner chicken dinner, Anon!
DeleteMy wife's maternal side of the family are from Athens TN. She had a couple uncles involved in the battle.
ReplyDeleteLast Call for Liberty
ReplyDeleteJoe Marshall
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.

There's a YouTube video short about it I just watched yesterday
ReplyDeleteI was born in Athens and grew up nearby. My 3rd grade teacher told us the story and brought in newspaper clippings showing the aftermath of the battle. I ended up talking to several older men from my church/community who were involved. They were all WWII combat vets. After facing down Hitler and Tojo, they weren’t going to put up with a tin pot tyrant in their own home town.
