Some thoughts from the Author:
I’m hoping that most everyone is paying attention to what’s been happening in Wisconsin. At the moment, we have a Governor that is trying to save his state from default; we have minority party legislators who have fled the state rather than be present (and therefore create a quorum) and enable their opponents to vote as the people would desire.
That isn’t what should be most concerning, despite the noise that protesters are putting up, children taken out of school, whole school districts closed due to ‘teachers calling in sick.’ What is most concerning is that the President is effectively committing sedition, actively taking a role in funding the interference in a state to govern itself effectively and legally. Obama’s Organizing for America, the remains of his 2008 election campaign, is directly and admittedly involved in the situation.
From a sharp and clear voice on another forum, I submit for your consideration:
“S-E-D-I-T-I-O-N
–noun
1. incitement of discontent or rebellion against a government.
2. any action, especially in speech or writing, promoting such discontent or rebellion.
3. Archaic . rebellious disorder.
OBAMA, our currently sitting POTUS, is not only inciting this with words and deeds, he's ******** FUNDING IT! HE IS DIRECTLY INTERFERING WITH THE STATE OF WISCONSIN'S SOVEREIGN RIGHT TO GOVERN. I also believe that Obama helped orchestrate the acts of the Wisconsin Democrats and probably funded their 'escape' to the Illinois resort and their transportation to that resort....”
Organizing for America is also actively looking at spreading this type of activity to other states that are looking to pare back on benefits paid to public employees and their unions by the taxpayers.
The problem is that most states haven’t been keeping up on these employee union obligations for years. Many years. My own state included.
Now, please consider this: If anyone believes that events in Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Bahrain, Jordan, Djibouti, Kuwait, Baghdad and Teheran and across half of Europe are unrelated to events in the United States of America, you need to step back and reconsider things. If you've read my works, you know I really don't believe in coincidences.
Destroying the ability of a state to govern, and then another and another, leaving only the Federal Government, provides a very bleak path to a Night of Long Knives. (Some of you will get that reference immediately. Others, please Google it).
I would encourage all of the readers of these stories to take stock of your situation, honestly. It appears to me that time is short. Very short, should some have their way.
This is how economies collapse, how assassinations take place, and how civil wars start.
If I'm wrong, you might have more preps set aside, another scattergun or three, or you might think I'm full of manure.
I'm perfectly OK with all of those. But from where I sit, I really don't like what I see coming.

Mr. Sherry:
ReplyDeleteI've been reading your fiction from Deep Winter through to the present. Partly because they are well-written, interesting stories but also because your scenarios present what I view as realistic paths to our country's self-destruction. With NASA's warnings about massive solar flares coming between now and 2013 and the deliberate efforts by our federal government to make us all totally dependent I fear we may not have the ability to find a way back - as the various families and communities do in your stories. I pray that God may have mercy on us.
Mr. Sherry:
ReplyDeleteI read your comments on the recent events and I absolutley agree with you! My question in where can I go (I live in Alex, va), and how do I begin to prepare? I have a sister in WVA and have begun to talk to her about preparing but I don't think she really gets it. I have limited resources but believe that doing something is better than doing nothing. Thank you for your insight and inspiration.
With the Wheels on, the power base behind what is about to occur knows what NASA knows, and every other source of info, more so that we do even. What is coming is planned to not allow us to find a way back. A mostly hidden group wants no more than 500 million people left on this planet(TOTAL among ALL nations), and this is supposed to work towards that goal. In their eyes, 12/13 of us need to die.
ReplyDeleteThe US leadership threw God out years ago, why would He help us? He is allowing it because the US pushed Him out.
I to am a big fan of your writing. Thank you for your time and effort that you put into your books. I cannot find fault with what you have said and hole heartedly agree with it. I am so looking forward to reading this next one but while waiting I intend to go back through the first three. I am suprised not of the mess we are in but that we are still standing. I never thought we could hold it together this long. I suppose that we have only made it this far by the grace of God. I try to use your writings to show our small group, kin and friends, that there is a way through this coming collapse. They can be used as a take off for lessons. May God bless you and your family. mwp
ReplyDeleteAn idea for part of a story: I like to indulge in mental exercises for what we (my otwn)would need to do to partially divert the flow of the Golden Horde out of Chicago, from our town. We don't have access to HE, however, we have a host of skilled machine operators in town and heavy equipment. We can remove the center spans of bridges or collapse them all together. If you can keep vehicles from crossing to your location that goes a long way to mitigating the amount of force that can be brought to bear against you. Make it easier to turn around or go around to a different town.
ReplyDeleteIt's like the old saw, "If you are being chased by a lion, you don't hav eto be the fastest runner, you just have to be faster than the slowest runner." You have to make it harder to get to your resources than the next available opportunity, most people like water are going to take the path of least resistance.
I love the stories, I make it part of my daily routine to check and see if there are any updates. Thanks.
Sadly, the conclusion is inescapable.
ReplyDeleteThe question I've asked literally hundreds (perhaps thousands, by now) of times since the current regime was coronated is this:
"If they were - deliberately - TRYING to bring our Republic to its knees, what would they do differently?"
I've yet to receive a satisfactory answer.
The conclusions are simply inescapable.
Picked up another 2k rifle rounds and ~900 pistol last weekend, seeking for more this weekend. Still short on mags for what will probably be my new "go-to" rifle and the new Saiga-12... Need to do something about that, and soon...
Something horrible is coming - I can smell the stench of death on the wind, as I am sure many others can as well.
God help us -- and God Save Our Republic!

That pesky Constitution says that sedition is just fine. It was written at a time when speaking against the king could land you in prison.
ReplyDeleteFortunately, in America, we recognize people's inherent right to be discontented with our government, and their inherent right to tell other's about their discontent.
Messy, but it seems to work!
