What happened from that? One Bundy dead, and the others got prison.
The Organ stand off was another good one, right? What happened there? Nothing. Yeah, the government temporarily backed off, but they had time on their hands, and time won.
The last great show of force by people was the Battle of Athens. Outside of that, I am not aware of another success story.
I want faith in Americans, but I struggle to find it. Please, unironically, help me.
Oregon was a completely separate affair from the actual Bundy stand off in Arizona. They were trying to gain that ground swell of support in Oregon but it just wasn't there and yes the FBI took that opportunity to kill one of them when no one else was around.
None of that means the Arizona stand off was not a success.
Well, I know it’s not much but my loose definition of success is “Not Waco” and “Not Ruby Ridge.”
That's not unfair, but name me those successes outside of what I already mentioned.
It’s been a while but the Battle of Athens comes to mind, also there was an event in Tennessee where a group of armed veterans and citizens over threw a town of corrupt government officials. The rest I can think of were small events where armed neighbors prevented government agents from evicting one their own, the stories make the rounds but never make it into the news. If I can remember some sources I’ll edit to add here.
The American government works like jews. They test and prod and fill whatever extra space they can fill before they test and prod some more. They use fear as their primary weapon, the FBI, the IRS, Homeland Security. The American people are generally law abiding, so they comply and comply and comply until one day, they don't. Right now, they're trying the vaccine mandate on for size, but the end goal is contact tracing.
I think it is simply a matter of time before large swaths of the country become defiant. I already see it when I talk to people out in the wild. People are done with this.
