Before we begin I wish to state here and now that I DO NOT speak for anyone except myself; I speak only as a 'pop gun' America Soldier of no consequence, I speak only as an insignificant but loyal American; I speak only as an American who believes in America First. As always I encourage each and everyone of you to get involved, but always remember to THINK FOR YOURSELF.

Head bang with Sixx Sense on 'The Brew' from my hometown, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma....

'There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.' ~Niccolo Machiavelli

I won't waste your time showing you the screen captures that I know you all have seen, but the recent buzz in the American Press has of course been the Back Room talk of a 'Preventive Dictatorship' to forestall someone else doing it first, now don't act all surprised that conversation is taking place; America knew that the present 'meta government' and 'meta Congress' doesn't talk about fight club. America knew that the way this 'meta government' operates is in total secrecy, even the late DMJohnston promised to revive the 'Pony Express' and what did America get? Nada.

The other day I lost 200 CC to a fellow Comrade. The day the 'Dictator Module' come online I bet him that Henry Pfeiffer Arundel would start a Civil War before day change on March 1, I said he wouldn't be able to resist the medal. Now of course everyone knows what happened, yep without even knowing what was going on; he stabbed me in the back and failed at...well...being Pfeiffer -I also said the 'Nameless One' might see his chance, but alas he also failed miserably.

It is quite apparent that this 'meta government' thinks in evil terms. The question they posed was, 'What is the best way to violently overthrow America to prevent an enemy from doing so?' It is my belief and I think it is the belief of most members of the Socialist Freedom Party that the question posed should have been, 'What is the best way to defend America and retain our freedom and democracy -such as that is- against a Civil War attempt by an enemy?'

Posing such questions is what organizations such as the Secret Committee on Intelligence (SCI) is supposed to be doing, posing scenarios is how you plan and in and of itself is not treasonous; however when the SCI does so in the Cloak Room over fat Cigars and Whisky out of sight of the American public and that scenario directly contemplates violent overthrow of America -that is treasonous. American citizens find themselves in a precarious situation, I may be facing decisions I don't even want to think about.

The reason they chose the question they did is because they all know there isn't any CC in the National Reserve, they know that if an attack comes from the outside they will be unable to defend against it; anyone who believes there is even 1 cc left in the Reserves is foolish -they have proven time and time again that they care only for their 'power cabal'. How many times must they drive their knives into America's back before we as citizens go all Howard Beale and say, 'I am mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!'

'To fight and conquer in all our battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.' ~SunTzu

On day 2660 I woke up to Civil War raging outside my cabin window, to which I had retreated to percolate on the state of affairs. Stepping onto my screened in porch with my gun in one hand and my rifle in the other, I looked to my right and on the hill in distance I saw the Stars & Stripes; looking to my left I spied the 13 Star Wreath of my Comrades in Arms. WAT? Decided to sit down and light a 😛ipe: and try to determine WTF! How the FN h*** did we get here?

After several bowls I decided that it all began with the split between the military and the 'power cabal' presently in charge of the 'meta government', that the height of America's world influence was in the era of the 'Three Pillars'; that we as American citizen are pretty much screwed. It is obvious to anyone who is involved in this game that our present 'meta government' could care less what America wants, their only concern is the enrichment of their 'power cabal' -IMO- to the tune 15-20 million in tax revenue.

Personally, I see this little dust up as a test run, sorta like licking your finger and holding it up to see which way the wind is blowing; hell even after sticking my toe in the water I still don't know the temperature. Where does the heartbeat of America lay? Unfortunately I am not a soothsayer, so I will make no predictions on where that location may be; but if you're a citizen whose heart beats for freedom and democracy then join the Socialist Freedom Party and the Bear Cavalry.

REVOLT AMERICA!

Auto pole is not valid.

Jimmy Cincinnati Day 2,661, 17:22

Very interesting content.

Franklin Stone Day 2,661, 17:30

Thank you, Comrade.

Julian Caesar Day 2,661, 17:27

Interesting, to say the least.

Don Croata Day 2,661, 17:32

There's no place for real life politics in this game.
Yes, it might gives you some extra motive to play, then it's fine, but once you start to insist on RL politics "methods", economy and other things then there's simply no place for it.

I haven't read the article carefully, just wanted to point this ^ out.

Use game mechanics to do best you can, that's all.

was here!

Don Croata Day 2,661, 17:33

Oh and..voted because it's good to see people still care for something in this game. Have fun!

Don Croata Day 2,661, 19:31

I wasn't actually talking about the Dictatorship, it's something I wouldn't agree with if I was US player, you simply don't need a Dictatorship over here.

Since I haven't really read the article carefully I'm not even sure what it's talking about, but just wanted to point out that using RL in here wouldn't get anyone far away. RL such as "We must use communes! - Because communism" or anything similar.

Yes and no Don Croata. why did gov choose to use the threat of Serbian use of dictatorship as a weapon against us, why not Greek, or Turkey? Isn't it because it causes a gut level response in at least a few eAmericans? Certainly no indication that Serbia would be more of a threat in this regard?

There are some real life politics that don't influence the game, like if a party is left, right, center in description for all but a very small minority. But personal gut acceptance of some things is quantifiable and does influence the game. Pro or Con on Canadian war was largely from the gut. I remember fighting alongside some great Canadian players, you remember dealing with some idiot on the Canadian side, or perhaps came along after the golden age of us/Canadian broliance.

It will be interesting to see if the gut feelings on constitutional democracy vs. dictatorship has that gut type of reaction. I am a rl American, but from an ethnic background, maybe it does just have that gut appeal. It will be interesting to see. Perhaps I am an optimist, but I think Americans feel strongly about this.
