‘Ol Remus, on the power of the middle class:

“..So, what would happen if the middle class revolted? Consider the nearly unfixable damage a few Edward Snowden-like IT managers could do. Or how freight trains loaded with, say, high energy chemicals could be misrouted. Or the well-equipped home workshops of engineers who design military drones. In some cases not doing something can be just as damaging. Think of the power grid, then imagine some overlooked maintenance with unexpectedly huge effects, or how a small misstep in charging a natural gas pipeline could detonate the whole thing. Count the number of bridges over the Mississippi, there aren’t that many. Imagine what heavily loaded barges could do to the supports if mishandled. Consider something as simple as mislabeled fuel at a transportation center. Or an airport. All these things are under the direct control of the middle class…”

    You see the damage a bunch of brain-dead ferals rioting can cause.

    Multiply that by a LOT…

    :evil: don’t start me up ..all legal and very easy to obtain.

    There is the true fear of the elite! That’s not mentioning the millions of firearms some of amazing power and the tens of thousands of rounds of ammo.

      Yup,where I live hundreds of rifles,pistols,shotguns and thousands of rounds of ammo is just the congregation of one Church :mrgreen:

    Don’t need a “well-equipped home workshop” to build a drone. An arduino, a GPS, a model plane, and – I dunno – some anthrax or uranium ore or whatever will do the trick.

    Imagine what heavily loaded barges could do to the supports if mishandled

    Assuming nobody sets the cargo alight, bridges on navigable rivers shouldn’t collapse if hit by a boat…

    Consider something as simple as mislabeled fuel at a transportation center. Or an airport.

    Now you’re talking. Or a bit of thermite at the bottom of a pylon. So what you really want are engineers. Just like most of the 9/11 terrorists & the best PLO & IRA people.

    So what’s new?

  5. The Gantt Guy says:

    Remus is quite right, but here’s the thing: our political overlords know full-well that the “middle class” could quite easily upend the entire apple cart and have their heads on spikes in about an hour and a half.

    So, while they despise us, they know they can’t squeeze too tight. They seem to have found the perfect-sized pen for us; just big enough that most of us can go about our daily lives without realising we’re in a pen and being slowly bled, and sufficiently small that they can monitor us and continue to bleed us.

    The “middle class” remains too proud of what we’ve accomplished and attained, and nowhere near angry or hungry enough to set a fuse to the entire system. For make no mistake, if the “middle class” were to decide enough is enough it wouldn’t just be a few politicians and bureaucrats despatched via the injection of a small amount of lead travelling at high velocity through their amygdala. There will be no moderation, no middle-ground. If we blow, the entire system will be gone.

    And we’re still too comfortable to light that match.

  6. The Gantt Guy says:

    Oh, and also – I hope the middle class in Missouri are armed to the teeth. If the Grand Jury refuses to indict, or if the officer who shot Michael Brown isn’t tried, convicted and hanged on the Courthouse lawn, it will make the riots seen thus far look like a ladies’ quilting circle. It will be Los Angeles 1994 all over again.

    That says it all about our current state. We are NOT free men and women.
    And those who claim we are, are dishonest or thick – or so uninformed they mistake the illusion for the reality.
    And then there are those who sense the reality of it but regard the cost of breaking out of the pen as too high. Especially since they’d be benefitting those too fucking selfish and/or apathetic to even take an interest in the question of liberty.
    Withdraw. Ignore where possible. Refuse to participate in the fascist window-dressing known as elections. Sabotage wherever possible, in any way possible, no matter how small.

    Remus says much better what I’ve been saying since 2008: That the revolution would begin when the white middle class majority in this country is pushed too far, too fast.

    This is, I think, Obama plan from Day One in office. A good Marxist-Leninist he knows he cannot have totalitarian control over the United States with his black minority and tiny band of white Leftist useful fools. The solution, I think, in his mind is to keep pushing the buttons designed to totally piss off the WASPs and goad them into open insurrection that he thinks he can easily crush with Homeland Security storm troopers and militarized local police.

    The fatal flaw in the plan is as Remus indicates, a pissed off WASP majority will rollover any force Obama can send against it, always assuming that millions of local and federal storm troopers do their evil empire duty – clearly many would take the opportunity to join the opposition and others would decide to go fishing.

    In Ferguson, Missouri recently we witness to a low I.Q. black thug riot of a few thousand that took all the king’s horses and all the king’s weeks to put down…Now think of what a middle class WASP rebellion could do to the Imperial Federal Government. :evil:

    On a personal note – and call me weird, if you will, but for years I’ve had the feeling that a revolution in America would break out in my lifetime…It seems to me as if God as had certain things happen to me to push me into the role of a revolutionary. We’ll see in the 30 months if I’m right, as the clock ticks away Obama’s time in office.

    It took so long only because they couldn’t use the force levels and methods they’d use against middle-class whites, Ronbo.

    • mawm says:

      That is exactly how I see it. Those militarised cops would have slaughtered any rioting whites.

      The middle class in the UK have rolled over to the bureaucrats. The Rotherham report is out – 1400 kids, some as young as 11, have been raped and abused by Muslim gangs – and those responsible for letting this happen are refusing to resign. The indigenous people should be out there with their pitchforks and hemp rope rounding up the bureaucrats and the abusers and stringing them up in their 1000’s. :evil:

      Fifty other such investigations are currently underway in different areas.

      • KG says:

        This is cowardice and betrayal on a massives scale. I just pray that should there be insurrection every damn lamp post will be decorated with these bastards. :evil:

        • mawm says:

          The leader of the Council has resigned………..but no mention of charges for criminal neglect for those who knew about it nor a country-wide sweep for the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators for sadistic sexual crimes against children, rape and threats of physical violence, etc. Nope, too hard too do and it might just upset the protected species ….. and none of them are called Ralph/Cliff anyway.

  10. KG says:

    The leader of the council has resigned, but I’m willing to bet that he/she will be re-employed elsewhere in a similar drone “job”.

    • KG says:

      By now the media has lost interest and the bastards will get away with it, Gantt.

    • mawm says:

      By now those records have been altered. It took them some time, but they are now confident that they have been scrubbed of all references to the WH.

  11. KG says:

    Nothing to see here……
