One Day? A Week? Or The Begining of the End?

Post by Col Hogan »

This Saturday, November 4th, a number of groups have called for protests...and the number of locations where people opposed the the Trump Administration are planning to protest continues to grow...

But this is not a call for one day of protest...it’s a call for continued protests until “the Trump/Pence Regime “ is gone...
We will gather in the streets and public squares of cities and towns across this country, at first many thousands declaring that this whole regime is illegitimate and that we will not stop until our single demand is met: This Nightmare Must End: the Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!

Our protest must grow day after day and night after night—thousands becoming hundreds of thousands, and then millions—determined to act to put a stop to the grave danger that the Trump/Pence Regime poses to the world by demanding that this whole regime be removed from power…
https://refusefascism.org/2017/08/06/th ... e-must-go/

Remember the “Occupy” movement back in 2011??? It was basically peaceful, although it did occupy some space illegally...

Now, to achieve their stated goal of removing “the whole regime” legally, they will have to protest for years...it’s not a process that will move quickly if it even gets started :roll:

Here’s the latest list of protest cities...
Take To The Streets And Public Squares
in cities and towns across the country continuing day after day and night after night—not stopping—until our DEMAND is met:
This Nightmare Must End:
The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!
In the Name of Humanity, We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America!

People need jobs.

I'm not saying unemployment is a problem. I'm just saying that these people need something to do with their lives. We have way too many professional protestors nowadays. True first-world-problems type people. Mommy and daddy need to kick them out of the basement.

Thank god Cheney didn't make the list. I have the Weber State game to attend! Deep fryer is coming out for some duck, crispy spuds, and onion rings. Buddy shot an elk so we'll be doing some satay as well. It's suppose to snow too so extra work setting up the walled tent and fire pits. I'm afraid I just won't have the time to fight fascism that day. Maybe I'll make the boys watch V for Vendetta on Sunday wrapped around NFL games. Just to make sure I do my part as a liberal and keep the neo nazis at bay...:thumb:

Are they sure they want to do this late in the fall?

Should of dropped 500 pounders on the Occupy dipshits when we had 'em all in one place. Might have prevented all this follow-on shit.

Have any of you read their list of nightmares? This gem made me chuckle
The truth bludgeoned—lies and more lies—critical thinking being destroyed in education and public discourse
:lol: Yeah- b/c it's Republican students, professors and newspapers shutting down anyone with an opposing view.

Also...did I miss when all of this happened?..
Millions—children, the elderly, disabled, the sick, the poor—denied healthcare, food assistance, the very right to live.

Colonel Hogan is spending too much time on left wing news sites...:lol:
The “news” story, which has since been embraced with irony as a meme on left-leaning social media circles, spawned from a joke posted Friday on the comedic Twitter account @KrangTNelson. It said: “can’t wait for November 4th when millions of antifa supersoldiers will behead all white parents and small business owners in the town square.” The post was meant to mock the “festering panic over an exceedingly fake Civil War plot for which thousands of FOX News grandparents may, at this very moment, be boarding up their windows in panicked preparation,” according to the anonymous person behind the Krang account, who wrote about the controversy he or she inadvertently started in a first-person story for VICE. Right-leaning accounts began to report the satirical tweet as being offensive, which led to the temporary suspension of @KrangTNelson’s account on Twitter.


Gateway Pundit, a well-trafficked right wing blog that “has 15 million visits each month,” by its own account, ran with it, reporting the joke as a straightforward news story with the headline, “ANTIFA Leader: “November 4th […] millions of antifa supersoldiers will behead all white parents.” Bill Mitchell, a pro-Trump personality and radio host with a sizable Twitter following of close to 300,000 people, picked up the story from The Gateway Pundit, and then tweeted it out in apparent earnestness. The Gateway Pundit story, authored by Lucian Wintrich, the website’s 29-year-old D.C. bureau chief, has been shared more than 40,000 times on Facebook. The page has also been blasted with over a thousand comments, some of them from people preparing for violence against the supersoldiers (who, remember—to be as explicit as humanly possible here—are not in any way real).

“Thank you for making your terroristic threats so unmistakable,” a commenter going by the name Irredeemable OC5150 wrote under the Gateway Pundit story. “Proves a lethal response is justified,” a commenter going by the name Dorsai1 replied. “Lock and load,” a commenter named Mark said.


Members of Refuse Fascism, the nascent protest group behind Saturday’s rallies, have expressed concerns to Newsweek that the bizarre readings of the November 4 protests by those on the right could lead to real-life violence, like what transpired in Charlottesville, Virginia on August 12, when anti-racist activist Heather Heyer was allegedly murdered by a white supremacist. In Austin, Texas, for example, local militias have threatened to show up to combat the antifa supersoldiers they believe are coming, according to social media posts and the accounts of Texas-based activists. To reiterate what has already been reported in Newsweek: Antifa (short for “antifascist”) is more of a style of protest targeting far-right groups than an outfit with any organizational hierarchy, according to academics and activists. Not only does “antifa” lack the capability or funding to breed supersoldiers, there is no organizational structure in place to order such a thing in the first place.

I got into a fistfight with a cowboy at the park in Omak shortly before the stampede. Afterwards he and his friends shared their beer with me because they didn't think a hippie would put up a fight. We were way out in the country between Omak and Conconully haying for a relative of my buddy's. Some of the folks that live out there might get into Omak twice a year but after that scuffle in the park more locals would smile or wave when they saw us on the road. Real cowboys are good people once they decide you're OK.

These folks are real hippies (not Silicon Valley hipsters pretending to be hippies for a weekend) and were doing Burning Man decades before Burning Man was a thing. I was taught how to hunt and fish by an uncle who used sell his pottery at barter fairs. He was 2nd wave at Iwo Jima and eventually retired to NE Washington to live off the land. He was a true American frontiersman and mountain man who hunted bear and cougars but I also remember having the complete works of Rudyard Kipling in his little library.

God bless the hippies. :nod:
