Americans of all politics are going to be faced with a very clear dilemma. In
the not too distant future, they will probably be forced to take sides in a
revolution agains the central government of the nation. And they're going to
have to learn how to get out of the way of a civil war.

Government should be "deriving their just powers from the consent of the
governed", but take a look at the nation today and tell me with a straight
face that this is the case. How long has that "train of abuses and
usurpations" become? How much have we been "reduced under absolute
despotism"? How many"multitudes of new offices", sending "swarms of officers
to harass our people, and eat out their substance" are there today?
Truthfully, we are more enslaved today than we were in colonial times.

The Declaration of Independence has never been repealed. It plainly states
that it is "the right of people to alter or to abolish" the government. This
is something you will see within the next 10 to 20 years. It will not happen
in a far off land, but among your very homes. Your children will learn of it
with their own eyes.

And in today's electronic world, the whole world will be watching. This
revolution SHALL be televised. And when the tyrants come... and history, if
it shows nothing else, shows that the tyrants will always eventually come ,
what then will you do? And what should you do NOW to prepare for that day?

So You Wanna Be A Hero

Maybe there are dreams dancing in your head about doing what Timothy McVeigh
did, only with less damage to human life, maybe a nice IRS building in the
middle of the night or something. Maybe you think one brazen explosive act,
timed at the right instant, will spark a revolution which will restore our
Consititutional republic, an act which people will in future textbooks regard
as "heroic".

Get over it. McVeigh didn't blow up the Murrah Building all by himself. He
was brainwashed by operatives in the government to participate, be there, and
take the fall. His single van COULDN'T have caused that level of damage. Very
probably, you will never be in such a position to do such an act, unless
you're an operative of the government.

Nor should you. Such acts are usually seen as direct attacks against the
American people. You do not want to do things which may seem spectacular, but
won't be well received. Remember, we're opposing tyrannical, out of control,
governments. We're not opposing America, we're defending America, and her
people.

Lay the Foundation

You REALLY want to do something for the revolution? You REALLY want to engage
in overt and covert acts which will eventually restore the Constitutional
government of the United States? You can. And it's relatively easy: anyone
can do it.

Lay the foundation for the revolution. There are several building blocks upon
which any successful revolution will be built. They are not dramatic. They do
not involve drawing attention to yourself. But they are critical to the
restoration of our freedoms. And they are things YOU can do. Begin laying
these foundations now.

First Order: Buy Guns

The first order I am giving you as the defacto revolutionary commander is,
buy guns. It doesn't really matter which guns: handguns, hunting rifles,
long range rifles, shotguns, antiques....any and all will do. It doesn't
really matter the premise. The only qualification is, buy arms which can be
fired, and arms for which ammunition can be easily acquired or made. If
you're poor, get cheap guns if you have to. Make sure you get the proper ammo
for them.

Do it now! Do it while you can, and do it while it is still legal for you to
do. In many states, such as California, where oppressive gun laws are likely
to increase, time is of the essence in stocking up. And in places like New
York, where house to house searches have sporadically begun over licensed
firearms, you're probably going to have to break New York State law. I'll
explain later why, even if you're law- abiding, breaking the law may actually
be called for.

Why Guns, Liz?

Right now, an estimated 240 million firearms are owned by 83 million
Americans. The most important thing you can do, either FOR the revolution or
for self-defense during the chaos, is to make sure that those 83 million
Americans CONTINUE to have ownership of firearms. And to increase their
number. That's why YOU should buy guns. I could give you hundreds of reasons
but let me give you just a handful.

Operatives within the various governments will do something....cause a
catastrophe, an emergency, or something, or take advantage of a naturally
occuring situation, which will require a form of national martial law.
Possibly elections would be suspended, or rigged. And the only thing standing
between success and failure of such a government takeover is a modern
American revolutionary army.

You won't have to cause the chaos. You won't have to fire the first shot. The
chaos will likely be caused by government operatives in order to enhance and
increase their power. Already, the Federal Emergency Management Adminstration
has plans on the drawing board to rule under regional martial law.

"But that CAN'T happen here!"

It already IS happening here. The various components of federal land grabs in
the West, done without the support of the local residents, the states, or
even the Congress, to which the response has been the so-dubbed "Western
Rebellion". The increase of forfeiture without trial, blantantly an
unconstitutional act. The Internal Revenue Service's own brand of "guilty
until proven innocent" justice and the many many government agencies which
have followed its example. Illegal strip searches of mostly black women at
Chicago's airports. And it's not just federal government agencies.
California Attorney General Bill Lockeyer already has plans on the drawing
board to do a house to house search for the first registered and now banned
SKS rifle.

New York State has officials out looking for the licensed weapons of people
who die, and whose heirs fail to reregister or surrender the weapons. New
York City police have done periodic house to house searches for firearms
already under Mayor Guiliani. So it already is happening here. In reality,
the first shots have already been fired. We already have our Crispus Attucks
in the form of the Weaver family. We already have our Patrick Henry in the
form of 88 Seventh-Day Adventists at Waco.

We, in point of fact, already have a set of governments, that in terms of
taxation and regulation, are FAR MORE OPPRESSIVE to the people than the
British were. The rebellion is the only thing left to fulfill. "But rebels
couldn't withstand the massive firepower of the U. S. Government!"

The sheer numbers of firearms in the hands of the American public would have
made the American commanders in Vietnam quake in their boots. Most of it is
pretty sophisticated stuff. The average hunter could give a platoon of
regular troops more grief than they want. The potential recruitment
population for a modern American revolutionary army would be 150 million,
compared to a maximum of 2 million government troops. Millions of these are
people with military or law enforcement training. And it's not just the arms:
it's the vehicles and the technology. A modern revolutionary army would be
one of the most numerous, best trained, best armed, most mobile, and most
high tech, probably in the history of the world.

And the government forces would use their high tech stuff on
whom? Who do they drop bombs on?

Which recruits will be counted on to obey the orders that bomb their home
cities, or the homes of their fellow platoon members. How many of those
troops will be willing to die for a government run amok? And possibly kill
their friends and families for it?

The Real Agenda Of Gun Control

This is the real intent of gun control: to neutralize that 83 million gun
owner army. To make its weapons difficult to purchase, and easy to
confiscate. It isn't about criminals. Janet Reno has only prosecuted 4 people
under the Brady laws out of thousands of people having "illegally" applied to
buy a firearm.

And keep in mind, that at the same time these people want to take our guns,
they also want to restrict our automobiles. Al Gore himself said he wanted to
do away with the internal combustion engine by 2010.

And there is a bevy of new law also directed at restricting our movement, and
regulating many of our automobiles out of existence, under the guise of
"pollution standards" and "urban planning".

Together with real property, guns and automobiles are the prime
targets of laws permitting confiscation.

This is not an accident. And it is not because these things are the
most valuable, because they are not.

This is planned for the stated purpose, to prevent the revolutionary army
from forming, and to make it more difficult for the American people to rebel
against government.

Add to this, the attack against our children with a disshelved public school
system, and a coming war against home schooling by the education
establishment. This completes the trifecta against the American people:
disarm them, keep them stupid, make them less mobile, and establish full
government control of their lives, even of their own families.

This is why you as a patriotic American, have as your first assignment,
should you choose to accept it: to prevent the disarmament of the 83 million
law-abiding Americans, and to increase their number. Yes, being part of the
political process is important. Fighting unconstitutional gun laws is
important. But it's not actually as important as making sure Americans
actually maintain possession of their firearms, whether that possession
technically violates the law or not.

"But I don't wanna keep guns in my house!"

Get over it. If you're worried about your kids getting into your firearms,
lock them away, hide them, keep the ammo separate from the firearms. Put
trigger locks on them if you feel you must. (None of which I advise if you
have firearms for self-defense.) But get them. One of these days the
revolution will happen. It will happen to you regardless of whether you want
it or not. Which brings me to the second reason to arm for the revolution:
without an armed populace of law- abiding citizens, lawlessness will abound.
Criminals will never give up their guns. If war breaks out, you and your
family will be at the mercy of government thugs or criminal thugs, and you
will not be protected.

You will be robbed. If you are a woman, you will be raped, as will any of
your daughters. You will not be able to waive pieces of paper at them, and
the police will not come to rescue you. Read what is happening in Yugoslavia,
when the people don't have the arms to protect themselves against criminals
or hostile troops. Better yet, read what happens in Central Park in the most
tyrannical (and disarmed) city in the nation. If you love yourself, and if
you love your family, you will not allow this to happen to you and them by
being disarmed.

But there's something even more important than that. When the revolution
happens, the forces who will win the revolution are the ones who are best
armed, best trained, and best strategized, in the greatest numbers. The
people who disarm themselves will be powerless to oppose whatever should
happen, or whoever shall seek to oppress them. Nothing illustrates this
better than modern day Russia, where organized crime is the strongest in the
world.

Sell Guns, Give Guns, Loan Guns

Most Americans can legally buy and sell weapons amongst each other, and give
or loan them to friends and family. For the most part, the only people under
mandate to file transfer paperwork are Federal Firearms Licensed dealers,
except in states such as California, New York, Massachussetts, Michigan and
Maryland. .

FFL's put up with all the regulation is to make a profit by selling to the
general public. I am not encouraging you to sell guns for a profit, although
if you can, more power to you. I am encouraging you to sell guns and give
them away to preserve freedom. A caution here: you should look at your local
laws to determine if you have to file any transfer paperwork. If it is easy,
my advice is to do it. If it is not easy, use your judgment at the time. Of
course you never want to give or loan a firearm to anyone whom you do not
implicitly trust with your life.

Never turn over firearms to be destroyed

I cannot emphasize enough the need to never, ever, willfully take a
working firearm out of circulation.

Sell it to someone. Sell it on the free market. It is perfectly legal to do,
and you will likely make a better profit on the open market than in some
government buyback scheme. If you don't want it, keep it alive.

Don't turn it in to be destroyed. Some American needs it. This is a message
that the usual targets of buyback schemes, the predominantly minority
communities, need to especially hear. Historically, owning a gun was evidence
that one was a free man or woman. It was illegal for slaves to own guns, and
most gun control laws ever passed in this country were aimed at keeping
firarms out of the hands of Negroes. If you are able to own a firearm in this
world, you are a free person. If you are fully dependent on others for your
defense, you are a slave.

How Should You Handle The Authorities?

The best way to handle the authorities now is to never take them
on directly. Don't treat them hostilely.

Befriend them when you can. Some of you perhaps see some of these folks as
the enemy. They may or may not be. But when the revolution happens, it may
very well be a local police officer, or a few federal civil servants, who
stand with us.

Don't openly violate laws. Don't do drugs. Don't drink and drive. Don't
steal. Only take marijuana if it is a medical necessity for you. It is
important for you, now more than ever, to be a law-abiding citizen in as many
other ways as possible. Don't ever give law enforcement other valid,
non-political reasons to arrest you.

But understand this: constitutionally no law of the United States, or a
separate state or locality, is actually legal, if it infringes upon the right
to keep and bear arms in any way. There is no provision for registration.
There is no provision for excluding even criminals from firearms ownership,
believe it or not. The right is broad and absolute.

There will be government officers telling you otherwise. But you are not
breaking the law through promoting firearms ownership. The GOVERNMENT is
breaking the law by violating the Supreme Law of the land, the Constitution
of the United States. And if we are to make other people believe it, we will
have to begin to act like it.

I know many of you want to assert that you have the freedom to do just about
anything you so choose so long as you don't hurt others. I don't dispute you
for a minute. But while we are in this struggle for freedom, we need to be
prudent and not foolish. After the revolution, when the Constitutional
government is restored, and the oppressive government is rooted out, all
these rights may be reestablished. But for now, we need to be able to defend
what we do IN COURT if apprehended , so if we pick methods to rebel, we ought
to choose clearly constitutionally enshrined means of rebellion. Nothing fits
that more than the freedom of speech and of assembly and of the press, which
the internet is, and the right to keep and bear arms.

"But I pray it never comes to this!"

I don't fear a revolution. A lot of people do. I don't. It would set the
record straight and clean out a lot of the crap this government has set up,
and it will additionally inspire other revolutionary actions against other
tyrants around the world. The right people have the weapons, the numbers, the
training, the strategy, and the will.

Already this very week, a federal "anti-terrorism" force is being formed in
Charlotte, North Carolina, on the grounds that there are, in their words,
"too many militias" in the region. Do any of you know what the unorganized
militia of the United States is? Why, that's you and me! Check your U.S. Code.

Make no mistake. The government of the United States is planning to go to war
with its citizens. It will fall to the citizens to have to defend America
against its own oppressive government. I have very little doubt that it will
not come to that. The whole world will be watching what we do.
