If you’ve been paying attention to the news this week, you’re aware that matters on our southern border have finally came to a head. The trend for years, decades really, has been for the federal government to turn a blind eye to massive numbers of illegal immigrants coming across our border, making a mockery out of enforcement of the relevant laws and overworking the understaffed border patrol. However, during Biden’s tenure, the Regime has taken things to a whole new level. They are not only not just “failing to do something” about our border situation, they are actively abetting illegal border crossers and the cartels who smuggle them in. Indeed, the current administration is encouraging illegal entry by “migrants” from all over the world.
This past week, Texas finally started to do something about it. The state was already being sued by FedGov for passing a law recently that directed state officials to start enforcing immigrations laws, with or without federal approval and assistance. Instead of backing down, Gov. Abbott has doubled down by seizing border property from the city of Eagle Pass in several areas where border crossings were actually being aided by federal officials (who help interlopers across and even removed barriers erected by the state). In the process, Texas police have kicked out border patrol and other federal officials and established direct control themselves.
This move by Texas represents a ratcheting up of our collapse phase trend towards decentralisation. At least for now (and let’s hope Abbott has the fortitude to follow through), a state is openly defying FedGov in a non-Regime approved way that would have been unthinkable even twenty years ago. Even if FedGov wins this standoff, it presages more and more movement in that direction. The Regime is bleeding power and everyone knows it, even if they can’t afford to let on to that fact. Either way, the Regime is going to have to stop this quickly before other states start getting ideas. If they can’t, their already tarnished reputation will take a further massive hit.
So in light of this news, we saw something else on Thursday that ought to be of interest. A very odd bill has been proposed in the House of Representatives by two Democratic representatives - a bill that would ban “private military activity.” On its face this seems strange since every state in the union already does this. However, the bill, as written, is so vague that it could be interpreted to outlaw organised range shooting activities or even paintball games as “combat training.” This bill reeks of desperation because the Regime knows that its path to collapse is further along than a lot of people think and they know that "private military activity" is a very real possibility. The Regime has been accelerating to the point of no return and is trying to stifle any potential serious opposition.
Opposition to what? Well, that’s a good question. Let’s put some pieces together.
It’s no secret that the US military is facing a serious recruiting shortfall. Obviously, the current Regime has little use for the American military as it has traditionally been constituted. This is shown by the absolutely disrespectful way in which our troops are routinely treated by their own government and chain of command. Especially driving this recruitment deficiency is the huge drop in enlistment by the military’s traditional recruiting stock - rural and suburban White men from the South, the Midwest, and the Mountain West. In other words, exactly the kind of people being demonised by the new military with its DIE initiatives, rainbow flags, and trooned officer corps.
So who is going to fill the ranks? Fortuitously, we seem to have a huge flow of military aged males from all over the world crossing our border for whom the Regime has been rolling out the figurative red carpet. These are guys who probably have a lot of time on their hands. Wouldn’t it be a swell idea if we inducted all these guys into the military to make up for the lack of Heritage American interest? Indeed, history repeatedly shows that unpopular regimes typically do exactly this. They start to rely on foreign mercenary forces for a number of purposes.
Certainly, as GAE struggles to keep its steam, there may be a need to send Guatemalans and Nigerians into various Middle Eastern sandboxes to take shrapnel that Americans won’t take. After all, there will still be the vain and desperate attempts to shore up American globohomo empire in that (and other) regions. But historical, one of the main uses of foreign troops has been to try to keep your own potentially rebellious natives in line. Foreign troops have no real connexion with those whom they are suppressing and thus are willing to follow almost any orders that their paymasters give them.
However, unlike many first world countries that are under the Regime’s heel, the USA has a large body of well-armed citizens, many of whom have military training and combat experience. These guys - plus any other patriotic citizens they may be willing to help train - probably won’t take too kindly to being suppressed by foreign hirelings, something that will quickly make a lot of people’s patience run out. Say, wouldn’t it be a shame if all of these armed, trained and trainable people started organising to protect their homes, families, states, and country?
Despite all of the bravado from left-wing Twitter X keyboard warriors about “YoU’rE aR-15 vS. tAnKs AnD f-15s!!1!” the Regime knows that this armed Heritage-American populace is a potential threat, hence the effort to stifle its organising. And on some level, these people must know that they aren’t really a legitimate government and that they exercise power solely through police powers and the force of arms. Even if they don’t, an increasing number of real Americans DO know this. The Regime has lost the mandate of heaven, and history abundantly attests to what happens to regimes to which this has happened.
As 2024 wears on and we move towards the election in November (smirk), expect the Regime to ramp up its street game once more. Especially if Trump is on the ballot, and especially as it becomes apparently that more than just election fortification will be needed to keep him out of office. Of course, this is exactly the kind of activity that armed citizens are best able to put a stop to (and did in 2020, when they largely kept the Summer of Love riots confined to Blue cities and didn’t allow them to spread to the suburbs for the most part). So the Left is going to go all out with gun control and other “citizen suppression efforts” to keep this from happening.
But this isn’t 2020, and we’re four more years into collapse and decentralisation and four more years into patiently putting up with the progressive Left’s antics. Eventually, the patient men across this country will start getting furious. Once a line is crossed somewhere that involves state, local, or citizen forces becoming involved in real conflict with FedGov, that’s when things will get really spicy. Obviously, this is not the ideal state of affairs - I’d much prefer that America’s collapse take on the sort of slow, managed decay that characterised the Soviet collapse in 1989-1992. But it’s wise to prepare for any eventuality - better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it, and all that. Our side needs to be organised, prepared, and be reaching out to persuadable persons in positions of power who can help to stabilise any less-than-ideal transitions states in which we may find ourselves.
When we discuss the future of American Civil War in Russia we usually drift towards images from own past with large scale clashes, mass civilian casualties and general terror. But I think it is indeed going to be a slow-boiling decentralisation resulting in a gradual loss of steerability and decline in civil rights required in order to restore some semblance of order. In the end America is going to become an agressive and dysfucntional police state suffering from a ever-present crisis of competence. What a loss. We could be great allies. Take care.
Not that I would advocate actually trying it, but I’d be curious to see how well you could actually train these guys to be a part of a modern military. We all saw the disaster that unfolded when trying to create an army out of Afghan citizens, would a disparate bunch of Central American migrants do better?
