Letter From a Minuteman

-Deny our stronger enemy a decisive engagement.

"we *are* the stronger enemy, as you pointed out above by having so many armed citizens. even unarmed citizens can be effective using the normal means of our state government. what kind of direct engagements can we shoot for with our government that will place us farther in the advantage? clearly they are not violent acts, but in self defense. guns can go to your head. use your MIGHTY liberties and other powers to achieve your victories."

-Deploy an aggressive rearguard to harass and observe the enemy.

"civilian/intelligence operations. FOIA. calling your senator. what would you like them to do? how would you like them to react to your statement?"

-Chose wisely the time and place to suddenly stop and fight, where the terrain gives a distinct advantage.

"organized movements, such as those around Ron Paul and other liberty-oriented organizations/activities. make them automatically intercomfortable so they od not overlap or degrade one another. = liberty movement."

-Make the enemy pay dearly for these places, then evacuated before the enemy can follow up.

"get on TV media. spread the information to amap."

-Leave behind little that the enemy could use in the way of rations, supplies or shelter. Take all you can from them.

"study liberty closely, and recognize the liberties of others and do not infringe on them. stand up for what liberties are yours and which belong to others. they are unalienable."

-Moved to impede their enemy's retreat, again choosing terrain which required the enemy to do all the work.

"if we can acquire some undeniable public information distribution method that will not be abused that would be fantastic. perhaps public demonstration, bedsheeting on freeways. bedsheeting is very good."

THE PATRIOT RESISTANCE: (note: Too many militias have become gun clubs for camping buddies, lets get fucking serious people! This is not a game!)
-
why not be a gun club too? i doubt serious paramilitary activity will be effective against a US force. we are too united for that. our dissent becomes the dissent of soldiers, who fill the ranks of our enemy's brass. do not register, but you may want to fight *alongside* them instead of against them. even police can be succeptible to this, as they are addressing a potential threat and not a *real* threat at any peaceful gathering. they have families and liberties as well.

i want 10,000 humans to take trips to different areas of the country and world and spread the best information they have. this is equated on the internet, but doing so in person draws a greater audience.

if you can participate in or finance one of these trips, do so.

the united states decided to fight SU and China through economic power instead of on the ground in about 1964 when we began to realize that we could not win against them in their own countries with our resources. vietnam proved this, [but they did not account for morale].

However, we did enjoy security from a greater missile gap that we had over them, which was primarily due to our superior economic condition. we would win the war with hardware, and potential hardware, and greater militarizable economies and then regular civilian economies. civilian economies became mercantilism and denying russians and chinese economic resources necessary for them to build their own economies.

Economics also relies on confidence and intelligence and technology, hence the media/intelligence war to back up the economic war. Media is also used to guide and spur economic activities, as is entertainment and other waste-encouraging/enhancing/producing methods, such as planned obsolescence and Joneslike social competive materialism turned classism.

We began fighting over the 3rd world, diplomatrickally, through the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, World Trade Organization, and through market colonialism. We enhanced trade with other parts of the world, achieved sweetheart deals with oil rich Saudi Arabias and resource nations.

We saddled others with loans. A nation that is 5 billion dollars in debt cannot become communist, and is by nature a capitalist country. We got the capitols of every nation and the Soviets armed resistancies. We even overturned Vietnam by trade. We trade with them today. They are capitalist with a socialist/communist center/society. Semi-state run capitalists.

When a company gets 51% of the world's resources, they will buy the rest and they/we/capitalism wins. Maybe even less than 51% depending on credit. There are about 3-4 companies left that control this share. In 2000 it was 5. More mergers are on the way. Soon it will be 1 company, and they will buy the remainder.

What happens at this point, we do not truly know. Communism is not the threat it once was, but capitalism is not a perfect system and cannot suitably organize society, nor destroy communism. It is also easily overshadowed by fixed market capitalism, which is unlike free market capitalism. Companies work in trusts to shape society to convenient and profitable avenues that may be medically dangerous, untruthful, dirty, restrictive, and deny people liberties and the ability to leave such a market. We have suppressed technologies that could power and organize the world and denied ourselves the liberties of nature in pursuit of the 51%.



[Excerpts from the letter from an American militiaman, edited for format]
----------------- Bulletin Message -----------------
In our nation of 300 million people, there are at least 95 million lawful gun owners. Those 95 million guns owners lawfully possess 212 million firearms. Even if the government recalled ALL military members from around the entire world, they would have a force of only about two million.

95 million gun owners versus 2 million troops. The federal troops would be overrun and massacred.

Even if only ten percent of the 95 million gun owners had the guts to fight we would still outnumber the military almost 3-1.

These numbers don't even include the amount of true patriotic soldiers of the military that will turn against the state and fight on our side or the estimated 115 million firearms that are unregistered.

Government tanks and planes are nearly useless in guerrilla warfare.

Strategy and tactics are inter-related. It is important to understand the relationship between them.
Tactics are what you use to win a battle, strategy is what you use to win a war. Both are equally important, yet tactics are a component of strategy. You might call tactics a substrategy.

The 1st rule is to use chapters. If uncovered, it can only reveal names of people within the 1 chapter.

The 2nd rule is to let the chapter evolve naturally. Don't force cell leaders to recruit new members too fast, it will happen in time.

The 3rd rule is to be realistic in mission assignment and goals.

The 4th rule is don't make things more complicated than they need to be.

The 5th rule is don't generate a lot of paperwork, don't make copies. Never put a name or title on anything you print or write.

The 6th rule is to establish clear chains of command. If a leader of a chapter is killed or wounded, the members of that chapter should know who will take command.

The 7th rule is start at least one other chapter that will operate independently, as yours does.

Discipline your men with real tactical drills and other exercises which serve applicable purposes.

When it comes to unit size, organize at the squad level or smaller. "Or smaller" would be my advice, for numerous reasons. Smaller units are a lot easier to control. I would feel very confident about our chances if the active Patriot Resistance were composed of thousands of networked but independent (and self-sufficient) 3-man fire teams. Each fire team could link with another (forming a 6-man squad) for a raid or force recon, or with 7 others (forming a 24-man platoon) for an ambush or deliberate attack (given the character of the modern militia, trying to form any larger units will just be asking for disorganization). For most other missions, each fire team should operate independently.

If you doubt the benefits of such small fire teams, put it to the test. Take your 5-man team through some bad bush, with plenty of twists and turns, and see how well they maintain the wedge. The men on both flanks will either be killing themselves to maintain proper position and interval, or they won't even bother and your wedge will wilt into a pointy square. Then try the same thing with just a 3-man team. Moving in the wedge just become a whole lot easier. You'll find that a smaller unit makes a lot of other activities easier, too.

Another reason for 3-man fire teams is that most of the missions relevant to us require 3 men or several teams working together.

A WARNING AGAINST BUREAUCRACY:

Yes, your unit will benefit from a certain level of organization. But don't go overboard! No matter how large your outfit gets (and my advice is to break up into smaller outfits if it grows beyond squad size), don't turn paperwork into a sacred cow. Keep it simple and informal. When you observe the emergence of attitudes of "that's not my department," your unit is headed for self-destruction. If it's to the point where something doesn't get done because "So-and-So handles that and he's not here today," you'd better go back to the drawing board. Spend your time and effort training your troops and solving problems, not creating and enforcing a bunch of regulations.

OUR STRATEGIC POSITION:
Our enemy (UN/NWO forces, including the US Military) is a conventional force. Numerically they have overwhelming superiority. Their land forces have air support, artillery, intelligence-gathering units equipped with spy-satellites, heat-imaging devices and every other scientifically possible contraption, engineers/sappers, signal battalions, nuclear/biological/chemical (NBC) capabilities and specialists, and support personnel, equipment and material. They have supply. Think about that. When their troops use up all the food, fuel and bullets they can carry, someone will load them up with more. They have the land, air and naval power to project their troops anywhere on Earth. They have medics and field hospitals. They have popular support (which, among other things, augments their intelligence-gathering capability). In North America (which is all we can afford to worry about at this time), either directly or indirectly, they control every major resource, water, food, industry, heat, electricity, information, fuel, etc.
What type of force is the Patriot Resistance? We have no air support or artillery. Our intelligence gathering apparatus is well-dispersed but crude, vulnerable, and often inaccurate. We have no supply. The only means available to us to project our forces are limited, haphazard, and vulnerable. We have no field hospitals and only the most rudimentary medical skills/equipment. We are not a conventional fighting force.

The only type of warfare in which the Patriot Resistance can be effective is guerrilla. We must plan strategy and adjust our thinking accordingly.

Wars are won by taking and holding key terrain and resources. We can't accomplish this by fighting pitched, decisive battles against the NWO. Especially since the enemy already controls our nation's resources. The only method open for us to capture those key resources and terrain is one which has been used by many an underdog throughout history. The Russians employed it against Napoleon, Pancho Villa used it against Black Jack Pershing. It entails making your enemy wear himself out pursuing and trying to destroy you. Then when your enemy is exhausted, starving, weak and careless, you move in to speed his destruction, taking bites out of him wherever possible, carving him up pieces.

This kind of strategy requires discipline. The defender is constantly moving backwards, taking as little damage as possible. He must resist the urge to stand toe-to-toe and fight it out. He must pick opportune moments, when it is most advantageous to himself, to surprise his enemy by turning from his retreat to let fly a brief, stinging offensive flurry before disappearing once again. This strategy is our best hope for victory in the coming struggle.

-Deny our stronger enemy a decisive engagement.

-Deploy an aggressive rearguard to harass and observe the enemy.

-Chose wisely the time and place to suddenly stop and fight, where the terrain gives a distinct advantage.

-Make the enemy pay dearly for these places, then evacuated before the enemy can follow up.

-Leave behind little that the enemy could use in the way of rations, supplies or shelter. Take all you can from them.

-Moved to impede their enemy's retreat, again choosing terrain which required the enemy to do all the work.

THE PATRIOT RESISTANCE: (note: Too many militias have become gun clubs for camping buddies, lets get fucking serious people! This is not a game!)

The Patriot Resistance is a guerrilla force. Our only supply is what we can carry with us. We have no formal or centralized leadership. 99% of us are armed with nothing bigger than a rifle. We have no fixed defensive line, no bases or even friendly cities. Unlike the VC and NVA, we don't even have borders we can escape and hide behind. Keep all that in mind.

As mentioned, wars are won by taking and holding key terrain and resources. Let's look at resources first. The key resources here in North America are:

Food: Our Great Plains are one of the agricultural wonders of the world. The farms are 99% corporate now and being taken over by foreign conglomerates, but the crops still grow here.

Water: Even more important than food on an individual level. Every state has it, but you'll work much harder to find it in Texas than you will in Michigan.

Fuel: There is and has been far more fuels here in North America than will ever be admitted. Most of it is given to our enemies while foreign fuel is imported here in order to make us more "interdependent" and to maintain the illusion of an energy crisis. But there is still enough oil in our land to make us self-sufficient for a very long time. The biggest concentrations are in Alaska and Texas, but you'll also find wells in California, Florida and Oklahoma. Coal is another fuel found in abundance in the northern states.

Information: Almost all is completely under the enemy's control and should be targets. The primary "hubs" of their information monopoly are New York and California.

Industry: What little is left here is mostly foreign-owned, yet there remains enough to have an impact on the economy. It is concentrated mostly along the East Coast and in the "Midwest" (the Rust Belt).

Key terrain:
California- The ChiComs already have a beach-head here (that's right, even before Bush part of Clinton's reelection deal with Red China was giving them the former US Naval Station at Long Beach, "former" because he slashed our own Navy too lean to man it) and could easily turn it into a funnel through which they could pour occupational forces into our interior.

The Sierra Nevadas- There are so many highways over and around these mountains, it would be impossible to bottle up any foreign occupational forces moving inland just by blocking 1 or 2 passes. Still, such a move warrants consideration.

The Southwestern border region- All the patriots down there are caught between a rock and several hard places. Not only do they have to worry about the Federal traitors and collaborators, there's a "Luftwaffe" airbase there. As of 1998 Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico is now a permanent German Air Force installation, and the unchecked flood of Mexican revolutionaries crossing the Rio Grande now might become an all-out invasion when other things fall into place.

The Eastern Seaboard- I only mention the area surrounding and between New York and DC to advise patriots to get out of there. This area has absolutely no value to us and will be "the hornet's nest". It is the business and political neurocenter for the North American Union & NWO.

The forests- Most active militias train out in the woods, and that's a good thing. That's where we'll need to operate and hideout, except for patrols or raids into urban areas. Major population centers will either be at the mercy of rioting mobs or the NWO.

As an informal network of guerrilla bands, the weaknesses of the Patriot Resistance will prohibit us from attaining outright control of key terrain and resources at first. What we must do is make it as costly as possible for the enemy to control these assets.

The tools available to accomplish this are:
Interdiction- The enemy's supply lines will be stretched long and far. Too far for him to protect every mile of it adequately especially if he uses the railroads.

Sabotage- The same is true of microwave towers, broadcast relay stations, dams, bridges, power plants, fuel dumps and airfields: There are too many for the enemy to protect all of them. But be advised, a big dramatic explosion is not always the best or only means to take out targets. Don't overlook civilian broadcasting as targets The enemy must invest time and money on repairs to ensure the population stays misinformed.

Ambush- Isolate small enemy units, wipe them out, take their stuff, then "di-di-mau mos-koshee" (run off quickly). This will demoralize the enemy and erode his strength piece by piece while possibly earning yourselves food and ammo in the process.

Feints- Cry wolf, often! Make the enemy think you're attacking or raiding a certain target when you're not. Not only can you use such a ploy as a diversion for an actual operation, but even just creating constant false alarms will aggravate the enemy into complacency which you can exploit.

Psyops- Psychological operations directed at enemy soldiers. We don't have the sophisticated apparatus to compete with the enemy as far as targeting the civilian population but enemy troops will likely be following us wherever we go and it would be within our means to leave behind fliers, booklets, notes, or anything to make them think. When it comes to winning hearts and minds, the job of the partisan is to make it more costly for civilians to collaborate than to resist. With all the propaganda against us being crammed down their throat it is unlikely that many people will take our side at first. But they definitely won't take our side if you steal from them and start destroying their property. There will be no way around foraging at least to some extent, if we hope to survive. Just try to take from the fields of collaborators and not the fence-sitters or sympathizers to our cause. Be as considerate as you can afford to be and let the NWO show their true colors to the population. If the people are being pushed around by Big Brother while we're causing relatively little trouble, except to Big Brother, some will decide that the cost of resisting, at least passively, is cheaper than the cost of collaborating.

Every doomsayer has a theory about how the revolution will start, but no one knows for sure. You don't know, we don't know, even the enemy's top brass might not know what's going to light the big fuse. A thousand different things could start the shooting. A stock market crash, the Brown situation, even a natural disaster. Let's not forget the very real (although censored by all but the intelligence journals) threat of the Shanghai Pact powers, who prepare for nuclear war against the US even now (their projected ballpark date is around 2015-2020, but many factors could move their schedule up) and have threatened to nuke the west coast if we interfere with Red China's designs on Taiwan (why should we do that, though? After all, Red China is STILL our "most favored nation". They have defacto control of the Panama Canal now. Meanwhile, we still don't have a ballistic missile defense and the longstanding "launch on warning" policy has been replaced with the suicidal "absorb a first strike" policy. "Treason" is what Webster's dictionary calls that, though not one single yellow "journalist" of the Lapdog Press has the integrity to use that word.

The enemy is opportunistic, and so far has been very clever in choosing the right moments to tighten the noose. We should take a page from their book and be on the lookout for prime opportunities. This will be a shock to most of you, but at the strategic level, the advantage goes to the attacker (the opposite is true at the tactical level). The element of surprise contributes to this, as do the key terrain and resources I've mentioned. In any case, we would be wise to watch unfolding events with an opportunistic eye and be ready to fight at any time. ...
