Came over the transom from the mil email side of the house…
The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of “Men who wanted to be left Alone”. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love.
They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over.
The moment the “Men who wanted to be left Alone” are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these “Men who wanted to be left Alone” will fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives.
They fight with raw hate and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these peoples’ doors, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the “Men who wanted to be left Alone”.

The backstory to “The Punisher” is of a man who wanted to be left alone, whose wife and children were murdered. He had nothing left to lose, and a list of enemies.
Never forget that the WWII German war machine was made of shopkeepers and farmers.
Makes a lot of sense to me. Killing off what a soldier went through hell to protect and defend provides plenty of motivation, especially when they have already witnessed the results of what the Left is proposing. No thanks.
I am dipping my toe into political waters this fall. I hate it. I haven’t bought a yard sign to post, I haven’t sent out a mailer. I occasionally talk to people but I am not the kind of person who goes out and chats with strangers. The only thing I have going for me at this point is some name recognition because I have been some years on the local Planning Commission and chair for the last three. It is a small town so at least a few people know who I am. I really want to be left alone but throughout the country we see that the Left is not willing to leave us be. Even though my town hasn’t been an issue, that is no guarantee that it won’t be moving forward. Unless people get involved.
And I am one of those who want to be left alone.

I take it you HAVE noticed as “conventional flu” numbers went up Covid went down. When Covid went up “seasonal flue” went down. Numbers don’t lie……unless unless stated by Dr Falsi, a politician or the left’s, PR arm of MS
For ten years, I Soldiered in some of the worst places on the planet. Got shot, blowed up, had a Blackhawk shot out from under me, and reigned more death and destruction down from above than I care to think about.
And I came home. Spent a couple of years drunk off my ass by the pool at the Fraternity House. And settled down to a fairly munda, yet productive life.
My wife and I are pay out the ass in taxes. My business is highly regulated by the .Gov
But I swear to all that is Holy, if I ever have to fight again I will not be beholden to some assinine ROE.
It’s well put.
Well put. In my (much more limited than yours) experience, it’s also spot on. I had moments here and there where the threat to “normal” existence was threatened, rather than months or years like some. Nevertheless, there was a great wellspring of fierce determination to say “oh no, you bloody well don’t” at such times. It’s surprising how often that mindset has risen again, the last few years.
Thanks for the h/t, but I gotta pass the credit upstream to my longest-time friend R.A, who was the guy who sent it on to me although its original source is ‘unknown.’
Thank you for your service, R, and everything you’ve done to keep us free.
I’ve been thinking for years, since the reign of Barky, that it will be some old dude who has nothing to lose because he’s lost everything already, family, wife, home, that will be the precipitous event. Someone who just wanted to be left alone, to have his family left alone, so they could all just live their meager but filling lives until they all died.
Then this happened. Government and Industry combining together to restrict who gets what. Some old dude, his wife dead of something that was easily treated before the Covid, his children mentally poisoned and not even, to him, human anymore (if not dead by drugs that came from Communist China or from the not-viruses), with his taxes climbing faster than his pension, the streets full of garbage and waste, who just got notified by his doctor that he’s entering the End Days.
That’s the guy. That’s the guy who maybe didn’t serve, but still loves what this country was. And now has a flaming hate for our glorious leaders. He’s the tipping point.
Can you imagine if Randy Weaver, or the Branch Covidian, or even Killdozer happened today? What about the Bundy standoff?
Though those events were horrible, the surrounding environment wasn’t the flaming crap show it is today.
Now? One man, one human, stands at the tipping point. That man is legion. Literally everywhere. It’s like striking a match in a powder factory, it’s not when the place blows up, it’s just where will the explosion start.
I just wanted to be left alone, to take care of my wife, see my God-son get married, to drift quietly off into the arms of Death. Just to be left alone.
For years I’ve been saying “Be careful of what you wish for, when talking civil war or revolution, because it will BREAK EVERYTHING.” Lately, I’ve come to realize that there’s very little that hasn’t been broken already. I just wanted to be left alone. I’m sure the men who took up arms against the British crown thought the same. Like them though, “the powers that be” insist on intruding on every facet of my life… I’m done with this… I’m ready… This is not for me, but for those who come after…
What comes next, after we try to fix our myriad of existential problems, will be different. It may very well be worse. But there’s a chance it might be better for our (great-)grandchildren. Who won’t exist unless we do something soon.
The Left declared war upon us generations ago. They’re playing out their end game now, and most of our side is just now noticing that there’s something going on.
All- Good points, and it seems we all pretty much are thinking in the same direction… sigh
That’s how it will go down.
Like awakening a hibernating bear.
Hey Old NFO;
All I want to is to be left alone, I don’t want to flip that switch, because if I ever do, I will not stop because I can’t stop until it is done. “Go for Broke” means something and if I ever get pushed to that point it will be me or them. God bring sanity back to the United States.
LL/WSF/Bob- Concur!
Vanderboegh was right.
There’s a lot of older folks born during, or right after, WW2 that are now all-in with their retirement. They know what’s right, understand their limitations, and are shaking mad about the circumstances. With life becoming shorter, many limited by their health, little to lose, and the thought of their loved ones being subjected to tyranny, a terrible response could materialize for those ignoring who labored for years.
ExACTly
McChuck talks about great-grandkids that may not exist. he may be more right than he thinks.
Latest numbers I’ve seen has miscarriages for those who got the jab after being pregnant running at least 80%, so far. IVF clinics are seeing 100% failure if either one has had the jab.
Children are looking like a very rare commodity in the future.
BTW, infertility is one of the listed “side effects” of the vaxx since before it was released. Fauci has been working on that vaxx for about 20 years. It was not the quick process that they were talking about last year. Total bullshit. The patent trail for this covid crap goes back to at least ’98.
I certainly appreciate the sentiment… but I still worry what happens when the blue helmets and Chinese soldiers come rolling in to establish peace again… after all, we owe them a lot of money… and they’re more than happy to exploit us to pay off those debts. It’s not 1776 anymore and the world would love to take its revenge on us for all the… things our nation has been up to for the past 100 years…
