I'm a recently retired Military Officer, academy graduate, fan of the constitution, hater of the Fed, and the current income tax system (FairTax). Lived in a small rural comunity just under a year now. Plugged in to the local school by volunteering to coach robotics (I'm an electronics geek on top of guns and hunting)...
Thinking with all the COVID stuff, government controls, shut downs, isolation/quarantine. Its time for patriots to unite, organize, and participate in local militias... focus on serving the comunity first through emergency response and preparedness, then ready to organize a response to tyranny. So what does the ARFCOM group mind think? Are there any ready made organizations/guides etc for doing such? ETA: Updated my profile... after reading some responses... realized I forgot to update where I retired to (was stationed in VA, moved home: live in the Thumb of Michigan now). |

Your first member will be FBI.
Your second member will be ATF. Your third member will be a methneck whose family tree doesn't fork. |

It might be a good idea.
But for goodness sake don't organize it through the internet unless you want to attract a solid mix of genuine lunatics and federal provocateurs. You should also consider running for local government, especially sheriff. |

It would be riddled with guys from 3 letter agencies. I honestly can’t think of anything beneficial that would come of it.
I certainly wouldn’t trust anyone I didn’t know for years. |

Hates the Fed, yet his retirement income comes from???? Hard pass West Point.

Some local counties in Va are forming militias. Might want to check your county.

It would be good to gather in a community of like minded individuals and not necessarily for defense. Resources can be better used, knowledge shared (farming, gardening, canning, mechanical repair, woodwork, etc.). Americans used to do this until the creation of the TV. People used to sit on their porch in the evening and would meet neighbors who strolled by. That way everybody knew everybody else and kept an eye out for the kids ("I'm going to call your mother!"). We drifted away from that with the invention of TV (everybody stayed inside and isolated from their neighbors) which isolated people. Churches were another source for community gathering but attendance is down.
The economic reset is upon us. People are in arrears in their mortgage payments and will be foreclosed on. Our monetary system has been corrupted (can you say brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!?) and when it goes, most accumulated savings, earnings and retirement will vanish. Rather than fight among ourselves, we should come together to help each other out during the next few years. It is very likely that as law enforcement absents itself, communmities will need to engage in self-protection. |

Quoted: Can I be a colonel? View Quote You can join the American Pioneer Corps and be a Colonel...if you can sufficiently prove you currently have a federal commission or commission from the governor of your state as a colonel, whether active, reserve, or retired... Otherwise, you're going to have to settle for "dude", "buddy", "pal", or if we really dislike what you're doing at the moment, "fuck wit". |

You do you op, keep it small and trusted. Don't alienate the locals, with your "crazy talk" it's not quite time for the normies but having a small trusted cadre ready would be helpful when its time.

A recently retired "Academy grad" who doesn't capitalize "academy" or "constitution," yet capitalizes "Fed."
Yeah… nice try, whoever the fuck you are. |

View Quote More of an FBI thing this time, I imagine. Likely trying to penetrate the second wall of The Boogaloo Movement (lol) |

Working wonderfully for them I believe. |

Why not just use the militia as a honey pot ? Use it to throw a nice loving party for all the alphabet boys in the group?

What if I make some tasty fried chicken, or have a YouTube gun channel? |

This pilot compsci major doesn't give a flying f about capitalization.... and yes I retired at 20 because the system wanted me to care about spell nazi crap.
But keep the ideas and dick measuring coming... it helps me get mentally prepared on how to weed out the idiots and trouble makers as I plot to unite my like minded community members. |

Yep. With your neighbors. No internet, just meet and discuss how to secure your neighborhood.

View Quote Most memes and gifs are pretty dumb. A few may elicit a smirk. That just had me in tears! That’s fucking great! Who the fuck would think to add the explosion? Absolute genius. Anyway OP, didn’t you know there already is a militia in Michigan? It may have made the news once upon a time. |
|
oOHHHh..those Virginia farm boys sure do have a sense of humor.
|
|
Yes.
It is always a good time for citizens to organize. As for feds joining, so what? Just ignore any illegal suggestions. Hell, see if you can get them to pay for things. |
|
Good job OP.
Operation Top Prop is a go. You have integrated nicely. Love, Your Secret Handler (This is a private IM right?) |
