H/t to Vanderleun for this Mencius Moldbug piece on the seminal links between FDR and the Man of Steel.

Read it all, along with the embedded links and the comments.

Then go back and re-read Garrett’s masterful telling of what really happened in the New Deal.

Remember their Communist origins and continuing sympathies as you look upon the apparatchiki in your oblast, Comrade.

Harden your heart as you contemplate their future fate.

Entertaining in the extreme.

Equally essential.

At least for anyone interested in successfully navigating the New Amerikkan Police State and its obstacles.

Matt Bracken’s latest introduces readers to Dan Kilmer, a former Marine scout sniper with recent experiences in the Islamic wars who, upon separation, sails off to sea for freedom, adventure, and profit, wherever possible.

His freebooting life is disrupted when a former girlfriend runs into trouble, and Dan decides to come to her rescue.

From there, the reader is taken on a full-throttle blast through the near-future Neo-Depression South Florida, where DHS and local police are full-gear everywhere, the Haves live magnificently, and the Have-Not normal people are reduced to Third World poverty, corruption, and squalor.

Particularly noteworthy is how Matt chose to make his protagonist, as he executes his rescue mission, subject to the same kind of human errors and fallibilities that afflict us all. Dan Kilmer, for all his skills and experience, is NOT a Clancy superhero.

And Castigo Cay is all the more plausible and enjoyable for that decision.

A free sample of Castigo is here, but do yourself a favor and order the whole book from Matt here, or via Kindle here.

While you’re at it, get the entire Enemies Foreign and Domestic trilogy as well, if you don’t already own them.

Where else can you get a series of can’t-put-it-down tales filled with a wealth of tips on how to deal with kinetic and potentially kinetic situations?

Highly, highly recommended.

Not the end of the world – just the end of the world as we’ve known it.

The time for warnings and attempts at convincing others is over.

Spend the time instead on learning skills and perspectives that will help weather the collapse of world socialism in as good as shape as possible.

Remember also that said collapse will necessarily include an extended period of technologically-advanced tyranny.

Everything from shooting skills to agriculture to animal husbandry (along with all of the in-betweens) will be helpful.

As for those on whom you have spent your energy in the past?

They have made their choices.

You make yours now.

Survive.

Resist.

Arctic Patriot links to Che Guevara’s Guerrilla War and then comments.

Both links are essential reading, as is this overview written by a Marine officer.

Resist.

Or submit.

Either way, the problem is not going to disappear.

Pay especial attention to the OC’s comments beginning at 5:50.

Have you done your PT today?

That’s where I am headed.

Excellent analysis and synthesis by Arctic Patriot.

Just remember – the .gov is not going to stop.

Not.

Stop.

Stand.

Resist.

Read Selco’s latest and do what it says, please.

Too damned few right-minded folks to lose one to a boo-boo.

Semper paratus.

Fred asks an essential question.

Billy Beck had the answer a while back.

MTFU, folks.

What’s coming is not going to be pretty.

Yup.

Another statist deterred.

Specifically.

Permanently.
