Good video.. Our local mill here gets his logs locally and his prices never moved throughout this whole BS. His decency won’t be forgotten. Literally everything that has happened strengthens the case for de-centralization and local local. Personally I have shifted my buying patterns massively in the last few years. It’s up to everyone to do an assessment and act accordingly.
Amen! Decentralization is the way

While I have warned about engaging Leftist paramilitary groups in the past but there are some green lights out there. Our side for whatever reason has done a great job not taking the media’s bait. Probably to the point it’s making false flag operations more difficult. But the ones who control these groups and their politicians I don’t think anyone will care and might even reap rewards. The lumber owners, the hedge funders, and their lawyers. Can’t see any downside if these fine folk trip and fall.

Way to go Johnny Paratrooper!
Excellent explanatory video… These “Capitalist Companies’ are as bad as the Communists. Most of these large companies are Fascist Corporations, so inter twined with corrupt government that they have become as powerful as government (tell me that’s not the definition of Fascist… a government-corporate-industrial Oligarchy).
So, these Left Wing ‘illusion infatuated’ wing-nuts want to attack something… they can attack those companies… not attack individuals and burn out city centers.
Apple, Amazon, General Electric, Verizon, Google, Facebook, etal… they’ve all lost their moral compass, sense of purpose and decency.
These greedy companies will force the demise of America.
The Communists will eventually declare… “Well, Capitalism can’t provide for you… but Communism can!” regardless of their methods.
Get ready for not just high prices… shortages of EVERYTHING.
When it gets to food… it will be revolutionary in the true sense of the word. People will support and love those who can provide for them… regardless of the method by which they do it or their ideology.
Spot on Brother! Local… Local… Local. Free Enterprise!

He must strike swiftly and strike hard… he who dares… wins. But under all circumstances those guardians must stand ready to protect the innocent and those too weak to defend themselves…”

Saw your comment in my email and didn’t realize you were The Mr Lawson. Appreciate your work and your knowledge sir. Something I have been struggling with is the ideology of the US, China, NWO. Not to get too hung up on semantics but I do believe it is more Fascist than anything else. You see that unholy alliance between these entities and Mega Corps. I think the cultural Marxists have become their patsy’s. Much in part because they are such vicious ideologues. Fucking idiots run around screaming “Fascism” yet they have no clue who deploys them.
Like I said it may be semantics as it all winds up with total government control. But perhaps it helps to understand your enemy. And I think that makes sense.
It isn’t that useful to try to pigeonhole what we are seeing now into an ideology that really only existed for a few decades in the first half of the last century. What we are seeing is like the bastard child of fascism and Marxism, taking all of the worst aspects of both. The goal has always been the same, creating an elite who rule over the rest of humanity, and these ideologies are the vehicles that were used to try to accomplish the main goal.
Thank you Luke… you and I are definitely reading the same pages from the same book. Very insightful what you write and spot on about the ‘Fucking Idiots.’
Thanks Brother! I am glad I have some well known and well traveled readers. There are big moves coming soon by all sides of the “great debate”. For what it’s worth, I remember reading about communism, specifically Marx’s version of the ideology, and he stated (In so many words) that the difference between capitalism and communism is that the “surplus” profits would go to the workers, instead of the owners of the business. So technically, there should be no visible difference between a communist and capitalist society, except to say that the surplus profits are shared among the workers. Industrial Lumber processing is a great topic of consideration for marxist ideology because it involves land ownership, environmental considerations, hard labor, automation, engineering(Sciences), and the average worker could be replaced very easily. Obviously there are fanatical elements to consider, like full communism rewriting history books and renaming hospitals and cities. However, Communism “light”, a localized version practiced in certain trades(Unions, NGOs, or Non-profits) or city-states (Modeled after Plato’s Republic), would be hardly indistinguishable from the last 150-200 years of socialist, communist, anarchist, and capitalist history.
Lots of means of production and resources to be seized.
As to you comment regarding the left wing attacking these business and city centers, I believe the city centers were attacked to lower property value so that they can be purchased cheap and rebuilt. (Build Back Better…). When it comes to the rural areas, most, if not all, of the communist revolutions (with the exception of the Paris Commune and Moscow) have been largely fought in rural areas. Typically, I think, because the disenfranchised peasants have little to lose and everything to gain. Cities are hard to fight in too. Not many places to hide from prying eyes, and far too many angles of attack. I believe you are correct to assume that this will be a largely rural experience. History certainly agrees with that notion. Frankly, the only time I can think of an exception to this rule is during specific periods of military action when a city played a major role to oust one leader or party or the other. Even the Paris Commune and Moscow were about occupations. Similar to the autonomous zones we saw being constructed in the U.S., but on a city wide scale. And those areas were, both then and now, surrounded by military, police, and various security forces of one unique name or another.
Identify the problem and plan a solution. We can’t tilt at windmills successfully (major corporations) but the day may come when we can reach out and touch those who own them, I’m not advocating anything but there are many forms of justice, some more fulfilling than others.
