JBT attack

JBT ATTACK

Jack Booted Thugs have been part of our popular culture ( “our” as in our subset niche, preppers and militia ) since the early 90’s with the federales going Full Retard at Waco and Ruby Ridge, Oklahoma City and Florida and elsewhere.  In the late 70’s and early 80’s, as I was eagerly perusing all of the gun magazines and related periodicals, LEO’s, even FLEAS ( Federal Law Enforcement Agencies ) because they remained focused exclusively on drug dealers rather than civilians, reflected a culture where the police were respected.  I’m not sure when the perception changed.

*

In the late ‘80’s after leaving the military I was burned out on gung ho BS, leadership by morons, spit shining and all the rest.  I took a few years of meaningless jobs not seriously trying for any continuation in the LEO field.  When I did, I found out that experience was worthless without college although I could have gotten my foot in the door by going into corrections.  But by then I had also finally figured out my temperament wasn’t suited for the career.  That plus the Baby Momma was pushing me in that direction and I naturally rebelled.  But out of all those  factors, I like to think I hated the move from peace officers to law enforcement officers and that turned me away morally.

*

I’m not sure when the rest of us got turned off by the switch.  Was it Clinton exclusively or did he just run with trends already in place?  Did Bush Sr. with his New World Order BS flip the culture?  Was it simply the end of the Soviet Empire that forced agencies now without a purpose to turn on American civilians in a new cold war, a repeat of the nineteen teens and twenties as new money pouring in from the new income tax and the money creation of the new central bank was funding chasing a reason?  I’m not sure. 

*

But it seemed like almost overnight the Thin Blue Line turned into Jack Booted Thugs.  Or maybe I was just immersing myself in the counterculture ‘zine movement furthering my Libertarian tendencies from literature to popular culture amateur protest publications.  I could have missed the forest as I gazed at one tree.  Wasn’t the phrase from the NRA President?  That should have tipped us all off that this was merely a money making operation, but I guess with the Clinton Semi-Ban we embraced the only devil we knew ( the more I read about the organization the more it seems they actually HELP with gun control to keep their paychecks coming in ).

*

Another clue we should have been tipped off that the JBT scare was more myth than threat was the idiot hawking video tapes.  There he was standing at a podium giving a lecture on how the JBT’s were recruiting L.A. gangs as part of their  military shock troops to take us all over and turn us into serfs ( this was the one containing the infamous “butter knife brigades“ ).  That was nicely done.  Spread the fear about total gun control, AND evil Black Dudes raping our women and killing the men ( this was only implied ).  But even if the early chicken little flopping about was about Getten’ Paid!, it still became one of our endearing myths ( look at the recent “feds are buying up all the ammo to kill and enslave us all” that was used to ignore resource depletion ).

*

And for the love of Baby Jesus, PLEASE!, please don’t start being stupid about “the militarization of the police”.  That started at least as early, if not sooner, with the outlawing of drugs a century ago, as well as the original gun control measures outlawing Evil Assault Tommy-Guns and such, along with the main enforcement laws on Interstate Commerce.  The only thing that changed recently was the cultural change of middle class white boys realizing the fact that we were no longer in alliance with the police ( although I believe Brown of SOF magazine kept up the hero worship the whole time, but that was probably pandering to his reader base ).  So even if “JBT” shrill alarms were just money grubbing, it did note the sea change in perception.

*

But, as usual, given that the American public always Goes Big Or Goes Home, we over did it and rather than simply not trusting the government ( which, embarrassingly, the Hippies had figured out twenty or thirty years previously ) we turned fearing JBT’s into careers and hobbies.  How many of you buried a gun during the Clinton reign?  How many of you right now are planning on JBT’s taking everything you own during the die-off phase of the collapse?  You are still falling for the myth.  They simply don’t have the numbers.  At the very most, the police are one gang amongst many fighting for resources.  And mostly, they are going to get their asses handed to them.  They are fat and overweight, driving everywhere being a mechanized army totally useless without fuel and over the air communications. 

*

They are the local unit of the national second generation military ( a quick reminder to any NUG’s, first generation was columns and formations, second industrial equipped artillery protected by infantry, both rigid centralized command.  Third generation was maneuver warfare of semi-autonomous units and Forth is guerilla war.  Americans have been stuck in 2^nd, the Germans introduced 3^rd.  All our enemies today are 4th ).  Today, the police have the advantage using high tech and invested infrastructure for an EXTREMELY small number to oversee a huge population ( which is controlled by bread and circuses, not by fear of the police ).  But like their military cousins, they rely on those “force multipliers” which are not sustainable. 

*

In case you forgot, while Vietnam was a total Industrial War Of Quantity, it also was the birth of technology war we enjoy today.  “Enjoy” as in getting more bang for our buck.  But technology doesn’t win wars by themselves which is what we rely on.  And although tech allows a huge saving on workers/soldiers, it does by necessity require an even bigger infrastructure supporting it than industrialized war does ( our electronic device consumption subsidizes the war spending to a degree ), at least as far as complexity.  And since we are moving into energy deficit, complexity is going to lose.  Yes, beware the enemy.  But understand him so you don’t fear him and can fight him more effectively.
