“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” The Gulag Archipelago, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Right!!! Whatever happens we have to resist and if they use force we should respond accordingly. If not, they will do whatever they want with us as we have seen in the not so distant past.
The truth is, no decent person wants to be a part of the horror this would be. Once on that path, there is no certainty of the outcome - and we put our families and loved ones at great risk. But, at this point to anyone paying attention, there can be no doubt of the destination of the path were on - lives of hellish desperation for our children and grandchildren. That certainly seems to be assured to me.
A terrible choice to be forced upon us, but we aren't the psychopaths pushing this death or enslavement agenda.
