Ask the militia leaders.
If I remember my history correctly, when we were fighting the war of independence against the british, not every single american colonist was fighting
and in fact, the british did turn some of our own people against us. They were called the green coats and the loyalists. It's not needed that EVERY
single american stand up and fight and to think this will be possible is preposterous since there will always be those too apathetic to care. If I
remember correctly, somebody in here posted that if at least 10% of the U.S. population would wake up and were ready to fight, that would be enough to
get things rolling (whether that's true or not, I'm not sure)

I am heartened that you are aware of the nature of the bulk of your countrymen Brother. That is a start. You do not need 10% of the population to
actively support your cause. The more appropriate number is closer to 5%.
If 5% actively strive for change then miracles can be accomplished. During your Revolution, MOST of the population actively opposed the
revolutionaries and collaborated with the British, including the Loyalists you mentioned above. They maintained the status quo because it was easier.
They could not see that change was possible or even preferable to British rule with all its inequities.
Relatively few were actively supporting the Revolution and even fewer put their bodies on the line and fought.
If you can PSYOP your way to outraging 5% of the US population into taking up arms against the oppressor or actively supporting those who do, then you
might just get your little war, but be careful what you wish for Brother. These days, Paul Revere will be taken out from 1200 metres by a sniper with
Barrett .50.
As for asking the Militia Leaders... They have no idea. They, like most of the same mindset, are in general looking to re-live the first American
Revolution, when they should be looking to Anti-Coalition Forces in Iraq for inspiration.
How will you contact the very few truly underground militia leaders who have thought things through and have learned from history? I do not believe
that you personally, just like the "Militia Leaders" are equipped to become an effective leader in AmRevII. You do not know what you do not know.
Ignorance will get you killed. Sacrifice in ignorance is pointless, and no matter how you sugar-coat it with patriotism and no matter how insulted you
might be, it is simply just a waste.
If 5% of the population of the United States simply made the PTB irrelevant to their daily lives through non-compliance and subterfuge where
necessary, then you will have more chance of achieving a suitable end-state than a violent revolution.
You do not have to preach the Light to do this. You do not need to awaken from your present slumber. Like all philosophies, teachers are all around
us. Read the writings of Claire Wolf for a start. There is an internet forum called "The Mental Militia" if you do not read books.
Good luck Brother. Choose your means of Revolution carefully.
