Why TPTB Do Not Want A US Revolt!

1. No modern army has ever defeated an indigenous population on thier own land. Think Vietnam, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Iraq, and Afghanistan again

2.History is replete with so called peasants, farmers, rabble, or common people, rising up when circumstances force them and defeating supposedly superior armies and warriors. The American revolution perhaps being the most well known.
- Its also filled with armies raping and pillaging small farmers and common people.

3. The most powerful and technologically advanced army in the world hasn't been able to route out a few thousand insurgents with AK's and RPG's in Iraq and Afghanistan (see number 1 again).
They man not have been able to stop every one but they have a much better kill ratio then the other way around.

4. No country on earth has the traditions of liberty and freedom ingrained in thier mindset like America. And the ideal that it is worth fighting for. Despite what America has become with our consumer culture and loss of knowledge on our own history that tradition of freedom is still there and I do believe if pushed hard enough a certain percentage of Americans would fight.
Perception is reality I guess.

5. Only 3 percent actually fought the American revolution.
- cool fact but is it true?

6. If only 1% of 100,000,000 gun owners fight (it will likely be more) that is 1 million freedom loving Americans. More then all the available combat troops we have in the entire military.
We can't even get gun owners to stop shooting each other let alone get 1 million people to coordinate.

7. The most well armed well trained most resourceful guerilla army in history of the world is in America. This won't be peasants in robes with AK's. Many of them veterans with the same or better training as those whom they would be fighting. And full machine shops in thier garages to make just about anything. Guerilla tactics are hit and run never going toe to toe with a superior foe. Lots of folks successfully track stalk and hunt deer and elk every year I am sure that can easily be adapted to other things.
Jessie Ventura said it best. Its not hunting its ambushing. War is a different animal and if you take away electricty the internet and cell phones how will the masses coordingate? how many will just give up?

8. A certain percentage of the military will side with citizens and bring some of their toys with them.
That would depend on what military was used? How much would be needed?

9. No army foreign or domestic could control the entire land mass of America. It is logistically impossible and they would be picked off from every rock, tree, door, and window. As the Japanese said of us when asked why they never invaded the mainland; There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.
You again are assuming it would be a control or lock down instead of just a mass killing and surrender.
People talk about Russia and China etc. Russia couldn't even sustain thier troops in Chechnya much less in the USA. China doesn't have enough ships to get the troops here and even if they did could not logistically sustain them.
I agree

10. If the US military came against its people (I doubt the majority would) they would be cutting off thier own supply lines (the American people) and could maybe control a few cities at best but doubtful they could sustain it for very long.
The PTB know they could never win a fight with the American people that is why they don't want one. And why should they? They are doing just fine robbing us of all our wealth via subterfuge, media brainwashing, and re-education in public schools and colleges. They want productive slaves on the plantation not a revolt!
You don't need to win the people over with an army you just control what keeps them alive and how they communicate and that is much better.

polarwarrior writes:"On a more spiritual note I think these lucifarians want you to belive that bellicosity is the answer to your problems, that peace and knowledge are folly and murder of other humans is the way to a better world. In this case if you fight using violence they have won the spiritual game which is all that really counts."
FortAnthem writes: "You know that if there's a civil war in the US, TPTB will make a mint loaning out money to both sides. You can be sure there will be some "rogue country" that will back the resistance movement and use it to tear apart the US by proxy."

You theory with a modern army vs indigenous group doesn't hold water for me.
