What starts a revolution? Looking at US history, most of our internal conflicts rarely started intentionally. Usually, it was a catalyst that ingnited
a smoldering discontent.
Boston Massacre was a catalyst propagandized. The incidents at Lexington and Concord were in response to British troops trying to confiscate arms
caches. The conflicts in Missouri-Kansas preceeded and previewed a savage Civil War by about 3 years.
Do you remember the movie "V"? The catalysts for open rebellion was the accidental shooting of the little girl with the mask. I suggest it will be
an incident or accident, much like this, that will ignite a revolution. When people's outrage so outweighs their own fears and concerns for personal
safety.
Maybe it will be the shooting of a local business man or contractor, while searching his truck and seizing a rifle. Maybe it will be the enforcement
of proposed FDA and Dept of Ag legislation, allowing Fed agents to search, seize, and destroy untagged livestock and facilities... without warning.
The farmer or farmer's family confronts the agents, a shot, then another... a 13 yr old son is killed.The neighbors hear about it, anger and mob
rule ensues.
Maybe the introduction of foreign "peace keepers" to aide with a natural disaster, and they never leave? Or the federalizing of Natl. Guard troops
for law enforcement, or to enforce martial law after another "terrorist attack."
Again, most people will suffer a certain amount of pain...is it worth losing my family, my home, my secure life....but when that paradigm changes and
you have nothing left to lose. Look at the recent response of casual airline passengers to even suspected terrorists. They figure they are gonna die
anyway, what have I got to lose?
