America is in the grips of an epic gang war the likes of which it has never seen before. Masked and heavily armed thugs stock the streets of some of America's biggest cities with total impunity, thousands of them, tossing houses door to door, dragging unarmed civilians screaming from their vehicles before shoving them into unmarked vans, lighting up anyone who dares to resist and straight up murdering people on camera before sauntering off from the scene of the crime like swaggering cowboys and daring shocked bystanders to do something about it...
The gangs I'm talking about are not the Crips or the Bloods or MS-13. The gangs I'm talking about are far worse. They have many names, but they all carry badges that afford them the full protection of Babylon and a monopoly on the use of force. Most of them go by just three letters; FBI, ATF, DEA, ICE... These gangs I speak of are the gangs of the Federal Government and their reign of terror is paid for by the hard-earned tax dollars pilfered from your pockets by their brethren in the IRS.
This gang war didn't begin with Donald Trump but under Donald Trump it has reached new levels of unparallelled depravity, becoming a sort of traveling crime wave ravaging one city after another on the whims of a petulant manchild desperately trying to throw the people who voted for him off the stink of his own private crime wave of sexual predation. However, this is not a partisan problem, it is a government problem, and it is of downright existential importance that people understand the simple fact that every gang is essentially indistinguishable from a standing army and vice versa. Be they Crip or fed, they are all organizations comprised of professional soldiers who have turned violence into an industry.
There is no difference, morally speaking, from the mob kidnapping you for refusing to kick up to the local protection racket and the feds dragging you out in cuffs for refusing to kick up to their latest war. Well, there is one difference and the difference is that fucking badge. That shiny little piece of bling that tells you that this gang operates with the protection of the state, itself little more than a convoluted construct defined by its seemingly mythical ability to sanction acts of violent disorder in the hallowed name of 'Law and Order.' We as citizens (a fancy word for victims) have all been carefully groomed in that state's compulsory school system to divide criminal organizations up into two distinct classes: those who commit crime and those who use fighting crime as an excuse to commit crime.
The tragically inevitable end result is what we now bear witness to in Milwaukee. The end result is the heinous monstrosity that is ICE under Trump. Invented in the wake of 9/11 as a paramilitary arm of the newly minted Department of Homeland Security, tasked with shaking down migrants in the name of a terrorist attack committed by legal green card-carrying office drones, Donald Trump has used the mechanisms afforded to him by the federal government to turn this gang into his own private army.
After tripling their budget with $75 billion dollars from his One Big Beautiful Bill, Trump had his plastic surgery disaster of a Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, more than double ICE's manpower from 10,000 to 22, 000 by luring in morbidly obese incels with a slick social media campaign and then cutting their required training from 13 weeks to only 6. Just ad constant praise and adulation from the GOP and the Executive Branch, and MAGA now has their answer to Mao's Red Guard. A curb stomping battalion of keystone killers that answers to one man and one man alone.
The only problem or at least the biggest problem with this conspiracy, at least as far as the faithful out in Trump Country are concerned, is that the Commander in Chief promised them the mass expulsion of millions of scary brown cholos to justify mugging their lifesavings to arm about 12,000 barely literate trolls to the fucking teeth, and that horde of alien invaders quite literally does not exist.
The border collapsed under Biden thanks largely to the refugee storm caused by the Molotov cocktail of Covid 19 and centuries American imperialism but that daughtering old northern Dixiecrat threw people out about as quickly as they came in, turning the Rio Grande into a chaotic revolving door. Naturally, Trump counted every single recorded crossing as a separate migrant, but it is now a well-known fact that many migrants crossed that border multiple times in the last several years and very few of them were actually the hardened gangbangers and cat-devouring mental patients Trump painted them as. Or, to put it in gangster terminology, this whole thing was another fucking shakedown.
On top of that shit sundae, violent crime was actually lower than it had been since 1969 when Trump took office and the migration rate was already slowing down. But Trump's fan club paid to see a purge of epic proportions. They also paid to see the Epstein Files and have become increasingly unruly as it has become increasingly impossible to deny that their bronze Duce was at least as guilty as Bill Clinton of Mossad facilitated pedophilia.
So, Trump began shipping his army of poorly trained thugs into whichever Democrat-led city happened to be in the Fox News headlines this week and when more protestors than migrants began showing up, those thugs started shooting white lesbians in the face and then accusing them of terrorism for obstructing their bullets.
The most obvious solution to this crime wave is both the most woke and the most conservative. Defund the goddamn police state. Conservatives have been rendered into hapless bootlickers by years of blatantly racist 'Back the Blue' propaganda, but once you remind them a couple times that we don't just mean Derek Chauvin but the entire federal syndicate, including the fine folks who torched Waco and shot Randy Weaver's trad wife with a baby in her arms, I have a funny feeling that they might just come around to the obvious conclusion that small government means no more baby killers with shiny new badges.
With that being said, the state will never get behind this kind of blunt force common sense regardless of popular support for the simple reason that the state depends on the gangs of the federal government to exist. The moment people realize that they can walk safely into a Walmart and buy a loaf of bread without MWraps cruising the parking lots is the moment they stop paying taxes, and from there it is not a long drive to the realization that every standing army is just another gang which is the moment people stop signing up to shakedown peasants in the Middle East. And just like that, the whole fucking deck of cards comes crashing down.
So then, how does one go about fighting a war on federal gangs without the federal government? Well, how did the Minutemen do it in the 1770s? The less repugnant Founding Fathers confronted a shockingly similar crime wave launched by a gang known as the Redcoats with well-armed, volunteer militias and the Black Panthers did the same thing again in sixties and seventies while confronting their enemies in blue. The Panthers even used former street level gangbangers to do it. In fact, Fred Hampton even convinced entire street gangs like the Black Stone Rangers to convert their forces to non-profit banging in order to aid his Chicago chapter of the Panthers in policing the police.
While it remains debatable whether or not our slave-raping Founding Fathers gave a flying fuck about actual individual gun rights, they clearly intended for the Second Amendment to create a civilian movement capable of preventing the rise of professional armies. This all fell to shit however when they began stealing more and more territory. This is also pretty close to where the Panthers fell into the FBI's COINTELPRO trap as well. Their militia quite simply got too big while remaining centralized under the same formerly local leadership back in California.
But Fred Hampton had the right idea with his Rainbow Coalition in Chicago. Every hood in the city had its own street gang so every hood needed its own militia committed to protecting that turf in a fashion divorced from the profit motive. Instead of running it all back through Oakland, Hampton created a coalition of dozens of local neighborhood militias capable of strength through diversity and that included a diversity of tactics.
Renee Good did everything right, holding thugs accountable by tracking and recording their behavior, but I can't help but to wonder if Jonathan Ross would have been so quick to pull his piece on an unarmed civilian if there were a few good Vatos or Latin Queens on the next corner practicing open carry.
We need both, what I've referred to as the Armalite and the iPhone, in order to reign those cowards in and take our country back from the fascist abyss of federal gang warfare one neighborhood at a time.
Let's just hope it's not too late.
