If the Administration in Washington, DC substantially succeeds, then many people ought to consider the creative option of creating an Internal Exile Compound (IEC) for their families and, perhaps, for groups of families, or intimate friends.   Remote locations must necessarily be chosen so that a low profile is kept.  Good reading would, of course, include survivalist and retreater books about how to endure until, perhaps, the nation’s political and cognate climate may then greatly change to, once again, be more favorable to the joyously needed exercise of freedom and social civil liberty.

Means and degrees, therefore, must be significantly found through the process of being able to engage in forms of separatism by trying, within reason, to become as independent as possible of the luxuries of contemporary life; it is preferable, moreover, to live off of the national electrical grid as yet another proper stage of requisite disengagement from the truly oppressive, outer, socio-political environment dominated, increasingly, by officious bureaucrats, etc. who seek to ideologically manage and control the domestic populace.  

Whenever possible, bartering must, thus, replace any experience or contact with e-commerce; equally, the cash economy needs to be carefully handled in critical terms of minimizing how transactions might be traced.   Besides a good supply of firearms and related ammunition, all of this goes rather well with keeping to a necessary low-profile existence, in the New America, with its rather expected, continuing diminishment of what used to be just normal civil liberties and civil rights, in this land of the free and home of the brave.  

Networking can begin, at first only furtively, with other scattered IECs, though, admittedly, this would be logically difficult.  The primary reality to be seriously confronted is, of course, that each IEC ought to be as independent as possible in terms of it essentially being a basically self-sustaining reality; it is to be sufficiently restricted to a secured and remote area.    

Local crops will have to be grown, some small-scale livestock (or large-scale, if circumstances, location, finances, etc. permit) can be handled, and basic repair shops, whenever possible, ought to be usefully maintained for the good need for trying to then maximize basic degrees of mostly needed self-sufficiency.  

Each IEC must, however, become its own tiny sociocultural reality, a miniature village, in adamant opposition to the outside world that is, of course, crescively dominated by Big Government, Big Business, and Big Labor, the both horribly corruptive and corrupting Iron Triangle of the welfare-warfare State.

If the November 2009 national elections do not manifest a really genuine sea change in political reality for this country, it then may be fairly held as being highly indicative of the dark future to be speculated upon, by many rational minds, properly seeing the actual truth of things, not any optimistic dreams or useless hopes.   The 2010 elections might, however, be just too late to fully have a decent chance to then substantially halt the predicted destruction necessarily intended by the ideological powers-that-be in the nation’s capitol.  

Thus, many thinking people may intelligently wish to carefully opt for seeking out places of what, in effect, would be locations of a kind of chosen internal exile; this would be until the truly wondrous day of a new birth of freedom may occur to properly liberate those who are vehemently opposed to the political, social, and moral evil of imposed democratic despotism.

Moreover, ironically, it may very well be the future case that the later associations of local, state, and regional IECs could politically come together to mightily resurrect the original understanding of the US Constitution as rightfully giving to the people a government dedicated to appropriately celebrating free republican governance qua government.  

In the meanwhile, the best thing to be rationally done, under the then anticipated and (dire) present circumstances, is to survive; each survival-oriented compound, therefore, needs to draw to its uses whatever resources might be at hand; this will especially be true should the outer society reach levels of expected degradation and decay, due to the accelerated centralization of further amassed power in the national capitol, which then renders a suitable or reliable normal social order impracticable in ordinary terms. 

A situation may, in fact, generally assert itself not entirely unlike the breakup of the Roman Empire, in Europe, that had produced the decentralization of the Middle Ages when people had to make due with whatever circumstances had vicariously existed, including, e. g., dealing more and more with only local authorities.   Such situations present both variable challenges and opportunities.  

The better established and organized the IEC is, the better it will be able to creatively deal with different and often difficult realities that will, necessarily, have to be often daily, weekly, etc. confronted; and, without much real choice as to, perhaps, hoped for options.  

An additional way to cope with the overall reality is to needfully develop an exile-minded culture, which will verbally and otherwise celebrate past great American achievements done for freedom, that will help to keep up the spirits of the compound’s inhabitants.  This must, for instance, include solid readings and discussions of the American Revolution/Revolutionary War Era as to the true sacrifices that were made by the patriots to secure victory against monarchical tyranny; such efforts at recalling this part of the nation’s history will help to inspire resistance to the current despotic forces controlling the nation.

A book by someone using the (assumed?) pen name of Sam Adams has authored, this very year, a work frighteningly entitled: Understanding and Surviving Martial Law:  How to Survive and Even Prosper during the Coming Police State.  

He also insists, furthermore, that FEMA has actual concentration camps being prepared for tens of thousands of terrorist-citizens and other such unwanted miscreants.   Definitely, over 20 years ago, this would have been silly stuff that any intelligent person would have simply dismissed, as just pure garbage and undiluted nonsense, fully unworthy of serious consideration in any way whatsoever. 

But, after the truly horrific and shocking empirical realities of Waco, Ruby Ridge, Elian Gonzalez’s kidnapping, etc., only a fool would off hand discount at least the rational possibility that evil people, with ideological intentions added to governmental power, can, in fact, do evil things deliberately, not accidentally.   One hopes, of course, that nothing would ever occur by which America would be turned into some sort of police-state tyranny. 

But, the past massive march on Washington, DC, of September 12, 2009, has factually shown that there is, indeed, really widespread and quite active opposition to the efforts to turn this country, first, into a European-style social-democratic nation, which must later consolidate its ever increasing power, meaning the State’s control, through at least trying efforts at authoritarian rule. 

This shows how actually critical the November 2009 national elections will then be, if there is, in fact, no truly great change in both the Federal (especially) and state governments.

Of course, there are still the ever perpetual optimists who say that it can never happen here.  

Many years ago, decades ago, the amazing stuff put out by, e. g., the John Birch Society was easily laughed at by presumably knowledgeable people; the Birchers had, thus, warned about the coming into power of dedicated socialists who would transform this country into a collectivist regime; now, e. g., Rush Limbaugh, Mike Savage, Mark Levin, Ann Coulter, Pat Buchanan, Glen Beck, etc. are, in truth, no longer laughing about what may happen.   One wonders why.

Have the always mocked tin-foil hat wearers, outlandish rightwing crackpots, and berated fringe types been, at last, vindicated or not?    Will the now required political reading include books titled None Dare Can It Treason and, of course, others called None Dare Call It Conspiracy?
