Migrant Buses and the Government's inability to respond to a crisis Part 5: Caravan of Conservative Terrorists on the way to the Border

There may be a convoy of armed rightwing domestic paramilitary terrorists is heading to the Texas border to bolster Greg Abbott, Dan Patrick, and Ken Paxton's play.  (Never forget Republicans are so fat and financially well-off that the can take off for weeks or months and drive 1000's of miles bringing their arsenals of expensive guns to go Glamping and Cosplaying Cops in the Texas desert.). They call themselves TOBB and 'God's Army' as conservatives continue to make violations of Godwin's Law meaningless, knowing that the FNYT will simply not call them Fascists and will continue to BothSides everything, while making Republican Perfidy just palatable enough for the largely politically unmotivated middle able to punch that (R) on the ballot with a semi-clear conscience.  

"Let me tell you, I'm not willing to do too damn much right now to help a Democrat," Republican Rep. Troy Nehls of Texas told CNN this week. 

Republicans not only have no intention of doing anything constructive in reference to the border and immigration, it looks like they are hoping to spark a shooting confrontation with Federal forces.  And you know these Convoy Cosplay gun-tottin' yahoos are just itchin' to shoot a brown person. 

Republicans saw the Trump loving murderer in El Paso as a model and a Hero.

Republicans have nothing to offer the American people.  They are not interested in anything to help the American people or to effectively govern the United States, nor any desire to interact with the wider world other than to play big swinging dick and tell everyone else well, SUCK. ON. THIS!  It's Rule or Ruin.  That's what's going on and that's what 2024 is all about.

I've said before but, when The Left (writ large) became so disgusted by the criminal and oppressive actions of Republicans and rightwingers we made a "mistake" in allowing them to co-opt the language of Patriotism, Freedom, and Liberty.  Republicans profane the Untied States of America but, they learned from the mistakes of their ideological ancestors in the Confederacy and have worked for decades to infiltrate, subvert, co-opt, and pervert the Nation into an ungovernable conglomeration of little fascist fiefdoms.  It's the same with religion, or more specifically christianity in America.  The abuses by the religious leaders, the dehumanization of people written into dogma, and the massive on-going grift by various denominations have allowed the worst people to claim the mantle of religious leadership.

Will this Texas border stunt turn into Mahleur Bird Sanctuary or a Waco?  Well, Biden was no doubt advising President Obama not to let the Bundy Insurrection (#1 or #2) turn into a large scale Ruby Ridge, which the Bundy Klan and Supporters definitely wanted but, this time we have a Governor and multiple "Law Enforcement" Agencies in Texas defying Supreme Court rulings and ratcheting up the pressure for a shoot-out.  Faux News continues to call this a Civil War, so you know diaper wearing rightwing grandpas watching at home are itching for this to be the Casus Belli, and open insurrection they've yearned for, for so, so long.

Understand quite clearly, Republicans have no desire to fix "The Border" because it has supplanted "Abortion" as the cause célèbre for Republicans to gin up Fear and Anger amongst their rabid base.  Notice how Republicans are fighting to make sure Abortion is nowhere on any ballot in 2024.

Legislative efforts in Missouri and Mississippi are attempting to prevent voters from having a say over abortion rights, building on anti-abortion strategies seen in other states, including last year in Ohio.

I will be amazed but, not surprised if Republican Treachery in Texas results in electoral victories for Traitor Trump and other Republicans in the 2024 elections because this bullshit border theater is too early to be an October Surprise.  But, the Republicans have subverted the government at many levels and will continue to do so not only because it helps them get elected but, also because Republicans don't believe in a functioning government. 

So... where are we right now?  Republican Governors are openly pledging their allegiance to this Texas Sedition and sending their National Guardsmen to help.  Republican Congressmen are clearly behind the effort and if something goes sideways I believe Texas Republicans and the various rightwing paramilitary are going to declare some sort of Declaration to overthrow the criminal Biden Crime Family by any means necessary.

Conservatives plan to use the NYPD assassinations as a pretext to murder Liberals and overthrow the Government

Right-Wing Violence is coddled and encouraged in America. There is a real danger of the American Right using the murders of NYPD Officers Liu and Ramos to kill minorities and leftists and then Overthrow the US Government. At least, that's the dream of Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists.

Right-Wingers all have the same delusion. They think they are The Thin White Line o' Heroes.
"The next time there’s a die-in, make sure they’re dead. The next time they block the road, run their asses over," Stan Solomon talking to Larry Pratt, Head of the Gunowners of America, on reacting to protests. Note the demonstrators Solomon is itching to murder are not looters but, non-violent demonstrators.
These White-Wing Hateriots do have several things in common; they loathe Democracy and the Democratic Republic for which We Stand. Conservatism is Terrorism.

Fortunately, in reality, while some of the craftier conservatives will use this to fund raise and fleece more right-wingers, additional Right-Wing Murder Sprees will not happen. The Oathbreakers will have a fundraising drive, FU de Blasio T-Shirts (made in China) will be sold, more parcels of land in the Galtian Paradise will be purchased, Alex Jones Infowars will increase his viewership, more Liberal Hunting Permits will be issued, and this incident will go down as another of the 968 impeachable offenses committed by Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

However, this doesn't diminish the aching desire Conservatives have to start murdering Liberals. They are waiting for a signal, for their imagined Casus Belli.

Over at Hullabaloo the blog of Digby, I read the latest Call to Arms from Confederate Yankee Bob Owens. His sthick has been the same for 6 years. The stay-at-home schocastic terrorist throwing his toxic emissions into the seething cauldron of right-wing rage in the hopes some "Lone Wolf" will go out and murder a Liberal,

It’s Time To Play Cowboys and Communists

If, my friends, you would like to preserve and restore liberty you must decide, today, what you will tolerate.

You must determine how much more you are going to tolerate as they attempt to destroy this nation from the inside.

You must determine what you are willing to sacrifice in order for your children and grandchildren to remain free.

I ask you to stand your ground, my proud fellow American citizens. Keep your weapons oiled, your bores bright, and your magazines loaded. Pledge to protect those who protect us.

We do not want war, but we will not surrender our liberty to rabble who crave the chains of tyranny, or who dream of lording over free men.

Will you choose to be Sons of Liberty, or sons of Obama?
Laughably earlier in his column Bob Owens wrote;
This string of attempted, escalating, (and sometimes regrettably successful) cop killings is a part of a low-intensity civil war on the very fabric of our society.
Richard Poplawski, Jerad and Amanda Miller, Andrew Joseph Stack, James W. Von Brunn*, Joseph T. Kane, Dennis Marx*, Nathanial Kangas have all attacked or killed Law Enforcement Officials yet evoked no response and weren't a Cause Célèbre for Conservatives.

Right-wingers only support Police Officers and the Rule of Law when those LEOs and that Rule is being used to oppress Minorities, Leftist Protests, and Unions.

Right-Wingers really are itching for any reason they can grasp to begin the slaughter of Liberals. Criticism of Chris Kyle and American Sniper has brought out the typical Conservative Death Threats towards anyone who dares point out that Kyle didn't win the war, murdered a bunch of people we shouldn't have been killing and died because he was a gun humping moron. When Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton win the Presidency in 2016 I'm certain a Right-Wing Insurrection and mass murder spree of Liberals, Democrats, Progressives will begin.

Nevada Uprising: Cliven Bundy & Right-Wing Militias declare War on the US

Nevada criminal Cliven Bundy, became a conservative cause célèbre as Bundy set himself up as Simon de Montfort, battling the injustice and tyranny of the Federal Government.
"My forefathers have been up and down the Virgin Valley ever since 1877. All these rights I claim have been created through pre-emptive rights and beneficial use of the forage and the water. I have been here longer." Cliven Bundy
Bundy owes over $1,000,000 in fees for grazing on Federal Lands, when in 1993 he decided to stop paying fees for using public lands. Since then he has lost numerous court cases.

But, the Right-Wing Wurlitzer of Outrage stoked the flames and invited Militias to stand with Bundy against the Federal Government.

Of course, the issue isn't complex Bundy, is a member of the 1% who feels that public lands and natural resources belong to him to do with as he pleases and understands that laws and regulations are for the little people NOT a Job Creating Plutocratic Noble of Nevada.

Bundy and his Tea Party Terrorists have repeatedly asserted Bundy owns the land, but he of course has no legal documents or land deeds to back up their claim.

Right-Wingers bow and scrap to the Plutocracy and desire the destruction of the United States of America and the institution of a Neo-Feudal Nation with the 1% controlling Fiefdoms free of Washington DC "Tyranny".

Tyranny, in the minds of right-wingers, is losing the freedom to oppress minorities, dominate women and rape and pillage natural resources for their gain.

Aided by Faux News, Bundy implied he was willing to have his serfs and conservative militiamen declare war on Federal Authorities. Sean Hannity asked Bundy, "How far are you willing to go? How far are you willing to take this?"
"My statement to the American people, I’ll do whatever it takes to gain our liberty and freedom back."
Be careful of anyone who declares they are willing to do whatever it takes for Our Liberty with Your Life.
"This is what I prayed for," said Margaret Houston, one of Bundy's sisters. "We are so proud of the American people for being here with us and standing with us." 
"We won the battle," said Ammon Bundy, one of the sons of the Criminal Bundy. 
While Militias may see this as an extension of the Baron's War against the Crown, Bundy and his family are nothing more than a Common Thieves albeit with big aspirations and the firm conviction of sacrificing your life for their gain.

Addendum:
I must congratulate the Bureau of Land Managament and other Federal Authorities for diffusing the situation. Right-Wing Sovereign Citizens and other conservative terrorists appeared quite ready to murder LEOs and other officials.

Addendum 2:
Via Crooks and Liars, Tea Party Domestic Terrorists planned to use women as human shields.

Addendum 3:
Cliven Bundy gave a news conference yesterday to commemorate his victory while flanked by the white power militias and Oathbreakers domestic terrorists. "Opening that gate should have been the Governor's job and protecting him should have been the Sheriff." Bundy continued explaining that he couldn't get any sleep at his ranch because of the "Militiamen" and "cowboys" laying around. So he knelt down and said a prayer and he received this reply, "Sheriff Gillaspie your work is not done. Every sheriff across the United States of America, take away the guns from the United States bureaucrats."
