How Can You Tell Who Are the Bad Guys in this Civil War?

I saw this comment on Brandon Smith’s article:

We all watched shoot em up Western movies when we were kids. But if you were the last one to get your popcorn and sit down in the living room, you had to ask who were the good guys and who were the bad guys. Back then, all you usually had to do was see who was wearing a white hat and who was wearing a black hat.. If you were late and weren’t sure, everybody in the living room could tell you real quick so as not to interrupt the movie. Now you can wade through years of internet articles, interviews, public debates and court cases and still not know for sure who is who. Most of the time you find out later that they were all bad guys. Even the ones you thought you liked.

At first, I thought that you could spot the bad guys easily: colored hair, overweight and not attractive. You probably have other criteria to add to this list of attributes but in reality, we should classify the bad guys into categories:

1. The soldier. These are the minions who follow directions. They usually cannot answer questions concerning their motivations and are unaware of the facts of the issue(s). Many university students fall into this category.
2. The paid protester. They are not usually dangerous and now seem to be recruited from retirement villages or homes. Motivated by money and will leave as soon as their “shift” is over.
3. The mentally ill. These people want confrontation on a verbal or physical level. Their agenda is attention and they believe they are fighting against tyranny. Many of this category support abortion, transgender surgery of our children and tyrannical actions to destroy the country.
4. The true believer. They are usually directing the protest and may have a position in some level of government. They will not support their allegations or reasoning with facts. When confronted, they look through you with glazed eyes. Be careful of these people: they will knife you in the back and ask what is wrong with you as they twist the embedded knife.
5. The power. You will not see these people in the field. They provide the money and logistics to organize across the nation for their own agenda. In my opinion, their agenda is to start a civil war to reduce the population and increase their power. This is the worst category because they have protection, money, power and support from the government. And they do not want us dead because they already view us as being dead. This gives them the justification for all of their actions.

What can you do? I know people who have made actual files of people in their community (area of operations). Names, pictures, home address and work address, and personal information concerning their activities are detailed. If I was still in Raleigh (or another area of contention), I would be out filming the events to identify them. As I found out in the past, they are quite forthcoming if they think you are on their side.

When I was filming the Occupy Raleigh protest, many of these people were not “bad” people: they know something was wrong and they do not know how to fix it. I had discussions with many of them and they listened since they were hungry for information backed by facts and logic. I doubt today’s “protesters” will listen. We should be asking whether we will have the luxury to determine who is the “bad” guy and whether their level of “bad” justifies the actions to be taken against them.

People will rationalize their actions by saying “let God sort them out”. I pray that we do not descend into the level of the French Revolution.
