Kurt Schlicter (retired Army Colonel and partnered lawyer) was inspired to story board, write, publish, and release "The Attack" just three months after October 7. Kurt had close ties to Andrew Breitbart and claims to have written the book based on Intel and "authenticity" checks from those in the Intel community. The book lays out a widespread but incredibly feasible plan to kill lots of Americans and destroy our morale using small teams of men who don't know about each other, have no need to coordinate or communicate (thus can't be tracked), and will carry out their attack at a designated time. The attacks occur over three days (Aug 27-29). Day 1 is attacks on public places making people retreat into their homes. Day 2 is attacking and mass murdering people in their homes so that Americans don't feel safe anywhere and panic. Day 3 is attacks on critical infrastructure to cause lasting damage and affect our ability to wage war. The book release seems a little too convenient to pass muster with me and I think it's worth discussing.
Again, I hope this doesn't happen but this book seems too conveniently timed and detailed to be coincidence. Even, without taking the book into conversation, I can't escape the feeling that something is going to happen. Our enemies may sense that our governments perceived weakness may end with a trump presidency, so striking now is ideal and there is only limited time to strike. Also, 9/11 is around the corner.
I’ve been pushing this book for months now. It’s excellent. Frightening. And can be used as an instruction book to share with your neighbors.
My wife read it…and pushed me to prep even more.
A similar but longer read is John Ross’s ‘Unintended Consequences’. Historic fiction showing how we got where we are with a gun control perspective. Excellent historic details on each of the illegal anti gun laws…and suggestions on how to battle against them.
This one is no longer in print. And is banned in Canada. It’s that good. It can be found free online in pdf for download.
Thanks for that. I'll download it. FYI, archive.gov has an INCREDIBLE library of downloadable military manuals I recommend you look into. There are thousands, but the best ones I've come across are 1) Small Unit Tactics by Chris Larsen, 2) USMC Sniper Manual, 3) Basic Landnav, 4) camouflage TM, 5) Night fighting manual, 6) there is no doctor. Couple these reads with a "Stop the Bleed" and a "wilderness first aid" course and you're set. If you are crazy like me and want to take it a step further and actually apply all of this information so it sticks, start attending milsim west events. MSW events are hi production value coordinated airsoft combat experiences that last three days with no breaks and you have to carry everything you need in with you. https://youtu.be/ECGxVlh4kFY?feature=shared
You'll learn how to do hand signals, basic radio and land nav, plan a raid, ruck and biviouc, pack light, select the right gear, night fight, set up an lpop, and generally learn to develop endurance for physical and environmental suffering. I've gone to five events now and I'm addicted. I'm proficient at night fighting, have field tested my gear to the point of having that locked down, and have my entire ruck and sustainment gear down to 30lbs. You can also run real firearms at these events with blanks to test the feel and weight of your gear.
Damn! You’re all in! Impressive. I’m a firefighter so have pretty good med knowledge. But definitely haven’t tested my gear set up in real world trainings. Did a sniper course with a neighbor a few years ago that was awesome including long range as well as hides, building suits, etc. Thanks for the info! Happy Independence Day!
I mean, for me it's a hobby to learn this stuff. I've been doing long range for 16 years, but have been shooting and learning this stuff from an interest perspective for my whole life. I started to see how "bad" things were getting politically and socially in 2018 and felt I needed to up my training game in case I ever found myself in a dangerous situation. It's only recently that I went full in on milsim because it's the only way as a civilian to actually test yourself, your gear, and your knowledge against large groups of people who can fight back. Most people train and do courses at a range. That's useful certainly, but nothing is more useful than realizing how terrible everyone is at gear selection, light weighting, and fighting back against a group of attackers. Plus, night fighting makes is absolutely clear how terrifying combat is. I don't ever want to see combat, but I don't ever want to be without minimum proficiency in that area.
