Why They Hate Middle of Nowhere America

I was flipping around television on what I’d forgotten was the 30-year anniversary of the massacre in Waco, Texas. It brought back a lot of memories. I was born during the Reagan Administration. While we had some serious racial issues in my hometown, it still felt like things were on the up in America. After all, we’d recently triumphed in the Cold War.

Most of the children born during this time had grandfathers who served in World War 2. Many of them had very humble backgrounds, but used opportunities offered by the GI Bill and the post-war economic growth to really succeed and provide good lives for their families. It felt like this actually was a place where one could make the most of himself.

The coolest thing I’d ever seen on television was us blasting apart Iraq with precision bombs a couple years prior. I think a lot of political dissidents had the same experience: Waco really shocked me because now Americans were getting the Iraq treatment.

My recollection was basically that there were a bunch of White people in the Middle of Nowhere, Texas not bothering anybody and then the government launched a military assault on them. This culminated in their building getting rammed with a tank and pumped full of gas in order to burn them all alive because the FBI lost patience with their refusal to surrender after harassing them day and night with noise for months. The creature orchestrating this outrage was Janet Reno, a bizarre lesbian type who looked like my PE teacher.

The justification essentially was that they had something to do with guns. Everybody I knew had guns. My favorite thing to wear to school was an NRA trucker cap. It was deeply disturbing hint that things were seriously amiss in the “Land of the Free.” In retrospect, there was a bit more going on.

Years after that, I remember we went over the massacre as a sort of case study. This colonel explained to us how David Koresh claimed to be the messiah, he’d go into tirades for hours while playing guitar and also have intercourse with everybody’s wives. His disciples were prohibited from performing this procedure themselves. Also, pedophilia stuff.

So, yeah, he wasn’t a great guy, and the authorities should have dealt with him. However, they could have done that by nabbing him when he wasn’t at his heavily armed doomsday compound and probably nobody would’ve been killed. The thing is, if there wasn’t a political mandate, no federal agency might’ve been looking into them in the first place.

Back in the Clinton Administration, they were already on a literal war path against White people who didn’t like the government. They were set up by informants and undercover agents on firearms charges, and dealt with using extreme force for things that weren’t even a big deal. The murder of Randy Weaver’s wife and son is absolutely infuriating. He was simply a guy who wanted to live in the Middle of Nowhere so he could be an unobstructed White man and his family could be left alone. Without an undercover agent to go all the way out there and solicit a transaction, they could still be doing just that.

This operation was called PATCON (Patriot Conspiracy). All the way back then, we were already living in a country that decided if you were a patriot, you were a problem. As outrageous as we find these more recent incidents like January 6th or the absurd Gretchen Witmer kidnapping plot, there’s a very strong precedent for this sort of treachery. Every single one (there are many) would appall anyone with a moral compass.

I’ve never once come across a single one of these “patriot conspiracies” that wasn’t orchestrated by federal law enforcement. They nearly always involve firearms transactions as well, because then they have the victim dead to rights on felonies that have nothing to do with the plot itself, which their lawyers would be able to point out was entirely cooked-up by the Feds. The result is that the Feds are able to get the headlines that the victim pled guilty after being charged with the plot. Every single time, without an informant or undercover agent (often multiples of both involved), there would’ve been no transaction.

I recently came across a story that emerged about 20 years later: “Within hours” after the Waco massacre, the Feds were headed to do another one in Tennessee. The problem was that they were worried about the bad press, and while they’d infiltrated this group and scouted the location with a Delta Force operative for an attack, these people hadn’t done anything wrong and couldn’t be entrapped into doing anything, either.

They’d been selected for destruction because they were White people with guns and bunkers in the Middle of Nowhere who wanted to be left alone. That was their transgression. So, why?

Most of these federal law enforcement types are just hired thugs who’ll brutalize whoever they’re told and congratulate themselves for serving their country. Most people also understand that when you leave others alone, you tend not to get problems out of them. Obviously, there’s no genuine national security priority behind this, either. The reason this continues to go on is the psychological animus of a small, specific group.

Everywhere and always, this group is able to set up shop by coopting the elite. The problem they consistently encounter is that after they’ve swindled, exploited, and abused the peasantry enough, the masses either force the elite to take action (this also makes a good excuse not to pay back loans) or take matters into their own hands. That’s the part that really frightens them.

It’s important to understand that they act out of long-held spiritual and historical hatreds. Just because nobody is going to do anything to them here, that doesn’t mean they don’t loath us and have a fear of us underlying their actions. We don’t think or feel this way, so it’s a counterintuitive principle to most.

These spasms are often exaggerated or outright fabricated. Still, the settling of accounts, shall we say, can be rather brutal. There’s a fear of that driving all of this, which can’t be articulated in honest terms just like every other aspect of their psychology and instruments of influence. They’re terrified of an armed and disgruntled Christian peasant because, throughout history, such characters have frequently been the instrument of God’s wrath against them. That’s why when we just want to be left alone, these people can’t do it.
