CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE

The concept of throwing a monkey wrench into a situation to confuse it dates back to the late 1800s. In fact, the word sabotage comes from the French throwing their sabots (shoes) into machines to foul them up. The term, “throw a wrench in the works” arose in 1918 in the area of industrial sabotage. Back before employees were represented or able to bring industry to court, they fought for better working conditions, better pay, and benefits and damaged corporate machinery to cause a standstill in factory operations. During the maintenance stand down, the employees could put forth their requests. Also, monkeywrenching was used to destroy machinery owned by companies who used virtual slave labor tactics, in the hopes of shutting them down.

Previously, monkeywrenching was a major tactic of the environmental activists. Now there is NOTHING the Gunny loves more than using liberal’s tactics against them and the DNC’s drones in the Sierra Club, ELF, ALF, etc, have no doubt used this against “The Man.”

It appears that ObamaKare is going to be shoved down our throats, at the cost of 940 BILLION to insure 30 million people, at the cost of 31K plus per person. More of them same folks. Democrats spending OUR money willy-nilly, especially since health insurance figures show that 83% of Americans are ALREADY INSURED! Is there 30 million illegals in America already?

For example, in Obummer’s Healthcare takeover, you will get fined 2% of your income, by IRS agents, probably armed with the military-type shotguns recently purchased for them.

“The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) intends to purchase sixty Remington Model 870 Police RAMAC #24587 12 gauge pump-action shotguns for the Criminal Investigation Division. The Remington parkerized shotguns, with fourteen inch barrel, modified choke, Wilson Combat Ghost Ring rear sight and XS4 Contour Bead front sight, Knoxx Reduced Recoil Adjustable Stock, and Speedfeed ribbed black fore end, are designated as the only shotguns authorized for IRS duty based on compatibility with IRS existing shotgun inventory, certified armorer and combat training and protocol, maintenance, and parts.”

So how can you monkeywrench here?

If you refuse to have the insurance and get fined. Pay the fine, in dribs and drabs. Get on a payment schedule and pay the lowest amount you can. Drag it out.

Also, how is it that the IRS can buy a fourteen inch barreled shotgun when the rest of us have to have an eighteen inch barrel? Another violation of federal law by the federal government. Say it ain’t so Pelosi!?

How can you monkeywrench your taxes?

The Gunny had to pay 1,200.00 this year vice getting a return and won’t send the check until April 15. This deprives the Federal Colossus of money they desperately need to force their will on us until the last minute. If you can tweak your withholding, or not have ANY withholding (it is legal), and save the money in a separate account to pay out at tax time, it prevents the government from getting an interest free loans from you, that they use to run the system, until tax time. When you do stuff like that, you’re tossing a monkeywrench into the system! Make sure you stay within the legal bounds and use their rules against them.

How else can you thwart the tax man and the system?

Rental property. If you can afford it, and VA Repo’s or foreclosures are good here, it’s a great way to write down your taxes to the lowest amount possible. With property management through a real estate company, you do nothing, and write off everything.

With the Census and Monkeywrenching…

Simply don’t fill it out and send it in. Or, as the Gunny did, answer the first question only and send it in. They don’t need to know WHO lives where. Just that 4 people live in the Gunny’s house, period. Make them send someone out to your house, and then simply restate your answer. The census worker will have to “estimate” the answers. Obama ain’t Caesar and this ain’t Judea.

Monkeywrenching Fun with the FOIA (Freedom of Information Act).

One would be surprised how much angst one can stir up by requesting revealing documents from your local town hall, county clerk, board of elections, etc. All it takes is a simple FOIA request at about 25 cents a page, and a wealth of information flows into your hands. Things like campaign contributors, financial dealings with other parties, like the Rezko/Obama mansion deal, and wicked little memos that places like the Drudge Report and the Anti Liberal Zone would be very interested in. Plus it forces them to work to meet the requirements of their own laws they pass and forces them to spend more and more money doing it. Let’s take a page from Cloward/Piven, Obama’s buddies, and use their tactics back against them.

Monkeywrenching in the Urban environment.

This is the motherlode for us. Say there is a business run by an ardent Obummer supporter. Now boycotts never really work but exercising your freedom of speech sure helps it. Get a permit if need be (ALWAYS stay legal) and hold up a sign or if you speak well, a bullhorn and a soapbox, to let your fellow citizens know how owns the facility. Using sites like opensecrets.org allows you to find out how much they donated to Obama and other liberal scumbags. A reduction in their business equals a reduction in their tax base, a reduction in campaign contributions, and a gut punch to the collaborator.

The Gunny is reading the excellent book on Ben Franklin, “The First American”, and Ben Franklin attacked his opponents in the press with satire using anonymous names (due to the restriction on speech then-prior to the First Amendment). We don’t have to do it now and letters to the editor and blogs can toss a monkeywrench into the works very easily and cheaply too. When the Lapdog Media drops a story or fails to, keep putting it up in the public’s eye.

Billboards. ANOTHER excellent monkeywrench is the infamous billboard. Get together with friends and pool your resources. Get a billboard put up exposing Obama and his myrmidons. We can target the average American on the road who, say, doesn’t listen to Rush, and plant that seed of doubt in their brains. For example, a billboard reading: LIKE OBAMA CARE? THEN YOU LIKE TAXES! Or, ILLEGAL ALIENS LOVE OBAMA and add something on his open border stance. Substitute ANY liberal or RINO politician and you’re monkeywrenching them where it hurts. The Voter.

The French resistance used low technology to get the word out. They printed up posters of anti-nazis and anti-collaborator rhetoric and slapped them up around town. A little glue, a paint brush, a poster, and a monkeywrench is tossed. Check for areas that allow freedom of information (bulletin boards) and use it. Also, our Founding Fathers used pamphlets to great success. Anyone with access to a computer and a printer can have at it. Get the facts of Obummer Kare and slap them on a pamphlet. Get to a public area and pass them out.

Businesses who are anti-Obama, anti-socialist, anti-totalitarian, etc, can print up pens, coffee mugs, paper coffee cups, and distribute them. Sponsor a rally and serve free coffee with them and sign petititons with those pens. “Oh, you like this pen, keep it.” The Gunny is no accountant but some of that may be tax deductable! The infamous double-whammy! Haha.

We are limited only to our imaginations.

Monkeywrenching is civil disobedience. It is nonviolent. It is legal. We should never engage in direct sabotage and anyone yapping like that is likely a nutjob or an Obama plant designed to discredit us. We must pick our targets for their strategic value. The Obama supporter is always a great point, especially if they own a business. Nancy Pelosi’s vineyard in Napa, for example, is a great spot to hit. WHO buys her grapes? Do they know that they buy from her? Can they buy their grapes elsewhere? See where the Gunny is going here? This is where we hit hard, in their wallets. Most businesses operate with a small profit margin, in order to stay competitive, usually in the single digit range, and this small net profit is vulnerable monkeywrenching. A wicked boycott, along with posters, billboards, a rally across the street, etc, which reduces sales, hits em where they live. A determined campaign of monkeywrenching by patriots WILL cut into profits. Make them pay for supporting Obama and liberals. Any loss of production or sales, even on a temporary basis, becomes a costly factor. Interest payments on borrowed funds increase, payrolls for idled workers must be met, and buyers of finished products become impatient with missed deadlines. Conversely, inform the public on which businesses are ANTI Obama, ANTI Liberal, ANTI big government and direct people to them. Reputation is everything to a business, involving things like credit and insurance companies.

The fear factor will hit smaller supporting businesses and they may hesitate to do business with a company run by an Obama donor. For example, look at the losses Hollywood has incurred in movies that are anti-American and that we avoid. They tank to huge losses. Indeed, stop going to the movies period. Stay home, rent the DVD. Or better still, play a board game with the family.

The Press.

Notify the press when monkeywrenching is in operation. Say we’re holding a rally against Joe Schmoe, who owns Joe Schmoe Office Supplies. We find out that he gave 1,500 to Comrade Zero, and 500 to his liberal Congcritter who just voted Yes on ObummerKare. Call the news stations and newspapers. Explain why, in a polite and courteous term, why you’re doing this. It only takes a few people to make it happen and the press coverage, always looking for “blood and guts” reporting, can alert the public in a manner that helps us and hurts the targeted business. Have calling cards printed that state something about our cause and give them to targeted businesses or businesses that may be targeted.

In closing my friends, this fight is FAR FAR from over. It's time we made their drones pay.
