Commandancy of the The Alamo
Bejar, Feby. 24th. 1836

To the People of Texas & All Americans in the World—
Fellow Citizens & compatriots—

I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna — I have sustained a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man — The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken — I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls — I shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch — The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country —

Victory or Death.
William Barrett Travis.
Lt. Col. comdt.

P. S. The Lord is on our side — When the enemy appeared in sight we had not three bushels of corn — We have since found in deserted houses 80 or 90 bushels and got into the walls 20 or 30 head of Beeves.
Travis

About 100 thousand, that's all. That's spread out across every agency that arms some or all of their personnel, inc. the FBI, BATFE, DEA, IRS, Treasury, etc, etc. They have a vast number of tasks to do as it is. However, even if they were ALL told to stop what they are doing and do nothing but confiscate firearms, they still wouldn't have enough folks. Double their numbers. Still not enough. Can they cause huge amounts of pain and anguish? Sure they can. However, nothing would tick off more folks in this nation than some sort of crazy mass confiscation scheme. Folks that currently think of themselves as "moderates" and sit on the fence might take a dim view of house-to-house searches en mass. Besides, I truly think you are giving government agencies WAY more credit than they deserve.

That's not how it'll play out. Remember all the hype the past few years about how the White Supremacists are the biggest threat to America? How many incidents have you seen on the news about WS? If there had been, it would be all over the news non stop. I can count on one hand, how many I've heard of. And most of those were what I'd consider insane, not truly WS. My belief is that it's being ingrained into peoples psyche so that when anyone tries to stand off with them they're labeled WS. Instant public disdain. After a few reported incidents, you'll see them having your neighbors turn you in because they know you had guns. So you must be a WS. They won't just use ATF, they'll have NG along beside them. You'll see a few Waco's and Ruby Ridges. And seeing as we're not the ones antagonizing them, we won't be attacking back.

Consider:
The president is in charge of the military and federal law enforcement.
Boarder wall? Biden will tear it down by executive order.
INS, Customs, Boarder patrol? Told to stand down.
We will see a wave of illegal immigrants that will flood the boarder cities and spread out throughout the nation.
With Harris / Biden people in charge of the IRS, it will make Lois Lerner's crimes look like jaywalking.
Get ready for audits and investigations of the NRA, CCTKBA, GOA, SAF, etc. There will be show trials. People will be jailed.
Think the ATF's flip flopping on pistol braces was bad? Wait until all companies that sell ammo and parts by mail order get "Audited" and shut down.
Then there is the election of 2022.
If you think the cheating in 2020 was bad, you ain't seen nothing yet.
With no-one penalized and all the results solidified, the same folks will be encouraged beyond anything you can imagine.
There will be a red wave that will reduce the remaining GOP to a tiny minority.
As the head of the senate, Chuck will do exactly what he's been promising: End the filibuster, pack the supreme court, statehood for DC and Puerto Rico, confiscatory taxes, end _______ and that's just the first month.
I know we all like to talk about losing everything in a boating accident and it is funny (Well, was funny) but I promise you that Beto's storm troopers will not find it funny as they rip apart your house looking for everything you ever put on a 4473 for the last 20 years.
Not only will Beto be coming for your AR-15s, your AK-47s, but Hillary will be coming for your 401K and AOC for your private property.

This is not a country I want to live in, so I pray that Trump wins the lawsuits and recounts and then goes after the fraudsters and makes them pay such a price that no one ever considers cheating in an election again.
