I've worked in state legislatures before and we have a lot of /ourguys/ there, a surprising amount in fact typically, but the issue is that the ruling elite, more so for the Republicans, is still this gerontocratic chickenhawk group that believes more in "principles" that they sold out years ago than in realpolitik. The fact that this manifesto got leaked is a sign that we have dudes in institutions who are willing to place actual good principles over policy, but the bigger issue is that those holding the levers of power fail to adequately do anything about it. Memphis is a great example of a continuing dumpster-fire of a situation that the state legislature continues to pump money into purely on principle. Why? The local government is not going to do anything to change or make the situation better (I previously lived there). You are not going to convince landlords and businesses to pump tons of capital into "communities" when said communities could only really be fixed by an Iraq War Surge-esque response. I had an opportunity to listen to the AG of TN speak recently, and he genuinely believes more in chasing down random products liability cases than nipping the festering issue of leftism and race communism in the bud. I'll have to go over my notes again but I was in awe that the issues of Democratic/Leftist dark money election funds using RICO on antifa/left-adjacent terror groups, or similar plays were not at all at the forefront of his agenda. Nice guy, truly, but this isn't an era for niceties. Excellent article, really gets to the bones of the anger a lot of TN folks have been feeling over the past couple years.
"We have a lot of /ourguys/ in positions of power but they will never do anything except continue to be paid for doing nothing"
It sounds like "we" have 0 people in positions of power. Sinecures and collaboration is nice for the person who gets the gig but not for everybody else!
I don't disagree with your point, but the issue is that the way the power structure currently works if our guys do take deliberate and open action beyond either slow-boiling some type of long term institutional change or making small moves that slowly tip the balance towards our favor they're gonna get fried by either establishment neocons or the leftist apparatus. We have guys that are at least amenable to our beliefs; I listened to a podcast recently and apparently some v. technocratic "neo-con" MP had a bunch of Evola and Carlyle on his bookshelf, but they face a similar threat or perhaps have made a sort of Faustian bargain in that they're complicit in letting this happen for other nefarious purposes. But what we are talking about are beat cops or legislative aides, who don't have any institutional leverage. Maybe things change with this, more likely they don't; the Californians moving here are decent conservative folks but they care more about just having a GOP-flagged rep than they do about meaningfully winning.
There is nothing wrong with having a job and keeping you head down. But just because somebody "in a position of power" is discontented with "the way things are going" doesn't mean they are going to do something. Political change never happens through subterfuge, but through distributing resources to openly proclaimed aims that makes a group congregate around it. This willingness to demand power by making a claim is why Donald Trump as a politican or Darren Beattie as an intellectual can be called /ourguys/ but the Tennessee politicians who rolled over and gave up the moment leftists turned up the heat on them cannot be.
Yeah I'm not saying those guys are , I'm talking merely about the agents they rely on (cops, aides, some bureaucrats) as being aligned with our values. And the more of those guys we have, the more that establishment GOP are going to have to either bend to our will or simply give up and let a new order reign.
This is a bit of a tangent, but you mentioned Austin's predicament with its prosecutors. There's a glimmer of hope that occurred this past legislative session. The Texas state government passed a law that opens up the possibility of removing pieces of shit like Jose Garza from office for "official misconduct," defined here: https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/LG/htm/LG.87.htm#87.011.
This law doesn't go nearly as far as I would like it to, but it's a sign that there are people in office that understand at least some of the problems we're facing and are trying to correct them. I wish they'd just skip this misconduct shit entirely and pass legislation that restricts the jurisdiction of these communist prosecutors to the physical territory of their office. Then expand the AG's criminal divisions to cover all routine prosecution in every blue city and county. There is no reason that this cannot be done if there is sufficient political will.
I live in the Lost Angeles area, so I understand the radical lunacy that has pervaded all things government-controlled and the complacency of the purposefully ignorantized (new word that fits) masses who just want the phony leftist Stasi to keep the free sh** and protection from consequences for their criminal actions rolling.
Glad to see someone else echo my sentiments on this. I run a publication in Nashville and have attended Covenant for almost two decades. Have family that are elders there, etc.
I do not think it's as far as that, it strikes me are more likely that the boys down at the TBI don't care enough or are held back again by "principles" that prevent them from actually doing anything meaningful. Is also possible they're just overloaded with state criminal stuff.
1) There's no such thing as a "deep red state." Further still, there's no such thing as a "red state" so long as a single facet of the bureaucracy is held by the longhouse, the poorhouse, or the foreign-house.
2) Accepting Point 01, the logical conclusion is that conservatives should have one goal only, and it should be pursued at every level: reduce bureaucracy. This is not a platitude, it's a mission statement.
Get organizations, corporations, and foundations to do what the bureaucratic entities are ostensibly charged with doing. They will do it better because they have actual skin in the game.
Create objective measures that can be held against candidates' and sitting politicians' tenure: "You were given power in "X" and served until "Y" and in that period, organizational head count went (+/-). Explain." If they start to talk about Israel, or abortion, or taxes, or any of the other special interests/primary red meat, boo them into silence. I am completely serious. 9/10 primary meetings are populated by less than 20 people, often less than 10, in Red Counties. If you show up with 10 people who will back you, you will have the candidates eating out of your hand. If you film it with just the minimum amount of skill, and don't lose your cool, your phone will never stop ringing with requests, threats, and promises, all amounting to "please stop, we'll do anything."
Find AI tools that can do what bureaucracy does, make a YouTube video, and blast it out. Show people that Karen and Ka'reem and gay Ken down at the government center are just draining state coffers to do the job poorly. Dumb AI can do everything they do cheaper, faster, and better.
In Law Enforcement there is a term called "pain compliance." It takes many forms, and is widely applicable to our situation, but it puts me in mind of the "become ungovernable" memeplex, which has its value and uses. But that's not what I am proffering here. I am saying "Make them govern or make them quit." Most have no idea how incredibly "highschool theater + highschool government" state politics are. It is women with no agency anywhere else but the rooms reserved for campaign events. It is closeted gay men in cowboy hats with unhappy beards playing kingmaker because they can get conference rooms at half price. It is people with little sense and no shame willing to talk for hours, literal hours, until the board or committee or candidate relents just to end the suffering. It is SINGLE ISSUE VOTERS with a single purpose in life: be heard. That's it, that's what really drives the local political apparatus. I know I am missing some subgroups, but those are the ones I've encountered everywhere (leaving out interns and college extremists because fuck'em lel). This is the "Primary World' and it is the single point of failure for the whole Artifice of Democracy. Every "new chapter" in American politics is someone realizing "nobody participates in the primary system because it is boring and silly; I will pay people to participate and control the whole ballgame to achieve (x)."
Long rant, blame MG for making me think, but don't take my word for it, go to the primary events in your area, hell, drive 500 miles and do it, it's the same everywhere with rare exception. This is a battlefield on which we can WIN. Let's get in the game bros.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant. The UK Soviet is burying the Matt Petgrave / Adam Johnson incident. I am drafting a post, but will not publish until the police have completed their investigation. Let me know if interested in cross-posting.
If it really was just some rando in the department who got a hold of a few photos and leaked it, I hope he used some good op-sec. Imagine the damage we could do if there are thousands of these guys in every institution who are able to keep their mouths shut and throw monkey wrenches in things, whether through leaks, sabotage through bureaucratic shenanigans, or facilitating constant infighting? Imagine if a few of these guys in power hired a few more of /ourguys/? It wouldn't take much to grind these evil places to a halt.
The truth is the faster things grind to a halt, the faster alternatives can get in place and compromises can be made, even for critical items like police stations.
> The Mayor directed an investigation into how the images could have been released, citing concerns for the safety of families affected by the shooting.
>Similarly, the Police Chief claimed the release showed a "Total disregard for the families" and that they were "not at liberty to release the journals until the courts rule."
> However, according to another journalist who debunked these claims:
1. The families said in a court filing that the documents could be released after the school year ended.
2. The Police are the only ones preventing release, as that is what is being demanded in the lawsuit by other parties.
Where? Who are these people who have said even one-third of what you have said here in public under their own names and asked to be given power so that they may disenfranchise NPR-Americans? What are their names? How do we help them accomplish what they've promised?
This post is about how local Tennessee politicians should resists leftists in government. It is the job of a politicans to demand power in exchange of service to their constitutency. If you don't have politicians how say "I am so and so and I will defend your rights against these social terrorists" then you don't have anybody in power who represents your interest. If you don't understand this, you are an idiot.
There are a lot of good people standing around watching their world be torn to pieces by leftist loonies who serve the elites like the good dumbass dogs they are.
Looks to me like the Russians and Chinese are sitting in them. No takers from the west, though. We aren't serious about our own survival. It's more of a hobby, really.
Spot-on again, CC. I think the reason normie conservatives fail to realize the life-or-death struggle they are in is because they think everyone thinks like them, with ideas about fair play and open debate.

Exactly right! They must be MADE to stop! Tolerance and forbearance only empowers them. But, whenever some group or individual does anything violent, the shit storm will be epic. That’s what they are trying to incite. Look at how hyperbolic they are about January 6.

Also I'd hardly call working as a beat cop at MNPD a sinecure

Hey I’ve lived in North Austin for 5 years. It’s an amazing place with some serious shit wrong with it (George Soros prosecutor, homeless, filthy).
Just recently a woman was executed in a road rage incident by a repeat offender out on bond.

Glad to see someone else echo my sentiments on this. I run a publication in Nashville and have attended Covenant for almost two decades. Have family that are elders there, etc.
I first wrote "Burn the Manifesto" using the same argument you did originally: https://pamphleteer.co/newsletter/no-468-burn-the-manifesto/
Since then, have revised that position just as you have, though I don't think they're preventing the release for devious reasons: https://pamphleteer.co/newsletter/no-604-sunlight/
Thanks, Davis.
I think the main problem is that Nashville is controlled by leftists. They fucking suck for lack of a better description.
How are they able to control the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation? That org is obviously for the State as a whole.
Blackmail or extortion is possible. Monetary bribes as well.
I do not think it's as far as that, it strikes me are more likely that the boys down at the TBI don't care enough or are held back again by "principles" that prevent them from actually doing anything meaningful. Is also possible they're just overloaded with state criminal stuff.
Kindred spirits more likely.
Sobering discussion. Impotency of republicans is pathetic.
Two takeaways:
1) There's no such thing as a "deep red state." Further still, there's no such thing as a "red state" so long as a single facet of the bureaucracy is held by the longhouse, the poorhouse, or the foreign-house.
2) Accepting Point 01, the logical conclusion is that conservatives should have one goal only, and it should be pursued at every level: reduce bureaucracy. This is not a platitude, it's a mission statement.
Get organizations, corporations, and foundations to do what the bureaucratic entities are ostensibly charged with doing. They will do it better because they have actual skin in the game.
Create objective measures that can be held against candidates' and sitting politicians' tenure: "You were given power in "X" and served until "Y" and in that period, organizational head count went (+/-). Explain." If they start to talk about Israel, or abortion, or taxes, or any of the other special interests/primary red meat, boo them into silence.
