@@BrownDriver100 It's in May 2014 as 4-42 not 4-43. 4-42. The urban (terrorist) approach is an approach in which insurgents attack government and symbolic targets (for example an important religious building) to cause government forces to overreact against the population. The insurgents want the government’s repressive measures to enrage the people so that they rise up and overthrow the government. Although this type of method may develop popular support against a government that is particularly brutal or corrupt, it may only result in shallow support for the insurgency. The population may only see the insurgency positively because of the brutal response, not because they identify with the insurgency.
This happened in Quebec in 2012. Student protests against tuition fee hikes had gone on for 100 nights. The population was on the fence and many were annoyed. Then, the gov pass bill 78 which clamped down on public gatherings. The population reacted to this affront to civil liberties by joining the students. There were protests with hundreds of thousands of people in Montreal. It got so crazy that the gov had to call an election, and surprise, the party in power lost.
What's going to happen when they try to kidnap the wrong person? As a woman who has had a stalker who tried to kidnap her off the street in the past, if a group of guys in camo jumped out at me from an unmarked van and didn't identify themselves, I'd fight back. They'd end up maced, or worse, shot. Or I would end up shot for 'resisting'. I can't promise I would stop and think "wait these might be federal agents". Acting in self defense would just happen.

Beau ain't lying. I was in a community college Dental Lab Tech program (learning to make dentures, bridges, crowns, etc.) and the U.S. Military manual on that subject area was our textbook. "Manual" gives a false impression because, to many folks, it sounds like something small. It's huge and comprehensive.
Probably the best course of action is Portland is to remain calm, organized and not stop the protests. Stir up just enough shit from time to time to keep them tied down here, so their very limited manpower can't be redeployed elsewhere. Has anyone picked up any plate numbers from their rentals? A few demonstrations at the rental agencies might change their mind about renting to them.
The manual is 101 for an organization that sincerely wants peace. If chaos is what they want--chaos as a means of consolidating power--then they're following a manual from a different class altogether.
The manual is written by the DOD, it has nothing to do with peace. It is simply a matter-of-fact accounting of sociology and group dynamics and what are the best tactics to quell a movement.
@@CloudedAnon Sure, but largely talking about prepatory work with the explicit end of ultimately addressing underlying issues and "core grievances" that were the cause of the insurgency. That's peace work, yo. There's probably a manual for that. If, instead, you wanted to consolidate power you'd exacerbate core grievances to stir up an insurgence. Classic divide and conquer. Force the civilian population to choose sides, betting that you can aggravate the opposition into making unpopular moves, and that fear, propaganda, and a promise of stability would win most of them to your cause, even while you're looting them. That's a "whipsaw" attack where two sides attack the middle. I don't know if a manual for that kind of thing is published, but Bo was wearing an Ireland shirt in the earlier video, which made me think of it. He could have worn a shirt of many, many, many other places, too.
(Actually, while the consolidator uses propaganda, "winning converts" is the lesser end of the greater, which is to destroy their institutions and replace them with your own.)
As a veteran I cannot understand how any of these military people can justify these actions as legal. The UCMJ lays out explicitly what is and what is not a legal order. Abducting and secretly detaining peaceful protesters is definitely an illegal order!!
Trump has the maturity and general knowledge level of a 10 year old boy. Everything he thinks he knows is from watching television, and it's all wrong. He's not an evil genius, he's just a childish buffoon who Gumped his way into the Oval Office because it served the interests of Putin and the corrupt GOP. He does not control - he is controlled. He doesn't even have enough deeply held opinions that I can call him evil - the true evil are his enablers and people who still support him.
"Well howdy there, Internet people. It’s Beau again… So today we are going to talk about Portland, again, and manuals. So yesterday afternoon, in that video, I took some guesses as to how things were going to play out in the streets, in Portland. What the response to the federal government’s actions was going to be. I said it was going to strengthen the hand of those in the streets, and that for every person they snatched, it would bring ten more to the cause. That’s what happened. According to the live streamers who have been covering it, their estimation is that the crowd size doubled. I don’t have a crystal ball - I read the manual. I said that yesterday, and by the time I found out last night, by the time y’all watched this, that people thought I was being sarcastic or metaphorical. No, I’m dead serious. One hundred per cent literal here. There’s a manual on this. It is FM3-24. The portion in question, that we were talking about yesterday, about provoking a response, that’s covered in Chapter 4, paragraph 43 ish. Somewhere in there. And that’s how these books are laid out … it will be 4 dash 43, maybe 42. That’s how you’ll find it. It’s a military manual. You can download it for free at archive.org, or FAS.org, which is Federation of American Scientists. This is an incredibly valuable resource, because, yes, it has stuff like this. You can download manuals about this type of stuff. The military is a massive organization, though. They need people to do everything. And they have manuals for everything. So if you wanted a book about carpentry - they’ve got it. If you want to know how to drive a bulldozer - they’ve got it. It is a massive non-fiction section. If you were to combine that, with the Guttenberg Project and LibriVox, you have an entire public library. It’s an amazing resource, it’s something that everybody should tap into, even if you don’t think you have any interest in anything the military would publish a manual on, go check it out. I’ll bet there’s something there you’ll want to read. Everything from medical texts - it’s just tons, the list is endless. So definitely take a look. You already paid for it. Your tax dollars developed this, wrote the manuals, and put it up there. There’s no reason you shouldn’t have access to it. Ok, so what’s gonna happen in Portland next? It all depends on the federal government, and what they do. Hopefully, they’re gonna read their own manual, and realize they’re making critical errors. Those who are in this field, who understand this stuff well, they don’t agree on anything. They really don’t. It’s constant arguments. However, they all agree on this. You don’t give them a security clampdown. You do not provide a security clampdown in an area, where a movement has popular support. All you do is escalate things. That’s it. It never works. It’s in the book. Now, the manual that I gave you there, that’s 101. That’s introduction level. When you see the title of it, you’ll understand how important it is for the federal government to change their tune. Because that’s where this can take us. These types of movements can spin out of control very quickly. And they can go to a whole other level, it can get really bad, and I know there’s people right now saying, “It IS really bad!” No. It’s not. It’s uncomfortable. But it can get really bad if it’s mishandled. Currently, it is being mishandled. And it will continue to inflame tensions if they don’t start following their own books. Their own advice. Their own strategies. Which really, at this point, because this has matured through the cycle, the only option is to A: Wait and hope that it burns out or B: Bring them to the table, and listen to what they want. Those are the only two choices. It’s escalated through mismanagement too far now, because if they continue down the road that they’re on, it’s gonna be the title of that book. And nobody wants that. I think the only thing that occurred that wasn’t in the manual was the young woman in the mask, and only the mask that decided to face down law enforcement last night. That was a surprise. But everything else is in the manual. But definitely check out those resources. Check out archive.org, fas.org, LibriVox and Project Guttenberg. You can build an entire library for nothing. It’s worth the time to take a look at it. Anyway, it’s just a thought. Y’all have a good night. " (book…… FM 3-24 MCWP 3-33.5 INSURGENCIES AND COUNTERING INSURGENCIES)

I hope he doesn't mind because it's really useful for me in being able to go and read up on some of the stuff he talks about.
@@margaretnicol3423 Well, several reasons. One is, as Alex says below, many of us are better able to understand concepts if we read them, as opposed to hearing them. I am that way, so when I transcribe the videos, I come away with a greater understanding of what Beau is saying. And I tend to remember the important points for much longer that way as well. Two... I hate the mess that closed captioning makes of words. If even readable, it's often very far from the intent of the speaker. I'm a writer, an editor, and a researcher - I actually get my back up when I see misspellings and grammatical errors. I'm also trained as a stenographer/transcriptionist, which is not to say that this is easy for me, it's just the way my brain works. Three, and perhaps most important, not everyone has a good connection to the internet, or even the ability to watch a video all the way through without stops and starts. Lots of my friends are in transition.. they are adapting to working from home, often at their cottages or other places with iffy wifi. So this way, they can get the gist without the hassle. And fourth - because I've had people tell me that they like the overall idea of what Beau has to say, but not enough for them to sit thru even ten minutes of video. It's how a lot of people are now, very low attention available. And some, especially older people, are just "brain nearly at capacity" and will skim the transcription to see if they want to spend the brain power/time on a given subject.

I believe in the "Bad Enough" Theory: Things are bad and getting worse. Things will continue to worsen until they get bad enough that someone does something about them. The real question is: Is it bad enough yet? Or do we have to wait a while longer?
I think things will have to get a *hell* of a lot worse before they're " bad enough". I think we've gone beyond any hope that an election will solve things. Even if Biden wins, the Supreme Court will continue to drag the county down losing ever more of its legitimacy in the process. Civil War and violent revolution are probably inevitable at this point, but they won't start until a majority of the populace feels they have nothing to lose by risking their lives in violent clashes with the US military...
A little longer. We need the brownshirts and the right wing pawns to start it. If they don't leave Portland and pop up in other cities like they've threatened, welcome to bad enough. Act accordingly.
Rising homelessness is likely to be the final straw for a lot of people, and that's set to happen soon with rent moratoriums and financial aid running out.

But what if they want to escalate the situation, to bolster the law and order platform? Make things look completely out of control in a liberal city due to anti fa, so people around the country might accept more authoritarian law enforcement for “safety”
Then this was pretty much the worst way to do it. As he said, the government's own manual on insurgency and counter insurgency states not to supress a demonstration if it has popular support in the area because that attracts 10 times as many people as you supress. If you do that repeatedly you have to fight off a revolution or meet with their leaders to discuss reforming the regime. To supress revolution you should make yourself seem reasonable and willing to negotiate but that the opposition was so crazy they won't take any of your deals. Then you supress the revolution in the name of national security. Trump doesn't have overwhelming support or credibility with most people and can't effectively supress revolts. Biden however, would be more then capable of putting down antifa.

Protests were dying down at the point that the Goon Squad showed up- their presence, the extreme violence, the snatch and grabs, the "restricted airspace"... brought out tons of people who otherwise weren't invested in police reform or BLM. And as you said the other day, nothing radicalizes "regular civilians" more than being assaulted by the government- nice suburban Moms and Dads showed up to peacefully protest in support of their kids got gassed/LRADed/shot with "less lethal" munitions...The next day they were back in protective gear and angry as heck.

This happened in Quebec in 2012. Student protests against tuition fee hikes had gone on for 100 nights. The population was on the fence and many were annoyed. Then, the gov pass bill 78 which clamped down on public gatherings. The population reacted to this affront to civil liberties by joining the students. There were protests with hundreds of thousands of people in Montreal. It got so crazy that the gov had to call an election, and surprise, the party in power lost.
You nailed it! More unmarked federal thugs dissapearing people, and now there many more protesters on the street.

They'd end up maced, or worse, shot. Or I would end up shot for 'resisting'. I can't promise I would stop and think "wait these might be federal agents". Acting in self defense would just happen.

Although whether or not that would lead to injury, death or incarceration by these thugs is an unknown variable.

Depending on where in Oregon you are, that's probably wise. The rural areas of the state are about as Red as you can get, well into blatant fascist/racist nutjob territory. Be safe, but please be active if you can. I'm not able to be out on the front lines but a number of my friends are, and they can use all the support they can get.
Beau ain't lying. I was in a community college Dental Lab Tech program (learning to make dentures, bridges, crowns, etc.) and the U.S. Military manual on that subject area was our textbook. "Manual" gives a false impression because, to many folks, it sounds like something small. It's huge and comprehensive.
Probably the best course of action is Portland is to remain calm, organized and not stop the protests.
Stir up just enough shit from time to time to keep them tied down here, so their very limited manpower can't be redeployed elsewhere.
Has anyone picked up any plate numbers from their rentals?
A few demonstrations at the rental agencies might change their mind about renting to them.
The manual is 101 for an organization that sincerely wants peace. If chaos is what they want--chaos as a means of consolidating power--then they're following a manual from a different class altogether.
The manual is written by the DOD, it has nothing to do with peace. It is simply a matter-of-fact accounting of sociology and group dynamics and what are the best tactics to quell a movement.
@@CloudedAnon Sure, but largely talking about prepatory work with the explicit end of ultimately addressing underlying issues and "core grievances" that were the cause of the insurgency. That's peace work, yo. There's probably a manual for that. If, instead, you wanted to consolidate power you'd exacerbate core grievances to stir up an insurgence. Classic divide and conquer. Force the civilian population to choose sides, betting that you can aggravate the opposition into making unpopular moves, and that fear, propaganda, and a promise of stability would win most of them to your cause, even while you're looting them. That's a "whipsaw" attack where two sides attack the middle. I don't know if a manual for that kind of thing is published, but Bo was wearing an Ireland shirt in the earlier video, which made me think of it. He could have worn a shirt of many, many, many other places, too.
Exactly and that is why this dude is a fucking dope. Like most libertarians he seriously misunderstands the end goal of Authority.
@@rdecredico who are you refering to as a libertarian? I'm sure i missed something.
(Actually, while the consolidator uses propaganda, "winning converts" is the lesser end of the greater, which is to destroy their institutions and replace them with your own.)
Per an NPR interview with Acting DHS Sec Cuchinelli, they want to take the Portland program nationally. All hail the jackbooted thugs in the streets.
As a veteran I cannot understand how any of these military people can justify these actions as legal. The UCMJ lays out explicitly what is and what is not a legal order. Abducting and secretly detaining peaceful protesters is definitely an illegal order!!
They do not have enough people to take this nationally. You have a population of over 300 million.

They make every wrong decision like they are reading the manuals and saying, "well how do we do the opposite?"
That's what it seems like...
I think they're overestimating support.
Biggest problem is, the guy at the top doesn't read.
Trump has the maturity and general knowledge level of a 10 year old boy.
Everything he thinks he knows is from watching television, and it's all wrong.
He's not an evil genius, he's just a childish buffoon who Gumped his way into the Oval Office because it served the interests of Putin and the corrupt GOP.
He does not control - he is controlled.
He doesn't even have enough deeply held opinions that I can call him evil - the true evil are his enablers and people who still support him.
They are working from the wrong manual. Beau is talking about a military manual and they are working from the Oligarch's Cookbook.
@@Zomby_Woof Didn't he actually say he'd learned everything he needed to by the time he was five? I think he was trying to say how smart he was.
"Well howdy there, Internet people. It’s Beau again…
So today we are going to talk about Portland, again, and manuals.
So yesterday afternoon, in that video, I took some guesses as to how things were going to play out in the streets, in Portland. What the response to the federal government’s actions was going to be. I said it was going to strengthen the hand of those in the streets, and that for every person they snatched, it would bring ten more to the cause.
That’s what happened. According to the live streamers who have been covering it, their estimation is that the crowd size doubled.
I don’t have a crystal ball - I read the manual.
I said that yesterday, and by the time I found out last night, by the time y’all watched this, that people thought I was being sarcastic or metaphorical. No, I’m dead serious. One hundred per cent literal here. There’s a manual on this. It is FM3-24. The portion in question, that we were talking about yesterday, about provoking a response, that’s covered in Chapter 4, paragraph 43 ish. Somewhere in there. And that’s how these books are laid out … it will be 4 dash 43, maybe 42. That’s how you’ll find it.
It’s a military manual. You can download it for free at archive.org, or FAS.org, which is Federation of American Scientists.
This is an incredibly valuable resource, because, yes, it has stuff like this. You can download manuals about this type of stuff. The military is a massive organization, though. They need people to do everything. And they have manuals for everything. So if you wanted a book about carpentry - they’ve got it. If you want to know how to drive a bulldozer - they’ve got it. It is a massive non-fiction section. If you were to combine that, with the Guttenberg Project and LibriVox, you have an entire public library.
It’s an amazing resource, it’s something that everybody should tap into, even if you don’t think you have any interest in anything the military would publish a manual on, go check it out. I’ll bet there’s something there you’ll want to read. Everything from medical texts - it’s just tons, the list is endless. So definitely take a look. You already paid for it. Your tax dollars developed this, wrote the manuals, and put it up there. There’s no reason you shouldn’t have access to it.
Ok, so what’s gonna happen in Portland next? It all depends on the federal government, and what they do. Hopefully, they’re gonna read their own manual, and realize they’re making critical errors.
Those who are in this field, who understand this stuff well, they don’t agree on anything. They really don’t. It’s constant arguments. However, they all agree on this. You don’t give them a security clampdown. You do not provide a security clampdown in an area, where a movement has popular support. All you do is escalate things. That’s it. It never works. It’s in the book.
Now, the manual that I gave you there, that’s 101. That’s introduction level. When you see the title of it, you’ll understand how important it is for the federal government to change their tune. Because that’s where this can take us. These types of movements can spin out of control very quickly. And they can go to a whole other level, it can get really bad, and I know there’s people right now saying, “It IS really bad!”
No. It’s not. It’s uncomfortable. But it can get really bad if it’s mishandled. Currently, it is being mishandled. And it will continue to inflame tensions if they don’t start following their own books. Their own advice. Their own strategies. Which really, at this point, because this has matured through the cycle, the only option is to
A: Wait and hope that it burns out or B: Bring them to the table, and listen to what they want.
Those are the only two choices. It’s escalated through mismanagement too far now, because if they continue down the road that they’re on, it’s gonna be the title of that book. And nobody wants that.
I think the only thing that occurred that wasn’t in the manual was the young woman in the mask, and only the mask that decided to face down law enforcement last night. That was a surprise. But everything else is in the manual.
But definitely check out those resources. Check out archive.org, fas.org, LibriVox and Project Guttenberg. You can build an entire library for nothing. It’s worth the time to take a look at it.
Anyway, it’s just a thought. Y’all have a good night. "

Out of interest, why are you doing this?
@@margaretnicol3423 I don't know what Roxanne's reasons are, but the reason I'm grateful to have it is because I can sometimes take in what he's said more effectively by reading it. Especially sometimes when he refers to things not common in my dialect and I need to google it. Plus of course for the links. I hope he doesn't mind because it's really useful for me in being able to go and read up on some of the stuff he talks about.
@@margaretnicol3423 Well, several reasons. One is, as Alex says below, many of us are better able to understand concepts if we read them, as opposed to hearing them. I am that way, so when I transcribe the videos, I come away with a greater understanding of what Beau is saying. And I tend to remember the important points for much longer that way as well.
Two... I hate the mess that closed captioning makes of words. If even readable, it's often very far from the intent of the speaker. I'm a writer, an editor, and a researcher - I actually get my back up when I see misspellings and grammatical errors. I'm also trained as a stenographer/transcriptionist, which is not to say that this is easy for me, it's just the way my brain works.
Three, and perhaps most important, not everyone has a good connection to the internet, or even the ability to watch a video all the way through without stops and starts. Lots of my friends are in transition.. they are adapting to working from home, often at their cottages or other places with iffy wifi. So this way, they can get the gist without the hassle.
And fourth - because I've had people tell me that they like the overall idea of what Beau has to say, but not enough for them to sit thru even ten minutes of video. It's how a lot of people are now, very low attention available. And some, especially older people, are just "brain nearly at capacity" and will skim the transcription to see if they want to spend the brain power/time on a given subject.

Link to the manual: fas.org/irp/doddir/army/fm3-24.pdf
Section mentioned 4-42.The urban (terrorist) approach is an approach in which insurgents attack government and symbolic targets (for example an important religious building) to cause government forces to overreact against the population. The insurgents want the government’s repressive measures to enrage the people so that they rise up and overthrow the government. Although this type of method may develop popular support against a government that is particularly brutal or corrupt, it may only result in shallow support for the insurgency. The population may only see the insurgency positively because of the brutal response, not because they identify with the insurgency.

I believe in the "Bad Enough" Theory:
Things are bad and getting worse. Things will continue to worsen until they get bad enough that someone does something about them.
The real question is: Is it bad enough yet? Or do we have to wait a while longer?
I think things will have to get a *hell* of a lot worse before they're " bad enough". I think we've gone beyond any hope that an election will solve things. Even if Biden wins, the Supreme Court will continue to drag the county down losing ever more of its legitimacy in the process. Civil War and violent revolution are probably inevitable at this point, but they won't start until a majority of the populace feels they have nothing to lose by risking their lives in violent clashes with the US military...

But what if they want to escalate the situation, to bolster the law and order platform? Make things look completely out of control in a liberal city due to anti fa, so people around the country might accept more authoritarian law enforcement for “safety”
What do you mean if?
Then this was pretty much the worst way to do it. As he said, the government's own manual on insurgency and counter insurgency states not to supress a demonstration if it has popular support in the area because that attracts 10 times as many people as you supress. If you do that repeatedly you have to fight off a revolution or meet with their leaders to discuss reforming the regime. To supress revolution you should make yourself seem reasonable and willing to negotiate but that the opposition was so crazy they won't take any of your deals. Then you supress the revolution in the name of national security. Trump doesn't have overwhelming support or credibility with most people and can't effectively supress revolts. Biden however, would be more then capable of putting down antifa.
Thanks for the list of online organizations to reference and research from. I got each one set up on my home screen via an "app icon," that takes me straight to their sites, that way if I forget about them, they'll always be one tap away where I can't over look them.
Just recently found your site and have been enjoying it. I thought I would see if you had anything to say about Portland last year. "If they read the manual....." guess they didn't! Protests were dying down at the point that the Goon Squad showed up- their presence, the extreme violence, the snatch and grabs, the "restricted airspace"... brought out tons of people who otherwise weren't invested in police reform or BLM. And as you said the other day, nothing radicalizes "regular civilians" more than being assaulted by the government- nice suburban Moms and Dads showed up to peacefully protest in support of their kids got gassed/LRADed/shot with "less lethal" munitions...The next day they were back in protective gear and angry as heck.

Got this from a tweet: "Deputy Secretary of DHS Ken Cuccinelli tells NPR not only are they not stopping the Portland tactics they're going to take them nationwide."
Yep trump is looking at Chicago and NY next.
Even if there's a manual on it, I would have thought "overreacting to a percieved threat will make new recruits" would be common sense. I would guess that's how the Vietcong and Al-Qaeda/ DAESH recruited people.
It's getting serious out there . Look after yourselves. Solidarity from the UK.
Beau, I love that you have a memory like a steel trap for books, documents, history most of all, truth. Thank you for sharing your super powers with us.
People: Our voices need to be heard
Government: Let's place gas on this fire.
More people join.

You are promoting anarchy

@@suzannec4834 I suggest you look up the definition of anarchy. I bet it doesn't mean what you think it does.
Here in Portland. While my neighborhood hasn't been affected, shit's scary.
Is it possible they WANT to escalate things?
You are so on target, the support is growing. As for the woman facing down the cops, our Naked Athena, that is 100% an Oregonian thing. Portland is known for it's yearly naked bike ride. We are not surprised at all. We love her and consider her a hero.
The crickets are a nice touch.

"I was elected to lead, not to read!" - A cartoonishly stupid and unfeeling joke president whose only purpose is to set up a national disaster, presaging Donald Trump by 10 years.
Is that a Simpsons movie quote?
This comment and the reply are perfect. I'm sorry for ruining it
I have one hope if things really escalate, and that is that some of the most senior military leaders will not let thing proceed to where US Soldiers are warring against their own citizens. Many of them take their oath seriously, and i would hope they would protect the nation from disintegrating. As I say, it's just a hope. It's a better hope than thinking the White House will start acting responsibly.
Looks like some US Soldiers (Navy) are already on the front line. twitter.com/PDXzane/status/1284726088187310080
I'm wondering, what exactly does their oath say?
@@anna-flora999 I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).

hehe y'all are in danger
Hello from Portland...
When they shot Donavan LaBella in the head with an impact weapon, putting him in critical condition, they came very close to creating a martyr.
Howdy internet people 👋
I appreciate you giving out resources for info. "Its ours we paid for it." I'm inflamed already, get the feds out.
It's scaring the shit out of me, why is no one stopping him
Tldr: capitalism and greed
They desire to make us afraid & frankly, both sides do it. Get mad & active instead!
@@anna-flora999
monopolism, not capitalism.
Capitalism defines that the means of production are privately held.
This is not a problem as the only alternative is communism.
What you have a problem with is monopolism..
Adam Smith, 250 years ago:
_"The interest of the dealers [referring to stock owners, manufacturers, and merchants], however, in any particular branch of trade or manufacture, is always in some respects different from, and even opposite to, that of the public. To widen the market and to narrow the competition, is always the interest of the dealers. To widen the market may frequently be agreeable enough to the interest of the public; but to narrow the competition must always be against it, and can serve only to enable the dealers, by raising their profits above what they naturally would be, to levy, for their own benefit, an absurd tax upon the rest of their fellow-citizens."_
&
_"The proposal of any new law or regulation of commerce which comes from this order, ought always to be listened to with great precaution, and ought never to be adopted till after having been long and carefully examined, not only with the most scrupulous, but with the most suspicious attention. It comes from an order of men, whose interest is never exactly the same with that of the public, who have generally an interest to deceive and even to oppress the public, and who accordingly have, upon many occasions, both deceived and oppressed it."_

Advice: if you find something you REALLY want to keep invest in the ink and paper to print it. You'd be surprised how quickly power and internet can vanish in a real disaster.
Appreciate your insight here. People need to pay more attention
Welcome to the reservation
People of Portland u got a friend in Tennessee 😁 be safe n stay strong!!!!!!
My favorite part of watching your videos are the poorly targeted pro trump ads.
Beau, you have answered your own question, three words: ''books''. ''manuals'' and ''read''.
nobody in the White House reads.
Remember the 60s ,dogs, fire hoses, clubs And how did that work out 😂. John Lewis remembered😭
R.I.P to a true patriot
Pepperidge Farm remembers
We won some battles and lost others. All in all, it went fairly well although it was at a cost. Things worth fighting for always do.
Hey Beau, as a bloke from the UK I'm fascinated by your content. So much knowledge alloyed with so much common sense! It's men like you that will help to positively redefine the image of the US for the rest of the world. Thank you and keep up the great work!
I have a little copy of a manual called "Simple Sabotage Field Manual" Declassified from Jan 17, 1944. I found it in a box of random stuff at an auction
