Scoot,
The American public may have the HORSEPOWER but we do NOT have the necessary ORGANIZING and LEADERSHIP. It would be VERY chaotic, sporadic, and lots and lots of little unorganized pockets of resistance by individuals and tiny groups that would be EASY to quell. I'm ex military and know first hand the TREMENDOUS advantage we had over similar 'tiny pockets of resistance'. And we didn't have anywhere NEAR the technical electronic capabilities available now.
We have to pray, that IF it ever happens, that our law enforcement and military will think twice. God bless and be with them.
All this is why it is absolutely CRITICAL that any attempt to shut down or gain control over the internet MUST BE FOUGHT against. Ham radios are gaining in popularity..........
