Resistance to tyranny is an important part of dystopian survival. It is not just about surviving, but about reclaiming our rights, dignity, and heritage so that we can build the best lives possible for ourselves and our families for generations to come. Just because Trump won, doesn't men the battle is over. At best, Trump's election may have bought us some more time. However, the forces of tyranny are not giving up! Here are nine books*, in no particular order, that are very useful in resisting the tyranny that is upon us:
1) Total Resistance - The classic study on resistance & underground operations, by Swiss Major H. von Dach. Often recommended by Pastor Joe Fox (aka Viking Preparedness), a former Special Forces officer. Available on Amazon.
2) Resistance Operating Concept (ROC) - Another great resource for resistance and underground operations. Also recommended by both Pastor Joe Fox (aka Viking Preparedness) and Bear of Bear Independent. Available on Amazon.
3) Human Factors Considerations of Undergrounds in Insurgencies: Second Edition - This manual is by the US Army Special Operations Command in 1966, and is focused "on the contemporary threat of Maoist insurgencies, particularly in Southeast Asia, and also draws extensively on World War II resistance movements in Europe. Much of this information is still relevant" in today's situations. Available on Amazon.
4) Unrestricted Warfare: China's Master Plan to Destroy America, by Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui (both officers in the Chinese military). This is literally the handbook the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been using in its (so far very successful) cold war against America and the West. Not only does it expose their tactics, but reveals to us pointers we can use against our enemies, be they the CCP or our own Western Elites. Available on Amazon.
5) Survivalist Family: Prepared Americans for a Strong America, by Pastor Joe Fox (aka Viking Preparedness), is a great guide to beginner and intermediate preparedness and survival for both short-term disasters and long-term emergencies. Preparedness and self-reliance are the foundations upon which any successful resistance must be built. Affiliate link for 10% discount.
6) Why Social Justice Is Not Biblical Justice: An Urgent Appeal to Fellow Christians in a Time of Social Crisis, by Scott David Allen. I bought this book shortly after it came out, and highly to recommend it to others, particularly believers attending churches that seem to be rejecting traditional Biblical values, while embracing social justice concepts (all in the name of love, tolerance, and diversity, of course). Sadly, the liberal "woke" modern church is one of the major problems we need to resist. Available on Amazon.
7) Live Not by Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents, by Rod Dreher. From the Amazon description page: The New York Times bestselling author of The Benedict Option (another book I would recommend if this was a longer list) draws on the wisdom of Christian survivors of Soviet persecution to warn American Christians of approaching dangers. Available on Amazon.
8) Unhumans: The Secret History of Communist Revolutions (and How to Crush Them) - If you don’t understand communist revolutions, you aren’t ready for what’s coming. This is not a book about ideology or politics. Instead, it reveals that communism, socialism, Marxism, and fascism are not philosophies but tactics - tactics that are specifically designed to unleash terror on everyday people and revoke their human rights to life, liberty, and property. These are the forces of unhumanity. This is what they do. Unhumans steals their playbook, breaks apart their strategies piece by piece, and lays out the tactics of what it takes to fight back and win, using real-world examples. Available on Amazon.
9) The NKJV, American Patriot's Bible, The Word of God and the Shaping of America - Two things being attacked in today's world: Biblical teachings and real history. This study Bible addresses both. One of my favorite translations, the New King James Version is literal, accurate, and easy-to-read for most modern folks. The American Patriot's Bible "shows how the history of the United States connects the people and events of the Bible to our lives in a modern world. The story of the United States is wonderfully woven into the teachings of the Bible." Lot's of articles and study notes showing the importance of God and the Bible to our nation's founding and subsequent history. Available on Amazon.
* I personally have copies of all nine of these books, eight as physical books and one in digital format. There are no "blind" recommendations here.
Probably need some help on getting logistics, specifically food, squared away. My recs: (1) "Gardening when it really counts" - serious basics when you can't buy supplies. (2) "Cold Times" - gardens, livestock, medicine, storing up, building, etc etc. Both on Amazon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recommendations. I have Gardening when it counts, but am unfamiliar with Cold Times. I will check it out.
DeleteThe Bear Went Over the Mountain. Soviet small unit tactics in Afghanistan by Lester Grau. Insurgency from the perspective of the Soviet Occupiers. The Soviets discovered the Afghans didn't care to have a Dictatorship of the Proletariat just as we discovered they weren't interested in a Democracy with Rainbow Flags later on.
ReplyDeleteI will check it out. Thanks!
DeleteGood list, I have several of them and will acquire printed copies of the ones I am missing. However, I have to disagree with #9 the NKJV Bible. I recommend that all patriots have a copy (printed or digital) of the Geneva Bible.
ReplyDeleteThis is the true patriots bible - written by men of God fleeing from persecution by bloody Queen Mary to Switzerland. There a team of dedicated individuals painstakingly translated into English, the Bible with all related notes & other information relating to the translations. This was printed and provided to all us serfs to read at home. Prior to this, only priests were allowed a copy of the Bible. Later King James commissioned the KJV of the Bible - wanting to re-establish in the Bible that priests and the ‘King’ are superior to the common man/serf. While the NKJV makes some improvements, the Geneva Bible was written as a direct communication between God and you. No priest or other 3rd party is required!

I have a digital copy of The Geneva Bible. I will hopefully acquire a physical copy from the link you included shortly after the New Year. Thanks for the comment!
