“History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.” – Mark Twain
If you don’t see the correlations between America 2014 and America 1775, you need a history lesson.
Boston – National Guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed by elements of a Para-military extremist faction. Military and law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw.Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement.
Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor, who described the group’s organizers as “criminals,” issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government’s efforts to secure law and order.
The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed wide-spread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault weapons.
Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting in early this month between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized the forcible confiscation of illegal arms.
One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out that “none of these people would have been killed had the extremists obeyed the law and turned over their weapons voluntarily.”
Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition. However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily-armed extremists who had been tipped off regarding the government’s plans.
During a tense standoff in the Lexington town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists.
Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange.
Ironically, the local citizenry blamed government forces rather than the extremists for the civilian deaths. Before order could be restored, armed citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the guard units. Colonel Smith, finding his forces over matched by the armed mob, ordered a retreat.
Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The governor also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and leading the attack against the government troops.
Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as “ringleaders” of the extremist faction, remain at large.
And this fellow Americans, is how the American Revolution began, April 20, 1775.
On July 4th, 1776 these same “right wing anti-tax extremists” signed the Declaration of Independence, pledging to each other and their countrymen their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor. Many of them lost everything, including their families and their lives over the course of the next few years.
Lest we forget…

READ THE LE IF YOUR GOING TO REPLY. Unlike Ted and Dean.
none of them would have been killed if the government would have obeyed the law , its called the Constitution. the civilians are not the criminals here and I don’t think they are that type of extremists either or that they fired first. the troops are the bad guys here and they should have just stood there and did nothing when they were ordered to attack.
After reading people’s response to this article I can now understand how America ended up with an illegal person in the White House pretending to be a President while ruining the country on purpose. You people have been so dumbed down I would be surprised if you can wipe your own read end with out someone reading you directions! This story didn’t happen today! If you’d bothered to read the damn article you’d know that. No wonder we’re in so much trouble in America now. Sad, just so damn sad!
I agree, Diana. I find it hard to understand how many people out there are so ignorant of their own history. No wonder the country is I such a mess.
I heard nothing of this on the news! something that big would be all over the liberal channels and Fox News!
Its a flashback to 1775…….”….but this is actually how the first American Revolution got started on April 20, 1775.
Read the rest of the recounting on our site, this is what is happening today friends……” it didnt happen today.
Just who IS the Government? The People are the Government.. GO figure… Bob
John, you appear to be about the same age as I am. I, however am intelligent enough to remember the U S history classes from the seventh grade. If you had actually remained in school and paid attention to the classes you would know that this was taken from the history of the 1775 era.
Everything is planed……if there is to be an WWIII…then this Russia deal over there….could be the spark needed to set it off. The terrorists are actually the American Government, they have done everything from 9/11 to Boston Bombings to Sandy Hook…..all training FBI, FEMA, CIA etc exercises. You really do need to WAKE UP America……the entire World has…even Russia……hes pushing back against Obama…even though Obama threatens Putin. The spying on the entire world…..was the last straw. So yes…..WAKE UP, because you are being played….you are being lied to………….dont register your guns, buy more…..say NO to TSA traffic stops……they are illegal…..make it difficult for them. What will it take to wake you Americans up? The TSA groping ya private parts 10x times a day at airports, bus stops, traffic stops, shopping malls, baseball games? Your fast running out of time to fight back….its already started in California…..Gun shop raided just the other day, they took the customer list of over 5,000….computers, guns……anything they wanted. Because he would NOT just hand over his customer list. WAKE UP.
This is what will happen everywhere if you try and take something that doesn’t belong to you. You clowns didn’t pay for those weapons, so you can’t have them. You people are the same as a thief in the night. 🙂
