South Dakota Would Do Well to Watch What’s Happening in Vermont, or Else

“Vermonters love their state, but most are struggling to afford to live here.  Many are paying $10,000 or more annually in real estate taxes on family land…but still the taxes escalate,” reports John Klar on a nightmare currently underway in his native state. 

       The article “Contesting the Progressives’ Takeover of Vermont” describes one more political battleground within America that is being deliberately ignored by television-based liberal news programs.  “Retirees sell up and live in RVs, ‘going mobile’ to avoid taxes,” he observes.

      Like Vermont, South Dakota is ripe for being taken over.  It’s just a matter of time.  Most of us are simply puzzled by the Democratic Party takeover of Colorado and other conservative states like Minnesota.  Only a handful of people will take the time to watch the Vimeo video Rocky Mountain Heist which spells out the takeover tactics that will soon be coming to South Dakota.  We’re too busy rooting for the Denver Broncos, which is nothing more than a top-dollar business corporation, not at all like hometown high school and college teams.  Pure entertainment.

      As always, the founding documents for the radical takeover can be traced to the 1960s era, says Klar.   “A 1972 Playboy magazine article (‘Taking Over Vermont’) laid out the plan now maturing to fruition,” he says, a strategy that was the same in other Northeast States, now all but leftist Democratic Party strongholds.  Low population states were targeted.  Majority rural land masses in these states are still conservative, but now politically disenfranchised.

       As in Colorado, big leftist out-of-state $$$$ blanketed cash-starved local media with saturation ads that were outright lies and smears, but enough to unseat conservative incumbents:    

    Behind it all is the realization that “Government only grows bigger — whether state, federal or local.  Eventually, governments become parasitic viruses that devour their host victims, which is precisely what is occurring in Vermont,” he says.  “The 49th in population (only Wyoming is smaller), Vermont is an easy target for the progressives who have long targeted it for socialist subjugation experiments.  Just as the Vermont Attorney General and Governor openly dip into Vermonters’ pockets to fund abortions and transgender surgeries, so have progressives long salivated at the idea of conquering this tranquil state precisely because it is tolerant.”

     Klar is convinced that the 1972 article is almost an exact blueprint for what Vermont and other states are now facing.  The Democratic Party radicals back then even foresaw that their “legal” strategy couldn’t be countered by Second Amendment types attempting a counter revolution: 

     “The short answer to all this — revolution — is impossible when armed revolt by the citizenry at large would inevitably be put down by the military might at the disposal of those in control. We see the best way out in rededicating this nation to its heritage: reopening the frontier, where alienated or deviant members of society can go to live by their new ideas: providing a living laboratory for social experiment through radical Federalism; and tutoring effective political communication in a multimedia society . . .The goal of this takeover would be to establish a truly experimental society to which new solutions to today’s problems could be tried, an experimental state which would serve as a new frontier and encourage imaginative local innovation [and], by its example, spur change to society as a whole.” 

      Klar describes what the stakes are right now in Vermont—and in South Dakota by implication: “Vermont’s progressives are deliberately heaping financial burdens on native Vermonters, even as they pile government rewards on welfare recipients, government employees, and favored progressive interests like Planned Parenthood, and ‘social justice’ groups.  Black Lives Matter and Antifa are welcome: locals are denigrated and condemned.  The state is infamously offering $10,000 payments (from poor Vermonters’ pockets) to wealthy out-of-staters to relocate here.” 

       Bernie Sanders was once the enabling elected Mayor of Burlington, later continuously elected to the US Senate by a handful of extremists.  Let’s be thankful that South Dakota’s highest elected officials are true conservatives who know about Rocky Mountain Heist, and are not GOP in name only.  Let them join John Klar in rallying the conservative base in South Dakota:  “In 2020, Vermont will flip red, sharply reversing the fortunes of those who misjudged this brave little state.  The natives simply can’t afford not to reclaim their heritage.”
