This article was written as a fictional example of how the first show down between Feds and the Patriots will be reported in the media/responded to by the gov and the people alike. It's based on real historical documents from Lexington and Concord and documents from the French Revolution.

It's actually the best and most accurate depiction of the labels and allegations that the Lame Stream Media would throw at the Patriots.

It's also pretty accurate as to how the first encounter will go. A small group of armed thugs in uniform will be taken by surprise (since no revolution is happening at the moment) by an rather overwhelming number of Patriots. The Patriots will only win two battles in the next American Revolution: The first battle, and the last battle. Patriots will have to expect with 99% certainty that they will lose 99.99% of the other battles, although we'll still win the war.

Claim: An ambush near Boston recently killed 72 National Guard troops.

FALSE

Example: [Collected via e-mail, November 2012]

True or false? 72 people killed during raid in Boston, involving National Guard and an automatic weapons cache. Really?

There is a story going around about the National Guard ambushed in Watertown, Mass. 72 killed, April 19-20. What can you tell me about this?


Origins: One common form of satirizing or commenting on contemporary events and attitudes is by projecting them backwards in time onto a familiar historical setting, or by doing the reverse and recasting a historical event in a modern setting. Such a technique is often used to demonstrate the supposed folly of a current political viewpoint by highlighting how impractical, absurd, or out-of-touch it would have seemed to persons of an earlier time. For example, shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the U.S. in 2001, Victor Davis Hanson penned a speculative piece dated 8 December 1941 which had the most renowned newsman of that era, Edward R. Murrow, reporting that President Franklin Roosevelt's address to Congress in response to the surprise Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor the previous day would be a call for understanding and cautious diplomacy rather than a declaration of war.
