The Truth About Starting A Militia - Navy SEAL Explains

Everybody online is talking about raising militias and fighting back against the government. As a former Navy SEAL and CIA officer — good luck with that. There's a reason every American uprising except one has been crushed, and the government's toolkit to destroy yours is bigger than you think. David Rutherford reads directly from the Declaration of Independence, walks through the real scorecard of American rebellion (Shays' Rebellion, the Whiskey Rebellion, John Brown's Raid, the Battle of Blair Mountain, the Bonus Army, Wounded Knee — and the Civil War that killed 600,000 Americans), and lays out the legal arsenal the federal government would use against any private militia: the Patriot Act, FISA 702, RICO, asset forfeiture, and a surveillance apparatus that makes your Signal chat look like a postcard. Then he gives you what actually works. Five legal, constitutional strategies to push back without getting destroyed. ✅ Sponsors: ☕️ Black Rifle Coffee: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ 🍊 Revival Nutrition: https://revivalnutrition.com/collections/rutherford Use promo code DAVID for 20% off 🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford: https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/ 📕 Get David's novel, The Poet Warrior: https://www.ballastbooks.com/ballast-bookstore/the-poet-warrior 📰 Sign up for David's newsletter for free coaching tips, updates, and more: https://davidrutherfordletter.substack.com/ 🎧 Listen To The Podcast: ➡️ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-david-rutherford-show/id1807090449 ➡️ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4p4wYEiUmm0PD79D5GZAV4?si=l-rPJBJORPi9IGB1eE3_pw ➡️ iHeart Radio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-the-david-rutherford-show-271920338?cmp=ios_share&sc=ios_social_share&pr=false&autoplay=true 📲 Follow us on social: https://linktr.ee/davidrutherfordshow 🕘 Timestamps: 00:00 - Why Everyone Wants A Revolution 13:26 - The Law, Why Your Militia Is Already Illegal 21:19 - The Scorecard, Every American Rebellion and How It Ended 27:35 - The Government's Toolkit: What They'll Actually Do to You 35:38 - A Better Way, Five Things You Can Do Right Now About: David Rutherford, former Navy SEAL and CIA contractor, breaks down national security threats, geopolitics, the economy, elite systems, and the psychology of courage.
