Someone is pulling the strings, which we can infer from the fact that the protests are worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scariest part of this isn\u2019t the popularity or destruction. It is the fact that the government we pay to protect us, has largely decided to sit this one out.

In the first 10 years of the GWOT, many of us veterans got a Masters Degree in Urban Warfare. We have had to fight in a dangerous, unique environment since day one. And all of those lessons have application if you live in a Concrete Jungle. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSo I am happy this week to have published <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B089TWRYPL\/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=&amp;sr=&amp;utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"concrete-jungle-a-green-berets-guide-to-urban-survival-clays-new-book\" title=\"Concrete Jungle: A Green Beret's Guide to Urban Survival (Clay's New Book!)\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8220;Concrete Jungle: A Green Beret&#8217;s Guide to Urban Survival.&#8221;<\/a>\n This was what I could do, on short notice, to help the people now abandoned by the alleged peacekeepers of modern cities. It is down and dirty, without an ounce of fluff.\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The guide is designed to help those with no experience start from nothing. But it also has ideas on organization and structure, as well as tactics, that even our GunsAmerica audience will find helpful. Sections on arming and equipping may be laughable to our long time audience, but are designed to help the new guys. And keep you from answering a million questions from those you are trying to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are all in this together, as law and order crumble. The smartest thing we can do is defend where we can and organize for the future. I am of the opinion that the genie can\u2019t be put back in the bottle, and this is going to get a whole lot worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPick up your copy of Clay&#8217;s new book: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B089TWRYPL\/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=&amp;sr=&amp;utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"concrete-jungle-a-green-berets-guide-to-urban-survival-clays-new-book\" title=\"Concrete Jungle: A Green Beret's Guide to Urban Survival (Clay's New Book!)\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8220;Concrete Jungle: A Green Beret&#8217;s Guide to Urban Survival.&#8221;<\/a>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don\u2019t buy for a second this is an organic protest.
