antipathy towards the Confederacy and its flag.) Once, however, the Crash hits and the welfare checks become increasingly worthless through inflation, and federal troops are patrolling the streets, we will become the Yugoslavia of the Western Hemisphere. Then , secession will finally have its chance.
    I firmly believe that the Rocky Mountain states will be the place to weather out this imminent "Rainy Decade." They are geographically defensible, beautiful, abundant in wildlife, and are generally populated by honest, "salt of the earth" folks. I highly recommend that you seek high ground now , while it's early and affordable to do so. Relocate to an area with solid, hardworking people, plenty of sunshine, and ample water. Learn a few valuable skills, such as carpentry, welding, gardening, ranching, auto repair, etc., because your "high-falutin" city skills probably will be of little worth for a while. Granted, we will climb our way up and out and rebuild what was lost, however, for a season, things may be pretty basic. (My book Boston on Surviving Y2K covered all this pretty thoroughly, and copies are available from Javelin Press for a real bargain price after Y2 æQué? )
    The final premise is that the Government will view this alpine convergence of self-reliant Americans as too embarrassing a contrast to the liberal urbanites who stand in soup lines. As the West becomes stronger and stronger, and the East becomes weaker and weaker, the Government will feel forced to act. Partition, much less secession, indicates to the world that Washington, D.C. has failed, and the politicians will do whatever they can to prevent the secession of a state. I expect they'd even call in foreign UN troops (as did the 1960s Congo Communists to forcibly regain the independent and prosperous Katanga region). This is where the "fun" begins.
    So, I have written Molôn Labé! with these assumptions: Early 21st century will be a mess, and the feds will worsen it to the point of instituting martial law. The President will then usurp the Congress through his Executive Orders. Dr. Gary North's prescient book, Government By Emergency , will come to pass. Will we win? Will we successfully carve out an oasis of freedom in America where our lives are our own again? You'll have to read the book and find out for yourself.
    Even if the feds back off and recognize the 2nd Amendment — even if alpine Americans are left alone to run their own lives — even if Molôn Labé! is destined to be pure fantasy, I'd hope that you'd nonetheless find it an intelligently crafted romp and well worth the wait.
    I hope to see you in Wyoming!

PROLOGUE
Americans tend to discount ideology; they do not realize that they are highly ideological themselves. Nor do they understand the true meaning of ideology, which is "science of ideas." Such a science is legitimate and needed, and it does not contain elements that are necessarily erroneous.
In any serious conflict, a rationale of success or victory is required, together with a horizon of knowledge and of ideas that are action concepts.
...The Free World does not understand the crucial point at issue: Unless a conflict is first won spiritually, it is unlikely that it can be won materially. Ideology is the bridge to spiritual victory.

    "Good morning, sir. Here are last night's figures. We have sufficient numbers for five, and almost six."
    The dark-haired man behind his desk nods and smiles. He is distinguished like an executive, but also tanned and rugged like a rancher. Little wonder. He's both.
    "Great news, Tom. Five will work. Five is all we need for Phase 1a."
    "What about the overflow from number six?" asks the assistant.
    "Let's spread half into the first five and reserve the remaining half until September for any surprises."
    "Yes, sir. That was my thought, too," agrees Tom.
    The rancher executive turns to his computer keyboard and briskly composes a short
