It’s been nearly a week since Craig Deleeuw Robertson was shot and killed by an FBI SWAT team in the early morning hours in a quiet neighborhood in Provo, Utah. This was one of the most personally difficult incidents that I have researched and written about. Why? I knew it was coming. I didn’t know who or exactly when…but I knew it would happen.

It has taken me this many intervening days to work up the desire to do the research and then write. But this article started back on January 21^st, 2021…yup, more than 2-1/2 years ago. Here is what I wrote and when:

1/21/2021 – In the article “Freight train is almost here…” I wrote, “As I mentioned earlier, I expect the purge committees to target bigger, high-value targets initially. However, I don’t rule out them going after some lower hanging fruit…” and later in the article I stated “The persecution and violence is coming!”

9/12/2022 – In the article “IMPORTANT: It’s Here…It’s Happening…and they are telling us what’s next…” I wrote, “At some point soon, I don’t know when exactly, the US federal government is going to go ‘bare knuckle’ violent on all those they have painstakingly identified as a ‘threat’…and that is a long list of citizens.” Later in that article I wrote this, “The FBI will come for some low hanging fruit first.”

4/21/2023 – In the article “>>> CRITICAL – Here it is…” I wrote, “In this operation they have already targeted some ‘low hanging fruit’ to go after first and soon. The first indictment has already been processed and the wording will astound you.”

6/12/2023 – In the article “>>>WARNING – Feds Expecting/Wanting Violence…” I wrote, “I want to lay this out for you…the feds are very well trained, they are armed with military weapons and equipment, they have been given ‘carte blanche’ by the DOJ and the President when it comes to dealing with domestic terrorists. And yes, you have probably already been identified as a potential domestic terrorist. The feds are highly motivated, very well-paid, and somehow they have twisted their minds into thinking they are the defenders of all things Constitutional. Most have some kind of weird mental illness that have allowed themselves to be manipulated into becoming ‘true believers’ of an almost some cult-like ideology. They are dedicated to wiping out the patriot movement or any group or individual even resembling a pro-Constitution, pro-life, pro-liberty, pro-rights, pro-freedom, or pro-gun way of thinking.”

It is all now coming true…the FBI went after “low hanging fruit”…one of the most vulnerable and easiest they could find and kill.

Now, let’s get this out of the way and set the record straight from the very beginning…

• Threatening the life of the President is illegal. Under US Code 18 U.S.C. § 871 you can’t even threaten to harm the President, or even a Presidential candidate for that matter. This includes even during a US citizens’ exercise of Free Speech guaranteed by the First Amendment. The US law is modeled after the English Treason Act of 1351, where it was even illegal to “imagine” the death of the King. In 1917 the US code was enacted to go after anyone who expressed any words demonstrating even a vague spirit of disloyalty to the US government. Threatening the president of the United States is a class D felony, just about as low on the felony totem pole you can get…but it can get you sent to prison…or to the grave.
• It appears, with little doubt, that Robertson made numerous and clear threatening statements against the President, Vice-President, and other governmental officials.
• It also appears, with little doubt, that Robertson posted those threats in several online media formats, websites, and clearly identifiable to him.
• There is some doubt as to some of the photos brandishing weapons being Robertson himself.
• Not only is threatening the life of the President and Vice-President illegal, it is highly stupid for a person to do. It draws the attention of the Secret Service and the FBI. And that attention should be ‘unwanted’ by anyone. I also personally believe that it is wrong to make any threats, personal or public, against the President regardless of personal political views. It just doesn’t make sense.

But hang with me here…there is much more to this story.

The morning of the killing, August 9^th, the large, heavily armed FBI SWAT team approached Robertson’s home before dawn, approximately 6am. But here is where events differ; law enforcement officials state they began using a bullhorn to tell Robertson they had a warrant for his arrest as well as to search his home. When he refused them entrance they attempted to enter through his front door; they were unable to do so. They then brought in an armored military vehicle and drove it through the front window of his house and the FBI made entry. At this point law enforcement says he was armed (although anonymous and unverified), shots were fired, and Robertson was hit multiple times. He was then brought out to the sidewalk where medical personnel attempted to revive him.

Now, multiple civilian witnesses first-hand accounts vary significantly from the official law enforcement account. The primary differences are:

• Large number of law enforcement vehicles positioned throughout the neighborhood blocking off all neighborhood access, driveways, etc.
• More than 20 FBI SWAT team members and agents lined up around Robertson’s house, all in tactical gear and carrying military weapons, and wearing body armor.
• Multiple large and loud explosions were heard and seen prior to any shouting over a bull horn.
• After entry by FBI SWAT team into Robertson’s house a shout was heard, “He has a gun!” and then a sustained barrage of shots from multiple weapons.
• After the firing ceased a loud explosion was heard by the side of the house.
• He was dragged out of the house dead, naked from the waist up, and his body left on the sidewalk.
• “Clearly he was dead” was mentioned by several civilian witnesses as he as dragged from the house.

Before I go on, it is now time to define who Robertson was:

• He obviously had some potent political beliefs…mostly conservative and definitely a Trump supporter. It would be fair to say some of his expressed opinions were violent in nature.
• He was also an Air Force veteran.
• He was also a 75-year old senior citizen.
• He was also approximately 5’ 4” or 5’ 5” tall and weighed 300+ pounds (morbidly obese).
• He was also mostly immobile, incapable of walking without the assistance of a cane or walking stick (handicapped).
• He also had multiple additional medical problems and incapable of walking more than a dozen yards, and even then requiring assistance to do so.
• He was also partially deaf (hearing impaired).

Those who knew him best described him as:

• Frail
• Largely homebound and had limited mobility.
• A decent man.
• He would ask about the well-being of neighbors’ children.
• He regularly offered to drive people home from church.
• He was active and faithful in his local church; he was a devote Christian.
• He was a super sweet grandpa type.
• He had a peaceful, religious, community-centered side to him.

A chilling statement from a neighbor who spoke on the condition of anonymity (out of fear of retribution from the FBI) said they were shocked by the police presence and disturbed by what they saw involving the shooting. “I just can’t believe that this man warranted that kind of response.” And that my friends is where we need to focus.

In March two FBI agents visited with Robertson and found him to be no threat. Had Robertson been a threat, they would have arrested him on the spot. So now you have to ask the question, “Why the full military response and killing of a man who was physically incapable of carrying out any threat against the President?”

Think about it, a 75yo, frail, almost entirely immobile, obese and handicapped man be treated like a domestic terrorist that required dozens of FBI SWAT team members and an armored vehicle…and who was killed while half-dressed.

But then you have to add in this…why attack his house at 6am? The answer should shake you to your core…it is a military tactic designed to catch an enemy force off-guard and make them easy to kill because they are just waking up or still asleep. Also, if you were woken up from a sound sleep by shouting through a bullhorn with explosions occurring, and people attempting to smash your front door in…would you understand what was going on and what was being shouted?

So you ask yourself a logical question…why not just arrest him in his driveway while he is hobbling with his cane to his car on the way to church? Great question! Maybe it would be because he would be in full view of neighbors and less easy to kill…and thus of no use as a message to others.

Yup, it would make much more sense to make the safest, easiest arrest possible…so why didn’t the FBI chose that option? Then again, why not just send the same two FBI agents to his house again to question him, then if needed, arrest him without incident during the questioning?

But let’s not ask/answer my questions. Let’s go to valid, reliable, and qualified sources for more information. Not one, but two former FBI agents that have become whistleblowers. One of which was a member of an FBI SWAT team. Their statements (my paraphrasing) regarding the incident are these:

1. There should never have been an attack by an FBI SWAT team; certainly no armored military vehicle involved.
2. The attack should not have occurred at 6am, that is reserved for the most violent and dangerous of all suspects.
3. The man posed no true/actual threat to agents.
4. There should have been no deployment of flash bangs.
5. There should have been a de-escalation of the situation far before any raid.
6. This operation was outside of FBI protocols and illegal.

And they go on…both stating that this is a flagrant example of FBI exercising power and authority that is it legally doesn’t have.

So why did the FBI conduct this kill operation?

I already told you over the last 2-1/2 years…this was another escalation by the FBI/DOJ and current administration of violence towards anyone who opposes them. It was simply a message of warning against US citizens…comply or die. Leaving the dead body on the sidewalk in the sun to rot was a photo opportunity for the media…an opportunity to send a clear message to all those who oppose the power of government and the FBI.

And it will only get worse. Sadly, a frail old harmless beloved grandpa was sacrificed to deliver this message by monsters; they can be called nothing less. Had the whole event been filmed in black and white, you would have most likely guessed you were watching a documentary film from 1939 Germany.

Consider this answer…bend a knee and pray to a merciful Father in Heaven. Plead with God for hard hearts to be touched and opened to the pure evil which they commit and are about to commit. Appeal to God to allow more and more people that are caught up in delusion to see the error of their ways, and to leave that environment. Beg God to have these ruthless and violent individuals understand what they are caught up in and to desire once again peace, a civil society, and a Bill of Rights strong with rights, liberties, and freedoms that are not infringed upon. Implore God for a peaceful solution to the demonic state of affairs that grips our country and for evil to be vanquished. With tears in your eyes ask God to stop those that commit such heinous acts of violence towards those that are so weak and frail. May God save us.

Important Note: The threats that Robertson made were both wrong and illegal and he should have never made them. I do not condone what Robertson did, nor should anyone else do what he did. As I have warned repeatedly, this kind of activity will get you targeted and killed by the FBI. Regardless of the ruthlessness and monstrous murder of Robertson at the hands of FBI militants, you should not get involved in these kinds of online activities or make threats against government agents or officials, which is a violation of the law. If you do these kinds of things you too will give radicalized FBI personnel all the reason they need to kill you as well. Don’t do it!!

It’s been well known for many years that the law enforcement industry has embraced the “comply or die” mentality. You either obey them –comply– or you die…of course always sprinkled heavily with ‘officer safety’ (police get out of jail free card). This we certainly know is especially true with federal law enforcement agents…their authority is never to be questioned, let alone resisted…just ask the FBI. The utter arrogance of federal LEOs (especially the FBI) is staggering, their delusion of grandeur knows no limits, their lust for power and authority knows no bounds.

In my series “POST-DISASTER PERSONALITIES,” part 4 (Mass Murderers) article I covered a personality phenomena, where during WWII, a strange transition took place. The book Ordinary Men by Christopher R. Browning documented in detail how normal, everyday police officers in Germany (non-Nazis) became maniacal, unrestrained mass murders. And they did so while performing law enforcement duties…sort of…if you consider rounding up hundreds of thousands of Jews to be shot outright or sent to gas chambers to be murdered en mass, as their duty. But the pretense of their mission was to keep the peace in recently conquered territories, primarily Poland.

I read the book closely, searching for details, documenting and scribbling notes in the margins. A very clear pattern began to develop…a “comply and die” mentality among the thousands upon thousands of police officers’ victims.

Mothers holding infants, fathers hold son’s hands, brothers carrying sisters almost to the person obeyed the orders of the German police officers…even knowing they were going to their deaths. At times they could even hear the gun shots at the slaughter pits as they willingly walked directly towards those same pits and their certain deaths.

The Ivanhorod Einsatzgruppen photograph is an image of the Holocaust, showing a German soldier aiming a rifle at a woman who is trying to shield a child with her body. It depicts the murder of Jews by an Einsatzgruppen death squad near Ivanhorod, Ukraine, in 1942. (Photo by: Universal History Archive/Universal Images Group via Getty Images)

Since this pattern of “comply and die” wasn’t the focus of the article I was writing back then, I held off relaying this phenomena until now. However, at this point in time, in the US and world in general, with everything going on around us…now is the time I must write about it. It is germane to our times…and I believe this knowledge to be essential to our very survival.

After several hundreds of pages of reading there was only a single question that mattered to me in regards to this mentality…Why?

Why in the world would they obey these police officers’ orders knowing full well they were going to their certain deaths? But not just their deaths…the deaths of their spouses, their children, their brothers, their sisters, their grandparents, their aunts and uncles, neighbors…even entire families! Why would they choose to comply and die vs resist and at least have a chance at living?

My first thought was “hope” that something might happen, some miracle might occur that would prevent their horrific ending…a bullet in the head or a lethal gas shower. But day after day, month after month, year after year proved that no such miracle was going to come and save them. Their end was certain…it was inevitable…it was death. So “hope” didn’t seem likely as a reason.

Then it became painfully clear…they had been conditioned to “comply”…comply to authority. By in large, the majority of the folks rounded up were good people…the children most certainly were. In their communities they were good citizens, good neighbors, good family members, and obedient to police authority; some had fathers and brothers that were German army veterans of WWI. However, the police were the representatives of, the enforcers of, government. So they were conditioned from childhood to obey the police…obey the orders of government…to comply to authority no matter what.

And to reinforce premise of that concept…the whole of Europe had been under the rule of tyrannical and oppressive monarchs, kings, dictators, emperors, and ruthless conquerors for thousands of years. You could easily make the case that “comply,” “submission,” “obey”…even serfdom…had become part of their mental state, if not their genetic structure.

Could there also have existed the concept that police officers were the good guys, the ones who helped, the ones who arrested the bad guys, the ones who protected them, the ones who served up justice. Were the police were viewed, almost universally, as the good guys. Well, maybe not so fast.

Police are police, cops are cops…and in my article “Do We Need Police Reform?” I pointed out the cold hard facts in the US at least:

• Only about 18% of all property crimes are solved.
• Only about 45% of all violent crimes are solved.

On any grading scale those results are a resounding grade of “F”. And to make matters worse…police in the US cost US citizens trillions of dollars every year out of our pockets. There is no evidence that the German police officers were any different…very likely not the ‘good guys’ in any objective term.

Don’t jump to conclusions…I am not saying that all police are wicked or evil…but the German police officers became such…when ordered to do so. And the millions of citizens that were marched off to their deaths didn’t see a problem with the whole “comply and die” thing.

Again…Why?

I think ‘comply and die’ was ultimately based on three things:

1. The mentality that all cops are good all of the time and only want what is best for us.
2. The concept that the police are, or at least represent, ultimate authority and must be obeyed in order for someone to be considered a good person and loyal citizen…and to stay out of prison.
3. They didn’t recognize the transition of police officers to evil mass murderers…or they had no mental foundation with which to resist that evil.

It is painfully evident that #1 is utterly untrue. There is no hard and fast evidence as to what percentage of cops are good or bad. Based on the increasing number of bad cops being arrested, tired, and imprisoned…and applying some statistical norms…I believe 30 – 55% of all law enforcement officers could easily and accurately be classified as “bad” or close to it.

As for #2, the first part is true…cops are, or represent present day ultimate authority, governmental authority. They are referred to as “law enforcement officers” not public/citizen protectors or rights/liberties/freedom defenders. No, they exist to enforce the law that government bureaucrats and politicians impose on, force upon, us. But what about the second part of #2…if we disobey LEOs, does that make us a bad person? Does it make us a disloyal citizen?

What about disobeying a bad cop? Or, how about disobeying a good cop in the act of enforcing an unconstitutional law? What does that make an otherwise regular person in those situations?

Just for a minute…take #2 in the context of the Nazi Germany. Or how about in the context of the American Revolution? Think about that for a minute if you would, please.

Finally #3, why didn’t they see the transition? I mean to me it seemed pretty dang obvious…ticket pushers to mass murderers shooting infants and sometimes just burying people alive en masse. Or, did the police officers make transition slower…one step at a time…one lie at a time…one small incremental change at a time?

Or, as I suspect…did the people being forced to their deaths simply not have the spiritual or mental foundation to resist evil? Did they, with extremely few exceptions, lack the courage or will or mental ability to resist the horrific monstrous actions taking place? Was the ‘comply’ concept so overriding they simply could do nothing else?

Those observations and speculations are from the comfort of hindsight…hardly fair to those that lived through it. I acknowledge that and appropriately apologize to those that I have offended.

Here is the question that is now bothering me right this minute…Are we living through it now?

Obviously LEOs in the US are not mass murderers…although there are plenty of reports daily of cops killing unarmed people, sicking attack dogs on people to mutilate and kill them, etc.. In the US we don’t have widespread, or even small areas, where cops are rounding-up people to shoot them or send them off to the gas chambers. But what if they were already taking those small incremental steps to get to that point? Acquiring the unquestionable authority and means to become that which can become monstrous?

What if they were already militarized with gear and weapons? What if they already used military vehicles and tactics? What if they already assumed martial law authority when it suits them? What if over the last 130 years they have steadily eroded our rights, liberties, and freedoms? What if they have already established the right to stop and demand identification from anyone they wish? What if they already worked with secret FISA courts outside of US Constitutional due process? What if they have moved beyond the concept of “comply or die” to “comply and die anyway”?

What if we have been completely conditioned to “comply” in order to be a good person and loyal citizen?

Stand up patriot…salute the flag with the blue stripe damn it!!

What if we are being threatened into submission?

What if the Colonists 250 years ago had, to the person, been completely conditioned to comply with British soldiers enforcing the laws of a tyrannical and oppressive British government? Where would we, the USA, be now? Would the US Constitution even exist? Would there even be a USA if the Colonists had been successfully conditioned to comply?

Would we, individually, become so conditioned as to comply with…well, anything and everything we were/are told/ordered to do? Are we already there? Do we resist the wrong, evil, or illegal aspects of government or their minions today in the here and now…or do we accept it and move on?

Or, as freedom loving, Constitution loving, individuals…do we know how to exercise our agency when it really matters? Do we know when we should not comply? Do we have the courage and will to not comply? Do we know how to appropriately not comply?

Maybe, just maybe…that is why we have the Bill of Rights!  Questions is…Do we have the courage, mental fortitude, and willingness to not comply…to resist…to fight against…evil?

What would our Founding Fathers do?

Several serious signs have been reported that may clearly show the path that the US markets are heading down that I am concerned with:

1. Bank of America says stocks are headed for a ‘Big Collapse’ and soon. Chief investment strategist for Bank of America, said in a note today that, rather than seeing a long-lasting bull market, the current jump represents a “big rally before big collapse.” He went on to explain the recession and a credit crunch following the Silicon Valley Bank collapse has kept stocks high, but he doesn’t believe it will last.
2. The stock market is overbought and due for a correction, says well-known market strategist. “If you subtract 7 stocks out of the S&P 500 (^GSPC), the Apples (^AAPL) of the world, Google (^GOOG), Microsoft (^MSFT), Amazon (^AMZN), etc, the S&P 500 is still only up about 4% year to date.” He believes investors are now chasing the stocks which hadn’t run away like the mega cap names, in hopes they will play catch-up. He says disappointing factory orders, weak industrial production, slower-than-expected retails sales, and stricter lending standards from banks all point to a weaker economic environment. He finished up with this warning, “It’s this dream that everything is going to work out — I just don’t see it happening.”
3. A long-time market bear who called the 2000 and 2008 crashes warns the S&P 500 could plummet 64%, bursting a historic bubble. The famously bearish investor said extreme equity valuations and “unfavorable market internals” will trigger the slide. Such a slump will lead to the collapse of “the most extreme yield-seeking speculative bubble in U.S. history,” he said. Stretched equity valuations suggest that the S&P 500 index would be required to plunge of as much as 64% for the market to return to more balanced conditions, according to the asset-bubble expert who successfully predicted the stock routs of 2000 and 2008.
4. Markets should brace for a deep US recession that warrants a dramatic one percentage-point interest-rate cut by the Federal Reserve, warned DoubleLine Capital. He based the warning on weakening economic data that makes a recession probable next year. “A multitude of economic indicators we look at are flashing either warning or recessionary signals.”

Several serious signs have been reported that may clearly show the path that the US economy is heading down:

1. US personal savings have collapsed by $5.5 trillion since April 2020. The less cash available to consumers, the less they can buy, the less that goes into businesses, and the more consumers go into consumer debt.
2. Also adding pressure on the US economy is the return of student loan bills, which could cut both consumer savings and spending levels. A new report by Oxford Economics forecasts US consumer spending could fall by more than $100 billion a year due to student loan payments kicking in, increasing the odds of an economic downturn.
3. Almost all reputable economic sources are referring to inflation as the sleeping giant that is awake and will roar for decades to come. One source stated it this way, “We’re moving from a world that was previously dominated by the abundance of resources to one that’s dominated by scarcity. The economic world could look quite different over the next five to 10 years. Using past performance as a guide to the future is something we always warn against, but it’s especially true now.” Another put a hard number to it, “Even if you toss out food and energy prices — which are notoriously volatile and have driven much of the price surge — so-called core inflation soared 5.9% over the last year.”
4. Affecting income, “The Labor Department says that after accounting for higher consumer prices, hourly earnings for private-sector employees fell 3.6% last month from a year earlier, the 15th straight drop.“

Get your financial house in order…please.

FedNow is now active and available!

The Federal Reserve, at the direction of the US federal government, has now created a quasi digital currency that is 100% controlled by the Federal Reserve. It is called FedNow. It is completely computerized (i.e. digitized) money…and completely controlled by the Federal Reserve at every point imaginable.

FedNow is currently voluntary by banks and other corporations. The question is…How long does it stay ‘voluntary’?

Be very careful of this latest attempt by the government to track everything! This program is one of the first steps towards the Great Reset.

The Fed said 35 banks and credit unions are already participating. Early adopters include JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo, with other institutions. Oddly, the Fed has stated repeatedly that FedNow is not a federal digital currency nor an opening step towards one. Interestingly, in the explanation videos it uses a digital currency coin to show how the money is transferred and refers to it as a digital currency service alternative.

FWIW…almost all non-Fed and non-government experts say the new system could lay the groundwork for the infrastructure needed for a potential central bank digital currency (CBDC) in the U.S.. And so this week’s announcement has led to a fresh airing of warnings about potential privacy and control risks around a digital dollar.

Not alone, one notable expert in this field states what critics have all been suggesting, “…the launch of Fednow to be a move toward an eventual central bank digital currency and a cashless society. They argue that the government having access to every transaction opens the door to authoritarianism and abuse.”

Jason Aldean music video, “Try That In A Small Town”

So you probably heard about all of the hoopla regarding Jason Aldean’s song, “Try That In A Small Town” and the sheer stupidity surrounding it. Yeah, it is just another blatant attempt for the radical moron left (yes, the mentally insane Progressives) to silence anything and everything good about America.

Well…I ain’t having it!!

I am embedding the official Jason Aldean music video, “Try That In A Small Town”…please watch!

Why? Because for one…it shows the whacko left that they are just that…WHACKO! It also tells them we are Americans and proud of it…and our small towns. And also… Jason Aldean makes money from YouTube when people watch it.

Thank you 🙂

For those of you who haven’t heard…there is a focused campaign Jason Aldean for his song Try That In A Small Town. Aldean is being called a racist, bigot and worse. They are saying his song in inflammatory against black people, etc. Even CMT pulled the video from their channel due to the insanity of those who wish to destroy America.

I would love it if you watched the video, click his ‘like’ button (the thumbs up) and then share it with a couple of friends. Let’s do a BudLight on the left ! ! !    Then go watch the video 🙂

Bear with me please while I share this…

Two weeks ago my wife and I were riding in our UTV about 300’ from our house heading over to our neighbor’s place. Boom! There is a 22” Prairie Rattlesnake crossing the 2-track path.

Any non-venomous / non-poisonous snake is welcome on our property…potentially deadly/fatal ones, nope. And of course, I neglected to have any self-defense tools on me at the time. We proceeded to the neighbor’s place.

Upon arrival at the neighbor’s place, the snake story was the first discussion…he was hungry, he is ex-army, he grabbed a tool, we headed back to the snake spot. Three minutes and a single .45 round later we were headed back to his place, snake corpse was placed in the kitchen, original reason for visit concluded, and we headed back home.

Back to present day…

It has been very hot here and we get our basic chores done early and in the house with AC by noon. The downside is simple…a bit of cabin fever after 3 – 4 days of that routine. My wife went outside last night at dusk to just stretch her legs and look over the garden…that is doing fantastic by the way. And now you know why the wording of this post…she stumbled across a Prairie Rattlesnake in the garden, this one about 15” in length.

She came back into the house and explained the situation, I grabbed a gun, she grabbed a tactical light, off to the garden with all due haste. About 20 minutes later, almost full-dark, we were back in the house, the snake was dead, head buried, the garden a safe place once again.

Later in the evening I started thinking about it and realized there was a perfect metaphor here. Do we have snakes in our ‘garden’…deadly snakes?

Ah, but you don’t have a garden! Well, a metaphor is a likeness of one thing applied in a story about something else…so the ‘garden’ in this case is our country…the USA.

Do we have snakes in our country that are just as lethal/deadly as a rattlesnake?

To get the proper perspective I went back in history to the later half of the 1700’s, Colonial America. The colonists did all the work, settled and cleared the land, planted crops, raised families, conducted trade, built towns and villages. And at every turn the British Empire sucked taxes and fees out of the life blood of Colonial America. Should a person resist the tyranny of the British they were mercilessly and brutally crushed.

As resentment and rebellion grew the oppression likewise grew and the British Empire became more oppressive, more tyrannical, more brutal, and more vicious against its own subjects.

Finally, the brave Colonial men and women had had enough and decided to run the snakes out of the garden…but the snakes were having none of it…and began to kill the Colonists in large numbers, burning farms, imprisoning citizens, confiscating property, and using the military as a police force to lock-down the colonies. But, the colonists were determined to drive the deadly snakes out of the garden…or kill them.

On July 4, 1776, a year after hostilities had begun, the colonists made it formal…they would have no more snakes in their garden. It would be 7 years before the last of the snakes were either dead or driven out. And now their garden, our garden, was safe…the United States was officially born.

I ask again…Do we have snakes in our garden today? Are they just as stealthy? Are they just as deadly as a rattlesnake? Are they just as willing to strike us and kill us…as they were in the 1770’s & 1780’s?

So how to rid our garden of snakes in this day and age?

_{Additional Info –}

• _{Yes, the garden was overgrown with both plants and weeds. I hadn’t done much to clean it up since my surgery 2 weeks ago.}
• _{Yes, the snake was looking for shade during the day, water, and whatever little critters he could find hiding in the plants and weeds.}
• _{Yes, a Prairie Rattlesnake in both venomous and potentially lethal and their strike potentially fatal.}
• _{No, we’ve never seen a Prairie Rattlesnake in our area before the one 2-weeks ago.}
• _{And FWIW…safety comes before any crap snake-hugging, snake-loving, liberal BS that we have to be one with our environment. A deadly threat is a deadly threat…and I won’t allow deadly threats on my property.}
