First off, for clarification…his original family name is actually “Garfinkel” but was changed to Garland to avoid being linked to their Jewish religious heritage.
During his Harvard college years be became a close friend and ally with Jamie Gorelick. Jamie Gorelick, radical Progressive, was appointed Deputy Attorney General by President Clinton, radical Progressive and sexual predator. Garland also clerked for Supreme Court Justice William J. Brennan, one of the most radical leftist/Progressive justices ever to sit on the Supreme Court.
In March 2016 Garland was nominated by President Barak Obama, a Marxists and radical leftist, to the Supreme Court. Republicans denied to hold hearings and Garland’s nomination expired. In January 2021 President Joe Biden, hardcore Progressive and head of the infamous Biden Crime Family, nominated him as US Attorney General. He was confirmed in March 2021.
In his opinions and rulings he favors heavy-handed government regulations, especially the EPA. Additionally, in criminal cases, he sides with the government. He supports “black sites” and refusing Constitutional protections or due process when people are held as enemy combatants. In October 2021 Garland issued a memo criminalizing parents who spoke out at school board meetings…and labeled them as potential domestic terrorists….and directing FBI agents to investigate them.
He has actively directed the DOJ to combat state laws that tried to strengthen voting integrity. In a strictly partisan and unprecedented move he specifically made sure that the DOJ denied “executive privilege” to even the closest Trump administration officials regarding the January 6th attack on the Capital.
He is married to Lynn Rosenman who comes from a long line of leftist Democrats who could clearly and unabashedly be considered wealthy Progressive elitists. Excluding his wife’s family-related wealth, Garland is a multi-millionaire. He is a rapid pro-abortionist. When you look at the educational background of his family…it is almost exclusively Harvard and Yale. Both institutions are well-known to contain “secret societies”, as well as being havens and the breeding ground of radical Progressives and other elitists who support the implementation of authoritarianism in the USA.
In July 2022 he claimed only “right-wing extremists” were responsible for politically related violence in the US. This was after the assignation attempt by a leftist on Justice Kavanagh. He has been called by journalists as; 1) “angry, bitter Napoleon” (referring to his quest for absolute power and his 5’6″ height), 2) a “political hack”, 3) a “Democrat Party hit man”.
And worst of all…there are a number of well-known responsible folks who simply refer to Garland as embarking on a tirade of revenge against all things Trump…especially Donald Trump himself. The Arizona Republic stated, “Garland was appointed to run the nation’s most powerful law enforcement agency last year, and it looks like he’s been on a progressive revenge tour ever since.” And, “Liberals have a legacy of using federal authority against their opponents.”
Summary (my personal opinion) –
Merrick Brian Garland comes from a long line of radical Progressives, was educated at a Progressive elitist institution, and married into a radical liberal elitist family. Throughout his career he has been trained as, and proven himself to be, little more than a henchman for the Democrats while subverting anything and everything that the Founding Fathers believed in.
Sadly, Garland now has the power to unleash all of his resentment, anger, and hatred on “we the people.” This man clearly considers himself an elitist…especially a political elitist. This is a petty little man doing the bidding of his masters, incapable of seeing or doing anything of value to strengthen, let alone restore, Constitutional principles.
I have watched hours upon hours of his testimony before Congress, this man resents any attempt to be accountable or to limit his power. Worst of all…he is a dangerous and powerful man continuing the demise of the Republic and ensuring the continued establishment of authoritarianism in the United States of America.
Not only did your “Let’s talk about the FBI…again” sound a bit choppy, it sounded like you heavily edited it. Then you didn’t comment on the FBI raid on Trumps home in Mar-logo. Why? (anonymous for a reason)
I figured someone would ask me about this whole raid thing. I hadn’t wanted to write about it because you guys already understand what is going on with this situation. But hey, you asked.
First off…Well, you busted me! Yes my original “Let’s talk about the FBI…again” was heavily changed after I had 3 people read it prior to publishing. And they all thought it would put a HUGE target on my back…one said my life would be in danger because of it. My wife said she would support me no matter what I did. I chose not to put others in danger but still get my point across with what I wrote. Yes, I think the FBI is that dangerous and ruthless.
As to “the FBI raid on Trumps home in Mar-logo”…let me ask you this, Are you surprised?
The FBI has been the hitmen for the radicals that are implementing authoritarianism in the USA for a very long time. At first the FBI kept it relatively concealed, in the last 30 years they have been in our faces (US citizens’) daring anyone to work against them, resist them, speak out against them, or try to reform them. Remember it was the FBI who was the lead federal agency in the attempted coup against President Trump to begin with. And they had plenty of help from the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the CIA.
And interestingly enough…the FBI is not authorized to even exist according to the Constitution.
Also, remember it was Merrick Garland (current Attorney General heading the DOJ) that Obama nominated for the Supreme Court…and the Republicans kept him out. So he has a huge personal grudge that he is using the DOJ to settle. And let us not forget…this is the same AG that didn’t do a thing to protect Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh after the assassination attempt by a liberal/progressive back in June of this year. His agenda is clear.
And yes, the raid on Trump’s home is the first in the history of the US…that should tell you a lot. And interestingly enough, Trump had been cooperating for months with the investigation turning over whatever was asked for as I understand it. Yet, they still carried out the raid.
It is ironic to hear all the support for this action…and it is exactly this kind of action that turns us further into a Banana Republic…an authoritarian state. So is this the new norm…raid all ex-president’s homes? If so, Clintons and Obamas may go to prison yet.
Here is what I find very telling…notice all the local law enforcement supporting the FBI in the raid?
So next time you hear someone talk about how loyal law enforcement is to the Constitution…think about this raid.
So, why the raid? Really, really simple:
Those that want to impose authoritarianism hate Trump with a passion few of us can even begin to understand.
In their minds they must keep him from running in 2024 and damage any other potential Republican candidate.
This furthers the image of the FBI’s untouchable power. You can’t resist them, you can’t fight them, you can’t speak ill of them, and they can get anyone anytime.
Further divide people in this country creating hate and chaos.
If Trump is guilty of something…bring him to justice. And for equality and justice…do the same to all former presidents…investigate and raid…then justice can be served. But do you think for a micro-second there is justice anymore…especially with the DOJ and FBI?
Bottom line…this was all about power and messaging that to everyone.
Well, this should be an easy one. I mean the FBI makes the case against themselves in the most extraordinary way.
So Monday a leaked FBI document was made public. It is called the “Federal Bureau of Investigation – Domestic Terrorism Symbols Guide: Militia Violent Extremism”. I have included a copy of it below, download it if you wish, or simply view it to confirm what I am telling you.
The FBI document starts off with stating that certain symbols are examples of “Anti-Government or Anti-Authority, specifically Militia Violent Extremists (MVE).” Notice the exact wording of “Violent Extremists”…that wording is vitally important to understanding the true nature of the FBI document.
The document goes on to demonize the use of Revolutionary War symbols and quotes from American history, linking its usage to violent extremists. Again, notice the exact wording of “violent extremists”…that wording is vitally important to understanding the true nature of the FBI document.
I won’t get into all the details, you can read the document for yourself, but essentially any person/group who uses historical symbols or imagery (i.e. flags) is now to be considered a violent domestic extremist/terrorist.
But it gets worse…
Common phrases and quotes of our Founding Fathers and other Constitutionalists are now considered the same…indicators of violent extremists.
And then is gets even worse…
The FBI says that if you negatively reference Ruby Ridge or Waco or Levoy Finicum you are now considered…yes, you got it…a violent extremist.
And then the worst of all…
The FBI states, in writing, that if you talk about or even believe in the facts and hard evidence of the FBI’s horrific misdeeds (i.e. illegal and unconstitutional activities) that too labels you as a…violent extremist.
Let’s get to the important aspect of this…”why?”
So why did the FBI create this document? Well, when a person is labeled/identified as a domestic terrorist (i.e. MVE, violent extremist) they basically lose all of their constitutional rights…according to US federal law. That person so designated is subject to a wide range of treatment that any decent person, any patriotic American, would find both abhorrent and horrific, let along unconstitutional.
So there you have it…this is the FBI’s next step in going after any person that questions the power of the US government or the FBI. Now, they have 100% justification for any action, including lethal action, against any person they can so designate…which is very, very broad by definition.
But there is a far more subtle and insidious answer to the “why?” question. Do you remember earlier this year when the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the creation of the Disinformation Governance Board? Well, that is an outright and blatant attack on the 1st Amendment’s freedom of speech…pretty obvious in its a factual violation of the Constitution. But the US federal government continues its attack on constitutional rights, freedoms, and liberties…especially freedom of speech.
There is a lot more that could be said…and you know what I am talking about. Can you see what is actually happening and where this is truly headed?
Pray for all of us, pray for the Constitution, pray for divine intervention, pray that hearts will be softened, pray like you have never prayed before. And prepare.
And I think it would be beneficial for us to pray for any FBI agent/personnel who may be true Christians…pray for them. Pray their hearts will be softened…pray that they can see the truth of what is happening.
note: While this basic article has been posted in previous years, I am posting it again this year because it applies…maybe even more so.
2022 note: If you have been visiting my website for the past years you know that I post pretty much the same article each year, last year was no different…”4th of July – Independence Day 2021”. And each year I do a little editing to make it an easier read, correct spelling, add a little here and there. And I usually add a note specific to that year. And this year will be pretty much the same…with a very major exception!
As you know I have been writing many articles on the condition of the USA over the last year, including the article where I make it clear that the US federal government has declared war on the US citizens. And, here and there I have pointed out that we are headed to, if not already in, either American Revolution II or Civil War II. And I am sure you have read the various reports of other folks in the web or in the media saying war in America, between Americans, is coming. Well, today…I am going to show you that it is in the planning stages…if not already operational…at the highest levels…by who knows which rival political faction(s).
On June 30th Larry Kudlow interviewed former United States Attorney General (AG) William Barr. I have included the entire interview video at the bottom of the page. At about the 7 minute mark the following exchange takes place…
Kudlow is talking about the Supreme Court leading us back to the Constitution. Barr is responding it is only possible because Trump kept his promise to put Judges on the Court that respect the Constitution.
Kudlow: I mean it’s a great step away from absolutist government. I’m into this 18th century stuff. I mean I’m reading the Declaration of Independence. I see parallels is all I’m saying.
Barr:Right.
Kudlow:Biden may not exactly be King George III. I think George was a little better looking than Biden. We do it through the ballot box, that was a joke. We don’t have to fight a revolution. But on the other hand if the consent of the governed is lost as it appears to be right now then we have to have a revolt, what the founders called a “separation.”
Barr:Right
Kudlow:Are you for separation? I love that word.
Barr: I’m for asserting the power of the people. Take the people who usurped that power and brush them aside.
Kudlow:I think we’ll go dark in a minute.
Think about what just got talked about, review the words again if necessary.
Now, before I go on about that exchange let me share a bit about the two individuals involved:
#1 – Larry Kudlow – Early on in his career Larry Kudlow worked for the New York Federal Reserve, then Paine Webber and Bear Stearns. Also, early in his life he volunteered and worked for left-wing politicians and causes, as well as being a member of Americans for Democratic Action. Then he joined the Ronald Reagan administration in the Office of Management and Budget. Later working for the National Review and hosting several shows on CNBC. His latest stint in politics was working for President Donald Trump.
#2 – William Barr – Early in his career Barr went to work for the Ronald Reagan administration dealing with legal policies as a White House advisor. In the 1970’s Barr was employed by the Central Intelligence Agency. Barr served as United States Attorney General for President George H. W. Bush (former CIA operative) and President Donald Trump. He also worked 14 years worked as an attorney for GTE/Verizon between AG stints…becoming a multi-millionaire. Under Barr’s advice, President George H. W. Bush in 1992 pardoned six officials involved in the highly illegal Iran–Contra affair…a CIA operation dealing in both drugs and illegal arms…as well as terrorism, murders, sovereign nation overthrowing, etc. In 1992, Barr launched a surveillance program to gather records of regular non-criminal Americans’ phone calls…the fore-runner of the CIA/NSA/FBI massive unconstitutional surveillance programs of post-9/11. From 2009 – 2019 he donated close to $150,000 to the Republican party to elect Republican senators. In 2016 donated $55,000 to the Jeb Bush presidential campaign. Barr is considered a rabid “law & order” extremist (i.e. authoritarian/totalitarian).
Now, back to the exchange…
First off, “absolutist government” is eerily similar to an “authoritarian government “ with the absolutist usually being headed by a monarch or other “divine right” figure. And the British rule of colonial America would be the perfect example of “absolutist government” rule.
Then Kudlow brings up the Declaration of Independence and the right outlined therein “…it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…” referring specifically to the wording for people to “separate” themselves from the existing government. And he also states there are parallels between the pre-American Revolution tyranny and oppression vs as there is today with the US federal government. And Barr agrees.
Then it gets interesting…Kudlow then says that the right to vote no longer is anything but a “joke” AND it is time for a “revolt” Barr agrees.
When Kudlow specifically asks former AG Barr about a revolt/separation Barr responds, “I’m for asserting the power of the people. Take the people who usurped that power brush them aside.”
Read that again…and maybe even a third time.
So you have a pretty well connected media host, who is also a very well connected former political operative, state openly about a revolt is needed in this country. AND THEN…you have a former CIA operative and long-time very well connected former United States Attorney General to two different Presidents state that yes, it is not only time for a revolt/separation but physically get rid of anyone who have usurped the power away from the citizens of the United States.
These were not off-the-cuff, spontaneous, and casual remarks by a couple of good-ole-boys at the corner coffee shop.
And if those two men were talking about it openly on a major media outlet…think of all the other players who have talked about it behind closed doors. And…what their plans might be…and what is currently being carried out. Think that through…then current events seem a little more clear…and the future a little more ominous.
On with the rest of the Independence Day article…
2021 note: I would like you to seriously consider where your principles stand; your commitment to the morals. ethics, and concepts as outlined by the Declaration of Independence. In 2020/2021 we’ve seen two tragic things; 1) a huge overstep of all levels of government to control the citizens of this great country, 2) a monumental compliance of sheeple that should shake you to your very core. As we celebrate this holiday please take time to consider just how committed you are to the; 1) Republic (USA), 2) true freedom and the responsibility that goes with it, 3) the Declaration of Independence, 4) your willingness to act. Think about this…All the food and water storage in the world won’t mean a thing without a core set of principles that guide you and your family.
Independence Day (a.k.a. 4th of July) historically July 4th is the day for celebrating declaring independence from Great Britain. However, on July 2, 1776 the American Revolution leadership declared the legal separation of the Thirteen Colonies from Great Britain after the American Congress had voted to do so. And the 4th is when they actually signed the document…the Declaration of Independence. So the 4th of July is actually more about the Declaration of Independence becoming our first American historical document. For me…I would love to celebrate both the 2nd – the 4th of July !!
And it is good to remember, open warfare had broken out a year earlier between the tyrannical and oppressive British government’s army and American freedom fighters.
So if this holiday, the 4th of July – Independence Day, is all about declaring independence and the signing of the Declaration of Independence. What is the Declaration of Independence all about?
Well, just take the first 18 words of the actual document –
“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands…”
The Declaration of Independence was all about dissolving the tyrannical government that had been imposed upon Americans by the British ruling class. In other words, the Americans were fed-up with the governmental tyranny and oppression they were living under and were finally doing something serious about it. The Declaration of Independence was an explanation of what the Americans were doing and why.
But you also have to understand by what “authority” they felt they had to take such drastic actions –
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…”
And they stated unequivocally what the problem was with the British government –
“…the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States…”
If you are reading this post you are more than likely not a first time visitor to this website. And that being the case, you know I am not some blogger that wants to be all warm and fuzzy. I don’t believe in sugar-coating currents events and I damn darn sure don’t want to give false hope and impressions of what is going on or where we as a country are headed. I always want to give you the straight talk and the straight, honest answers. But remember, these are only my opinions. Seek out, research, and come to your own conclusions of what is happening in our country today (well, over the last 130 years actually) and why.
In this day an age of misinformation and “deepfake” I want you to trust no one but yourself, and hopefully your spouse. I am confident you can figure out this situation, I just want to share some thoughts that I think are important to where we are as a country and people right now.
The Declaration of Independence listed approximately 26 grievances against the government of Britain. Among those I found these specific items to be especially interesting:
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses.
Let me make a note of those just for conversation’s sake:
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. Judges now “make” law, are appointed by the President, serve for life, are paid by the government (who sets their pay scale), and the Supreme Court is untouchable even when ruling against the Constitution. Even the most minor federal judge in the middle of nowhere can stop the President (the entire Executive Branch) or Congress (the entire Legislative Branch) from performing their Constitutional duties. Does that sound even remotely right?
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.The layers of government bureaucracy, local level to the federal level, now number in the 10’s of millions of employees. All serving in a system wherein they can arbitrarily create policy and regulation that carry the force of law. And those laws can ruin people’s lives, destroy businesses, and devastate entire communities.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. Not only do we have a huge standing Army, we have a huge standing Air Force, Navy, Marine Corp, and National Guard. We now have a situation that dwarfs what the Declaration of Independence complained about. And it costs us 100’s of billions of dollars every year. Money that we have to borrow…driving the country into bankruptcy. We fight numerous, endless, and immensely destructive wars…feeding the military-industrial complex.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.Our military now has unlimited powers, via the NDAA, even within the borders of the US. Posse Comitatis is no longer recognized by the federal government or the military. The military is free to arrest, detain, ship to another country, or kill any US citizen within the borders of the USA by the simple order of the President, and in some cases, by local military commanders. And God-forbid you ever fall under the designation of “potential domestic terrorist”…then you have no rights, no protection, no Constitution…you are at the mercy of government officials.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:Our government has now subjugated US law to UN law, agreements, and in some cases even Sharia Law. That is in direct opposition to US Constitutional law. In some legal jurisdictions now, Sharia Law (Islamic religious law) is now recognized as superior to US law.
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:One only needs to look at the nearly 1.5million law enforcers stationed throughout every community, at every possible level of government, to understand this problem. There is little resemblance of yesterday’s peace officers to today’s fully militarized law enforcement officers who operate at the whim and will of federal guidance and political direction.
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:The political class, the ruling class, is virtually immune to arrest and prosecution for the crimes they commit. We see one politician after another commit serious crimes with absolute impunity. Such is the benefit of the political ruling class. We have a two-tier judicial system…the ruling class…and everyone else.
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: This goes without saying. But it is even worse than you might think at first pass. Not only does the government, at all levels, impose taxes, fees, and financial penalties on its citizens at will and without authority or permission…it also eliminates the payment of income taxes by those they wish to exempt. It has gotten so bad that over half of the country’s citizens pay no income taxes while the minority of the population support the entire country’s finances…including the immense welfare system that the majority of non-taxpayers benefit from.
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the previous Patriot Act, and the present Freedom Act…as well as a host of non-laws (Presidential Directives) have eliminated the effect of the Sixth Amendment found in the Constitution’s Bill of Rights. The government can, at its own discretion, deprive citizens of rights, property, money, and freedoms through the imposition of “policy” enforced by police. And they do so to the tune of 10’s of billions of dollars each year with impunity. There is little to no defense against such arbitrary civil forfeiture acts of government in today’s system. The Civil Asset Forfeiture laws allow private property, including cash/money owned by US citizens to be seized without due process, without even any criminal charges being filed. Law enforcement simply takes the property from citizens. This is done to the tune of tens of millions of dollars each year.
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses.The policy currently in use and in force by the US government is called “rendition.” The current policy of rendition is the government sponsored kidnapping and extrajudicial transfer of a person from one country to another to avoid the US legal system. And in so doing allows the torture and indefinite detention or execution of prisoners that the US federal government wishes to impose itself upon.
So, I guess some things haven’t changed much since the days of British government tyranny and oppression.
Well, that isn’t exactly true:
We are taxed by US federal government far more heavily now than by the British government prior to the American Revolution.
We are regulated by government far more so now than prior to the American Revolution.
The federal, state, and local levels of government are far more controlling over the population than prior to the American Revolution.
As percentage of population, we have far more government officials, bureaucrats, and regulators than prior to the American Revolution.
As a percentage of population, we have far more law enforcement officers now than prior to the American Revolution.
We have far more laws, regulations, rules, policies, and codes now than prior to the American Revolution.
As a percentage of population, we have far more politicians now than prior to the American Revolution.
As a percentage of population, we have far more people in jails and prisons now than prior to the American Revolution.
Pretty much according to every negative aspect of life prior to the American Revolution, we have it ten-fold worse here in our lives…in our current day good ol’ USA. Right here, right now…in our day and age it is worse than under the tyrannical British rule!
So what does that mean? To answer that question let’s look at who signed the Declaration of Independence:
Adams, John
Adams, Samuel
Bartlett, Josiah Braxton, Carter
Chase, Samuel
Clark, Abraham
Clymer, George
Ellery, William
Floyd, William
Franklin, Benjamin
Gerry, Elbridge
Gwinnett, Button
Hall, Lyman
Hancock, John
Harrison, Benjamin
Hart, John
Hewes, Joseph
Heyward Jr., Thomas
Hooper, William
Hopkins, Stephen
Hopkinson, Francis
Huntington, Samuel
Jefferson, Thomas
Lee, Francis Lightfoot
Lee, Richard Henry
Lewis, Francis
Livingston, Philip
Lynch Jr., Thomas
McKean, Thomas
Middleton, Arthur
Morris, Lewis
Morris, Robert
Morton, John
Nelson Jr., Thomas
Paca, William
Paine, Robert Treat
Penn, John
Read, George
Rodney, Caesar
Ross, George
Rush, Benjamin
Rutledge, Edward
Sherman, Roger
Smith, James
Stockton, Richard
Stone, Thomas
Taylor, George
Thornton, Matthew
Walton, George
Whipple, William
Williams, William
Wilson, James
Witherspoon, John
Wolcott, Oliver
Wythe, George
Collectively how do we refer to these men today?
We call them, or at least use to call them, freedom fighters, patriots, honorable men, and Founding Fathers. We revere them, we honor them, we appreciate and marvel at their great sacrifices that they made in founding our country. They provided a rich heritage of freedom, rights and liberty for a new country.
But what if all of that freedom fighting, resisting, and generally all of that Declaration of Independence stuff was occurring in today’s world?
What if a group of well-known and honorable men got together, outlined a long list of unjust tyrannical actions of today’s US federal government against US citizens?
And then these pillars of society declared that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish that government, and to institute a new government…even it meant with force and violence. What would happen to these individuals?
Well, let’s look at what DHS and the FBI has to say about it.
You are considered a potential domestic terrorist if you are any of the following:
• Americans who believe their “way of life” is under attack;
• Americans who are “fiercely nationalistic (as opposed to universal and international in orientation)”;
• People who consider themselves “anti-global” (presumably those who are wary of the loss of American sovereignty);
• Americans who are “suspicious of centralized federal authority”;
• Americans who are “reverent of individual liberty”;
• People who “believe in conspiracy theories that involve grave threat to national sovereignty and/or personal liberty;”
• Anti-abortion advocates (a.k.a. Pro-Life).
• Bulk purchasers of food.
• People who pay with cash.
• People who want internet privacy.
• People who display “liberty” or “freedom” oriented bumper stickers.
• People who display the American flag.
• Men and women who are veterans of the military.
So there is little doubt if the Declaration of Independence was written and signed today, all of those original Founding Fathers, all those patriots, the freedom fighters, and honorable men, would be swept up in massive FBI raids, using no-knock warrants with fully-militarized SWAT forces. Many shot and killed in sanctioned killings such as Levoy Finicum in 2016.
Whoa!
Now, what does that tell you about the condition of our country today?
What does that say of our freedoms, rights and liberties?
What does it say of our massive system of government, especially at the federal level?
What does it all have to do with an “emergency preparedness” website?
Let me make it real clear for you…the major threat to America today is the loss of those rights, freedoms, and liberties…the implementation of a police state. No, not the threat of a police state…the growing police state that we live under right now. And that very same police state that grows ever stronger each and every day.
At some point an event will occur, and the country will be thrown into confusion and chaos the likes of which you have never ever seen before in history. January 6th 2021 was a close call and an example. The pro-abortion infanticide advocates are trying hard now to throw our country into the abyss.
And when that catastrophic confusion and chaos event(s) happens the grid will come smashing down and it will come down completely. When that happens I want you and your family to be prepared. Better yet I want you to have a group of like-minded preparedness folks organized and supportive of each other. And best of all…if you could have a whole congregation or community ready for emergencies and disasters…that would be my dream!
Folks it is coming, I assure you of that. Our country, our government can’t survive much longer imposing tyranny on its citizens as our US federal government currently is…history has proven that elsewhere over and over again. Please prepare yourself and your family for the emergencies and disasters that are coming…and the coming grid-down event.
In the mean time, because your are prepared, you will be ready for wildfires, recessions, hurricanes, earthquakes, unemployment, retirement, epidemics/pandemics, and most other natural and man-made disasters as well. And because you are prepared you shall not fear.
Just please understand what we are dealing with right now…and what is coming in the near future. Please prepare yourself and your family. And while you’re at it…enjoy your 4th of July, Independence Day, by remembering what this day represents, who was there originally, why they were there, and what principles they believed in.
Please prepare!
Be a modern day patriot…be a Founding Father!
To know how committed we should be we simply view how committed our Founding Fathers were, “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm Reliance on the Protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.”
Please consider those words, their commitment to divine principles of freedom, and their willingness to give all…even their very lives for the cause of freedom and liberty…and a break from the tyranny and oppression of an unjust government.
When I post an article in the evenings it doesn’t get a lot of views. When I post an article on the weekends it gets even fewer views. So naturally I try to post during week days, preferably Monday – Thursday, in the mornings. However, the Roe decision on Friday made a situation where I simply had to post the “warning” and the follow-up the next day. I hope you read both, but the numbers show that many folks didn’t get to them as they normally would.
So, if you haven’t already, please take the time to read those two articles:
Yesterday I spent a fair amount of time reviewing reports of all the violence that broke out in relation to the SCOTUS decision on Roe and Casey. Saturday and Sunday were sad days for America.
What I saw were peaceful gatherings on both sides sharing their thoughts and feelings…those were fine, legal, and within the American spirit. But then there were the ugly gatherings…the ones where either/both sides were taunting the other. What is the purpose in that? What does it accomplish other to antagonize and inflame?
Then there was the violence…uncalled for in any civil society…and it was on both sides. From my observations it was about a 90/10 split with the 90% of the violence coming from the leftists. But that was expected based on their history of violence against any/all those that disagree with them. What disturbed me were these so-called “pro-life” folks who committed violence for their cause. The most egregious occurrence was a conservative pro-life male political candidate who got in a physical fight with a liberal pro-abortion female candidate…and he repeatedly punched her in the face. And to top it off…the pro-lifer was a police officer as well. Shameful!
And the expected…the radical left-wing extremist so-called Hollywood celebrities. Of course they have a right to express their feelings and opinions…that is the 1st Amendment. And they clearly showed their radical beliefs and/or their mental illnesses as well. The absolute filth and trash to come from that sector is enough to make a person physically ill. How can a person not see the degradation and mental/spiritual squalor that comes from them!? And yet we buy their movies, watch their shows, buy their brand of clothing, and listen to their music. Satan must be laughing at and enjoying this moment in history.
And then there were the horrific examples of where this country is headed…
Burning the American flag.
Calls for pro-abortionists to burn every city to the ground.
A Christian pregnancy center in Colorado vandalized and burned.
A pro-abortion protestor attacking and trying to burn to death an LAPD officer.
A pro-life fringe group calling for arms to be taken to the streets.
Far left radical group called to burn down all churches except for black churches.
Jane’s Revenge vandalized a Congressman’s office plus 3 other locations.
Far right groups had announced calls to target Black Lives Matter activists, the left-wing group AntiFa, and lesbians.
California Governor called for state residents to live in defiance of the Supreme Court.
Congressional Representative Jackie Speier (D-CA) said, “there is a war out there, and we need to recognize that we’ve got to armor up.”
The most disheartening to me were all the companies such as Dick’s Sporting Goods, Disney, etc., immediately after the Roe decision, announcing they will pay employees to have abortions. That is sickness of the soul to an unspeakable degree. And I hope folks know that supporting those companies helps pay to kill babies.
I could go on and on but you have probably already read the new reports, watched the videos, or seen the info on social media so there is no need for me to rehash it all. Just know that it is happening, it will get more and more violent, and the country will go to war with itself.
Now…hear this…my message to you…please hear it loud and clear…DON’T!!
Don’t get sucked into the taunting, the protesting, the demonstrations, the confrontations, the riots…none of it! Don’t get sucked into the cycle of violence. There is no need for it whatsoever!
If you are pro-life there is no need to gloat, taunt, or parade this victory. Act with quiet dignity. In your family, with your friends, and in your congregations offer heartfelt prayers of gratitude for this momentous time to your father in heaven. Plead and beg for peace and civility that we may not tear asunder every last bit of humanity that might exist in this country.
Now, I also want to encourage you to be 100% ready to defend yourself, your family, your congregation, and your community from acts of violence. But hear me…”self-defense” only!!
Do not go on the offensive, strike the first blow, or go looking for trouble against those that threaten you or those around you…they are only threats. Do not succumb to the temptation of violence against others based on words alone. If they strike, then defend. Until then be prepared, be calm, be respectful, be thoughtful, be thankful, and be humble. Otherwise…you are no better than those that seek you harm.
This is a follow-up article to Immediate Action Warning! covering potential for extreme violence based on the overturn of Roe and Casey.
So let’s get the obvious out of the way…and it will be a disclosure as well. I am thrilled that Roe & Casey cases got overturned. It overturned the Supreme Court’s position that a woman has a stated Constitutional right to abortion. For me abortion as it was/is in the United States akin to infanticide.
Now, on to the reality of the situation…what this all means and how it will potentially impact all of us.
What the decision means –
First off overturning Roe didn’t/doesn’t ban abortion, actually it is not about abortion at all, it is about a individual’s Constitutional right and states’ rights.
Point #1 – Nowhere in the Constitution is there any wording that states that a woman has a right to an abortion. And I mean nowhere, in any way, in any possible twisting of language does it make that statement. So plainly, clearly, unequivocally, unambiguously there is no right guaranteed for a woman to have an abortion.
Point #2 – Since there is no federal guarantee for a woman’s right to have an abortion it falls to the states to act as they see fit. That is in the Constitutional principle under the 10th Amendment…
Bottom line…the overturning of Roe simply was overturning bad law. And even Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the most extreme leftist to sit on the Supreme Court in modern history, spoke publicly in 1992 that Roe was bad law and would probably be overturned. And so it was…the law was set right, actual Constitutional rights reiterated/restored, and states’ rights restored.
When you hear folks say that this bans abortion…it does not. When you hear folks say it restores a right to life…it does not. It only returns those issues to the state level for a decision by those states on how they, that particular state, will deal with the question of abortion.
The potential impact on us –
You have to remember I am pretty organized, some would say obsessive, in the way I view things. Yeah, okay…so be it.
In this case I see three ways to classify the potential “impact” on us; short-term, medium-term, and long-term phases.
Short-Term (1 – 3 months):
The short-term has already started. There have been, and will be, peaceful rallies on both sides of the issue. There has been, and will be, demonstrations and protests by the pro-abortion supporters. These will in the short-term grow more numerous and more violent. These will last well into the medium and long term phases as well, although growing less numerous as we move into the long-term phase. But, in the short-term I believe there is a strong potential for the more radical leftists to commit significant acts of violence, just not in large numbers.
Last night, within 12 hours of the Roe announcement, Phoenix police had to use tear gas and flashbang grenades to disperse violent protestors attempting to take over the state capital building. Many protestors were carrying death threat signs against the Supreme Court Justices.
There will be political posturing and rabid calls for action by leftist politicians. Some of the more radical pro-abortion organizations will call for and/or plan for acts of violence relatively soon, but I expect the most serious ones to appear more towards then end of the short-term.
The short-term will be used primarily for planning and setting the stage publicly, politically, and coordinating with the leftist media…especially the on-line social communities.
Medium-Term (4 – 12 months):
This phase has a tremendous potential for numerous acts of violence, some of it extreme. It will be almost all originating from the leftist pro-abortion supporters/terrorists (i.e. Jane’s Revenge, Planned Parenthood, etc.). However, I do expect to see some pro-life radical elements respond and there is a high likelihood for those folks to commit violence as well.
The violence will include; vandalism, physical assaults, arson (including fire bombings), murders, and more assignation attempts on public figures. I also see a high potential for mass shootings at rallies/demonstrations, and non-shooting mass murder attempts such as ramming groups with vehicles.
As the election nears I see an almost certainty of extreme violence on the part of the left. They have a long and sordid history of political violence and it will be manifested as their extremism is placed under pressure internally and externally.
On election day, in areas where abortion bans are already in-place, or about to be voted in, I expect voting locations to be especially targeted for demonstrations and violence.
Long-Term (1 year +):
This is going to be the most devastating phase for America. We, as a country, are already irreconcilably divided. There is no foreseeable solution to reunite America…especially as a Constitutional Republic. The abortion issue in America will significantly deepen the divide we already suffer from. And that deepening may be the final straw that will lead to Civil War II or American Revolution II.
Here’s why…there are two completely different “camps” of states when it comes to abortion; pro-abortion and pro-life. The pro-life states have already passed, or soon will pass, laws regulating abortion (including bans in some cases). But the other side, the pro-abortion, side will go so extreme that calling them “death factories” would be an understatement.
The radical leftist states (i.e. California, Oregon, Washington, New Mexico, Colorado, New York, Illinois, and all the little northeast states) will enact extreme laws to promote abortion. They will use taxpayer money to ensure that abortion clinics can kill as many unborn babies as possible. And many will codify post-birth abortion. They will aid women from all over the country to come to their states to have abortions. Movie and TV stars, politicians, the media, and abortion advocates will celebrate their efforts and accomplishments in the number of babies they are killing. The radical leftist states will become the 21st century moral equivalent of Auschwitz, Buchenwald, and Dachaus.
[side note: Interesting that it was Margaret Sanger who developed the concept of abortion and “planned parenthood“…it was called “eugenics.” Sanger, who was a avowed socialist, had the support of Democrats and unions as well as their funding her cause. Her organization taught eugenics to Hitler’s Nazi’s in Germany in the 1930’s. The KKK founded by southern Democrats were taught eugenics by Sanger and supported both Nazi efforts and Sanger’s organization. Sanger is worshiped by today’s Democrats/liberals/Progressives as a virtual goddess. To learn exactly how Sanger, Nazis, KKK, Planned Parenthood, and Democrats all fit together click here.]
The end result will be two completely different and deeply divided America’s…pro-life and pro-abortion exacerbating the existing political divide. And it will be a very, very deep divide that will not only be irreconcilable, it will grow steadily worse and deeper. And that worsening will end up in only one place…war. Yes, war!
The two sides will be pitted against each other and emotions inflamed to the point there will be no other workable solution. And that too will be by design.
So there is victory in the overturning of Roe and Casey…but it will also not end well for the USA. Then again, regardless of Roe and Casey, it still wasn’t/isn’t going to end well for the USA. This landmark decision will just more clearly delineate the opposing sides. However, neither will win actually.
The key question to this phase is the timing…how soon will all of this happen. I see the radical leftist states finalizing the development of their sanctuary killing grounds within 12 – 18 months to enable the infanticide to be commonplace, regular, abundant, and lauded. I could see significant reprisals (i.e. Bubba Effect) within 3 – 6 months after that. Within 12 – 18 months after that I could see open and regular violent conflicts between the different sides at state lines and at the death factories. At about the 2 year mark I could see the beginnings of open warfare on both sides. Not conventional warfare with armies and such, but at the organized radical group level…organized guerilla warfare…American against American.
I am not 100% certain that I have the time-frames right. They could be off in start/end times. They could also overlap to some degree such as one or more months. And a lot depends on the election and how much the left stirs up the hate and violence against pro-life folks…or their insatiable desire to burn the whole system to the ground.
As for my Christian thoughts on abortion –
Let me state again; 1) I am grateful for the overturning of Roe and Casey, 2) I am thankful beyond belief that it will slow down the infanticide in the US, 3) it strips power that the US government took unto itself with no Constitutional basis, 4) it restores states’ rights, 5) it gives people more power over their lives by being able to control their state governments’ actions through the ballot box…and their feet.
I have thought long and hard for decades about abortion and what my personal beliefs should be…and now are. And I hopefully have based that belief on correct eternal and legal principles. I see a person’s belief on abortion falling into two general categories; 1) faith based “Christian-Judaeo”, 2) non-believer.
If you are a non-believer then it is a matter of when you think a baby is a person. It can range from inception/fertilization to the baby’s presence outside of the mother. Former president Obama held some of the most radical abortion beliefs…supporting post-birth abortion. Meaning…a baby who was born, and is outside of the mother’s body, can be left to die by denying it any medical attention, feeding, liquids, oxygen, etc. Most rational people would call that murder…but not in the minds of leftists. Obama’s belief based on his own words…throw it in the corner and let it die.
If you are to believe science and medical doctors the baby has its own heartbeat, can feel pain, and moves on its own at a very early age. But, that also doesn’t seem to matter to the pro-abortion crowd…cut those babies to pieces and pull the dead baby parts out of the mother. And in the case of Planned Parenthood…sell those dead baby parts for money.
As for me…a believer. I believe in the 10 Commandments,the book of Exodus in the Jewish Torah and the Christian Old Testament. Within that scripture it states, “Thou shalt not kill.” The Hebrew version roughly translates to, “You shall not murder.” And that essentially means that unlawful killing resulting in bloodguilt is against God’s will and desire for us. And FYI…”bloodguilt” is wrongly causing a death.
God has also given us the right to defend ourselves and our families, including to the point of taking a life. Taking a life during war can, at times, also be justified due to the self-defense principle. There is debate that when the “law” allows for the death penalty that too is also allowable to take a person’s life within that law…if that law is just.
Generally speaking Christian doctrine is such that you should not shed innocent blood…pretty plain and simple. And I believe that to be true and I abide in it.
Jeremiah 1:5 says…
“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”
That is pretty plain as well…we existed before this life and the Lord knew us. And He knew us when we were in the womb and treated us as one of His. So, to me…life begins in the womb period. So I tie it all together…killing a baby in the womb is shedding innocent blood and is forbidden by God.
And you read in Mathew 19 about how much the Lord loves little children. Then in Mathew 25 you read about the Lord’s statement, “doing it” unto these you do it unto the Lord.
And then there is always the Golden Rule, “Do to others as you would have them do to you” found in Mathew and Luke. Pretty clear, if you believe in abortion…you believe that anyone can simply take your life as well…for any reason whatsoever at any time. Meaning, you treat unborn babies as you want others to treat you.
I hope that makes it pretty clear on what I believe and why. There is one exception that is included in my abortion stance…based on a God-given right…the right of self-defense.
The Bible speaks well to the right to defend ourselves against injury by others. Thomas Paine spoke to self-defense as a natural, God-given right all the way back in the 18th century. In my opinion when a baby in the womb that directly and indisputably jeopardizes the life of the mother, then the mother has the right to decide on an abortion based on the sound medical advice of a qualified doctor. She is exercising her right of self-defense.
All that being said…if a state passes such law(s) that allows for abortions on demand then the citizens can exercise their rights within the laws of that state. But, that doesn’t free them of the consequences of their actions. But at that point it is a moral issue not a legal issue…and God alone will sort that out…that is His job…and only His job.
A person who is pro-abortion must look at their discipleship…do they truly believe in the scriptures…the word of God…or not? Do they believe in what the Lord has said…or not? Can a person, as a self-proclaimed Christian, justify the shedding of innocent blood of an unborn baby? Or, as a pro-abortionist, does a person forward the cause of Satan?
Summary –
Roe and Casey was overturned based on it being recognized as bad law.
The overturning of Roe and Casey doesn’t ban abortion.
States’ rights were restored.
The citizens of each state are now free to decide the abortion issue within their state bounds.
The US states will become divided into two camps…pro-abortion and pro-life…irreconcilably so. That is on top of an existing deep political and cultural divide.
There will be growing violence between the two philosophical camps.
The overturning of Roe and Casey will cause an irreparable divide in the US that will result in escalating extreme violence, and ultimately war.
This divisiveness crisis will be used by those in power to their advantage against both philosophical camps.
But, most importantly…the lives of some unborn babies will be spared! And that cannot be over-stated.
The impacts on all of us will come, and some of those impacts will be devastating. And it will end up as violence, extreme violence…and eventually war. Wars have been waged over far less. The world went to war against Hitler and all of Nazi Germany for their murder (eugenics) of 11million people. Imagine what will happen in the US over 70million murders in the last 50 years…and more to come by the radical leftists creating death factories in their states designed for one purpose…killing babies.
One more example of how the world is turning upside down…and becoming ever more unstable and violent. Be careful and be wise…more so than ever before.
Know who you are, know what you believe in, know who you follow…and know your own courage and convictions. And most of all…do not fear.
note: This article was supposed to appear appear yesterday. However, COVID hit our household and I just wasn’t up to finishing the editing to get this info ready in time for yesterday. This morning I was determined to wrap it up and get it out to you. Why? Because it is more important than our COVID.
Last week I was having a conversation with a long-time couple friend of mine. Of course we were talking of current events, politics, economy…you know, the usual stuff preppers talk about these days. The husband, we will call him Charlie for this conversation, was making a profound statement and he used the word “intensify” and it struck me like a bolt of lightning for some reason. The context was what the future holds for us.
For a decade I have maintained and have been sharing about the economic fall of the USA, and that position morphed into the fall of the USA in general. I have made the case that we, as a country, have been falling for 130 years and will continue to do so until it all collapses around us…whenever in the future that may be. However, I have also stated many times that we could wake up one morning and in one fell swoop it could have all collapsed overnight.
Nevertheless…we are falling, have been falling, and will continue to fall…until we hit bottom.
Or have we already hit bottom?
And what does the bottom look like?
And FYI…when I use the term “collapse” I refer to the complete transition of our country into a totalitarian state…the total implementation of authoritarianism.
Ah, that “bottom” is what I will share with you today. For now consider these tidbits…
‘The economy is going to collapse,’ says Wall Street veteran Novogratz just last week.
In 2022 alone the average mortgage payment for single-family home has risen $589…and that doesn’t include the latest Fed rate hike.
Home foreclosures are now up almost 150% over last year.
Credit card debt is at historic highs…as well as % of delinquent payments on credit card debt.
Mortgage rates went from 2.6% when Biden took office to 6.1% on 6/16…135% jump!! Yes, well more than doubled under Biden.
The Federal Reserve has raised the fed rate by 600% in 2022 (.25% – 1.75%)
The Fed Funds Rate hike represents interest on the national debt (debt service) going from $75billion to $525billion. That represents more than the entire budgets for: Department of Health and Human Services, Veterans Administration, Department of Education, Department of State, Department of House and Urban Development, and Department of Homeland Security…combined.
Massive layoffs have occurred in the first half of 2022…to the tunes of 10’s of thousands. And an accelerated pace of layoffs is predicted in the second half of 2022. A former Democratic Treasury Secretary stated day before yesterday that 10million people would have to lose their job over the next couple of years to beat the years-long recession we are about to experience.
The stock market has been beaten up to the point where it is now in bear territory.
The ridiculous crypto-currency market has all but collapsed.
Fuel prices are now entering critical mass territory…the rising fuel prices are escalating the price of everything and there is no end in sight. Biden promised to destroy the oil & gas industry back in early 2020 and he is do so.
Food shortages are common and food prices are skyrocketing.
Farmers and ranchers are facing the highest cost of doing business in history.
Farm Bureau leader stated to lawmakers, “We have reached that point to where it is very close to being a sinking ship. We are teetering on the edge right now.”
Trillions of dollars of retirement savings have been wiped out.
Rental markets have pushed approximately 18% of people out of the rental market.
Home starts dropped dramatically in May.
Consumer spending has now plummeted.
Business spending has nosedived.
Average car financing payment hit historic highs.
The vast majority of US manufactures anticipate a rapidly approaching dramatic recession…or worse. And the trime-frames quoted range from a year to as much as five years.
On June 16th President Biden threatened to use Presidential powers to stop state’s from enacting laws within their borders regarding abortion…a direct violation of the Constitution.
“Jane’s Revenge” a violent leftist pro-abortion domestic terrorist group threatened violence, murders, fire bombings, and other acts of terror against any and all pro-life groups and individuals.
The Democrats encouraged and called for illegal protests and demonstration against Supreme Court Justices in an attempt to influence their decision in an upcoming court case.
Taking encouragement from Democrat leader Chuck Schumer, a man recently attempted to assassinate a Supreme Court Justice.
No Democrat leadership has come out against the violence, protests, and demonstrations…which are illegal…at the homes of Supreme Court Justices. Biden has yet to do a single thing to increase security for Justices even after the attempted assignation attempt of Kavanagh.
Mass shootings have skyrocketed since Biden took office.
Teen suicides have skyrocketed since Biden took office.
Under Biden illegal alien border crossings have skyrocketed along with violent crimes committed by repeat offenders that are illegal aliens.
Democrat leadership has made the decision that Biden will not run in 2024 for reelection. They have a short list of potential nominees…all of which are avowed socialists and/or Marxists. And yes, all are authoritarians.
Draconian federal gun rights restrictions are about to be passed with support from both parties.
More and more radical (left & right) groups are creating or attempting to create more and more violence and division in America.
Poll: Half of Americans now predict U.S. may ‘cease to be a democracy’. Former President Bill Clinton recently said, “I have never before been as worried about the structure of our democratic form of government.”
Do I need to go on? I could add 30 – 50 more items to that list with great ease by simply scanning the headlines.
And about now you are wondering what my point is other than to state what you already know…and add to your growing depression. Well, there is a reason to this…the USA is dead…dead politically, economically, and civilly.
As a Constitutional Republic we started dying 130 years ago…it was pretty much set in stone by 1913 with the ratification of the 16th and 17th Amendments to the Constitution. The passage of the 1934 gun restrictions coupled with the elimination of state militias in the late 19th century ensured there would be an omnipotent US federal government…and the complete inability of US citizens or states to restore the republic.
OK…now what?
So by the early 20th century the USA became a democracy vs a constitutional republic. And that set into motion our “transition” as a country and as a citizenry.
OK…but what does that have to do with the here and now?
Did you ever stop and review what happens to the USA after any crisis? Have you ever taken a hard look at the post-crisis fixes?
Let me digress for just a minute…
Let’s go back to the beginning of the article when I used the term “intensify” that Charlie shared with me last week. Putting it into context is why I shared the long list of info above. Those of us over 60 can talk about how free our country was when we were kids…compared to today. If you are 90 then your childhood was even more free…compared to our childhood. And if we could get the stories from their parents, then even more freedom was enjoyed when were children, then those 90 year olds when they were children.
And if you reflect for only a minute or two…think about this…
My point is this…the US federal government’s control of our lives has grown ever more extreme as each generation, each decade has passed. And after each crisis the intensity of that control grows ever more suffocating.
Will we “recover” from the economic situation we are in now? Yes…but only in relative terms.
Will we “recover” from the horrific disaster of the Biden presidency? Yes…but only in relative terms.
Will we “recover” from the unneeded oil/gas crisis? Yes…but only in relative terms.
If we are to believe historic facts and evidence that are abundant and all around us, any “recovery” will be relatively minor, albeit circumstances will better than before the various crisis’s. But the power of the US federal government will be greater and their control over us will have grown significantly. Meaning…we will have fewer rights, freedoms, and liberties post-crisis…but we will feel as if we weathered the storm. And both the government and media will make sure we know, or at least feel, we recovered. That is what propaganda is for.
But, all the same problems will still be there…and will be intensified…and all the bad/evil stuff will intensify towards the next crisis.
Here is my larger point…as a country we have crashed politically and economically and civilly. We went off the cliff some time back…and we have already hit the bottom…we have felt the “thud”…and now comes the real pain…and it will intensify with each passing day, week, month, and year.
And once again…I will laugh in your face if you think for a second that electing any one party over another (i.e. Republicans over Democrats) will make things better! As I have written before…show me historic evidence where we are better off today, after having in the last 130 years elected a Republican Congresses and/or Republican Presidents!!
If you are objective and realistic…BOTH parties are destroying our country…there is no factual basis to show where Republicans can, or will, restore our Constitutional Republic…PERIOD!!! If they had wanted to…they would have….but didn’t.
So here we are…a fallen United States of America government. The facts, the statistics, the evidence shows this to be 100% true. We are now a democracy headed straight into a totalitarian state…there is no denying it, there is no logical argument against it, it has been happening for 130 years…one slow cut at a time.
So now what?
It’s quite liberating actually. When you think about it…there is no longer a need to struggle against the fall…we have already fallen. There no need to get wound up over politics, there is no need to get stressed out over current events. You are now free to focus on those things that are important. It is a massive off-loading of “static”, worry, fear, panic, distractions, and general BS.
Come up with what your priorities are such as getting your head together, clarifying what your core principles are, building a strong family who know Constitutional principles, work at a building a close-knit congregation with strong God-centered beliefs, work at getting local leaders elected (especially Sheriffs) that have correct principles and the backbone to fight for them, get your kids out of public schools and home-teach them, build skills that are enduring (mechanic, plumbing, electrical, gardening, shooting, reloading, etc.), build your finances to endure the coming worsening economic times, acquire/enhance your food storage, learn to garden, serve others…and the list goes on.
Some don’ts:
Do not allow yourself to get sucked into everyday “static”, and get rid of the mainstream media news crap.
Do not listen to freaks and weirdos preaching one conspiracy theory after another…they will drain your energy and distract you.
Do not worship idols…especially political idols (i.e. parties, candidates, etc.)
Do not go into debt to do your prepping, spend your money wisely where it will do the most good.
Do not get sucked into big debates (political, religious, etc.) but have thoughtful/respectful conversations about principles.
Don’t preach or moralize to others…especially about prepping to non-preppers. But, share the security that comes with being prepared for things like food shortages.
Do not get involved in any kind of violence, or plans for such.
Do not trust the government at any level…or any of their various agencies…they are not your friends…especially federal law enforcement agents.
Do not depend on the government at any level…they are not your friends.
Do not panic.
Do not fear.
None of the problems that exist today will go away…they will only intensify over time. But, there are folks out there who have their head on straight, who believe in Constitutional principles, who believe in rights/freedoms/liberties, who are preparing for what is to come, who understand the need for community and joining with like-minded folks, and know this…you are not alone. Find them…find the others.
Hang in there, accept reality as it is, don’t create your own version of reality, be smart, have a plan, work your plan…and know that as the US federal government intensifies this transition there will be opportunities to be in a place of safety. When that opportunity presents itself to you…seize it.
Let me make this easy…we live in a post-constitution era. Yes, that means I am saying that we are no longer governed by the Constitution of the United States as it was designed and written by the Founding Fathers. Its principles, protections, guarantees, and political foundation framework are all lost to the last 130 years of political maneuvering and power brokers. And for quite awhile now I have been warning about the post-constitution days we live in.
The most sure way to verify this is to simply look at the part of that great document that directly affects all US citizens’ right, liberties, and freedoms, and where we stand now in relation to its original wording and intent.
Yes, there is a specific reason for this article at this time…it ties directly into tomorrow’s article. This is a prequel if you will.
Amendment I – Dying…almost dead!
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Americans are not allowed to freely exercise their religion. In 1878 the Supreme Court killed freedom of religion (Reynolds v. United States, 98 U.S. 145) when the non-constitutional “separation of church and state” became the law of the land via black robes. And again in 1954, according to IRS documents, verbal or written statements by a 501(c)(3) in favor or opposition of any candidate can result in the denial or revocation of tax-exempt status. And yes, churches are 501(c)(3) organizations. So the government essentially controls what churches can do, when, and where they can do it…because churches are not going to want to give up their tax-exempt status.
Freedom of speech and freedom of the press died in April of 2022 at the hands of the Department of Homeland Security when it established the “Disinformation Governance Board” with no legislative action and no law being passed by our elected representatives. Freedom of speech and freedom of the press was already dying long before then due to the media’s cooperation with the US government in invoking “cancel culture” tactics.
Right of people to peacefully assemble died over 60 years ago with the widespread implementation of “permits” to parade, rally, protest, demonstrate, etc., as well as governments and law enforcement agencies employment of “free speech zones.” Both of which are widely used against any group or cause that doesn’t align with government policy.
Amendment II – Barely on life support!
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Militias have been demonized and criminalized effectively eliminating them in the United States since the late 19th century.
The right to keep and bear arms has been repeated infringed since the 1930’s to the point that the right as originally intended is no longer recognizable. The latest “bi-partisan” attempts that will soon become law further infringe upon that right. Thanks needs to go to both political parties throughout the years for killing these two rights.
Amendment IV – Dead!
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
The FBI, as well as all other federal law enforcement agencies, through the use of FISA courts have killed the “warrants” & “probable cause” clause. The NSA gathers, stores, and analyzes all electronic correspondence of US citizens without warrants. And the federal government has successfully argued in court the right to have a “kill list” of US citizens wherein people can be outright assassinated by the mere stroke of a pen at the Executive Branch level of the US government. Remember, it was a FISA court that authorized the coup against President Trump…and the FBI that provided leadership and operational personnel.
Amendment V – Dead!
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
The most blatant example is the use of “civil asset forfeiture” which has killed due process by taking private property without even a person being arrested or suspected of a crime. Additionally, since 2001, thanks to the Patriot Act (among others), American citizens have been tortured in overseas black sites as well as on American soil and the information illegally gathered has been used against them. The FBI and CIA are the two primary federal law enforcement agencies in this regards. In addition to torture, both FBI and CIA personnel have outright assassinated US citizens; and the federal government reserves the right in court to do so whenever they deem it needed…and the courts have upheld that right.
Amendment VIII – Dead!
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
Case after case after case is well documented where FBI personnel have simply murdered “suspects” even when those persons have been unarmed. And, the same agency personnel have killed family members and friends of these so-called “suspects” as they did at Ruby Ridge. A case you may very familiar with is Lavoy Finnicum. In the most glaring of infamous cases the FBI have even been known to burn to death men, women, and children as they did in Waco.
Amendment X – Dead!
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
This goes without any need to describe. Long ago the US federal government usurped the rights and powers reserved to the states and people, assuming those rights either through extortion, bribery, or at the point of a gun. The passage of the 17th Amendment diminished the check and balance of the states to virtually nothing. Couple this along with the federal government destroying half of the 2nd Amendment by outlawing militias ensured that there is no true check and balance of the states to stop the imposition of tyranny by the US federal government.
Summary –
So there are 6 out of the 10 Bill of Rights amendments that are either outright dead or virtually dead. And those 6 are the most important to US citizens out of the 10!
What does this mean? Our original rights, liberties, and freedoms as the Founders established them are gone. And there is no hope or peaceful mechanism to revive them.
Had there been any civil way to restore them…then why hasn’t it been done? Not a single Congress, not a single President, and surely not any political party has ever restored any of those rights, freedoms, or liberties. It has only gotten worse and worse with each passing election for the last 130+ years.
Why do I point this out? Well, tomorrow is the answer to that question. Today was laying out the “slap your face” reality check for what I will share with you tomorrow. Tomorrow you get a huge stress relief, an off-loading of a heavy burden…a freeing moment in your life. It will give you an opportunity to focus on the really important things.
So mid-morning on June 9th I get a frantic call from a really good friend of mine. She is telling me that I am on the radio! For clarification…a radio talk show host is reading an article of mine on his radio show. And a couple of minutes later I verified it…my material was on the radio!
Well, well, well…interesting world!! I wrote an article on June 7th “Answer: What should I do?” which was basically cut out of my May 2022 SitRep “SitRep – May 2022 (part #4 of 4)”. Seems as if someone really liked it a lot. They sent an email, with the article link, to Bryan Hyde; he is a radio guy and podcaster. Bryan liked my article enough that he was reading in whole on the air.
Bryan Hyde appears to be like-minded with me in many respects, enough so that I am listening to him pretty regularly now. Going forward I am going to embed some of his podcasts because I think you will find value there.
Man, his voice is smooth…prefect for the radio…and he made my stuff sound really good. Thank you Bryan!!
So here is hour #1
