The 2020 election was stolen. That is an irrefutable fact. The 2022 election was stolen. That is an irrefutable fact. Now, there is a coordinated effort to steal the 2024 election. That is an irrefutable fact. If the radical revolutionary perpetrators, who are both entrenched in government and command it from the shadows, steal another election, assassinate either of the candidates, attempt to suspend or cancel the election, refuse to sit a candidate who legitimately wins, or otherwise effect regime change unconstitutionally, We the People of the United States must revolt, overthrow the tyrants, and restore the Republic.

This is not a joke. This is not a game. These are heavy words for a heavy time. Our nation is in the most serious crisis it has ever faced – a crisis superseding the Civil War and which has the potential to do far more damage both in terms of loss of life and loss of Liberty. Indeed, we are on the brink of another civil war that will look more like the movie The Purge than a North-vs-South civil war. Rather, we are on the brink of total anarchy, mobocracy, and societal collapse that will ravage neighborhoods, turn friends against each other, and rip the Republic into pieces. We will descend into wild tribalism and bloodletting will hold sway in our communities. Starvation, famine, rapine, murder, unchecked criminality, and rampant disease are coming. Unless that is the future we want for our families, an organized revolution designed to arrest the decay and thwart the schemes of traitors is our only solution.

Let’s be honest, the American People have been justified in initiating revolution for many, many years in response to the abuse that has been heaped upon us. Since at least 1913 when the privately-owned cabal of bankers and political fiends foisted the Federal Reserve upon us and seized control of our economy, we have had sufficient justification to revolt. Our justification has increased and become stronger as presidents have illegally taken us to war, wasted our blood in foreign lands, sent trillions of our dollars abroad, used the organs of government to oppress us and persecute political dissidents, driven us into mindboggling debt, squandered our prosperity on fanciful social programs that amount to theft and wealth redistribution, taxed us to death (and have even taxed death itself), lied to us on a daily basis, used intelligence agencies to spy on us, violated the Constitution in every particular, grossly consolidated government and abused the delicate system of checks and balances that once kept government small and efficient, and generally treated We the People with contempt the same a feudal lord shows his serfs.

Let’s also establish another fact; namely, that the People – any people – have a right to rebel. This right is acknowledged and enshrined in the Declaration of Independence. The option is always available to us. Now, in our national emergency, it’s time to break the glass and use this terrible tool. The Declaration states:

“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, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

Please note what this says and its implications for us today. At least these three fundamental truths can be drawn from this glorious proclamation: 1) Rights come from God; 2) the sole purpose of government is to secure, ensure, and defend God-given rights; and 3) the People have a right to “alter,” “abolish,” or “throw off” the government when it violates its mission to secure rights.

Government has no authority in and of itself. None. It receives 100% of its authority to act in precise and enumerated cases from you and from me. That power is delegated under specific terms and conditions. It is conditional and may be revoked. Government’s express mission is to secure our rights; rights which do not come from government but from God.

In his monumental work The Law, the French philosopher Frederic Bastiat defined our basic rights and explained government’s role in protecting them:

“It is not because men have made laws, that personality, liberty, and property exist. On the contrary, it is because personality, liberty, and property exist beforehand, that men make laws. What, then, is law? As I have said elsewhere, it is the collective organization of the individual right to lawful defense.

“Nature, or rather God, has bestowed upon every one of us the right to defend his person, his liberty, and his property, since these are the three constituent or preserving elements of life; elements, each of which is rendered complete by the others, and that cannot be understood without them. For what are our faculties, but the extension of our personality? and what is property, but an extension of our faculties?

“If every man has the right of defending, even by force, his person, his liberty, and his property, a number of men have the right to combine together to extend, to organize a common force to provide regularly for this defense.

“Collective right, then, has its principle, its reason for existing, its lawfulness, in individual right; and the common force cannot rationally have any other end, or any other mission, than that of the isolated forces for which it is substituted” (Frederic Bastiat, The Law, 2).

Because rights existed prior to government, government was created to preserve them. People collectively authorized agents to work on their behalf to defend their rights. These agents form what is known as a government and are empowered only with that power they need to defend rights and prosecute violators. To repeat, they are chosen, elected, or appointed for the purpose of defending the rights of those who hired or sent them. This is government’s only “reason for existing.” When the agents who are sent to defend rights violate their duty and, instead, use their positions of trust to infringe upon those very rights they were sent to protect, the social compact is severed and the agents of government are enemies who may be rooted out.

Alexander Hamilton likewise taught that rights preexisted government. He said, “The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for, among old parchments, or musty records. They are written, as with a sun beam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power” (Alexander Hamilton, The Farmer Refuted). Try as they might, government bureaucrats and tyrants can never extinguish rights, such as the right to rebel against tyrants and the right of self-defense.

Samuel Adams, the illustrious Father of the American Revolution, expounded on what our rights are and government’s relation to them in a 1772 address. He taught:

“Among the natural rights of the Colonists are these: First, a right to life; Secondly, to liberty; Thirdly, to property; together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can. These are evident branches of, rather than deductions from, the duty of self-preservation, commonly called the first law of nature.

“All men have a right to remain in a state of nature as long as they please; and in case of intolerable oppression, civil or religious, to leave the society they belong to, and enter into another.

“When men enter into society, it is by voluntary consent; and they have a right to demand and insist upon the performance of such conditions and previous limitations as form an equitable original compact. . . .

“The natural liberty of man, by entering into society, is abridged or restrained, so far only as is necessary for the great end of society, the best good of the whole.

“In the state of nature every man is, under God, judge and sole judge of his own rights and of the injuries done him. By entering into society he agrees to an arbiter or indifferent judge between him and his neighbors; but he no more renounces his original right than by taking a cause out of the ordinary course of law, and leaving the decision to referees or indifferent arbitrators. . . .

“The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but only to have the law of nature for his rule.

“In the state of nature men may, as the patriarchs did, employ hired servants for the defence of their lives, liberties, and property; and they should pay them reasonable wages. Government was instituted for the purposes of common defence, and those who hold the reins of government have an equitable, natural right to an honorable support from the same principle that “the laborer is worthy of his hire.” But then the same community which they serve ought to be the assessors of their pay. Governors have no right to seek and take what they please; by this, instead of being content with the station assigned them, that of honorable servants of the society, they would soon become absolute masters, despots, and tyrants. Hence, as a private man has a right to say what wages he will give in his private affairs, so has a community to determine what they will give and grant of their substance for the administration of public affairs. And, in both cases, more are ready to offer their service at the proposed and stipulated price than are able and willing to perform their duty.

“In short, it is the greatest absurdity to suppose it in the power of one, or any number of men, at the entering into society, to renounce their essential natural rights, or the means of preserving those rights; when the grand end of civil government, from the very nature of its institution, is for the support, protection, and defence of those very rights; the principal of which, as is before observed, are Life, Liberty, and Property. If men, through fear, fraud, or mistake, should in terms renounce or give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the grand end of society would absolutely vacate such renunciation. The right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave” (Samuel Adams, The Rights of the Colonists, November, 1772).

Adams noted that our four primary rights are life, Liberty, property, and self-defense. These are undeniable, irrefutable, and sacrosanct. Men have a right to defend these rights with every means necessary – and to defend them against anyone and everyone, including government. When men form a government, they may elect or appoint people to defend their God-given rights on their behalf. They have no power, however, to renounce their own rights, since they are endowments from God and, as Hamilton concurred, cannot be erased by mortal power. The denial of rights – or slavery – is against nature, against God, and against Freedom itself. It is contrary to reason, then, that any government appointed for the purpose of securing rights actually has the authority to enslave people by infringing upon their rights of life, Liberty, property, and self-defense. When this becomes the sad state of affairs, it becomes not only the right, but the solemn duty of the People to rebel.

Note that the Declaration of Independence cited previously not only said the People has a right to revolt, but that it has a duty to rebel! Thomas Jefferson, the original author of that sentiment, expressed it a different way on another occasion, stating: “I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical . . . It is a medecine necessary for the sound health of government” (Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, January 30, 1787). When a society is sick, it needs medicine. Rebellion is that medicine. And our society, dear reader, is deathly sick.

John Adams, known for his delightfully blunt manner, gave his voice in support of revolution and the right to rebel against tyrants. He affirmed:

“The right of a nation to kill a tyrant, in cases of necessity, can no more be doubted, than that to hang a robber, or kill a flea. But killing one tyrant only makes way for a worse, unless the people have sense, spirit, and honesty enough to establish and support a constitution guarded at all points against tyranny; against the tyranny of the one, the few, and the many. Let it be the study, therefore, of lawgivers and philosophers, to enlighten the people’s understandings and improve their morals, by good and general education; to enable them to comprehend the scheme of government, and to know upon what points their liberties depend; to dissipate those vulgar prejudices and popular superstitions that oppose themselves to good government; and to teach them that obedience to the laws is as indispensable in them as in lords and kings” (John Adams, “Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States,” 1787).

Fleas are bloodsucking parasites that live by draining the lifeforce of others. The tyrants and traitors who infest our government do the same. Their host, however, is not a dog or cat, but the American People. They have drained our national treasury, stripped us of hope, robbed us of dignity, infringed our rights, and treated us like a thing to be devoured and discarded.

Like bloodsucking fleas, the traitors who wear a mask to appear like normal Americans can be hard to kill. They must be decisively crushed. When enough force is applied in the right manner, they die easily. The key is to spot them and to act with focus to corner and crush them. The American People, unfortunately, has become largely deaf to the roar of tyrants. Said differently, we have ignored them on purpose, seeking to avoid so-called “contention” and a confrontation. Contention itself is not good, but can it truly be said to be “contention” when we are fighting for our survival and for the rights which God has given us and expects us to defend?

As the tyranny has become so painfully obvious that no one who pays attention can deny it, millions of Americans have awoken. Tens upon tens of millions of Americans are firmly in Donald Trump’s camp, which can only be seen as an indictment of the ruling political class of demagogues and despots. Most of these tens of millions do not truly comprehend the Constitution or the principles of Liberty, yet they sense at a gut level that they are being attacked and abused, mistreated and maligned. They selected Donald Trump in 2016 as a backlash to Obama’s brazen tyranny. They selected Trump again in 2020 in the face of the idea of Biden’s continuation of Obama’s Marxist agenda. Yet, the voice of the People was silenced in 2020, and again in 2022. This time, the People are rising and voicing themselves even more forcefully in favor of Trump and against Harris and round three of Obama-style Marxist internationalism, anti-Americanism, and weakness. If our voice is stolen and silenced yet again, what other choice do we have but revolution?

The lyrics of a song state, “Revolution, the only solution. The armed response of an entire nation” (System of a Down, “P.L.U.C.K.”). What other response can there be if elections are compromised? If our voice is stolen, to arms we must resort. No rational person wants to pick up arms and revolt. Our Founding Fathers did not want to do it. They tried everything possible, and suffered horribly for years, before finally declaring Independence and fighting back against their wicked government with full force. What is our red line? We have sufficient justification to rebel now; what else are we waiting for? If our elections are taken from us, and our ability to choose our leaders is stolen, there is no other choice – our hand has been forced.

I perhaps misspeak when I say that if elections are stolen, we have no other choice but to revolt. We have another choice – surrender and submit. We can simply go along with the tyranny and renounce our right to choose our leaders. We can submit like slaves. We can work on high-tech feudal manors while despots lord over us. Sure, that’s an option. In fact, Ronald Reagan said as much in his epic “A Time for Choosing” speech. He spoke of the titanic clash between communism and the free world. Some think that war has passed, that the Cold War is old news, but that war never ended. We are participants in that same war. It is raging now more ferociously than ever before. And the choice is the same now as it was in the past – fight to be free, surrender to be enslaved. Reagan explained:

“Alexander Hamilton said, “A nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master, and deserves one.” Now let’s set the record straight. There’s no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there’s only one guaranteed way you can have peace – and you can have it in the next second – surrender.

“Admittedly, there’s a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson of history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face, that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight or surrender. If we continue to accommodate, continue to back and retreat, eventually we have to face the final demand, the ultimatum. And what then, when Nikita Khrushchev has told his people he knows what our answer will be? He has told them that we’re retreating under the pressure of the Cold War, and someday when the time comes to deliver the final ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary, because by that time we will have been weakened from within spiritually, morally, and economically. He believes this because from our side he’s heard voices pleading for “peace at any price” or “better Red than dead,” or as one commentator put it, he’d rather “live on his knees than die on his feet.” And therein lies the road to war, because those voices don’t speak for the rest of us.

“You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin – just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard ‘round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools . . . Where, then, is the road to peace? Well it’s a simple answer after all.

“You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, “There is a price we will not pay.” “There is a point beyond which they must not advance.” And this – this is the meaning in the phrase of Barry Goldwater’s “peace through strength.” . . . .

“You and I have a rendezvous with destiny.

“We’ll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we’ll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness” (Ronald Reagan, “A Time for Choosing,” October 27, 1964).

Ladies and gentlemen, Reagan was right. The option facing us is to fight or to surrender. We are already at war, as much as we might not want to admit it. We are being attacked, assaulted, and abused on every front. The enemies are abroad, and they are at home. They are the Russians, Chinese, Iranians, North Koreans, Israelis, and other foreigners, but they are also Democrats and Republicans, Antifa and BLM, union bosses and local schoolboard mini-tyrants. This insidious enemy is working from within to undermine the government, the Constitution, families, and our other precious institution. They are attacking our Faith, Families, and Freedom. It is a war as any other with long-lasting consequences, including spiritual and moral consequences. If we have no ability to rectify our problems through peaceful debate and voting, then, in all seriousness, what other option do we have but revolution?

I repeat it again, if the 2024 presidential election is stolen like the 2020 and 2022 elections were stolen, if either of the candidates is assassinated, if any entity attempts to cancel or suspend the election, the People’s legitimate choice is prevented from taking office, or regime change is brought about by any unconstitutional method, we have no choice but to rebel against the tyrants causing this oppression. At that stage, if it happens, revolution will be the only solution if we want to be free.

This is not about waging an offensive war; this is about retaliating against tyrants in the name of reclaiming our God-given, constitutionally-guaranteed rights. We are not guilty of drawing first blood, the despots in government have drawn first blood already. In fact, they have cut us over and over and over and have become emboldened by our pathetic and sickening inaction. We are bleeding to death but we feel to ashamed to save ourselves. Is the solution radical? Yes. But is the solution necessary for survival? Yes. And do we have a right to do it. Absolutely!

President Calvin Coolidge gave an incredible statement that I wish could be hung in every school and home. He said:

““The issues of the world must be met and met squarely. The forces of evil do not disdain preparation, they are always prepared and always preparing . . . The welfare of America, the cause of civilization will forever require the contribution of some part of the life of all our citizens to the natural, the necessary, and the inevitable demand for the defense of the right and the truth. There is no substitute for a militant freedom. The only alternative is submission and slavery” (Calvin Coolidge, The Price of Freedom: Speeches and Addresses, 159).

Every right-thinking individual past or present has come to the same conclusion – that we must fight for Freedom or languish in slavery. There is no alternative. There is no middle way. Neutrality is a vote for the opposition and a pledge of submission to despotism. The only way we win is by fighting back and defeating the enemy with a militant Freedom.

J. Edgar Hoover, one of communism’s greatest enemies, made a relevant statement. I wish we would take it to heart:

“Communism can exist only where it is protected and hidden. The spotlight of public exposure is the most effective means we have to use in destroying the communist conspiracy. Drag that conspiracy into the light! Tear it apart. Reveal the flaws in its philosophy. Keep the pressure on it. Force it into retreat” (J. Edgar Hoover, The Lion, October, 1957). 

Many of us have spent years dragging the conspiracy into the light and revealing its inherent flaws. It is long past time for the People to rise like lions and tear it apart. If we are not allowed to do so at the ballot box, we must use another type of box. One way or another, we have the right to be free and to elect guards for our rights. We are under no obligation to be saddled with tyranny. I will not raise my daughters in despotism. I will not live my precious life beholden to twenty-first century feudal lords. I will not allow my God-given rights to be trampled while I bow down and grovel to traitors.

If January 20, 2025 comes and the election has been stolen, rigged, suspended, or otherwise tampered with, I pray to the God of Heaven with the passion of my soul that Americans will grow a spine and embrace the American heritage of rebellion to tyrants. The truth is that rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

Such rebellion is just, correct, and even necessary when our natural rights are threatened. Our forefathers understood this and even enshrined this understanding in the Declaration of Independence. Will we cherish our Freedom as much as they did? Will we be men enough to fight as they fought to ensure the protection and welfare of our families, our country, and our rights? If not, we deserve all the damnation that God has in store for the wicked, and all the horrors that tyrants can deliver to compliant and slavish serfs.

A final point. I have often said that repentance is the only remedy to our problems. That is true. Yet, here I have said that revolution is the only solution. That is also true. The two go hand in hand. Revolution is the only solution, given that we also repent. Repentance without an accompanying revolution frees our soul from spiritual bondage but does not remove us from physical/political bondage. And revolution without repentance accomplishes might make us outwardly free but would not fix the cultural degradation we see, which would consequently usher in a reign of more chaos and despotism, for an immoral people is incapable of retaining Freedom for long.

That is why we must understand that rebelling against tyrants is a duty we owe to God, and that serving Him is part of being a true revolutionary. Amoral revolutionaries are communists – the most wicked of all conspirators. They are the ones we must revolt against. However, defending the Constitution, even by force, if necessary, is a godly responsibility. Self-defense is a duty every man owes to his family, and which every person may exercise in behalf of the rights which God gave them at birth. Fighting for Freedom is as noble a pursuit as worshipping Jesus. Indeed, it is what He expects. No moral person will begrudge anyone for defending their God-given rights and fighting to protect their Faith, Family, and Freedom. And no moral person will sit on the sidelines while Liberty is being ravished.

Unless America reverses course politically, economically, morally, and spiritually, are days as a nation are numbered. Our days as a free nation are already behind us. We live in a corrupt age where tyrants and traitors infest the halls of government, dominate schools, rule the press, control the injustice system, and collude with our foreign enemies to bring us to our knees. We have endured this abuse long enough. Now, the oppression is so blatant that our enemies are brazenly stealing elections and attempting to imprison and assassinate their political opposition. This cannot continue. November 5 is do-or-die day for America. If the Establishment candidate wins by hook and crook, we are through and our children will wade through unimaginable nightmares. If this election is stolen, buckle up, because revolution will be the only solution.
