Revolution, the Only Solution

Posted on by

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.

American Freedom Forever

Posted on by

Happy Independence Day, fellow patriot! All Americans, no matter our anger and disgust at some of the things that anti-American traitors do in our name and the ways they are raping the nation and attempting to destroy Faith, Family, and Freedom, should love America and extol her holy name. No greater nation has ever existed. No Republic has ever had a wiser Constitution – a literally God-inspired Constitution calculated to ensure the Liberty of all mankind. No nation has ever had a more incredible heritage of personal Liberty, self-government, and rule of law.

It is precisely because there is no better place on planet earth, no other Republic with the same noble heritage of Freedom, and because no other nation has the same awesome potential that we must stand up for America and the American Freedom philosophy. Now is not the time to join the Ostrich Society and put our heads in the ground, hoping the chaos will blow over or that someone else will do what must be done. Now is the time to work for the American People, to save the Constitution, to educate the rising generation in the principles of Liberty, to inspire a burning love for America in our youth, and walk in the traditions of our honorable forefathers.

Our forefathers were God-fearing, honorable, hardy, hard-working, upright, straight-talking people who jealously guarded their God-given rights and fiercely fought for self-government. They forged independent lives, built up an empire of Liberty on a savage continent, and handed down an inspiring legacy to us, their posterity. Do we thank them for their monumental efforts? Do we remember their sacrifices? Do we take the time to properly honor them and relate their stirring stories to our children?

Anti-Americans are hellbent on casting our forefathers as villains. They lie about them constantly, calling them genocidal racists and murderers. Don’t listen to these damnable lies. Don’t be duped by false versions of history no matter how in vogue by court historians and Hollywood. In August, I will graduate with my master’s degree in history. The more I pour through old records and historical accounts and write research papers, the more I love our forefathers and despise those who have created so many myths about them to smear their memories, libel their names, and encourage their posterity to hate them and reject the institutions, traditions, and principles they handed down to us.

American history is brutal. In fact, world history has always been brutal – there is no exceptions anywhere in the world. There has always been tension between those seeking gold and those seeking God, those who honor just laws and those who abuse them, those who exemplify virtue and those who debauch themselves and promote depravity, and those who fight for Liberty and those who enslave people either through the damnable institution of slavery or through the scheme of government oppression. The world is full of piracy, organized crime, slavery, rape, murder, genocide, tyranny, hedonism, nihilism, occultism, and all other forms of wickedness.

Those who falsify American history tell it as if Americans – white people especially – are uniquely evil. We are not. What a vile lie and a complete bastardization of history! Americans are unique, rather, in giving humanity a way to end all of the insanity, in providing the first example in modern history of a system of Freedom, and in setting up a constitutional system of rule of law that exalts individual God-given rights and presents opportunities for all to be stewards over their lives, their rights, their property, and their futures.

America has given the world hope where before there was none. Freedom has not been perfected yet, and it has been a wrenching experience to fight against 6,000 years of entrenched horrors and oppression, but those who set the ball rolling for humanity were those who rebelled against monarchs and tyrants in 1776 and established the U.S. Constitution in 1787. Therefore, those who unjustly condemn America are, whether knowingly or inadvertently, condemning and undermining these institutions and principles of Liberty.

What we need is not to get away from the traditions of our forefathers, but to go back to them, to embrace them, to live them. We need to break through our programming and conditioning and embrace our nature. Being an American is more than being born in America or holding U.S. citizenship. Being an American is a mindset; it is embracing Faith, Family, Freedom, constitutional rule of law, and the Freedom philosophy that defines our People.

The nineteenth century historian Anson D. Morse, identified the thing that makes Americans different from other peoples. He explained,

“Devotion to the state and obedience to formal law come, at times, into conflict. In such cases, obedience to law, if persisted in, would give us the civilization of Asia. Disregard of formal law, in order to serve the state more efficiently, is a distinctive feature of European and American civilization. In this sense, Ceasar, Luther, Hampden, and Washington were law-breakers. Between these, and those who break the law for the sake of power or passion, or self-love in any form, the difference is world-wide. The acts of the former are recognitions of political duty; the acts of the latter are denials” (Anson D. Morse, “The Political Influence of Andrew Jackson,” Political Science Quarterly 1, no. 2 (1886), 156-157, Accessed on July 1, 2024, https://doi.org/10.2307/2138966).

To Morse, a characteristic American trait is fighting for a higher law, even if it requires us to disobey the laws of the state. When the Founding Fathers declared Independence, they were violating the laws of England, the whims of Parliament, and the dictates of the king in obedience to the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God,” as the Declaration of Independence puts it. They knew 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.” They understood that God-given rights trump man-made laws 100% of the time, and they were willing to fight to ensure the protection and continuation of these rights. That is what Independence Day is all about.

Patriots fighting for Freedom at Lexington April 19, 1775

Thomas Jefferson reasoned that the laws of necessity were to prevail over all man-made laws. He said,

“A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means.”

Highlight this quotation. Study it. Internalize it. There are times when it is the higher duty of a patriot to save his country in spite of or in direct violation of the written law. Laws can be and often are corrupt, harmful, and unconstitutional. Our forefathers knew what all good people have always know, that “we ought to obey God rather than men” (Acts 5:29). They violated British law when the declared Independence and went to war against their own government, but what honest person would say they did not make the right decision? It was morally right and historically right, and thank God for it!

It is time for Americans today to be on the right side of history and morality in standing for Freedom regardless of what the tyrannical regime in Washington, D.C. says. Their laws are illegitimate if they violate the Constitution or infringe upon any of our God-given rights. Illuminate laws do not need to be obeyed because they are inherently void. Chief Justice John Marshall famous said in Marbury v. Madison in 1803, “A Law repugnant to the Constitution is void.”

Are you morally or legally obligated to obey a voided law? No! The government’s protestations to the contrary be damned. Do not submit to unconstitutional laws. Instead, submit to God’s law – the higher law. Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson proposed “Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God” as our national motto. It is the unofficial motto of patriots in all generations. Rebellion to Tyrants in Obedience to God is what we celebrate each Independence Day.

Writing about the Stamp Act in 1765, Founding Father John Dickinson said, “If you quietly bend your Necks to that Yoke, you prove yourselves ready to receive any Bondage to which your Lords and Masters shall please to subject you.” The principle is the same for any unjust law. If you submit to them, they compound, bind you, and eventually lead you captive to the whims of dictators and tyrants.  

Rights do not come from laws or even constitutions. Alexander Hamilton 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, February, 1775).

Called the First Lady of the American Revolution, Mercy Otis Warren of Boston similarly proclaimed,

“Self-defense is a primary law of nature, which no subsequent law of society can abolish; this primeval principle, the immediate gift of the Creator, obliges every one to remonstrate against the strides of ambition, and a wanton lust of domination, and to resist the first approaches of tyranny” (Larry Schweikart, Dave Dougherty, and Michael Allen, The Patriot’s History Reader: Essential Documents for Every American (United States of America: Sentinel, 2011), Chapter 11).

Ladies and gentlemen, our ancestors were profoundly good and noble human beings who loved Liberty! They were not villains; they were heroes! They were imperfect, but they forged a free Republic and a nation of law in which you could have the individual Freedom to live your life and be a steward over your own future. Independence Day is a chance to show gratitude to our forefathers and to our great God for our rights.

True Americans obey the higher law of Freedom and do not submit to legalized tyranny. The written law means nothing and is entirely void if infringes upon our unalienable rights or contradicts our inspired Constitution. It’s time for this generation to rise up in might against the tyrannical Establishment that has set itself up as our lords and masters. They wish to rule, but We the People are the only legitimate rulers in accordance with God’s law.

This Independence Day, assert your Independence, your Freedom, your sovereignty. Embrace your heritage of Liberty as an American. Return to the American tradition of Rebellion to Tyrants in Obedience to God. It is time to rise and fight for Faith, Family, and Freedom. God bless you to never surrender and to never bow the knee to mortals. Instead, bow the knee to the Savior Jesus Christ who is Lord and King over the earth and who is returning soon to reign in glory.

Tyranny is Not Reasonable

Posted on by

The worst Vice-President in history, Kamala Harris, recently said that gross violations of our God-given right of self-defense are “reasonable.” Tyranny is not reasonable. Take your feelings, cut them into shreds, and burn them. I don’t care what you “feel” about my right to defend my Faith, Family, and Freedom. God gave me that right; not you, not popular consensus, not the President, not Congress, not the Supreme Court, and not even the U.S. Constitution. 

The Second Amendment of the United States is perhaps the clearest of all amendments in the Bill of Rights. It affirms that our “right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” “Shall not be infringed” is not followed with “. . . unless we feel unsafe” or “. . . unless Californians don’t like it” or “. . . unless nine unelected tyrants in black robes say otherwise” or “. . . unless the United Nations decides people shouldn’t be armed” or “. . . unless there is a crisis” or “. . . unless a criminal or terrorist commits a deadly act with a weapon” or “. . . unless the Vice-President thinks it’s “reasonable” to do so.”  

The right to keep and bear arms in personal and private self-defense by any means necessary is not a constitutional right – there is no such thing as a constitutional right; rather, it is a God-given natural right inherited at birth and which cannot be justifiably taken away or restricted. You may forfeit your rights by misusing them to violate other people’s rights, but no one can rightfully take them from you. Period. Full stop. 

That ought to be the end of the debate. Unfortunately, conniving tyrants and ravenous despots clawing their way to power need to remove their last obstacle – an armed population. James Madison famously spoke of the “the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation.” The context of his statement makes it even more powerful. 

In Federalist No. 46, Madison discoursed on federalism and attacked the “visionary” notion that the states would ever be dominated by the federal government. He said that in order for that to happen the federal government would need to amass a standing army, which was completely contrary to the Founding Fathers’ principles. In response, Madison suggested that even if the federal government were able to create such an army, it would be no match the armed population of the people of each state: 

“Let a regular army, fully equal to the resources of the country, be formed; and let it be entirely at the devotion of the federal government; still it would not be going too far to say, that the State governments, with the people on their side, would be able to repel the danger. The highest number to which, according to the best computation, a standing army can be carried in any country, does not exceed one hundredth part of the whole number of souls; or one twenty-fifth part of the number able to bear arms. This proportion would not yield, in the United States, an army of more than twenty-five or thirty thousand men. To these would be opposed a militia amounting to near half a million of citizens with arms in their hands, officered by men chosen from among themselves, fighting for their common liberties, and united and conducted by governments possessing their affections and confidence. It may well be doubted, whether a militia thus circumstanced could ever be conquered by such a proportion of regular troops. Those who are best acquainted with the last successful resistance of this country against the British arms, will be most inclined to deny the possibility of it. Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. And it is not certain, that with this aid alone they would not be able to shake off their yokes. But were the people to possess the additional advantages of local governments chosen by themselves, who could collect the national will and direct the national force, and of officers appointed out of the militia, by these governments, and attached both to them and to the militia, it may be affirmed with the greatest assurance, that the throne of every tyranny in Europe would be speedily overturned in spite of the legions which surround it.” 

Madison was not afraid of federal tyranny because the American People were armed to the teeth. Not only were states equipped with the power, right, and duty to call up the militia (i.e. the armed people of their jurisdiction), but the people themselves had a complete and absolute right to be armed, to wield arms, and to defend themselves. The idea that the average person could and should be armed, as a right from God, for the sake of defending his own Liberty and that of his country, is the genesis of the Second Amendment. Thus, the right to keep and bear arms preceded and is superior to the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, or the Second Amendment. No government, state or federal, can strip anyone of this God-given right. To do so is brazen tyranny and treason. 

If we allow ourselves to be disarmed, we will be led as lambs to the slaughter. We will become like every other weak and enslaved nation if we relinquish our right to protect what matters most – our Faith, Family, and Freedom. Barring authentic revelation from Almighty God, no true man and especially no real Christian would give up his arms and leave his family defenseless and surrender his rights to maniacal tyrants and vain oppressors. You are duty-bound to defend your family even to bloodshed if necessary. 

Remember, it is the duty of the American People to shatter in pieces any tyrannical government that attempts to set itself up over them. The Declaration of Independence affirms: 

“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 burn this truth in your mind – it is not only your authentic right, but your sacred duty to “throw off” and “abolish” any government that would violate your rights. This is what our forefathers did in 1776. They did not fight against a foreign government; they overthrew their own government that had become oppressive. They therefore declared it as a permanent right that all peoples possess at all times to rise up and overthrow any government that becomes despotic and tramples their rights. 

Lastly, I give you the words of John Adams. In his Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States, he proclaimed: 

“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.” 

Tyrants, by definition, have abused their oaths and violated the rights of the People. They have therefore come out as enemies to the country and to the God of Liberty. It is therefore the right of that nation so abused to kill the tyrants who oppress them and who Lord over them without right or authority. 

John Adams’ caution is also crucial. In order to win in this war against tyranny, we must be moral, good, and upright. It would lead to chaos worse than before if we removed a tyrannical regime but left a vacuum that could be filled with every imaginable type of oppressive government from tribalism to monarchy to democracy. As it currently stands, though tyrants infest every nook and cranny of our federal government, we still have the Constitution as a broad framework. No government was ever more inspired and wisely formed than the Constitution if we would only follow it and hold our elected “representatives” accountable. Thus, we must be wise, upright, good, moral, just, and religious people. We must turn to God and, in His strength, rise up to remove obstructions to our full exercise of Liberty, to prosperity, and to peace. 

Without our God-given right to keep and bear arms in self-defense, we would have little hope of ever reversing our current plight and maintaining what Liberty remains. Never surrender your arms. Never barter away your rights. Never acquiesce to grasping tyrants who hate you, want to enslave you, and pretend they are your masters. Embrace the American tradition of rebellion to tyrants. 

I leave off with this encouragement from Patrick Henry on the eve of the opening shots of the glorious American Revolution: 

“Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable–and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come. 

“It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace– but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

Shall Not Be Infringed

Posted on by

“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.” – Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution 

The principles of good government are not hard to understand. Most are exceedingly simple and easy to grasp when explained properly. The right of self-defense is one of the easiest of all laws to explain, defend, and justify – especially in the United States with our Heaven-sent Constitution. 

Government exists for one very specific reason – to defend and secure the rights of the people it governs. 100% of the power exercised by government officers is delegated to them by sovereign individuals acting in their collective capacity as “the People.” These powers are called “enumerated powers” because they are each individually spelled out in the compact between the People and their representatives called the Constitution.  

The Declaration of Independence expresses the point of government more eloquently and memorably than anywhere else. It affirms: 

“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.” 

Let’s rephrase the idea. Individuals have an equal claim on rights and Liberty. These rights come from God. They are “sacred and undeniable,” to quote Thomas Jefferson’s rough draft of the Declaration. Because they are sacrosanct and inestimably precious, government was created by men for the express purpose of ensuring their free exercise. 

Because rights are given by God to individuals, individuals alone have the right and prerogative to defend and exercise them. However, when individuals group together in society, it becomes easier and more convenient to have some third party provide for the collective defense and ensure everyone the free and equal exercise of their rights. This third party is called government. All of its powers are conditional grants delegated to it by people for one reason only – to defend God-given, individual rights. 

Sadly, those agents chosen to represent the People in government and wield their delegated power are too often greedy, conniving, power-hungry, usurping, would-be tyrants. They take power unto themselves that was never delegated or specifically enumerated in the Constitution, thus breaking the societal compact and violating their oaths to uphold and defend the Constitution. 

There is no divine right of kings in America – or anywhere else. It is a myth created by those seeking to dominate their fellow men. Thomas Jefferson rejected this dangerous myth in these words: 

“The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view the palpable truth that the mass of mankind has not been born, with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of god” (Thomas Jefferson to Roger C. Weightman, June 24, 1826). 

No one has a right to rule over another, with the exception of parents over children until they come of age. All governments hold a conditional form of power and authority. The condition is that they use that delegated power and authority to safeguard individual rights. Yet, the fundamental condition of humanity is that individuals retain full control over their own rights, including those they conditionally delegate. They can exercise their rights, powers, and authority when government abuses its power, fails to fulfill its purpose, or when necessity demands. 

The Constitution mandates that Congress alone has the authority to declare and make war. No other branch of government, and not even state governments, may lawfully make war without congressional approval, with one exception. The exception is found in the last clause of Article 1 detailing the powers delegated by the People to Congress. It states: 

“No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, . . . engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.” 

This clause contains a greater principle: When necessity calls, the call must be answered. The rights of self-defense, which God gave to individuals in the beginning as the means of defending the Liberty and agency He gave them at the same time, may be exercised without governmental approval when necessity demands. 

Were Mexico to suddenly invade Texas, Texas would have a right – even a duty – to call up its militia and wage war against the invading hordes regardless of whether Congress sanctioned the action or formally declared war. So, too, individuals may use their God-given right to defend themselves and their rights without consulting local police, county officers, the state governor, Congress, or anyone else beforehand. The right of self-defense is inherent. After the right of life, without which all other rights could not exist, no other right is more logical, justifiable, and reasonable than the individual right of self-defense. 

This may be looked at a different way. Government has the privilege of self-defense. Where did government get this privilege and power? They received them from the People who delegated them. Ergo, the People, which is comprised of individuals working together by consent with other individuals, have the right of self-defense. 

Notice that I said government has the privilege of self-defense, not the right. Government has no rights. Government is the creature, not the creator. It must bow to the whims of its creators. Its creators are individuals working together as “the People.” If the People decide to amend, alter, or abolish their creation, they have every right to do so. This right to amend, alter, or abolish government is inherent in the People and is spelled out by the Declaration of Independence. 

Immediately after the Declaration states that government exists to secure our God-given rights, it contains this bold assertion: 

“[W]henever 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.” 

These lines are every bit as essential as the more famous ones preceding them in the Declaration. They make it crystal clear that government has no rights, powers, or authority in and of itself, that the People are the masters over government, and that the People not only have a right but a sacred duty to amend, alter, or abolish the government they created when it violates or fails its purpose to secure God-given rights equally to all. 

There are a mere 1,300 words in the Declaration of Independence. Each word was chosen carefully and deliberately first by the great Thomas Jefferson and then sanctioned by the fifty-six men who signed it and the inhabitants of the states who embraced it as their mission statement. Of all the things they could have included, they elected to emphasize the purpose of government, the power of the People over their government, and the right of people to alter or abolish their government. 

These truths have many applications to self-defense. First, they show that rights – including the right to defend all other rights – come from God and are held by individuals. Second, they show that government was created and commissioned to secure the rights of individuals, including their right of self-defense. Third, they show that people may exercise their rights – yes, even their awesome right of self-defense – when government oversteps its bounds or when necessity requires. 

No one has ever taken away your right of self-defense. Unless you have violated the equal rights of another individual, you retain your rights fully and in their entirety. The laws and regulations that claim otherwise are by their very nature null and void. How can the creature take away anything from the creator? It can’t. And neither can government take away your rights. You may acquiesce to their attempts to disarm and enslave you, but government can’t strip you of something that God gave you. 

Were government to try to disarm you or take away any of your rights, the compact between the People and government would be snapped in two and you would be left sovereign and in full possession of your rights. This quiver of rights includes in it the right, and duty, to alter or to abolish government and to erect new guards to safeguard your rights. 

This understanding is not radical; it is fundamental. It was the understanding of our forefathers. It’s spelled out in the Declaration of Independence. The Constitution specifically confirms, and implicitly affirms, the individual right of self-defense in several powerful ways. The Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights is the most famous. It proclaims: 

“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.” 

Sometimes people get caught up on the “well regulated Militia” part, twisting it in their vain attempt to make it seem that the militia was under the control of the government. The militia, simply, was the whole body of armed citizens. That is to say, the People – the same “People” from whom government derives all of its powers. Congress is actually mandated to fund militias in the states that will be locally controlled, but they have conveniently ignored that provision. 

The Founding Fathers left no doubt as to who the militia was and that it was their unassailable right to keep and bear arms for their own self-defense. I provide several quotations. First, in 1787, as the newly written Constitution was being debated, the Pennsylvania Ratifying Convention declared: 

“That the people have a right to bear arms for the defence of themselves and their own state, or the United States, or for the purpose of killing game; and no law shall be passed for disarming the people or any of them, unless for crimes committed, or real danger of public injury from individuals” (Minority of the Pennsylvania Ratifying Convention, December 12, 1787). 

To the people of Pennsylvania, people had the right to keep and bear arms for numerous purposes, including personal self-defense, the defense of their state and country, and for hunting. So firm were they on this point that they said “no law shall be passed for disarming the people,” unless they had committed crimes or posed “real danger of public injury.” 

Second, the New Hampshire Ratifying Convention said in 1788 that “Congress shall never disarm any citizen, unless such as are or have been in actual rebellion” (New Hampshire Ratifying Convention Amendments, June 21, 1788). 

This is direct wording. To New Hampshire, no one except those in or having committed actual rebellion could be disarmed. A finger beyond that was unjust. 

Third, Patrick Henry averred: 

“The militia, sir, is our ultimate safety. We can have no security without it. . . . The great object is, that every man be armed. . . . Everyone who is able may have a gun” (Patrick Henry, Speech at the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 5, 1788). 

No one can mistake this statement from one of America’s most outspoken orators and statesmen. Henry said that the militia is comprised of every man who should be armed. Every person “who is able may have a gun.” There was no requirement to belong to a military organization to own firearms; owning arms for personal defense was a universal right. Henry would recoil in horror and revulsion at any thought to the contrary. 

Next, Joseph Story, a prominent justice on Supreme Court in the early Republic, said of the Second Amendment: 

“The importance of this article will scarcely be doubted by any persons who have duly reflected upon the subject. The militia is the natural defense of a free country against sudden foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpations of power by rulers. It is against sound policy for a free people to keep up large military establishments and standing armies in time of peace, both from the enormous expenses, with which they are attended, and the facile means, which they afford to ambitious and unprincipled rulers, to subvert the government, or trample upon the rights of the people . . . The right of citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a Republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them” (Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution, Vol. 3). 

In the full quotation, Story said that the militia should be “well regulated” and trained in order to keep the People, as he said, “duly armed.” The easiest way to keep them prepared at all times to repel “foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpations of power by rulers” was to give them formal training and arms. This, he believed, would prevent future tyranny. He worried, however, that apathy and resistance to being martially trained to wield their arms would lead to indifference and, ultimately, contempt for the Second Amendment. Story predicted that this lack of care would “gradually undermine all the protection intended by this clause of our national bill of rights” if not checked. 

The salient truth is, however, that the militia, the citizens, or the People, may have their arms and use them against invaders, against insurrectionists, and against government. This is nothing but an echo of the Declaration of Independence which codified in law the People’s right of rebellion when their rights were being violated and the government misused. 

Finally, the town of Preston, Connecticut gave us this vow that we must adopt as our own: 

“All will agree that the people should retain so much power that if ever venality and corruption should prevail in our public councils and government should be perverted and not answer the end of the institution, viz., the well being of society and the good of the whole, in that case the people may resume their rights and put an end to the wantonness. In whatever government the people neglect to retain so much power in their hands as to be a check to their rulers, depravity and the love of power is so prevalent in the humane mind, even of the best of men, that tyranny and cruelty will inevitably take place” (Instructions of Town Meeting, November 26, 1787). 

Yet again we see that the purpose of government is to secure our rights. When it fails, the Second Amendment kicks in and the People have the power to “check their rulers,” tyranny, and cruelty. The People standing up in rebellion to tyranny is the ultimate use of self-defense. 

This fundamental right, this essential law of nature, “shall not be infringed.” End of debate. Period. 

Is this plain language unclear to anyone with a basic understanding of the English language? Of course not! The Webster’s 1828 dictionary says that “infringe” means: 

“1. To break, as contracts; to violate, either positively by contravention, or negatively by non-fulfillment or neglect of performance. A prince or a private person infringes an agreement or covenant by neglecting to perform its conditions, as well as by doing what is stipulated not to be done. 

“2. To break; to violate; to transgress; to neglect to fulfill or obey; as, to infringe a law. 

“3. To destroy or hinder; as, to infringe efficacy.” 

Let’s rephrase the Second Amendment with these definitions. The Second Amendment tells government that it must never break, violate, transgress, neglect, destroy, or hinder the People’s right to keep and bear arms. Period. No gun laws, restrictions, regulations, statutes, or policies are just, constitutional, or lawful. 

The exception – the only exception – is that individuals may forfeit their rights by violating the rights of others. A murderer, for instance, may have his fundamental right to life taken. A thief may be compelled to offer up his own property to pay back the bereaved. And an insurrectionist may have his firearms stripped from him if he attempts to rebel against constituted and just authority or breathes out seditious threats against the life, Liberty, or property of others. 

Linguistically, “shall not” is strong and unmistakable phraseology. It’s command language. One legal organization defines “shall not” like this: “Shall not or “must not” means a procedure is prohibited.” The federal government, therefore, is absolutely prohibited to violate our right to keep and bear arms for our own self-defense. 

A government website states the following about “shall” and “must”: 

““Shall” has three strikes against it. 

First, lawyers regularly misuse it to mean something other than “has a duty to.” It has become so corrupted by misuse that it has no firm meaning. . . . 

“. . . “must” is a better choice, and the change has already started to take place. The new Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, for instance, use “must,” not “shall.”” 

By their own reckoning, the government acknowledges that “shall not” means they “must not” violate the People’s right to keep and bear arms. It also admits that the government “has a duty to” not to violate in any way, shape, form, or fashion the Second Amendment with its guarantee of our God-given natural right to defend ourselves. “Shall not be infringed” is thus clear enough language for all but traitors and tyrants. 

Dear reader, your right to defend yourself with arms – any arms – is a sacrosanct, divinely-given, constitutionally-protected, common-sense, undeniable right. No one can justly strip you of your means of self-defense; nor can they do so without your acquiescence. Those who would take away your right to defend yourself have evil intentions in their hearts and should be not only distrusted, but immediately and assertively rejected as enemies to the Constitution, to America, and to human Freedom. 

Freedom is what’s at stake in this battle over our God-given right of self-defense. If we surrender our right to keep and bear arms in personal and collective self-defense, we open the door to a surge of demonic despotism. Think of the myriad of ways our corrupt, hijacked government has abused, mistreated, and violated us in spite of our 400 million privately-owned weapons. Can you fathom how much more savagely they would push us around and rape our rights if we didn’t have arms to defend ourselves?! 

The right of self-defense is a red line. Self-defense is the ultimate right – the defender of all others. Unless the Holy Spirit of the Lord tells you to personally comply for some higher reason known to your Creator, you must never comply with gun control totalitarianism. As Daniel rejected the king’s immoral ban on prayer, so, too, must you reject unconstitutional government decrees against your God-given right to defend yourself. Such disarmament attempts are devoid of logic, grounded in emotionalism, entirely unconstitutional, unarguably tyrannical, and utterly wicked. 

The Lord will fight our battles, but only if we’re in the battle. Sitting on the sidelines is submission and slavery. Not only will you lose your Liberty if you fail to fight, but you will lose your honor, your soul, and your exaltation in the Kingdom of God. These are the weighty matters of law, and we will account for them. Our Father in Heaven did not endow us with sacred rights so that we would surrender them when the spiritually wicked in high places demanded (Ephesians 6:12). 

We’re better than that. We’re freemen. We’re Americans. We’re endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, including the right to life, Liberty, property, and the means to defend them and hand them down to our children as a just inheritance. If the spirit of 1776 is not kindled in your heart, strike the match this instant. Bow down and humble yourself before your Heavenly King and swear on His altar, with our forefathers who forged this great nation, that your sacred rights shall not be infringed.

Financial Tyranny

Posted on by

You’re a slave. I’m a slave. We’re all slaves. We’re in financial bondage to a group of maniacally insidious global feudal lords. They keep us in chains with money, debt, and taxation. We will never free ourselves from this savage slavery until we admit we’re enslaved. 

Taxation is theft. Inflation is hidden taxation. Government fees for licenses and permits of every conceivable type are other hidden taxes. Government “charity” programs are made possible by taxes and worthless paper “money” printed out of thin air. The entire thing is a charade – a house of cards ready to crumble. 

The national debt of the United States is currently $32,708,829, 263,293. Wait, now it’s $32,708,830,288,079. No, now it is $32,708,831,193,610. . . You get the idea – it’s increasing at an unfathomable rate literally every second of the day and night. The debt per citizen is $97,566. 

Each new dollar of this debt is another link in the chain that binds you to the financial overlords. They own you. They hold you for ransom. They hold your entire life in the palms of their hands. Their despotically arbitrary regulations restrict your financial Freedom at every turn. 

You can’t transfer money on PayPal without the IRS getting involved and possibly holding your money without cause for weeks at a time. You can’t take out more than x number of dollars if you go abroad on a trip. You can’t take money out of an ATM in many locations without a fee and without every cent of it being tracked. You can’t buy plane tickets without government taxes making up half or more than half of the total cost. You can’t buy a house, open a business, lend money, spend money, or any other transaction of note, without it being subject to denial or approval by this or that institution or by government. You can’t buy milk at the grocery store without being taxed either directly by taxes or indirectly by inflation. No, you simply can’t escape the pull of debt, the damaging attack of inflation, and the constant looking over your shoulder by Big Brother, banks, and financial robber barons. 

This is tyranny. This is oppression. This is taxation without representation. It is duplicitous, dishonest, damaging, despotic, and Devilish. It is part of the reason why our forefathers took up their arms and fought for Independence from their tyrannical government. When will we do the same? 

How long do we need to endure the torture our high-tech feudal lords inflict upon us? How much longer will we subserviently cower before the arrogant throne of the Federal Reserve, BIS, IRS, BlackRock, Washington, D.C., and all the other myriad financial institutions that take advantage of us? How long will we allow a clique of bankers – many of them foreigners, Judeo-Bolsheviks, and traitors – to manipulate and abuse us and hold us for ransom with our own hard-earned money? 

Will we allow ourselves to finally die an ignominious death of a thousand cuts simply because we weren’t man enough to stand up and fight for our Faith, Families, and Freedom? We’re at the point when the men of this beleaguered country will have to make the decision to leave their ploughs and pick up their pitchforks. The system we’re entangled in is not sustainable. It only leads to deeper slavery, more monstrous oppression, and bloodshed. 

We’re on the verge of financial ruin and collapse – engineered and deliberate financial catastrophe. It’s part of a long-term plan that has been generations in the making. Our grandparents and parents went along with it as the tentacles grew tighter around our wrists, ankles, and neck. Now, we’re passively and apathetically sitting still as the thick chains bind us more completely by the day. 

With financial serfdom and engineered financial collapse comes many things. First, normal items will become impossible to pay for. Store items, one by one, will increase in price even though your salary won’t keep pace. Luxuries will become rarer. Shortages will escalate. 

Then, when the dollar has finally become worthless and has lost its respectability, it will be discarded by our overlords and will be replaced with a digital currency. This currency already exists. It will be the greatest control measure known to history. No one will be able to make any transactions – whether buying or selling – without approval from a government-controlled or government-affiliated or government-commissioned institution, organization, or agency. And, naturally, these “government” organizations will be controlled from above by the same nefarious men and cliques that control it today. 

To get people to comply with this all-pervasive totalitarianism, the world destroyers will likely throw more crises at us. Perhaps another virus hoax to justify lockdowns and additional controls, or even a real one that kills millions and also justifies extreme government control measures. Perhaps they will bring upon us global famine, as I predicted in my article “The Coming Global Holodomor.” They are already committing widespread and frequent terror attacks against the food and agricultural industries, as I documented in my piece “The Terror Attacks We Aren’t Talking About.” They may even throw an assassination attempt at the puppet-in-chief, blame it on someone else, and institute Continuity of Government schemes to institute military dictatorship, as I predicted in my 2021 article “The Coming Assassination False Flag.” 

Whatever tactics this group of Elite jackals uses, it’s clear that their goals include reducing the world population by genocide, establishing total financial domination over the world, and ushering in a global Marxian government. This portends total mobocracy, bloodshed, collapse, and chaos here in the United States and abroad. Yet, many of us won’t go quietly into the night; we won’t peacefully board the cattle cars scheduled to take us to the GULAG for reeducation or disposal. And since many of us won’t submit to this fiendish oppression, it means war. 

Are you ready to fight? Are you preparing? Are you even thinking about the realities, or are you hiding your head in the sand? Turning a blind eye to the truth that chains of slavery are being wrapped around your arms and legs by vicious slavers who want to consume your soul will only ensure the nightmare plays out in broad daylight. 

Patrick Henry had wise counsel for men in a similar, though less dangerous, situation in 1775. He urged manly courage and duty in the face of an attacking enemy: 

“If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable–and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come. 

“It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace– but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” 

For those so timid and servile as to recoil at the thought of fighting for Freedom, I rebuke and disown you. You’re not my countrymen. You’re cowards, pathetic, and spineless. You don’t deserve citizenship in this Empire of Liberty unless you are willing to fight like men. The first step is acknowledging that we are in a war and that we are under attack. 

Remember, though, we’re not alone in this battle. Patrick Henry reminded us that: 

“we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.” 

Be vigilant and brave. Do the right thing. Choose the right side. Join the holy cause of Liberty. Turn to God for support. If we be on His side, who can prevail against us? 

We have only sunken down into our current state of pathetic serfdom because we have forgotten the God who presides over nations, the God who helped our forefathers win their War for Independence, the God who inspired our Constitution, the God who raised up America above all nations, and the God who is the Lord of Hosts who is returning soon to avenge the wrongs committed by Satan’s henchmen against the Saints of our Savior Jesus Christ. 

We are all in grueling financial bondage, but the Lord who paid all debts can make us free. We are struggling in chains forged by demonic tyrants, but we can be liberated as easily from them as when the Apostles were freed more than once from incarceration and certain death (Acts 5:17-23; Acts 12:5-11). Satan is disgustingly impotent, yet this is the great day of his usurped power. It’s the day when the world loves darkness rather than light. But the unstoppable light will shine when the Light of the world returns. 

Resist the tyranny. Reject the financial bondage you are being bound in. Fight back however you can and sharpen your swords. You will need them sooner than later either to defend your family during the coming engineered collapse or against tyrants. Our forefathers rebelled over far less than the daily abuse and despotism heaped upon our backs, and they prevailed by adoring the Invisible Hand that controls the nations. 

If we follow in the same footsteps by humbling ourselves before the Lord Jesus Christ and fighting like men for our Faith, Families, and Freedom – even if it means literally fighting – then we will triumph. As it is, we have collectively been too cowardly, ignorant, or immoral to fight off the serpentine chords of the overlords of high finance which have bound us tightly. 

But today is a new day. What will we do? In whom will we trust? For what will we fight? Our financial bondage makes it more difficult for us to reject tyranny, but it’s our duty to do so. Let’s be men of honor and fight back at last.

“The Most Ridiculous Insurrection”

Posted on by

Political prisoner Stewart Rhodes of Oath Keepers fame recently said in an interview on the January 6th nonsense that: “It was not an insurrection. It’s the most ridiculous insurrection of world history.” Rhodes is correct that the January 6th false-flag event was not an “insurrection” and, that, if you attempt to consider it one, you must also conclude it was the most utterly “ridiculous,” pitiful, and impotent insurrection ever conducted. 

Rhodes was recently found “guilty” of sedition on January 6th in a Stalinist show trial. If he loses his appeals, he will essentially spend the next twenty years in prison. What was his great crime? The Gateway Pundit gave an apt rundown of what Rhodes did not do on January 6th: 

“He NEVER went inside the US Capitol on January 6. 
He never instructed anyone to go inside the US Capitol. 
He was unarmed as were all of his Oath Keeper associates that day. 
They left their weapons outside of the city in their hotel rooms. 
There was no plan to enter the US Capitol. 
The few Oath Keepers who entered the US Capitol assisted police. 
There was no scheme to take over the government with their bare hands. 
There were no pre-planning meetings on how they were going to take over the Capitol. 
The prosecution was a sham. 
There was no evidence of an insurrection – at all! 
The jury was a pool of DC Communists and unhinged left-wing activists who see themselves as victims.” 

Rhodes’ prosecution and conviction were grave travesties of justice. It was test case to see how openly Stalinist the political Establishment could be – how blatantly they could throw their opposition in prison with no evidence of any crime being committed – before the American People reacted. So far, the American People haven’t reacted at all and, so, the Stalinist prosecutorial machinery keeps grinding forward. How many more patriots will it crush to powder before we wake up, mobilize, and act to kill tyranny in America? 

In truth, however, I’m far more livid with Stewart Rhodes and the Oath Keepers, and with other January 6 patriots and Donald Trump, than I am with the corrupt, lying political Establishment. Why? 

First, I don’t expect anything above lies, slander, false accusations, show trials, and treachery from the Establishment and their socialist lackeys. I understand conspiracy and I know how evil these Satanic traitors are and how they’ve waged constant war against our Republic from its inception. They’ve murdered, robbed, raped, plundered, invaded sovereign nations, jailed opposition, drugged populations, brainwashed and abused children, attacked the Constitution, and fought against God and His laws. There’s nothing they haven’t done and won’t do to destroy our nation, erase our Constitution, and erect a collectivized and all-powerful police state on the ashes. 

Second, Trump did nothing to stop the election theft in 2020. Absolutely nothing! His supporters also did nothing but wave flags, parade around, and gripe online. Republicans have also done nothing to rectify the left of the 2022 election, though Kari Lake has at least attempted to reverse the glaring theft of the governorship in Arizona. 

Third, Rhodes and Oath Keepers are oath-breakers who reneged on their oaths to fight against America’s enemies, foreign and domestic. In the days after the stolen 2020 election, on December 14, 2020, to be exact, Stewart Rhodes wrote a spirited open letter on his now defunct oathkeepers.org to President Donald Trump warning him of what would happen if he allowed himself to be thrust out of power by election-stealers. He wrote: 

“President Trump, We now face a moment of peril as great, or greater, as what General Washington and his men faced in 1776. The very survival of our nation as a free Constitutional Republic hangs in the balance. We have but one last chance to save it. The fate of unborn millions will now depend on your conduct, the conduct of the current members of our armed forces, and the conduct of we the many millions of American veterans and patriots who are still loyal to our Constitution. . . . 

“It’s time to honor that oath by defending the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. 

“This is your moment of destiny. Will you take your place in history as the savior of our Republic, right up there with President Washington and Lincoln? Or will you fail to act, while you still can, and leave office on January 20, 2021, leaving We the People to fight a desperate revolution/civil war against an illegitimate usurper and his Chicom puppet regime? 

“We are already at war with communist China and its willing American agents, puppets, and co-conspirators who seek to overthrow our Constitution, as well as the international elites and other foreign enemies who have aided and abetted this war on our nation. They have infiltrated and taken over every branch of government at every level, state and federal. War isn’t coming – war is already here. 

“Communist China could never defeat us in open battle, so instead, it infiltrated and subverted our institutions, bought and blackmailed American elites, and made allegiance with willing domestic enemies of our Constitution, to defeat us from the inside out, without having to fire a shot, by using what is commonly referred to as “Fourth Generation Warfare” doctrines and methods. This is war by other means, but it is war nonetheless. Through well-orchestrated mass vote fraud, the Communist Chinese and their domestic enemy allies are about to install their illegitimate puppet, Joe Biden, and his equally illegitimate puppet running mate, Kamala Harris, into the White House, with their treasonous fingers on the nuclear launch codes. 

“You must act NOW as a wartime President, pursuant to your oath to defend the Constitution, which is very similar to the oath all of us veterans swore. We are already in a fight. It’s better to wage it with you as Commander-in-Chief than to have you comply with a fraudulent election, leave office, and leave the White House in the hands of illegitimate usurpers and Chinese puppets. Please don’t do it. Do NOT concede, and do NOT wait until January 20, 2021. Strike now. 

“If you fail to act while you are still in office, we the people will have to fight a bloody civil war and revolution against these two illegitimate Communist China puppets, and their illegitimate regime, with all of the powers of the deep state behind them, with nominal command of all the might of our armed forces (though we fully expect many units or entire branches to refuse their orders and to fight against them) and with their foreign allies also joining in to assist in the suppression of American patriots. 

“Without clean elections, we no longer have a Republic, and you are charged by the Constitution with preserving a republican form of government wherein the people actually elect their own representatives in clean elections. . . . 

“Clearly an unlawful combination and conspiracy in multiple states (indeed, in every state) has acted to deprive the people of the fundamental right to vote for their representatives in a clean, fair election as is required in a free nation, striking at the very heart of what it means to have a republican form of government, and disenfranchising them. You, and you alone, are fully authorized by the Insurrection Act to determine that such a situation exists, and to use the U.S. military and the militia to rectify that situation. And the militia includes not only the National Guard units of each state, called into federal service, but also includes the body of the people, age 17-45, and especially us military veterans. . . . 

“There is no way out but through. And we will NOT submit to a Chicom puppet regime. You must stand tall and use your constitutional powers to fight this war against enemies foreign and domestic while you are still President and Commander-in-Chief. If you fail to do so, we the people will have to fight a bloody revolution/civil war to throw off an illegitimate deep state/Chinese puppet regime. . . . 

“Know this: millions of American military and law enforcement veterans, and many millions more loyal patriotic American gun owners stand ready to answer your call to arms, and to obey your orders to get this done” (Stewart Rhodes, “Open Letter to President Trump: You Must Use Insurrection Act to ‘Stop the Steal’ and Defeat the Coup,” oathkeepers.org, December 14, 2020). 

That didn’t age well, did it? Rhodes not so much as lifted a finger to fulfill one word of this passionate plea. He warned of rebellion to tyrants, but didn’t rebel. He warned of fighting a bloody war “to throw off an illegitimate . . . regime,” but did nothing to fight or initiate such a war. Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, Alex Jones – despite all the accusations against them – did absolutely nothing to effect a revolution the spirit of our forefathers who threw of the shackles of monarchical Britain. 

Perhaps Rhodes didn’t act because he sensed what I’ve lamented many times; namely, that the American People aren’t awake enough to wage revolution against the occupiers, meaning such a revolt would, at present, fail or turn into something more like the Jacobin-Illuminati insurrection in France. Or perhaps Rhodes felt undercut by Trump’s cowardly compliance with the stolen election. 

I didn’t vote for Trump in 2016 or 2020, and I won’t vote for him in 2024, if indeed the election even happens or Trump is even permitted to be on the ballot. Why? Because he’s not a man of his word and has no true knowledge of either the U.S. Constitution or the conspiracy against it. He left us hanging during the Coronahoax Plandemic. He single-handedly shut down the U.S. economy and, through Operation Warpspeed, foisted poisoned vaccine bioweapons on tens of millions of Americans. He allowed Antifa and Black Lives Matter to rampage across the nation, burning city blocks, occupying police stations, and murdering about three dozen innocent people. For all his bluster and big talk, his actions were weak, without direction, and without courage. 

I never expected much of Trump, though, knowing his amoral past. He surprised me by being better than I thought he’d be in office, but he is hardly the best man for the job. However, I expected far more of Steward Rhodes and Oath Keepers. I was disappointed they didn’t lift a finger except to type some online messages that they obviously had no intention of fulfilling. 

I comprehend fully that the American People are not yet awake enough to have a 1776-esque revolution. We’re too distracted, divided, and dumb. We don’t know the Constitution or its principles. We’ve forsaken God. We have too few leaders in important positions who can lead in a crisis. We lack the same spirit the Sons of Liberty possessed. January 6th was maybe our biggest show of force to date, yet what was it really except a disorganized, leaderless rally with flags, false hope, and misplaced trust? 

Imagine an “insurrection” so violent that the “perpetrators” meander within lose stanchions as police mill around.

For a few exciting minutes on January 6, my hopes were raised that the American People, fed up with a century of treachery and unconstitutional behavior by conniving political criminals, were finally fighting back. I was wrong. The video evidence shows that only a couple hundred people entered the Capitol Building, that most of the crowd condemned the few provocateurs who attacked the side of the building, and that the crowd simply melted away without doing anything meaningful except listening to President Trump’s repetitive and deflated speech. 

While there were doubtless people carrying concealed firearms, no protesters brandished or fired their firearms on January 6th. The only gun that was fired was pointed at the protestors. The bullet struck unarmed U.S. military veteran Ashli Babbitt, killing her dead for the crime of clambering through a door. What kind of 21st-century “insurrection” doesn’t use firearms? Aren’t Trump supporters and “conservatives” lambasted constantly as gun-toting rednecks and bitter clingers? If that’s true, and we’re so violent and dangerous and full of hate, and if January 6 was truly an “insurrection,” then why didn’t a single patriot fire a weapon? A “ridiculous insurrection” indeed! 

Nevertheless, despite our cowardness hitherto, our Lexington and Concord moment is coming soon. It has to. If it doesn’t, we will march into a thousand years of darkness, chains, and misery. When the occupying Establishment finally pushes someone too far, and they manfully exercise their right to defend their God-given Freedom and fulfill the promises and duties listed in the Declaration of Independence, what will you do? 

Stewart Rhodes won’t do anything, because he let himself be arrested without a fight by evil people he acknowledged to be illegitimate traitors. Trump won’t do anything except bluster on social media, if he’s even around. But what will you do? Whose side will you be on? Will you call for restraint like sunshine patriots or will you boldly proclaim, “Give me Liberty or give me death!” like the Founding Fathers? 

Let’s recall Patrick Henry’s rousing words just prior to Lexington and Concord in 1775: 

“They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable–and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come. 

Art from StepNeal.art

“It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace– but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” 

Patriot, the war is actually begun! A communistic criminal cult occupies our government and is fighting for sole control over our society. It wants to burn the Constitution, eliminate checks and balances, consolidate all power in the hands of the bureaucratic state with its plutocratic ringleaders, dissolve the United States, merge our nation into a one-world dictatorship, snuff out Christianity, morality, and goodness, and once and for all annihilate Freedom. 

None of this is hyperbolic. It’s not an exaggeration. The political Elite hate us and anyone who inspires us to stand up, like Donald Trump. I’ve written before that his greatest achievement is emboldening average Americans to stand up and speak out. The Elite can’t have that. So, they must silence the town crier and create a chilling effect and an environment of fear and compliance in which no one dares step out of line. That is why their attacks on Trump will only continue. 

In a recent interview, Stewart Rhodes predicted what comes next for Trump: 

“This is the whole point of the J6 prosecutions and demonization of everyone that was there is to build up to this moment. They start indicting President Trump for felonies. And this nonsense about the records in Florida. I think, this is just a stepping stone. The next indictment is going to be the real knockout blow. It is going to be January 6th. It’s under the same special prosecutor. He has a grand jury convened also in Washington, DC for January 6th. So that’s going to be the knockout blow. This was the jab, and the next one is going to be the J6 prosecution. And this prosecutor I listened to, I read some of the things he said. He talked just like all the other prosecutors. He’s no different. It’s the same kind of twisting and hyperbole and smear campaign being used against a criminal defendant that was used against me . . . That grand jury in Washington, DC would indict a MAGA hat . . . They’re going to indict Trump again for January 6. It’s going to be the same charges that they labeled against me in my case and the Proud Boys cases. All the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys were their test cases to work out the charges, work out the methodology, and now they’re going to apply the exact same machine to President Trump.” 

Who can doubt but that the corrupt conspiratorial Establishment will indeed pursue charges against Trump to the gates of hell? The last charges didn’t stick. Will the new ones brought against him over the weekend? Will a future set stick? If they do, and Trump goes away to prison, will his supporters who didn’t do anything but wave flags when he was robbed of the 2020 election and thrust out of power do anything more this time? Time will tell. 

If prosecution doesn’t work, then more violent tactics may be resorted to. Read my articles “Prediction: Trump Will Never Be Allowed to Retake the Presidency,” and “The Coming Assassination False Flag,” and “What I See Coming,” for a taste of some of my predictions about America’s near future, Trump, and Biden. It’s not pretty. 

Those who see a path of happiness, peace, sunshine, roses, and rainbows, are deluded. It will be, rather, a path strewn with shell casings, blood, tears, atrocities, and persecution. Are we prepared to do what we must to safeguard our Faith, Families, and Freedom? If not, we are not worthy of them and deserve political overlords to dictate to us. 

Patriots, if you are scared, remember that rebellion to tyrants is the American tradition. You may want to recall that our Founding Fathers didn’t declare Independence from a foreign government, but from their own government. They didn’t fight against foreign invaders, but occupiers who had until July 4, 1776, shared the same political allegiance, capital, currency, language, and ancestry. They fought against their brothers who had turned against them and complied with the whims of tyrants seeking powers. 

Yet, today, people are too afraid to lift a finger against some of the worst liars and despots to ever ride roughshod over a nation. We’re too afraid to purify our government or to nourish the tree of Liberty. You remember what it must be nourished with. If not, then you aren’t sincere or educated enough in this fight to make any difference. You must quickly educate yourself, learn the principles of Liberty, study the U.S. Constitution, immerse yourself in the unique American Freedom philosophy, and engage in the fight for our Faith, Families, and Freedom. 

By Jon McNaughton

We can’t survive many more years of false patriotism and cowardly conservatives trusting in elections and flawed failures like Trump while sitting on their hands and wishing Liberty would descend upon us from Heaven. America can’t afford another “ridiculous insurrection.” Next time, which will likely come after Lexington and Concord 2.0, 1776 2.0 should be the goal. The complete cleansing and purification of our government and the resurrection of the Constitution, perhaps with updated protections on Faith, Families, and Freedom, and provisions against tyranny and treason that are stricter and more actionable, must be the objective. Anything else is a half-measure and will fail. 

No more “ridiculous insurrections,” America. It’s time to get serious. Our Rubicon was crossed ages ago. The die is cast. Now, we must cross our Delaware and strike back. As we wait for this patriotic machinery to move into high speed, deepen your commitment to Christ and learn to rely upon the Holy Spirit for direction. In the end, only He will deliver us from bondage as He delivered our forefathers. In His holy cause, we can’t fail, though we may suffer greatly. Outside of His holy cause, defeat is sure. Choose your side today.

Slaves Rising

Posted on by

When most people hear the name “Joseph Smith,” they either stare in ignorance of this great soul or recoil in rejection of him and his prophetic calling. Whatever you believe is between you and God and only you will account to Him for it. However, I warn you that you will be asked at the judgment bar of our Lord to account for your opinion regarding the Prophet Joseph Smith. 

I testify with the boldest fervor and passion of my soul that he was a prophet, a seer, and a revelator. I witness that he was called by Jesus Christ to restore the Lord’s Church and to reveal His word to men in these final days preceding His glorious Second Coming. Heed these prophecies. They are true. They are from Heaven. Many have been fulfilled already and we are witnessing the fulfillment of others right now. 

Dutch protests

On Christmas day 1832, the Prophet Joseph Smith received an ominous and highly specific revelation regarding the future of America and the world. In the first part of the revelation, the Lord revealed: 

“Verily, thus saith the Lord concerning the wars that will shortly come to pass, beginning at the rebellion of South Carolina, which will eventually terminate in the death and misery of many souls; 

“And the time will come that war will be poured out upon all nations, beginning at this place. 

“For behold, the Southern States shall be divided against the Northern States, and the Southern States will call on other nations, even the nation of Great Britain, as it is called, and they shall also call upon other nations, in order to defend themselves against other nations; and then war shall be poured out upon all nations.” 

Unbelievably, and ironically, many detractors have claimed that Joseph Smith was a false prophet because of this extraordinarily accurate prophecy. “Anyone could have predicted civil war at that time,” they allege. In 1832, it will be recalled, there was a serious contention between South Carolina and President Andrew Jackson’s government wherein South Carolina threatened to secede from the Union and General Jackson in return threatened them with war if they dared. Naturally, being a “false” prophet, as they assume, Joseph Smith would have jumped on the bandwagon to show his prophetic powers and hoodwink more people. 

Yet, there are two problems in this theory. First, the prophecy never gave a date for the civil war. Second, when civil war didn’t break out in 1832, 1833, or even 1834, Joseph Smith didn’t abandon the prophecy and move on to some other outlandish claim. He didn’t destroy the records of his having prophesied civil war in beginning in South Carolina. He didn’t distance himself from the notion in the slightest. Instead, this declaration was later published and promulgated as the divine word of Jehovah. After Joseph Smith was murdered by a mob for his testimony of Jesus Christ, his successor, Brigham Young, continued to teach this prophecy as an inevitability. 

As history would have it, Joseph Smith was right – thirty years in advance. Civil war did break out in South Carolina and war did spread throughout the earth from that point onward. Many forget that Russia, Great Britain, and other nations were involved in the American Civil War. Conniving internationalist interests – especially the London-based banking cartel that Andrew Jackson had heroically driven out of our land – wanted America to collapse. 

Our Civil War, which was fomented by this internationalist clique and by traitors within our own government, was the first modern war ever waged. It set the world on a path of geopolitical alignment that eventually led to the First World War, the Bolshevik coup in Russia, World War II, and so forth. Truly was “war . . . poured out upon all nations” starting with the American Civil War. 

The tsar’s defense of the Union from the British, sadly forgotten by most Americans, was of special importance and was one of several events that made the global Elite decide to turn Russia into their base of operations. This was accomplished in 1917 when the banker-backed Bolsheviks overthrew the Russian government and established the most brutal regime in world history. 

Iranian protests

Could Joseph Smith have known any of this? No. But the Lord knew it just as He knows all things, past, present, and future. He had also told Joseph in an 1831 prophecy: 

“And again, I say unto you that the enemy in the secret chambers seeketh your lives. 

“Ye hear of wars in far countries, and you say that there will soon be great wars in far countries, but ye know not the hearts of men in your own land” (Doctrine and Covenants 38:28-29). 

In the same year, the Lord again forewarned: 

“And even now, let him that goeth to the east teach them that shall be converted to flee to the west, and this in consequence of that which is coming on the earth, and of secret combinations” (Doctrine and Covenants 42:64). 

War not only came to America, but is coming again. It will come because of secret combinations, or, said otherwise, secret conspiracies. The Lord is anxious to warn us about Satan’s schemes of death and destruction and Joseph Smith will yet be vindicated. 

As accurate and amazing as this above part of the 1832 prophecy was regarding the Civil War, the second part is what I want to focus on today. The Lord’s prophecy foretold of our day, stating: 

“And it shall come to pass, after many days, slaves shall rise up against their masters, who shall be marshaled and disciplined for war. 

“And it shall come to pass also that the remnants who are left of the land will marshal themselves, and shall become exceedingly angry, and shall vex the Gentiles with a sore vexation. 

“And thus, with the sword and by bloodshed the inhabitants of the earth shall mourn; and with famine, and plague, and earthquake, and the thunder of heaven, and the fierce and vivid lightning also, shall the inhabitants of the earth be made to feel the wrath, and indignation, and chastening hand of an Almighty God, until the consumption decreed hath made a full fend of all nations.” 

What did we just read? Could it be that the Lord saw our day? Could it be that He told His prophet that humanity would rise up against Satan’s minions in the last days before His return in glory? This is precisely what is happening everywhere you look. 

Brazilian protests

The people of Sri Lanka overthrew their tyrannical government in July after World Economic Forum-inspired environmental insanity shut down their means of earning a living. Truckers and other average citizens in Australia, Canada, the United States, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Brazil, Panama, France, and other nations, have periodically shut down highways and shipping to protest Coronahoax despotism. Train unions in the UK have been striking this year and, in the United States, their comrades narrowly avoided an all-out strike in September with a second deadline coming up in December. 

Farmers in the Netherlands, Poland, Germany, Italy, India, and beyond, have demonstrated and protested harsh governmental measures that steal their livelihoods. Unions and average citizens staged anti-inflation protests that shut down major highways for days where I’m currently located in Panama. Russians temporarily protested Putin’s malicious invasion of Ukraine until the regime began hurling them into prison. 

Hundreds of thousands of furious Brazilians are currently in the streets day after day rioting against the stolen presidential election this past month and are demanding the military step in to thwart the theft. Americans, who have also been victims of stolen elections, are only mildly protesting, yet there are some. Iranians are currently protesting the Russian-trained Ayatollah and are being gunned down in the streets. And, finally, of other examples that could be mentioned, the most recent rioting has struck in Red China where the communist regime has enslaved the population and tightened the screws citing the Coronahoax. 

The China riots are the largest in that communist dominion since those that culminated in the Tiananmen Square massacre of up to 10,000 unarmed Chinese protestors in 1989. With Western foreknowledge and aid, the communist Chinese unleashed the Coronahoax to shut down the globe and shift the balance of power to the Sino-Soviet Bloc. The regime’s brutal abuse of its hapless subjects – soldering them into houses for prolonged quarantines with no food, barking orders at them via drones, surveilling everything that moves, restricting them with a totalitarian social credit system – is beginning to backfire.  

The slaves are rising up against their Marxist masters worldwide. They haven’t been overly successful yet, but the rage is growing, the resistance is rising, and the terrible judgments the Lord decreed for this turbulent age – famine, plagues, earthquakes, and bloodshed – are beginning to flow. Nothing will stop this clash between Satan’s legions of tyrannical nation destroyers and God’s Freedom fighters. 

What comes next is a cataclysm beyond anything humanity has ever seen. World war, global famine, economic collapse, global oppression, mobocracy, societal breakdown, and the Battle of Armageddon lie in our immediate future. So does the return of the Messiah and the deliverance of the faithful! It truly is an amazing time to be alive. 

As slaves rise up against their masters who are marshaled for war, and as the nations go to war to further Lucifer’s agenda, we must remember whose side we’re on. If we stand on the Lord’s side, we have nothing to fear in an eternal sense. In a temporal sense, we will also fare better than the wicked and those who fail to walk in the Lord’s paths. The Lord’s promises are sure and He is faithful to fulfill His word. To Joseph Smith, He promised that His judgements would be poured out to chasten the unrighteous and to save the righteous: 

“That the cry of the saints, and of the blood of the saints, shall cease to come up into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth, from the earth, to be avenged of their enemies. 

“Wherefore, stand ye in holy places, and be not moved, until the day of the Lord come; for behold, it cometh quickly, saith the Lord. Amen.” 

Dutch farmers protesting

Everything is happening fast. The enemy is unmasked and is rushing to secure its illicit gains. It is erecting a one-world Bolshevik police state. Using fake pandemics, climate hysteria, and other concocted crises, it is fatiguing us into compliance with our own enslavement. Yet, the Lord’s decrees will prevail. His Kingdom will come. Even now, millions are waking up. Truth is being revealed. Slaves are rising. Will you rise, too?

When is the Time to Rise?

Posted on by

“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 

No normal person wants a civil war. No normal person wants to see bloodshed. No normal person wants his country to be ripped apart. However, there comes a time when sitting on your hands crosses the line from common cowardice to criminal complicity. 

If the American People do not rise up in righteous fury against the criminal cult that has hijacked our nation and is enveloping us in Satanic tyranny and soul-shattering perversion, then we are shamefully complicit in our own destruction and in the evisceration of our children’s future. Quite frankly, if we sit by as an international clique of Bolshevik gangsters ruthlessly rapes our Republic, we deserve every chain of bondage that will be tightened on our wrists and every divine judgement that will be poured out upon us. 

If you think any of this sounds extreme, you haven’t been paying attention and probably shouldn’t be voting, let alone making any other important decisions in society. Consider the past 100 years. What greatness have we achieved as a People? What good has our elected representatives done for us? What wealth has been generated for the nation? Which Liberties have been safeguarded and strengthened? 

The past century has been the epitome of “a long train of abuses” pursuing a course “to reduce [us] under absolute Despotism.” An extremely short list of the horrors committed against our People by our so-called “public servants” follows: 

  • The Federal Reserve has made the U.S. dollar increasingly worthless, eating up 97% of its purchasing power since it was foisted upon the nation in 1913 by the international bankers and with the approval of Fabian Socialist Woodrow Wilson 
  • FDR began the process of removing America from the gold standard in 1933 and was mimicked in 1971 by “I-am-not-a-crook” President Nixon 
  • FDR banned production of America’s greatest cash crop and miracle plant, hemp 
  • FDR and his literal Soviet advisors intentionally pushed Japan to bankruptcy and war and then stood down our defenses as 2,000 Americans were killed at Pearl Harbor in retaliation, all so that we could join the broader war and stop Germany from destroying communism in Europe 
  • The national debt has ballooned from $2.9 billion in 1913 to the mind-boggling sum off $30.5 trillion in 2022 
  • Prayer was removed from public schools after the Jewish lobby induced the Supreme Court to heed the complaints of one Jewish father who hated the idea of his son hearing a highly non-denominational prayer at school 
  • Over 70 million babies have been butchered under the guise of “abortion” (more than the total number of people who died during World War II) since a panel of nine unelected, activist judges decided to throw out The Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights in Roe v. Wade in 1973 
  • Under pressure of the Soviet Union and Soviet agents among us, California led the way (under the leadership of Ronald Reagan, of all people) in introducing America to the scourge of no-fault divorce and broken homes 
  • Republican and Democrat administrations have allowed 30-40 million (if you believe the 11-million figure that has supposedly remained unchanged for over twenty years, I’ve got a bridge to sell you) illegal invaders to cross our borders, bringing drugs, criminality, racial division, disease, and other ailments into our communities 
  • The government has run a fake War on Drugs while doing nothing to actually thwart the horrid scourge of drugs on our streets that weakens our nation and destroys the souls of men 
  • On September 11, 2001, traitorous figures in numerous governments, intelligence agencies, corporations, and media organs around the world, combined resources to stand down the U.S. military, commandeer planes, rig buildings with explosives and thermate, murder 3,000 people, commit massive financial theft and insider trading before and simultaneous with the attacks, and run an ongoing coverup that any intelligent person who takes the time to study the facts can plainly see through 
  • Using 9-11 as a pretext, as FDR did with Pearl Harbor, the Elite beat the war drums and used the American military like pathetic pawns to attack, invade, or occupy Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, and beyond 
  • During Coronahoax, the governments federal and state violated their express mandates and curtailed the Liberties of the People, including the right to worship, the right to assemble, the right to travel, and the right to work 
  • During the Scamdemic, many Americans were effectively raped by the government which forced them to wear oxygen-inhibiting masks stating on the label that they don’t work to fight caronaviruses, and were penetrated by experimental vaccines (i.e. instruments of genocide) which have already claimed the lives of tens of thousands and maimed many more 
  • In the aftermath of dozens of fishy false-flag shootings, including the stand-down debacle at Uvalde, oath-breakers in government have voiced their despotic desires to strip law-abiding citizens of their God-given right of self-defense explicitly protected in the Constitution 
  • An international cartel, operating both domestically with Marxist mules and digitally out of China and other hostile countries, teamed up to steal the presidential election in 2020 and overturn the will of the American People, installing a doddering puppet “president” who has led us to the brink of nuclear war and economic ruin in just over a year 
  • Mass pedophilia and Satanic Ritual Abuse run by the ruling Elite, CIA, CPS, et al. 
  • Mass brainwashing and conditioning orchestrated to bring about the demoralization, and ultimate destruction of the United States of America 

Ladies and gentlemen, dear readers and friends, this is the short version of the long train of abuses pointedly perpetrated against us by Establishment Republicans and Democrats, the Federal Reserve, big bankers, Bolshevik bureaucrats, progressives and liberals, socialists and communists, humanist agents in public schools, powerful global groups like the Committee of 300, Club Bilderberg, the World Economic Forum, and Blackwater, occult organizations like The Satanic Temple and Theosophical Society, Big Pharma, global corporations, and others who have combined in an international network of terror, death, and slavery. 

Nothing above is hyperbolic, exaggerated, or conspiratorial. There is no conspiracy theory here; it is conspiracy fact, history, and truth. Write to me if you want additional evidence for any claim I have made. 

Fellow patriot, we are at war. You can pretend the war doesn’t exist and doesn’t impact you or your family, but it does. Denying reality does not make it otherwise. Burying your head in the sand does not change reality. 

The evil has become so brazen, so vicious, and so vocal, that I fear for those who still can’t see it. Discernment is a gift, but it is also a skill that can be honed by practice and experience. Samuel Adams is said to have written the following warning to James Warren on October 24, 1780: 

“If ever the Time should come, when vain & aspiring Men shall possess the highest Seats in Government, our Country will stand in Need of its experienced Patriots to prevent its Ruin.” 

How can we claim to be “experienced Patriots,” or expect to be effective in our resistance to tyranny, if we are blind to the machinations of the wolves in sheep’s clothing among us? If we can’t identify the enemy, how can we possibly stop him? If we can’t even acknowledge that we are at war, how can we ever muster the will power, nerve, and resilience to achieve victory? 

I repeat what I said at the beginning: No upright man or woman wants civil war. However, there are things infinitely more precious than peace and union. Faith, Families, Freedom – these are more important. Preserving our right to worship God, shielding our children from moral corruption, and jealously guarding our natural rights – these are more valuable. 

Today, our burden is not merely to maintain our rights; we must regain them. We have lost many of our rights or, at least, have had them restricted by regulations and bureaucratic policies. From obscene hate speech laws that curtail the First Amendment to gun regulations that infringe upon the Second Amendment to EPA regulations that hamper property rights to TSA policies that restrict Freedom of movement, we are not as free as our ancestors. I repeat: We are not as free as our ancestors. 

When we acknowledge that we are not as free, prosperous, or just as our forebears were, and when you admit that we are at war against a ruthless clique of gangsters who have hijacked our society and crave our subjugation, the only real question becomes: “When is the time to rise?” 

When will we stand up as freemen and reclaim our heritage of Liberty and self-rule? When will we invoke our right and duty, as recorded in The Declaration of Independence, “to throw off” our despotic government and “provide new Guards for [our] future security.” 

Do not misunderstand, I don’t support a coup against the government or overthrowing the Constitution. Quite to the contrary; the Constitution is the only government I will ever submit to. Rather, I suggest reasserting our rights as protected under the Constitution by throwing out of office and prosecuting all those, at any level, who would dare usurp power, abuse the public, break their oaths, lie to the public, or tyrannize America. 

Ideally, we should “throw the bums out” on election day. What happens, however, when the ballot box is taken away from us, elections are stolen, and non-elected jackals are installed as our overlords? Should we sit down, shut up, and comply? No! Would George Washington, Patrick Henry, or Samuel Adams submit to such abuse? No! 

Our forefathers did not grovel before the Red Coats; they shot them. They stood up to them even when outnumbered at Lexington and Concord. They dumped their filthy tea into the ocean in protest. They drove out, even tar and feathering, bureaucrats who enforced despotic edicts. They used the power of juries to overturn unjust laws. They resisted tyranny when it tried to enslave them, ultimately declaring Independence and establishing the greatest and freest nation in world history through sacrifice, blood, and tears. 

Will we follow our ancestors’ example or will we sentence our children to wear chains of crushing slavery? History, and God, will judge us for what we do now at this critical time. At a similarly decisive time in our nation’s history, General George Washington challenged his soldiers in these words: 

“The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their houses and farms are to be pillaged and destroyed, and themselves consigned to a state of wretchedness from which no human efforts will deliver them. The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die.” 

We have no choice; we must conquer or die! I ask again: When will we rise? If not now, when? When we have been further enslaved, economically depressed, demoralized, and polarized? When the situation has become worse? When the tyrants are more entrenched? 

I have not shouldered a weapon in rebellion or marched physically into the fray because I don’t believe there are yet enough people willing to do so. And without enough patriots willing to risk their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to overthrow the traitors who have usurped our government and perverted our institutions, there’s no point in making yourself a martyr. I have, therefore, devoted myself to educating my fellow freemen. The real revolution that must occur must be in the hearts and minds of the People. When enough men and women have experienced a revolution in principles and spirit, then will be the time to rise and throw off our shackles. 

Rise up, freeman! Now is the time to reform yourself, draw closer to God, and proclaim allegiance to the holy principles of Liberty. Now is the time to draw your line in the sand. Now is the time to prepare for the coming day when tyranny knocks on your door and forces you to decide whether you will be a slave or whether you will be free. I have chosen my side and have thrown my lot in with the stalwart Sons of Liberty who won Freedom for America. Will you join us? 

“Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace– but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” – Patrick Henry, “Give Me Liberty of Give Me Death,” March 23, 1775

Rebellion to Tyrants – The American Tradition

Posted on by

During the War for Independence, the British oppressors called the American patriots “rebels.” George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Samuel Adams, James Madison, Patrick Henry, Benjamin Franklin – these eminent men were “rebels.” Just what does “rebel” mean? The handy website etymonline.com tells us that the term “rebel” comes “directly from Latin rebellis “insurgent, rebellious,” from rebellare “to rebel, revolt,” from re– “opposite, against,” or perhaps “again” (see re-) + bellare “wage war,” from bellum “war”.” 

A U.S. battle flag during the War for Independence

Drawing from Webster’s 1828 dictionary, we further learn that a “rebel” is:  

“One who revolts from the government to which he owes allegiance, either by openly renouncing the authority of that government, or by taking arms and openly opposing it.” 

And the act of rebelling means: 

“To revolt; to renounce the authority of the laws and government to which one owes allegiance. Subjects may rebel by an open renunciation of the authority of the government, without taking arms; but ordinarily, rebellion is accompanied by resistance in arms.” 

To rebel, then, is to make war against one’s own government or to renounce its authority. Usually, a rebellion requires the “rebels” to take up arms and extricate themselves from their government by force. Using these definitions, our Founding Fathers absolutely were “rebels” because they took up their rifles and made war against British tyranny. In so doing, these patriots won Liberty for America and helped establish the greatest nation in human history. 

Would any true American be so foolish as to suggest that the American Founding Fathers were villains for taking up arms and freeing our People from British oppression? Would any dyed-in-the-wool American be so treasonous as to say that the American Rebellion was wrong, that it was evil, or that it was not clearly justified beyond any reasonable doubt? 

There has never been a more just and holier war than the American Revolution – that great armed rebellion we celebrate every Independence Day. Don’t shy away from the term “rebellion.” It was a rebellion. Society has become indoctrinated to think of any act of rebellion as bad, wrong, or unjustified. We’ve been conditioned to see everyone labeled an “insurgent” or “rebel” as unpatriotic or a traitor. This is simply preposterous. 

The biggest rebels in U.S. history are also our biggest national heroes – the Founding Fathers, the Sons of Liberty, and their fellow Freedom Fighters. But they’d be a mere footnote in history had they not rebelled. If Thomas Jefferson hadn’t written the Declaration of Independence, would you even know he had existed? If George Washington hadn’t led a rag-tag team of militiamen and soldiers against his government’s professional army, would he be a household name today? Let’s be honest – the only reason our Founding Fathers are known, beloved, and venerated today is because they had the courage to rebel against their oppressive, corrupt, unworthy government. 

Thomas Jefferson’s personal seal

The personal motto of both Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, was “Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God.” Thomas Jefferson designed a striking seal to display this powerful phrase. The duo even proposed that the maxim become the national motto. Separate and apart from Franklin and Jefferson, “Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God” was a common thought at the time. Pastors taught that it was man’s duty to defend his God-given rights even if it meant taking up arms. Local militias stood up against the military when the latter came to town demanding: “Lay down your arms, you damned rebels, and disperse.” Americans high and low understood that servitude is Satanic and Liberty is godly. 

Armed with this knowledge and with a sense of duty towards their Faith, Families, and Freedom, thousands of patriots felt no qualms about taking up arms and rebelling. Sometimes we seem to imagine that these early Americans had their own country and were simply defending themselves against the British. Instead, we should remember that the King of England and British Parliament were the government. Knowing this makes our forefathers’ rebellion all the more impressive and consequential. It gave us the example that rebellion against government is not only allowed, but noble and right in the correct circumstances. 

The Declaration of Independence makes this abundantly clear. In words that should echo in our ears, Jefferson wrote and the Continental Congress ratified: 

“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.” 

Read that again if you must, but let it sink in. Rebellion for rebellion’s sake is not advisable or desirable. However, when government perpetrates “a long train of abuses and usurpations,” and when government’s course is one of tyranny and centralization of power, it is not only just and good to rebel, but it is a solemn “duty” to “throw off such Government.” To reiterate, “it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish” their government whenever government fails to protect the rights of the People. 

The current oath of office sworn by members of Congress reads: 

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.” 

This oath has been amended slightly over the years, but what has changed but little is the first crucial line: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States.” The president swears the same. This is the key! If we want to know whether our elected representatives are faithful or whether they are traitors, we need simply observe and consider whether they support and defend the Constitution. If they do, then rebellion is off the table, inappropriate, and destructive. If they don’t uphold and obey the Constitution, and the normal recourse of elections and trials can’t remedy the situation, then rebellion is not only justified, but a sacred duty! 

Thomas Jefferson often wrote of the necessity of rebellion: 

“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. Unsuccesful rebellions indeed generally establish the incroachments on the rights of the people which have produced them. An observation of this truth should render honest republican governors so mild in their punishment of rebellions, as not to discourage them too much. It is a medecine necessary for the sound health of government” (Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, January 30, 1787). 

More famously, after Shay’s Rebellion, Jefferson exclaimed: 

“God forbid we should ever be 20. years without such a rebellion. The people can not be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. We have had 13. states independant 11. years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century and a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure” (Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, November 13, 1787). 

Compare these enlightened sentiments with those of the current regime and media talking heads who refer to the American patriots who rallied at the Capitol Building on January 6 as “domestic terrorists” and “insurrectionists.” They were nothing of the sort and to say so is dishonest, divisive, and deeply asinine. 

Let me express a feeling I had on January 6. When I saw the minor breach at the Capitol (allowed and encouraged by police in order to frame conservative America) on January 6, I was ecstatic. I thought, maybe, just maybe, the American People were waking up and were finally prepared to stand up for their rights. Instead, it turned out, that the People were content to wave flags and talk the talk, but not actually walk to the walk and force their tyrannical overlords in Washington to fulfill their oaths to the Constitution. 

So many otherwise decent people on our side almost boast that we aren’t the ones who rebel. My question is – why not? Why no revolution? Why no rebellion? Have we lost our courage? Have we lost our sense? Have we lost the spirit of Liberty that animated our forefathers to rebel against their corrupt government? The crimes committed by our government today and over the past hundred plus years dwarf in scale and savagery anything committed by the British against early Americans. The comparison isn’t even close. Yet, we’re too afraid to do our duty and alter or abolish the usurpers who tyrannize us. We’re afraid to be revolutionary. 

Many people think, contrary to what their forefathers believed in 1776, that rebellion is “unbecoming” and that we owe blind obedience to government no matter what. Christians twist Romans 13, for instance, to support the unsupportable idea that all governments get their authority from God and that every act of government is legitimate. Many people of my own faith also misquote a canonical statement saying that “sedition and rebellion are unbecoming every citizen.” If they were honest, they’d read the entire context and find that the statement falls in line with the spirit of the Declaration of Independence. It notes: 

“We believe that all men are bound to sustain and uphold the respective governments in which they reside, while protected in their inherent and inalienable rights by the laws of such governments; and that sedition and rebellion are unbecoming every citizen thus protected, and should be punished accordingly; and that all governments have a right to enact such laws as in their own judgments are best calculated to secure the public interest; at the same time, however, holding sacred the freedom of conscience” (The Doctrine and Covenants 134:5). 

Did you catch that? My Church believes, and so do I, that rebellion is wrong in times when everyone enjoys their rights and has proper recourse under the law. However, when “inherent and inalienable rights” are not protected, all bets are off. Only those duly protected by law are prohibited from rebelling; and those not “thus protected” actually have a duty to rebel. 

In his momentous Farewell Address, President George Washington stated: 

“This government, the offspring of our own choice, uninfluenced and unawed, adopted upon full investigation and mature deliberation, completely free in its principles, in the distribution of its powers, uniting security with energy, and containing within itself a provision for its own amendment, has a just claim to your confidence and your support. Respect for its authority, compliance with its laws, acquiescence in its measures, are duties enjoined by the fundamental maxims of true liberty. The basis of our political systems is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitutions of government. But the Constitution which at any time exists, till changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole people, is sacredly obligatory upon all. The very idea of the power and the right of the people to establish government presupposes the duty of every individual to obey the established government.” 

Recall that this comes from the man who led the Rebellion against his government in 1776! General Washington knew full well that rebellion was proper and just on certain occasions. On July 2, 1776, this great man who was a defender of duly-constituted government and rule of law, issued this order to his troops: 

“The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army—Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; this is all we can expect—We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die: Our own Country’s Honor, all call upon us for a vigorous and manly exertion, and if we now shamefully fail, we shall become infamous to the whole world—Let us therefore rely upon the goodness of the Cause, and the aid of the supreme Being, in whose hands Victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble Actions—The Eyes of all our Countrymen are now upon us, and we shall have their blessings, and praises, if happily we are the instruments of saving them from the Tyranny meditated against them. Let us therefore animate and encourage each other, and shew the whole world, that a Freeman contending for Liberty on his own ground is superior to any slavish mercenary on earth.” 

To General Washington, there was “no choice” but to rebel against the tyrannical government and carve out Freedom by force. No one fought harder for Liberty than Washington. No one was a bigger “rebel” than the Father of our Country. 

Ultimately, the sunshine patriots aren’t the ones who will decide the matter. Rather, it will be the seasoned soldiers of sanity who will step forward to secure their sacred rights. Samuel Adams warned: “If ever the Time should come, when vain & aspiring Men shall possess the highest Seats in Government, our Country will stand in Need of its experienced Patriots to prevent its Ruin” (Samuel Adams to James Warren, October 24, 1780). 

Are you one of those “experienced patriots” who will step forward? If you’re not prepared to step forward and be counted at this crucial juncture, stop calling yourself a patriot. If you’re not prepared to act – to rebel if need be – you’re not a patriot; you’re a coward and a traitor. If you’re too scared to rebel in any way necessary against one of the most wicked cabals ever to oppress a free nation, then Samuel Adams was speaking directly to you when he exclaimed: 

“Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say, What should be the reward of such sacrifices? Bid us and our posterity bow the knee, supplicate the friendship, and plow, and sow, and reap, to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the dogs of war to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth? If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom—go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!” (Samuel Adams, Speech, August 1, 1776). 

In 1776, our forefathers declared Independence and rebelled against their vile government. They fought for Freedom. They secured it at the price of blood and treasure. They then wisely safeguarded it by establishing the rule of law via a written Constitution. 

Today, we don’t need Independence; we have it on paper, legally, and by right. What we don’t have is a government that honors its commitments, fulfills its oaths, and protects our legitimate, God-given agency. Instead, we have a criminal clique that has hijacked our government and retains its illicit power through mass media manipulation and outright election fraud. They are the occupiers. They are the usurpers. They are the ones who owe allegiance to us. This clique has ruled for decades from the shadows, but now it openly flaunts its lordship over us and dares us to do something about it. 

No, we don’t need Independence from these banker-backed, Marxist-minded, internationalist occupiers; what we need is to oust them from power over us. When a robber breaks into your house, you don’t concede defeat and leave to find a new place to live. Instead, you fight back and reclaim what’s yours. Dear American, what’s yours? What is your birthright? Is Freedom your heritage? Isn’t a republican, representative government of limited scale promised to you in Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution? 

Earlier, you read the oath that our elected representatives in Congress swear. Are they fulfilling that oath? Are they safeguarding the Constitution like they swore to do? Of course not! They’re perpetual liars who trample the Constitution at every turn. And this goes for Republicans as well Democrats. From Mitt Romney to Nancy Pelosi and from Chuck Schumer to Mitch McConnell, the Congress is infested with traitors and oath-breakers, conmen and enemy abettors. 

The Constitution is not defunct or broken; the men who conduct our national affairs are corrupt and treasonous. As one colorful figure of the nineteenth century stated: “I love the government and the constitution of the United States, but I do not love the damned rascals who administer the government.” Again, I repeat, that our constitutional system is not at fault – the fault lies with the men who break their oaths and the apathetic citizenry which allows them to get away with it. 

What we need is to revive the Constitution. We need a Constitution Revolution. We need a rebellion against the tyrants who have usurped power over us. We need invoke our natural rights and wage war against traitors in the spirit of 1776. The traitors are easy to identify. Look at who promotes free will and constitutional protections on individual Liberty and who proposes policies that restrict free will and suggest coercion and you’ll know which side to stand on. 

I call for a Constitution Revolution. We need a revolution in our minds and hearts. We need to revolutionize our understanding of the Constitution. Founding Father James Wilson said: 

“Were I called upon for my reasons why I deem so highly of the American character, I would assign them in a very few words—That character has been eminently distinguished by the love of liberty, and the love of law. . . . 

“But law and liberty cannot rationally become the objects of our love, unless they first become the objects of our knowledge. The same course of study, properly directed, will lead us to the knowledge of both. Indeed, neither of them can be known, because neither of them can exist, without the other. Without liberty, law loses its nature and its name, and becomes oppression. Without law, liberty also loses its nature and its name, and becomes licentiousness. In denominating, therefore, that science, by which the knowledge of both is acquired, it is unnecessary to preserve, in terms, the distinction between them. That science may be named, as it has been named, the science of law. 

“The science of law should, in some measure, and in some degree, be the study of every free citizen, and of every free man. Every free citizen and every free man has duties to perform and rights to claim. Unless, in some measure, and in some degree, he knows those duties and those rights, he can never act a just and an independent part.” 

To restate Wilson’s words, you can’t be an effective patriot if you don’t know our nation’s charter of Liberty – the Constitution. You cannot love what you do not comprehend. That goes for God, the law, a spouse, ad infinitum. We need a revolution in our understanding of the Constitution and of the law of Liberty. Unless we first acquire this fundamental understanding, any other type of revolution will fail. 

After we come to understand the Constitution, we’ll know how we’ve been deceived, tricked, and abused. We’ll comprehend how our elected representatives broke their oaths and sold out our Freedom for thirty pieces of silver. And we’ll realize the wisdom in Jefferson’s words: 

“[W]hen 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.” 

As Constitution Day dawns, I call for revolution and rebellion – a revolution in our principles and understanding of our national documents and a relentless rebellion against the tyrants who have illicitly usurped power over us. Resist peacefully, if you must; but resist. Freedom is never granted or given – it is won at the price of self-sacrifice, blood, treasure, tears, and toil. Are we prepared to do what must be done? Are we prepared to fight for the Constitution? Are we prepared to live the American tradition and rebel against tyrants? 

George Washington said that “the constitution is the guide, which I never will abandon” (George Washington the Boston Selectmen, July 28, 1795). I second his pledge. I echo the voices of those fifty-six good men who signed their names to the Declaration of Independence, those who fought against their countrymen for Liberty, and those who crafted the Constitution. They won Freedom and it’s our task to restore it by reviving the Constitution and making it our gold standard once more. 

Yes, I side with the “rebels”! The rebels were on the right side of history in 1776. Rebellion to tyrants is always right. Nothing is more American than “Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God.” I’m prepared to renounce peace and make war against anyone and anything I need to – including my government which has been hijacked by criminals – in defense of my Faith, Family, and Freedom. What could be a nobler cause to rebel over than Freedom?

2020 is Why We Have the Electoral College

Posted on by

The utterly fraudulent 2020 general election is the reason the Founding Fathers created the Electoral College. The Electoral College was intended to be the ultimate check on the ignorance of the voting public, on the best efforts of tyrants to trick and swindle the American People, and on deliberate intrigue or conspiracy. If ever there was a time that this check needed to be employed to prevent the leadership of the Republic from falling into the wrong hands, it is now.

Before I begin my analysis, a few facts: 1) Joe Biden is not the president-elect; 2) the ballots have not all been counted; 3) multiple recounts are underway; 4) numerous lawsuits are in the courts; 5) there are verifiable instances of election tampering and fraud that are being investigated and adjudicated; 6) the Electoral College, which usually has the ratifying say in who becomes president, has not convened and voted yet and will not do so until December 14; and, 7) the Constitution provides additional methods, which may be invoked through a specific process, whereby Congress may select the president regardless of popular vote or the results of the Electoral College. The takeaway from these facts is this: The 2020 election is not over and anyone who says so is either mistaken or lying to promote an agenda.

The Founding Fathers were justifiably concerned about giving the People the ability to directly choose their leaders because they correctly understood that the average person is not particularly qualified to make such an important decision. They were students of history and knew that democracies have always imploded. James Madison, for instance, said that “democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths” (James Madison, Federalist No. 10). The Founders knew that when the People are given too much say in the routine affairs of government, without proper checks and limitations, they become mobocratic and eventually divide into factions and tear themselves apart.

The Founding Fathers were more worried about factions dividing the nation than perhaps any other thing. Again, they were keen students of history and knew that there has never been an instance of a democracy not destroying itself through division and internal strife. America was therefore never intended to be a democracy where 51% of the population could dominate the 49%. Rather, we were created as a Republic based on rule of law, written constitutions, and carefully divided powers.

Self-rule is a sacred principle in our nation. Yet, the American conception of self-rule is very different than it is in the few other nations that have tried it. Our version of self-government is designed to maximize the individual’s control over his life on the local level – that level which touches the vast majority of a person’s affairs. The federal government, however, was intended to be the purview of statesmen who were specialized and best suited for the purpose of administering nation-wide programs and foreign policy – those aspects of life not particularly familiar to the average citizen. These national representatives would still be public servants, but were expected to be more highly qualified men who stood out from their peers in terms of virtue, patriotism, and wisdom.

For clarification, in our constitutional republic, the People act through representatives. We directly control our own local affairs in everyday matters, but from there our political power extends outward to representatives in our communities, then counties, then states, and, finally, the federal government. This bottom-up flow of power is further filtered through a host of mechanisms to restrain and divide it. Perhaps no mechanism exemplifies this division of powers and careful checks on raw democratic expression than the Electoral College.

Founding Father Elbridge Gerry summed up his colleagues’ opinion on leaving the appointment of the president in the hands of the People:

“A popular election in this case is radically vicious. The ignorance of the people would put it in the power of some one set of men dispersed through the Union, and acting in concert, to delude them into any appointment” (W. Cleon Skousen, The Making of America: The Substance and Meaning of the Constitution, 524).

If the People are too liable to be deceived and divided by conniving conspirators, the popular vote is therefore out of the question. How then did our Founding Fathers establish the selection of the president if not by direct popular vote? Of course, they set up the Electoral College system. What is this system and how does it function?

In Arthur J. Stansbury’s once popular text Elementary Catechism on the Constitution of the United States, we find a Q & A format for learning about our nation’s founding document. After learning that the constitutional scheme of divided powers “is the great safeguard of freedom,” we find this exchange describing the process of electing a president:

“Q. How does any man become President of the United States?

A. He is elected [chosen] by the people of the United States.

Q. How is this done; do the people themselves at once choose the President?

A. No; this might lead to great confusion. But the people choose the Legislatures of the different States, these Legislatures appoint electors, and those electors choose the President.

Q. Explain this more particularly.

A. You know what is meant by the Legislatures of the States; they consist of persons chosen in each State to make the State laws. These persons, when met together, appoint, in any way they think proper, a number of persons who are called Electors, because they afterwards choose the President.

Q. How many of these Electors of President are appointed in each State?

A. As many as the state has members in both Houses of Congress. For instance; a state which is entitled to two Senators and eight members of the House of Representatives must appoint ten electors of President; a state which has two Senators and twenty members of the House of Representatives, must appoint twenty-two electors.

Q. May any person they please be appointed an elector?

A. Not every person may; Senators of the United States, members of the House of Representatives, and all persons who hold any office of trust or profit under the United States, are incapable of being electors of the President.

Q. Why?

A. For fear any President of the United States might use improper means to get himself chosen again when his time of service should expire. The President has frequent opportunities to see the members of Congress and persuade them; and as he himself has the appointment of most persons who hold offices, he might threaten to remove, or promise to keep them in their places, and thus destroy their freedom of election.

Q. How do these electors proceed?

A. The electors appointed by each state meet in the states that appointed them, and vote by ballot for the President, and for another officer called the Vice President of the United States. The electors all meet on one and the same day in their several states; the day is fixed by Congress.

Q. What do you mean by voting by ballot?

A. When it is wished to conceal the manner in which each particular person voted, and yet to know what is the opinion of the greater number of voters, the voters instead of speaking their minds, put each a piece of folded paper into a box; these papers are called ballots, and when all have voted, these ballots are examined and counted. . . .

Q. What does the President of the Senate do with these lists [of ballots]?

A. He opens them in the presence of the Senate and the House of Representatives, who are all met in one hall to be present when the votes are counted. Each House appoints some of its own members who unite in a committee and count all the votes; when the person having the greatest number of votes for President is declared to be the President” (Arthur J. Stansbury, Elementary Catechism on the Constitution of the United States: For the Use of Schools, 44-47).

That is how the Electoral College works. It’s actually somewhat simple. And it has worked for over two centuries. Alexander Hamilton noted that the Electoral College system was one of the most unanimously supported parts of the entire U.S. Constitution:

“The mode of appointment of the Chief Magistrate of the United States is almost the only part of the system, of any consequence, which has escaped without severe censure, or which has received the slightest mark of approbation from its opponents” (Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 68).

The Electoral College has been greatly bastardized, as we will discuss below. However, now that we know how the Electoral College was originally designed to work, let’s address how this system remedies the dangers mentioned above by Elbridge Gerry. Let’s again consult Alexander Hamilton to see why the Electoral College was so heartily approved by our wise Founding Fathers. Notice the motivation behind the creation of this peculiar mechanism:

“It was equally desirable, that the immediate election should be made by men most capable of analyzing the qualities adapted to the station, and acting under circumstances favorable to deliberation, and to a judicious combination of all the reasons and inducements which were proper to govern their choice. A small number of persons, selected by their fellow-citizens from the general mass, will be most likely to possess the information and discernment requisite to such complicated investigations.

“It was also peculiarly desirable to afford as little opportunity as possible to tumult and disorder. This evil was not least to be dreaded in the election of a magistrate, who was to have so important an agency in the administration of the government as the President of the United States. But the precautions which have been so happily concerted in the system under consideration, promise an effectual security against this mischief. The choice of SEVERAL, to form an intermediate body of electors, will be much less apt to convulse the community with any extraordinary or violent movements, than the choice of ONE who was himself to be the final object of the public wishes. And as the electors, chosen in each State, are to assemble and vote in the State in which they are chosen, this detached and divided situation will expose them much less to heats and ferments, which might be communicated from them to the people, than if they were all to be convened at one time, in one place.

“Nothing was more to be desired than that every practicable obstacle should be opposed to cabal, intrigue, and corruption. These most deadly adversaries of republican government might naturally have been expected to make their approaches from more than one querter, but chiefly from the desire in foreign powers to gain an improper ascendant in our councils. How could they better gratify this, than by raising a creature of their own to the chief magistracy of the Union? But the convention have guarded against all danger of this sort, with the most provident and judicious attention. They have not made the appointment of the President to depend on any preexisting bodies of men, who might be tampered with beforehand to prostitute their votes; but they have referred it in the first instance to an immediate act of the people of America, to be exerted in the choice of persons for the temporary and sole purpose of making the appointment. And they have excluded from eligibility to this trust, all those who from situation might be suspected of too great devotion to the President in office. No senator, representative, or other person holding a place of trust or profit under the United States, can be of the numbers of the electors. Thus without corrupting the body of the people, the immediate agents in the election will at least enter upon the task free from any sinister bias. Their transient existence, and their detached situation, already taken notice of, afford a satisfactory prospect of their continuing so, to the conclusion of it. The business of corruption, when it is to embrace so considerable a number of men, requires time as well as means. Nor would it be found easy suddenly to embark them, dispersed as they would be over thirteen States, in any combinations founded upon motives, which though they could not properly be denominated corrupt, might yet be of a nature to mislead them from their duty” (Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 68).

What were the reasons the Constitutional Convention created the Electoral College according to Alexander Hamilton? First, this function was established in order that a small group of people who “possess the information and discernment” might select the highest officer in the land. Second, taking the burden of choice away from the great mass of people and endowing a small number of rotating electors with the duty to select the best man for the job was intended as a check on democratic passions. Choosing the president on the state level, rather on the national, was intended to prevent “tumult and disorder” and “violent moments” that might lead to civil war.

Thirdly, the Electoral College was set up to guard against “the desire in foreign powers to gain an improper ascendant in our councils” and to thwart the machinations of “cabal, intrigue, and corruption.” It was believed that this body of electors, chosen just prior to the selecting of the president and comprised of different people every election, could not be sufficiently influenced by the bribery or intimidation of a conspiracy. Spread out as they were across a large country and selected locally instead of by a single national body, these electors could also not coordinate their efforts to vote in a bloc for a predetermined candidate. Rather, their “immediate act” would be stripped of the time and coordination needed for a conspiracy to form among them, thus ensuring, theoretically, that the electors could remain “detached” from the bias of party, faction, or intrigue, and instead put their country first.

And this is the crux of the matter – the Electoral College was never meant to be bound to the popular vote, but instead was left free to select the best candidate for the presidency. Because of its undemocratic nature, communists, socialists, and liberals of all types – those who promote “democracy” as essential to their ploys – have targeted the Electoral College for destruction. They’ve launched a massive effort to abolish the Electoral College altogether, which would pave the way for them to capture a total monopoly of power because it is they who rule in the high population centers like California and New York which would determine the officers of state in a popular vote.

One of the dirty tricks designed to void the efficacy of Electoral College is for states to “legally” (albeit unconstitutionally) bind electors to the popular vote in their state. For instance, under this conception, if the majority of Californians voted for Joe Biden, then the Californian electors would be compelled to cast their votes for Biden regardless of their personal wishes, their desires for the success and well-being of their nation, or any conscientious objections they may have. This backdoor way of gutting the Electoral College is known as the Uniform Faithful Presidential Electors Act (UFPEA). It has been adopted by nearly half the states in the Union.

Earlier this year, the Supreme Court gave its opinion that the states may indeed bind their electors and punish those who exercise their lawful agency to vote their conscience. Unbelievably, most “conservatives” supported and cheered the Supreme Court’s opinion, grossly misunderstanding the way in which it could be used to undermine the current electoral system. In a lengthy article I penned on the issue, I wrote:

“What exactly does the Constitution say about the Electoral College? The most relevant portion regarding the Electoral College, Article 2, Section1, Clause 2, mandates:

“Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress.”

“Justice Kagan and her comrades on the Court interpreted “in such Manner as the Legislature thereof my direct” as carte blanche state control over electors – including over the candidate electors vote for. Said differently, they interpret this wording as implying state control over electors’ votes. As we see, the “implied powers” strike again.

“The notion of “implied powers” has haunted this nation for generations. Power-hungry bureaucrats love to read between the lines and imply authority that is not explicitly contained in the Constitution. In our present case, for example, the Constitution does not say that states have carte blanche over electors’ votes. Nowhere does it say that they may force electors to vote for a specific candidate, punish them if they vote their conscience, or otherwise limit their free will in the matter. It simply says that state legislatures may determine how electors are appointed.

“A federal government website gives readers a basic understanding of the Electoral College that the members of the Supreme Court seem to not have. It explains the process and obligations simply:

““Each state gets as many electors as it has members of Congress (House and Senate). Including Washington, D.C.’s three electors, there are currently 538 electors in all. . . .

““Each state’s political parties choose their own slate of potential electors. Who is chosen to be an elector, how, and when varies by state.

““After you cast your ballot for president, your vote goes to a statewide tally. In 48 states and Washington, D.C., the winner gets all the electoral votes for that state. Maine and Nebraska assign their electors using a proportional system.

““A candidate needs the vote of at least 270 electors—more than half of all electors—to win the presidential election.

““In most cases, a projected winner is announced on election night in November after you vote. But the actual Electoral College vote takes place in mid-December when the electors meet in their states.

““The Constitution doesn’t require electors to follow their state’s popular vote, but it’s rare for one not to.” . . . .

“The Electoral College is part of the Constitution. It helps preserve our republican institutions. It gives middle America a voice. It maintains a balance of power so that the nation cannot be dominated by socialist California and New York. God help We the People to see the error of our ways and reject the seductive voices calling for more democracy! Lord help us, while we still can, to compel our state and national representatives to overturn the venomous Supreme Court opinion which essentially binds our electors to the popular vote and erases the fail-safe put in place by our wise Founding Fathers to prevent corruption and civil war! And may the Constitution stand now and forever!”

Unfortunately, we’ve done nothing to free up our electors. Now, as this article goes live, we have electors all across the nation casting their votes under duress and threat of punishment instead of voting for the benefit and preservation America. Because we were apathetic and allowed an activist court to subvert the Constitution, many of our electors are now compelled to cast their all-important votes in accordance with an utterly fraudulent and fabricated popular vote.

Can you begin to see the wisdom of disassociating the election of the president from the popular vote – a vote which can so easily be manipulated and fudged? As our system stands now in its perverted and altered condition, a few key states can manipulate their popular votes, bind their electors to these fraudulent tallies, and thereby steal a presidential election.

Let me say that again more clearly: Right now we are witnessing as several key states with large populations, like Pennsylvania, have outright fabricated their popular vote tally in favor of Joe Biden. The state’s electors now must vote for Biden even though Biden did not actually win the real popular vote and in spite of the Constitution nowhere permitting states to bind electors. By this method, the Democrats and their Red backers are literally stealing the election in front of our eyes.

Can you see our Founding Fathers’ wisdom in creating an undemocratic body like the Electoral College to choose the president instead of allowing popular vote tallies to determine the matter? The chaos we see today has come about not because of their ingenious system, but because we have not followed it. We have allowed states to pass laws binding their electors. We have allowed courts to approve these unconstitutional laws. And now we have allowed criminals to steal the popular vote. When added together, this combination is toxic and results in the theft of the presidency and the final destruction of the American Republic.

Had the Electoral College functioned properly, the Republic would have been spared the misrule of despots ranging from Lincoln to Wilson to FDR to Obama. Sadly, almost from the inception, the Electoral College has not fulfilled the measure of its creation. As much as we might want to, we cannot change the past. But the future has not been written yet. Though the Electoral College did not function properly in 1860, 1912, 1932, 2008, and any other number of election years where traitors ascended to power, there’s no reason why it cannot work in 2020 if patriots will simply ignore unconstitutional laws and court opinions.

I think it highly unlikely that the electors will muster the courage to overrule the fraudulent popular vote and select Donald J. Trump – the rightful winner of the legally cast ballots – as the next president. Yet, the point I’m laboring to make is that it is not a foregone conclusion. Though the Electoral College has been undermined by the courts and by large states seeking to dominate smaller ones, there is still time for these individuals – these special electors – to do the right thing. There is still the opportunity, if these 538 electors will but grasp it, to rebuke Joe Biden and the corrupt clique of gangsters attempting to steal the presidential election and rob 75 million Americans of their voice.

If these electors go along with the swindle and select Bolshevik Biden as the next president, they will one day stand before a higher Judge and account for it. I would not want to be in their position when they have to explain to God why they thought it was ok to sell out the United States of America to a group of conniving communists criminals.

Finally, I have predicted that President Trump would prevail in his legal challenges against the overwhelming election fraud and remain president. In particular, I said that even if he only wins a fraction of the lawsuits, he’ll be reelected because of how mammoth, obvious, and coordinated the fraud was. I’m not yet prepared to say “I was wrong,” but the window of opportunity is closing rapidly as judges show their true colors and deny President Trump’s suits, as state legislatures fail to find their spines and allow electors to be sent to the Electoral College despite the fact that they’re representing a fraudulent vote tally, and as Republicans high and low waffle on whether to stand with the duly-elected president or with the Establishment they’ve secretly served for so long.

In many instances, such as with the communist BLM/Antifa rioting this summer, President Trump is all talk and no action. In our present case, he’s allowing his legal team to fight this battle for him and is largely keeping himself out of it. This is a grave mistake that could cost him the presidency. He ought to be holding daily rallies and giving daily speeches to the American People detailing the conspiracy to steal the election and disenfranchise the voting public. It will be much harder after the Electoral College votes against him, as they will almost certainly do.

Furthermore, the president has power that can be brought to bear on the criminals who are attempting to steal the election away from him. So far, President Trump has failed to use a single one. Perhaps he is not even aware of the options available to him, though his 2018 executive order suggests he is aware of the lengths he can go to stop the conspiratorial theft of the election. In an upcoming article, I’ll discuss the remedies available to President Trump regardless of what happens on Monday in the Electoral College or on January 6 when Congress formally counts the votes.

Pray for the electors. Pray for the president. Pray for anyone and everyone engaged in the fight against the communist conspirators foreign and domestic who stand on the verge of openly stealing the election and using the power it will give them to once and for all plunge America into the abyss of socialist hell. Now is the time to peacefully but forcefully protest while also preparing in earnest to resist tyranny with every tool in the patriot’s arsenal. Let the spirit of Lexington and Concord, of 1776, of Bunker Hill, and of the Delaware crossing flow through you. It’s time to show which side we’re really on. It’s time to conquer of die. Sic Semper Tyrannis. Long Live Liberty!
