A Pledge to Freedom

Despots are about power, not principle. They only use principle as a stage prop.

A creed in the nation of the Free People of America:

I pledge to live free and responsibly, and to respect the freedom of my fellow citizens.

That’s it. But those sixteen words encompass a universe of truth.

The word I is the first person pronoun, and this nation is about the people, the I’s that make up the nation. The United States of America is apparently about some coagulation of political and regulatory entities, with scant concern for the people who give it life. Without respect for the I’s, the US has sickened, and suffers its last death throes. The nation of the Free People of America is a nation of, by, and for the people, not the government. You have heard that there was another nation based on that principle, but it soon went astray.

The word pledge implies that person is making a commitment. In the US today, the concept of commitment is antiquated, where marital commitment is obsolete, commitment to the country is offensive, and commitment to ideals and particularly morality is gauche. But we in the Free People of America have personal fiber strong for commitment, and the fortitude to keep our commitments in the face of opposition.

The verb live free contains an understanding of the effort, work, and treasure required to not only live free but preserve that freedom, at all costs. Living free is not easy, and never has been. Despots see free people as prey, and our living free is a mortal threat to them. Our creed is poison to them. The nation which we overlay is threatened and scared by our freedom, and that nation is acting as our slave master.

The word responsibly is the other side of the coin of rights. Too often in the US we demand our rights, while abdicating our responsibilities. I need not provide examples; you can provide numerous ones from your own experience with irresponsible people who demand their rights.

Responsibility prompts the question, Responsible to what? Or whom? Our creed does not mention God any more than it mentions gravity or Euclid’s Elements or the basic truths of science, but these are assumed and valued, not taken for granted. Our responsibility incorporates the principles of Godly human interaction, including the Golden Rule, respect for others’ lives and property, telling the truth tenaciously, and living out virtue, courage, and honor. Our responsibility stretches from returning a lost wallet, to raising our children right, to risking our life for our neighbor as their home burns.

Responsibility also extends to the defense of freedom. We all know, or have been, members of the military whose lives are on the line to protect our freedom.

Respecting the freedom of our fellow citizens outlines those things we will not do. For example, we will not demand a day’s pay without working. We will also not stand idly by while our injured or sick neighbor who cannot work starves. We will not enslave our neighbor. We will not falsely accuse our neighbor. We will not spread gossip or lies. We will not steal. We will not support governmental systems which put our neighbor into economic or physical or medical bondage. And we will not manipulate the systems we create to oppress our neighbors simply because we disagree with their course of action or specific beliefs, or we want their wealth.

The word freedom does not mean freedom to do just anything, of course, but the freedom to be a whole, contributing member of our society, enjoying its benefits. You are not free to be a moron. Freedom empowers rich life, but is not free and comes at a cost, sometimes a great cost.

Last, the term fellow citizens implies that we have brothers and sisters of all colors and creeds who are living free. It also implies there are others who are not fellow citizens. There are always evil people in the world who would enslave and use us. Those people are not our fellow citizens. They must be fought and defeated, else we would in the end become their slaves. As an example, consider the United States of America, which is full of would-be slave masters, many of whom are highly successful at enslavement.

A poor or oppressed person reaching our shores penniless but ready to work can certainly be a fellow citizen, as has been the case in the past even in the United States. A person seeking the welfare state can not.

The creed incorporates so many virtuous ideas that have been poisoned by the economic slavery and political power greed we see in the US. For example, environmentalism has been co-opted by the liberals as a vehicle of economic suppression and political control. But the basic notions of clean air and water, good stewardship of the land in agriculture, and not poisoning the country in which we live are all right and proper. A responsible person farming their land responsibly in the nation of the Free People of America will take care of the land because they know it supports their life. They love the land. The left despises the concept of land ownership, but only when each acre has a ‘lover’ as a land owner does it thrive. The free areas are beautiful because they are loved by their responsible owners. Thus, stewardship of the environment reaches full adulthood through a free people, without the burden of greedy politicians or government regulations.

Our banking system in the US is corrupt, being easily manipulated by those in government. For example, why are interest rates near zero percent for individuals and businesses who would put money on deposit? It’s because the banks are receiving free fiat money from the government, through the Federal Reserve. If they receive free money, why should they pay you interest for yours? This is a crime and a distortion of the marketplace. Economic responsibility extends even to those who would be bankers in the nation of the Free People of America, so that they would never participate in such a criminal scam to debase and inflate their own currency.

Isn’t this simple?

Once upon a time

Government’s most basic responsibility is the preservation of civil order. The fundamental compact between government and citizens is that in return for paying taxes, government protects us from marauders. There is no point having a government if it takes the position that it cannot protect its constituents.


We can be certain that fundamental compact between government and citizens is gone, and the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse demonstrates this.


Rittenhouse was 17 years old when he traveled a few minutes from his home to the town where some of his family and friends lived to help clean graffiti, tend to injured people, help put out fires, and help keep the peace by guarding stores from looters. There is ample video coverage that proves he was doing these things.


Kyle Rittenhouse was doing what the government would not. He stepped up while local government ordered police to hang back. We saw burning, looting and violence against innocent people and businesses and our government, that has a responsibility to preserve civil order, did nothing. These weren’t protesters peacefully marching and giving speeches. These were thugs. Antifa and BLM have demonstrated in many cities over a long period of time that they are nothing more than violent thugs. Our government rolled over.


Actually, it’s worse than that. We have local and Federal elected officials calling these thugs “heroes” and “victims” and refer to them as “protesters”. They’re not just turning a blind eye to the marauders, they are lionizing them.


This is not acceptable.


You want to protest? Fine, that’s your constitutionally-acknowledged right. March, make speeches, write to officials, etc. You want to burn, loot and hurt people? You should be shot on sight.


And maybe if our local governments won’t step up and do what they should, we need to be like young Mr. Rittenhouse and step up. And if you live in an area where your local government protects thugs rather than law-abiding citizens, then maybe, just maybe, we need to remove those officials for destroying the social compact that allows the government to exist at all.


Perhaps we need to revise our history books so they begin “Once upon a time” just like all the other fairy tales.

An open letter to Kyle Rittenhouse

–by Jackson P Chamberlain


Dear Kyle,

Boy, you’ve been through some crap.

I guess I don’t need to tell you that. I will tell you that I’m sorry you’re having to deal with so much of this stuff, and I’ll apologize to you on behalf of myself and millions like me. We’re the ones who allowed America to devolve into what it’s become. We weren’t strong enough, weren’t engaged enough, weren’t interested enough to nip these things in the bud when we saw them happening, and now we’re all on the verge of losing the greatest nation in the history of mankind simply because it’s been easier to just sit on the couch and do nothing about any of it. America is dying on our watch, and you’ve been caught up in it’s horrid spiraling demise. I’m sincerely sorry for that.

The bottom line is we haven’t been brave enough. We haven’t shown the courage to fight when fighting has been necessary. We haven’t been honorable enough to stand when a stand needed to be taken. It isn’t that we’ve allowed our lines in the sand to be crossed; it’s that we’ve never made a serious effort to even find any sand, let alone actually draw a line in it. We’re a generation of apathetic cowards who’ve allowed ourselves to be bullied, demeaned, labeled, and otherwise disrespected by some of the worst of the dregs of society. They call us names, place us in groups that don’t even exist (and don’t fit us in any case), intentionally paint us into corners, and still we just sit there and let them do as they will. They threaten violence and we respond with talk. They commit actual violence and we settle in to watch it on television.

It takes courage to actually do, or even try to do, something meaningful to stop the mayhem. Most of us just don’t have it.

You did. You stood for your country, your community, and your fellow man. Barbarians were at the gate, even inside it, and you answered the call. While most cowered in the keep, you rushed full-on to the ramparts, prepared to turn back the devils if they managed to breach the wall.
Of course, you never expected the events of that night. You were there to present a deterrent, assist the injured when possible, and simply do good. I’m sure you know already, but I want you to understand with certainty that the majority of America knows and understands what you were there to do, and most of us wish now we had been there doing it with you. We admire your conviction, and of course your courage.

In being a good citizen, you showed much more civic pride (and duty) than most of us ever have. It’s men like you who stop robberies in the middle of the street, or stop rapes in the dark back alleys. When people stop being like you, folks get ambushed in the middle of the day in crowds of people, and all anyone else will do is record it on their phone looking for a big media payday or YouTube fame. It’s shameful.

You didn’t do that, and that’s why you should never be ashamed of who you are or what you did as events transpired on that day.

You’re being called a “hero” in some circles. That’s someone’s attempt to raise you up from the quagmire you wound up in once you had to defend yourself. I avoid that word, partly because it’s overused but also because it doesn’t really reflect what you did, and it absolutely ignores the reality of your situation. It was very manly – and that’s a word I’m going to come back to in just a moment – to stand when others weren’t able to, but it’s rarely heroic to kill people, even when you have to. This is especially true in cases of defending oneself from harm. This is why you don’t feel like a “hero”; it’s an incongruous image for the facts of the case, and your brain (not to mention your heart) is well aware of it.

I prefer to think of you as just a good person who wound up in bad circumstance and made the best of it that he could. This is indeed noble, but I wouldn’t use the word “hero”. It’s just a person doing the right thing.

I’m going to talk to you like a Dad now. I want you to hear what I have to say from this point as if you were my own son, because in fact you could easily have been. These are the things I’d say if it was my son wearing your shoes right now.

I’m proud of you. I’m sure your actual father is, too, but coming from a Dad who isn’t yours, I’d like to think it might make a difference to you. What you did wasn’t easy. I don’t just mean the skill with your weapon, which is also worthy of pride, but I’m talking about handling a desperate situation with as much grace and proper decision-making as could be expected of anyone, let alone a 17-year-old kid. You accounted of yourself brilliantly. I’ve watched the videos, seen and heard the court testimony, and I can tell you that as someone who has trained pretty extensively for situations just like the one you faced, I’m not certain I could do it as well as you did. When it was over, you also did the right things, looking for police and attempting to “turn yourself in” over the obviously bad situation. This is what a good person does, because he expects there to be justice.

Again, I’m sorry there hasn’t been much of that for you at this point. Some people are just shameful, awful individuals, and sometimes they reach positions of power over others that they are too incompetent, or too mean-spirited, to handle properly. The prosecutors in your case are great examples of this, but there have been hundreds of such examples, from the (supposed) President of the United States on down the line.

We’re in a time where “manly” is one of those words that has been taken away from us as a civilization, as if it is evil. If someone gets offended by it now, so be it. I’m going to use it because it so properly expresses how you’ve behaved, before, during, and after the event. I believe that many people would have wet their pants (and likely would have wound up dead) in a situation such as you experienced. They wouldn’t have assessed the situation correctly (as you did), responded appropriately (as you did), behaved properly afterward (as you did), or faced the music you’ve been forced to face with as much grace and dignity as you have. These are all the signs of a real man; that they’re so obvious in someone who is barely shaving is a tribute to you and to your parents for having raised you right. As an aside, let me say that some who have criticized you, such as LeBron James, do so only because they are looking up at you. They see someone they have had every opportunity to be, and haven’t (nor will they ever) reached that plateau. Regarding Mr. James specifically, he’s one of the greatest basketball players in history, and yet he’ll never be half the man you already are. He has to look himself in the mirror every day, and you can be sure he realizes it each time he does.

Speaking of looking oneself in the mirror, you’ve got a long life ahead of you having to do just that. You’re going to see the faces of those men you had to kill, and there will be times those faces haunt you.

That is as it should be. No matter how good or bad they were as people, no matter how necessary they made your actions, they were still people whose lives you were forced to end. There is no glory in that. It will never be easy to live with that knowledge.

But there’s no shame in it, either. When you are innocent of wrongdoing but faced with a “them or me” situation, it should always be you who survives if you have the ability and means to make it so. You did, and it was the right thing. You’ll lose your share of sleep over it because you’re a good person who had to do something terrible, but let righteousness and honor handle those moments because both were upheld by your actions.

The last thing I want to say is this; bad things happen to good people. You did everything right – don’t ever doubt that – but the world is trying to do everything wrong right now, and you’re liable to be a victim of that. There isn’t a lot of justice in the American justice system at present. You should easily be found innocent of any charge they attempt to bring against you, but society is leaning into everyone from the judge to the jury on this one. Those jurors may be in fear for their lives. They may make bad decisions, or purposely incorrect ones, in order to (they think) protect themselves and their families. You could wind up paying a price you don’t owe, relegated to a place and sentence you don’t deserve.

Don’t despair. Patriots won’t “bust you out” in the traditional sense, but we’ll be sure to put as much pressure on as possible, to the governor of your state, and to the next President of the United States if necessary, to secure your unconditional pardon and immediate release. There are still honorable people in high places, and we’ll do our best to make sure those folks get involved and commute whatever idiocy might befall you as a result of this horrible “trial”. It won’t happen overnight, but it won’t take long. I suspect the next President will sign that pardon before his butt hits the leather of the Oval Office chair.
With a bit of good fortune, that won’t be necessary, though. The whole world saw the evidence and knows you’re not guilty. I’d like to think the jurors will follow your example and do the right thing.

I’m proud to call you my countryman, proud to stand beside you, and I’d be proud to have you as my son. Continue to stand strong. This will all be over soon enough. In the meantime, remember that you’ve got MILLIONS and MILLIONS of patriots behind you.

Thank you for being better than we have been. Maybe your example will serve to make us all aware of how unworthy we are to call ourselves American patriots while allowing our country to drift so far off course. Maybe, because of you, we’ll correct all that.

America-an obituary?

We’ve traded the American Revolution for the Cultural Revolution.

“Going thru my e mails, I found this, Called America. “


“… In the springtime of youth, an endless summer beckons. As you pass 70, it’s harder to hide from reality.Nations also have seasons: Imagine a Roman of the 2nd century contemplating an empire that stretched from Britain to the Near East, thinking: This will endure forever…. Forever was about 500 years, give or take.


France was pivotal in the 17th and 18th centuries; now the land of Charles Martel is on its way to becoming part of the Muslim ummah.


In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the sun never set on the British empire; now Albion exists in a perpetual twilight. Its 95-year-old sovereign is a fitting symbol for a nation in terminal decline.


In the 1980s, Japan seemed poised to buy the world. Business schools taught Japanese management techniques. Today, its birth rate is so low and its population aging so rapidly that an industry has sprung up to remove the remains of elderly Japanese who die alone.


I was born in 1942, almost at the midpoint of the 20th century – the American century. America’s prestige and influence were never greater. Thanks to the ‘Greatest Generation,’ we won a World War fought throughout most of Europe, Asia and the Pacific. We reduced Germany to rubble and put the rising sun to bed. It set the stage for almost half a century of unprecedented prosperity.


We stopped the spread of communism in Europe and Asia, and fought international terrorism. We rebuilt our enemies and lavished foreign aid on much of the world. We built skyscrapers and rockets to the moon. We conquered Polio and now COVID. We explored the mysteries of the Universe and the wonders of DNA…the blueprint of life.


But where is the glory that once was Rome? America has moved from a relatively free economy to socialism – which has worked so well NOWHERE in the world.


We’ve gone from a republican government guided by a constitution to a regime of revolving elites. We have less freedom with each passing year. Like a signpost to the coming reign of terror, the cancel culture is everywhere. We’ve traded the American Revolution for the Cultural Revolution.


The pathetic creature in the White House is an empty vessel filled by his handlers. At the G-7 Summit, ‘Dr. Jill’ had to lead him like a child. In 1961, when we were young and vigorous, our leader was too. Now a feeble nation is technically led by the oldest man to ever serve in the presidency.


We can’t defend our borders, our history (including monuments to past greatness) or our streets. Our cities have become anarchist playgrounds. We are a nation of dependents, mendicants, and misplaced charity. Homeless veterans camp in the streets while illegal aliens are put up in hotels.


The president of the United States can’t even quote the beginning of the Declaration of Independence (‘You know — The Thing’) correctly. Ivy League graduates routinely fail history tests that 5th graders could pass a generation ago. Crime rates soar and we blame the 2nd. Amendment and slash police budgets.


Our culture is certifiably insane. Men who think they’re women. People who fight racism by seeking to convince members of one race that they’re inherently evil, and others that they are perpetual victims. A psychiatrist lecturing at Yale said she fantasizes about ‘unloading a revolver into the head of any white person.’


We slaughter the unborn in the name of freedom, while our birth rate dips lower year by year. Our national debt is so high that we can no longer even pretend that we will repay it one day. It’s a $28-trillion monument to our improvidence and refusal to confront reality. Our ‘entertainment’ is sadistic, nihilistic and as enduring as a candy bar wrapper thrown in the trash. Our music is noise that spans the spectrum from annoying to repulsive.


Patriotism is called insurrection, treason celebrated, and perversion sanctified. A man in blue gets less respect than a man in a dress. We’re asking soldiers to fight for a nation our leaders no longer believe in.


How meekly most of us submitted to Fauci-ism (the regime of face masks, lockdowns and hand sanitizers) shows the impending death of the American spirit.


How do nations slip from greatness to obscurity?
• Fighting endless wars they can’t or won’t win
• Accumulating massive debt far beyond their ability to repay
• Refusing to guard their borders, allowing the nation to be inundated by an alien horde
• Surrendering control of their cities to mob rule • Allowing indoctrination of the young
• Moving from a republican form of government to an oligarchy
• Losing national identity
• Indulging indolence
• Abandoning faith and family – the bulwarks of social order.


In America, every one of these symptoms is pronounced, indicating an advanced stage of the disease.


Even if the cause seems hopeless, do we not have an obligation to those who sacrificed so much to give us what we had? I’m surrounded by ghosts urging me on: the Union soldiers who held Cemetery Ridge at Gettysburg, the battered bastards of Bastogne, those who served in the cold hell of Korea, the guys who went to the jungles of Southeast Asia and came home to be reviled or neglected.


This is the nation that took in my immigrant grandparents, whose uniform my father and most of my uncles wore in the Second World War. I don’t want to imagine a world without America, even though it becomes increasingly likely.


During Britain’s darkest hour, when its professional army was trapped at Dunkirk and a German invasion seemed imminent, Churchill reminded his countrymen, ‘Nations that go down fighting rise again, and those that surrender tamely are finished.’


The same might be said of causes. If we let America slip through our fingers, if we lose without a fight, what will posterity say of us?


While the prognosis is far from good, only God knows if America’s day in the sun is over.”

The only thing we have to fear is…GOVERNMENT ITSELF

truth, then why are governments working with Google, Facebook, and Twitter to censor scientific debates? Is truth so fragile that it will not survive false attacks?

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

I am of the opinion that we are all a part of one of the great epochal shifts in human history and that what we fight to secure today will reverberate through society for generations. We did not ask for this moment — most of us, in fact, have hoped that by quietly enduring the hardships that come our way, our toleration of what is intolerable would somehow be rewarded with comfort and peace. As with all turning points in human history, however, the desire to ignore obvious trespasses in order to forestall conflict has had the effect of encouraging further harm until conflict is all but certain. Like a garden hose tied into a knot, societal pressure has been steadily building, and everybody senses that it could pop at any time.

As with all revolutionary moments, at the root of this conflict is an idea. In one word, that idea is freedom. Now, governments have been manipulating this word for as long as humans have been demanding it. Lenin seized power in Russia while claiming to “free” the proletariat masses. In FDR’s famous Four Freedoms State of the Union address in 1941, the president defended freedom of speech and freedom of religion but also insisted that it is government’s responsibility to ensure “freedom from want” and “freedom from fear.” In the days since the United States Supreme Court refrained from interfering with the State of Texas’s decision to limit abortion after the detection of a baby’s heartbeat, pro-abortion Americans have insisted that a woman’s “freedom” to terminate her pregnancy up to the moment of childbirth supersedes the baby’s freedom to live. So when I say this revolutionary moment is at its heart a conflict over “freedom,” I must be clear that it is an ideological battle pitting human life and free will against the commands of collectivist authorities — namely, that individual liberty is a moral imperative being threatened by an increasingly all-powerful globalized government run by a small handful of decision-makers in the name of the “greater good.”

Every interaction between government and citizen today tests how far individual liberty may be diminished before the public pushes back. Should authorities have had the power to close businesses and prohibit public gatherings in the name of health? What if the risk to the public’s health is less than one percent? What if the risk is merely one-hundredth of one percent? If government can interfere with liberty whenever there is any degree of risk, can there be any degree of liberty?

If government can make you afraid of something — imaginary or not — may it then control your life completely in order to guarantee FDR’s “freedom from fear”? Does depending on government to ensure “freedom from fear” not incentivize government to invent new fears that only additional government powers can vanquish? Does this not subsidize fear with taxpayer dollars and guarantee that government will always strive to make citizens afraid? Can it really be true that individual liberty should be “allowed” to exist only when there is nothing that can hurt us? Isn’t that what a master might tell his slaves?

If truth exists independently from governmental decree, and science is a process in search of truth, then why are governments working with Google, Facebook, and Twitter to censor scientific debates? Is truth so fragile that it will not survive false attacks? Is science so dependent on “official edicts” that it must be regulated and practiced only by a small priestly caste? If scientific consensus depends on government creating a monopoly over information, does this mean that truth is whatever government deems it to be? Since government is incentivized to invest in fear, is it likely that government will ever declare a truth that isn’t also scary?

If government power grows by monopolizing information and weaponizing fear, then isn’t the greatest threat to government an independent citizen unafraid of thinking for himself? Is it not true, then, that every single person is capable of destroying the illusion of total government control? Is it not true that leaders can rise from anywhere — whether at local school board meetings, in football stadiums, or even from spontaneous testimonials during Red Lobster dinners? Is it difficult to imagine “freedom speakeasies” popping up wherever freedom is outlawed? Is it not true that there are more citizens than jail cells and that when enough people choose to disobey unjust laws, government must choose either to change the laws or lose its powers? Is it not true that every fight for freedom throughout history has started with a spark that catches fire? Is it not also true that sometimes the worst brushfires spread, and things get unbearably hot for a while, but then great growth rebounds after that?

I am of the firm opinion that not only does the course of history refuse to follow some linear arrangement dictated by those in positions of power, but that it also often ricochets against the most concerted efforts of those attempting to direct its currents. During these moments of self-inflicted backfire, history is up for grabs, great leaders rise, and even greater ideas emerge. For Americans, the propositions that set our ancestors free beckon once again.

As President Coolidge observed in his timeless 1926 speech celebrating the 150th anniversary of America, some truths are set in stone: “If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people.”

We didn’t ask for this moment, but should we have the strength of character to see it for what it is, then we have the power to determine what happens next. All we have to decide is that freedom is worth defending with the time that is given to us.

Fellowship and humanity

Our liberty is inherent.
Our freedom is inherent.

The removal of both requires consent.

I will not divide my humanity, nor concede my core view of fellowship, simply to comply with the demand of another that I consider my brother or sister of greater or less equity than myself. Any business that chooses that path will not benefit from my economic participation. I choose freedom!

Not only are various governmental agencies forcing the separation of people from their community networks, we are also seeing faith-based organizations, churches, buying into the fear. Even in areas where churches are not forcibly shut down, many are seeing a structural shift where some faith leaders are willingly ostracizing their community under the guise of various COVID alarms. This is not good…. not good at all.

Fellowship is the essential ingredient to a purposeful life. How and why we interact with each other is how and why we recharge our core humanity. To see faith leaders willing to separate from the function of fellowship is alarming. However, as individuals we must not allow this foreboding sense to become the normal expectation.

Throughout history, large armies have been defeated through the process of division. It is not a leap to see the same strategic objectives being deployed against social assemblies including congregations. It is puzzling how many in leadership cannot see the danger in social and spiritual distance when the bond of fellowship is needed more than ever.

Each of us has a different connection to our community. Each of us has a different level of internal strength… such is the nature of living. However, the distance between people is manifestly not a good outcome when combined with the lack of food for the soul.

Ultimately, it is the currency of human connection that is the true value in our lives.

We have each felt how our positive influence upon the lives of others nourishes our own sense of purpose and fulfillment. Do not lose that. Do not think you can compensate for that through other arbitrary measures; you cannot.

With local, state and federal leaders moving beyond the workplace distance; and beyond the community distance; and beyond the church distance; and now entering your home to tell you the importance of separating yourself from your family, we must evaluate these arbitrary decrees very deliberately.

Evaluate very closely what we are willing to give up. Perhaps we are in this position today because we didn’t sit still enough and contemplate the real priorities in our lives.

Our liberty is inherent.

Our freedom is inherent.

The removal of both requires consent.

I choose not to disconnect.

I choose purpose.

I choose my own humanity.

America, occupied Part 2 “The Big Lie”

The real “big lie” is that the regime is a legitimate “democracy.”

The real “big lie” is that the regime is a legitimate “democracy.” As the saying goes, the lady doth protest too much. Just like January 6, the regime cannot talk about the 2020 election without hyperbole. It was not only legitimate, they tell us, but the very most legitimate, most fair, most robust, most democratic election ever. It is “not hyperbole,” Biden says, to call it “the fullest expression of the will of the people in the history of this nation.” We can never go back, then, to the way we voted before the coronavirus. That would be “Jim Crow on steroids.” And why should we? Only insurrectionists worry about voter fraud.

With its obnoxious “big lie” rhetoric, the regime is scapegoating the people for their legitimate grievances. If they can be forced to pretend that the 2020 election was fair and that Biden is not a crooked gerontocrat installed in a ruthless power grab, then they will have acquiesced to the rule of the oligarchy and may never expect legitimate elections ever again.

The 2020 election was a sham, a Third World farce. It is not necessary to consider ballot shenanigans to acknowledge this. The sheer volume of lies the regime told to take down Donald Trump, the extent of the dirty cover-ups to protect Biden, were unlike anything in American history. The media behaved, as they do now, like Pravda.

For these same people to now shriek about “the big lie” can be nothing other than a boast, a flex of power meant to demoralize.

After all, didn’t these very same people spend years frothing about the “pee tape” at ear-shattering volume to discredit Trump? Yes, they did that. They know that we know that they did that, and they don’t care. They’re saying, “we can do whatever we want, tell whatever lies we want, tamper how we please with your elections, but you’re never allowed to push back. If you should dare, we’ll make certain to destroy you—in the name of democracy.”

America occupied, Part 1

The American people are no longer sovereign. We have no control of our borders, and if the regime gets its way we will soon have no control of our elections. Our country has been stolen from us.

Every American institution of influence has been taken over by radical ideologues who believe they have an unconditional right to rule.


Public schools are the regime’s reeducation camps, where the next generations are brainwashed into hating America and advocating that it must be replaced by the regime.

Unelected bureaucrats in our military and intelligence agencies are loyal to the regime, on whose behalf they police dissent. Our military leaders are self-righteous maniacs who believe they are in no way under the control of the civilian population, but rather have a sacred mission to keep “democracy” safe and secure from “Nazis” in flyover country. They made this very clear by turning our nation’s capital into a fortress after the “insurrection.” The message: this is not your country anymore, rubes.


Like similar regimes from the past, ours uses absurd, malicious propaganda to justify its depredations. We are told that a riot that was over in hours, in which the only person killed was an unarmed female veteran who was there to protest and whose killer remains protected by the regime, was an “insurrection”—an existential threat to “democracy” worse than 9/11 and the Civil War combined.


As our elected officials carry on a sentimental parade about this “insurrection” behind a wall of protection, the nation’s borders are being overrun by foreigners invited here by the regime to transform the nation’s demographics and secure the regime’s hold on power.


The American people are no longer sovereign. We have no control of our borders, and if the regime gets its way we will soon have no control of our elections. Our country has been stolen from us.

That is an act of war, compared to which January 6 was less than nothing.

The consent of the governed

As the government grows more powerful, elected officials seem to forget that they are public servants of the people.


Soon, their political agenda surfaces as they begin to legislate their own interests, often times against the people’s wishes.


Elected officials derive their legitimacy to govern through the consent of the governed.

Apocalypse Now?

When more of the people finally realize that they are the enemy of the state, their numbers are going to cause sedition, separation, division, and war.

In history, there have been multiple accounts of governments losing their way, enslaving the populace and eventually failing.

I believe we’re just about there.

The United States Government and many of the Governors of states have turned on the American People.We are now, for all intents and purposes, at the start of a civil war.


I hate saying this.
I hate the situation.
I hate the rhetoric!


But the government has turned its power on the people of the country for their own personal political desires.
Their legitimacy is gone. Their credibility is GONE! They do not hold sway to the level they want and a revolt is starting.


When more of the people finally realize that they are the enemy of the state, their numbers are going to cause sedition, separation, division, and war.

There is little doubt of this!

We are here!
