Yes stand up! Oh, well, not that way, exactly, some other way perhaps.

From here on out, ignore anything those "action figures" have to say, because they are not resting on any sort of solid foundations, they are buffeted by the winds, turning this way then that, like a ship without sea anchors set out in a strong storm. If you follow them as leaders, you will be cast adrift. They are worse than worthless, they are a danger to you and others who follow them. Know your guiding principles, think on them, and set your course thereby.

Freedom, such a novel concept. Yet every man has a limit to his tolerance

and willingness to go along to get along. We owe no allegiance to liars, thieves,

murderers, that commit even evil acts designed to harm us, our fellow man, and

members of the society of men. The changes that were made are no longer secret.

Righteous indignation is in order.

Clear, plain, unambiguous writing. I agree completely that expressions of our frustration and unwillingness to be silent must be made, in spite of the Michael Yons of the world saying "It's a trap! Don't go!"

What should we do, Michael, voot harder?

Are "they" desperate for an incident to discredit us and tyrannize us? Absolutely. But they are going to do that anyway, aren't they?

I met and interviewed Michael Yon on the trucker convoy in 2022. I have a great deal of respect for him and he had none of those reservations then. His objections to this one did give me pause, but when I looked at it, are we really relying on being safe in such a situation? Are you safe at home? Isn't writing the things that I do, organizing things like I have not encouraged them to retaliate against me? I've had the IRS target me around objections to Obamacare. I've been followed around DC by a bunch of mooks. I've had people taking pictures of me from cars across the street, twice on the same day and confronted them as to what they were doing. If I allow myself to stop, am I not simply caving into their plot?

Bracken was vehemently against the Richmond VA "Lobby Day" January 2019, calling it a "buffalo jump". America put 25,000 armed men on the streets peacefully. You'd better believe that scared the shit out of DC, and prompted the Jan 6 instigations and fedboy plants.

Without looking it up can any reader here tell us what, when and where "Patriots Day" commemorates ?

For those who want to sing Kumbaya supporting the scum one calls "government", you are no more than sheep being led to the slaughter. Problem with that is simply Patriots will be part of the slaughter.

Our former border is no more. No border. No country. Foreign invaders welcomed with open arms and YOUR money by elected and unelected government bureaucrats. Traitors allegedly "representing" the Citizens of this once great nation.Why haven't any of the many traitors not assumed a permanent, horizontal position ?

Unless American Citizens organize and repel boarders and their treasonous enablers with deadly force we ALL are nothing more than sheep to the slaughter.

I came across Jeremiah 48:10….cursed are those who refuse to do the Lords work, who hold back their swords from shedding blood.

Pretty straight forward.

I wonder how my soft, candy-ass, beta male church leadership will explain THAT away?

I'd like to see their faces.

Ken, I am not very good with knowing books of the Bible. Is not Jeremiah from the Old Testament ? Seems to me in a sense, that the Old Testament writes of countering bad circumstances with violence. Example: "An eye for an eye."

Whereas, IMO, the New Testament's writings are more in-line with the "Sing Kumbaya" approach using peaceful solutions, non-violence to problems, situations, varying circumstances.

Thoughts ?

I really appreciate your insight and question, Dan.

Violence is prevalent in the OT.

Hopefully someone more well versed than us can shed some light.

My $$$$ to the truckers was returned.

David,

Hard to understand returning your contribution. It will be an upward battle. No doubt. Do not give up.

Dan,

I imagine the “authorities” intercepted it. They control the banking. Thanks,

Upon further review, as they say in the NFL, I apologize for my very, very gutless reply to your question. I don’t want to be extreme and inflammatory but one would have to be brain dead not to see violence coming.

Men will be called upon to draw their swords.

It won’t be up to the women, and the betas will make a little noise then hide.

I heard someone say a surviving society must have GOOD men trained in and capable of violence. They are all around us….military, law enforcement, and prepared self-trained Patriots. Like it or not, they will be the point of the spear.

When a round is fired somewhere sometime, either in anger or accident….then all bets will be off.

GL10,

Your closing sentence is spot on. As on 19 APR 1775 at Lexington Green a shot was fired. To this day it is not known who fired that first shot. Whether that first round came from colonial militia or from the soldiers of the Crown no one knows. As you stated all bets are off.

"....the shot heard 'round the world." How far we have traveled from those who created this nation.

Jesus in the Temple horsewhipping the moneychangers - that's definitely not "Kumbaya"... Also, the bit where he tells those of his followers who are unarmed to sell their cloaks and buy swords.

Stream,

There are more than a few examples in the Bible of our Lord and his followers responding with calls to action. Your ability to extract portions of the Bible to support your dedicated beliefs is exemplary.

Your knowledge is Power.

Dan, we tried organizing and you see where it stands. Five maybe seven who will stand for freedom from a group of 22.

We are now relegated to guerrilla tactics to resist the tyranny. Much like the "Irish Troubles" the fight will take generations and decades until the atrocities are too great for the silent majority to ignore. Only then will the hearts and minds swing from their wallets to rebellion.

When the numbers are great enough no amount of military will be able to save the traitors. It will be an un-civil war.

Train, train, train, and become self sufficient as if your life depended on it!

Pnoldguy,

I understand your dismay with trying to organize Citizen defenders, i.e., militia.

More than 12 years ago I tried to start a "defense" group. There were four of us at the initial meeting. It never went any further than four of us meeting just once in a barn.

As you know the scum one calls "government" has tried to criminalize defending oneself. From one American using a tool to defend himself up to and through groups acting as an armed defense group. The domestic communists have made Patriots and Traditional Americans into criminals !

One of my beliefs is that Patriots may have to resort to the secretive creation and combat actions of the Irish Republican Army. Many know it as "The Troubles".

Your small group of American Patriots is a great start. Hell ! You weeded out the other pretenders. I'd give my left testicle to have five dedicated American Patriots preparing to defend against a rogue government.

As you wrote "....train". And do your very best to maintain the five as your foundation core.

Five whose character and principles you know now, is far superior to 22 whose character and principles, at the outset, you knew not. 17 failed the test, five passed. Stick with them, you need no more than that.

I'm 73 now, and aware of my limitations. Yet, for all of that, I'll crib a line from Gilbert and Sullivan - "I've got a little List."

Bravo, Sir. Bravo!

Every pissed-off Patriot who remains silent and inactive is a threat to each one who refuses to.

This is a game of numbers, at least perceived numbers. You need to be heard to matter.

Truth only matters when those who are not inclined to pursue it, hear it anyway.

Onward, Christian soldiers!

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say goodbye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrest, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood that they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat. What about the Black Maria sitting out there on the street with one lonely chauffeur – what if it had been driven off or its tires spiked. The Organs [Soviet state institutions] would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

If…if… We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation. We spent ourselves in one unrestrained outburst in 1917, and then we hurried to submit. We submitted with pleasure! … We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” https://academyofideas.com/2020/06/aleksandr-solzhenitsyn-quotes-what-the-gulag-archipelago-can-teach-us-now/

A watched pot never boils, or so says that old saying we all have heard. I must admit that I've been watching this particular pot for a very long time, it seems. I still may not be boiling, but I can discern some steam as the water contained heats and begins to move a bit as those bubbles form on the bottom. Almost there. How much longer? Will it actually finally boil, and will it be soon enough to make a difference? Powers and principalities are active in attempting to turn off the heat.

"Safety" is an Illusion. Those of Us who "Feel" Safe just haven't been Attacked Yet..... by Whomever, Felonious FIB or Common Criminal/Illegal Invaders.

Davey Crockett's spit to Congress had it correct, "You all can go to hell, i'm going to Texas."

Be safe TL--get yourself a good Faraday cage pouch or leave your phone behind, or get an untraceable burner throwaway--no credit card purchases or ATM withdrawals within a 100 mile radius. Go to school on J6--make the traitors work.

Godspeed.
