I’ve decided to join the People’s Convoy leaving from Barstow, CA and proceeding to Washington DC. There are other convoys, taking different routes, but that one runs, at one point, within a few miles of my house and I’ll be able to stop in and recharge the batteries, figuratively and literally. The question is why, at my age, with the struggles already presented, would I take on this mission?
First, I’m a writer and while that doesn’t pay for much, it does sustain me at times. Second, I’ve been working to right the ship of state since 1987 when it started taking on water. It took on a lot more with the passage of the Patriot Act in 2001. Since 2008 and the betrayal of George W. Bush at the moment when the banking industry had run the thing aground, I knew it would be a lifelong struggle to regain any semblance of freedom, physical or financial. Since 2020, the full-throated push of communism has literally been an attempt to scuttle the ship of state.
Today, we face the most existential threat, not just in Canada or America, but the whole of the free world. If freedom is to survive it will be through massive human capital being expended on these efforts to reveal the corruption and betrayal of our politicians, here and abroad.
As I mentioned in a previous post, Imprisonment in Place, we are engaged in a world war. The enemy being the globalist caste of the World Economic Forum, that has enlisted like-minded sociopaths holding political positions of vital importance in the free world. These traitors have turned the police and the military on its own people like all other despotic dictators. They used the cover of a medial emergency to activate their police-state tactics during the pandemic and when there wasn’t wholesale riots and rebellion, they were convinced they had won.
This convoy and others are a last-ditch attempt to reach out to the American people, to ask for their overwhelming support for freedom and justice. There must be both. This isn’t just about Biden, who is failing spectacularly on his own, it’s about the others who’ve wormed their ways into positions of power at the state and local level. Governors and mayors, city councilmen and county commissioners have revealed themselves as minor despots in the overarching power structure. They are the ones who’ve imposed the worst sanctions against freedom, who have sent the police out to arrest hairdressers and gym owners and used the tools of civil society as weapons of terrorism. It’s not just Merrick Garland and the FBI that have abused their power and violated their oaths, squandered their integrity and principle to indulge their fantasies of power, but they’ve revealed themselves in the process. The people know who they are. They are, by all rational definition, state-sponsored terrorists.
They’ve unleashed BLM and Antifa against the citizens of several cities to terrify the people to gain a political advantage. This is straight-up communist/fascist tactics that have worked in the past, but fascists and communists are unimaginative and for those who observe history it's ridiculously blatant. It is, however, further proof of their ultimate goal: total despotic control.
They corrupted the 2020 election, flooding election officials with fraudulent ballots, then relied on captured Secretaries of State and election officials in solidly partisan districts to aid that fraud. To date, very few government officials have lived up to their oaths, reviewed the evidence and sought criminal prosecutions. Again, getting rid of Trump was the excuse, but the purpose was to demoralize the opposition voter. They knew they cheated and they wanted Republican voters to know they cheated, that’s necessary for the demoralization to take effect. That and it gives them a sociopathic thrill to watch their enemies squirm under the egregious injustice of it.
They’ve demanded that everyone in the nation take part in medical experimentation, despite the relatively minor effects of Covid, the availability of therapeutics and cheap remedies and the alarming dangerousness of the “vaccine” itself. Not only is the injection not a vaccine, it is not “safe and effective” as their propaganda states. So, to refuse to take an injection that is not a vaccine, does not prevent exposure or transmission and might give one AIDS, is, in their twisted sociopathic reasoning, justifiable to cost one their livelihoods, their bank accounts and their participation in society.
These actions cannot go unchallenged and the people who have implemented them cannot go unpunished. The convoy will not solve all of these problems, but it establishes a foundation of resistance. That resistance will be met with all of the tools available to a tyrant that are not available to a democratic system that honors freedom and the right to protest. The convoy will expose that and I intend to broadcast it to the world.
I want to tell the stories of the people involved, the challenges faced and the obstacles overcome. I recognize that the tactics used on the January 6th protesters will be employed against the convoy. I recognize that the police and the military might be used to enforce the will of tyrants against the convoy. Fear, even rational, self-preservational fear, is no reason to back down from the duty to expose the excesses and brutality of a tyrannical system. It’s against that very backdrop that the value of freedom is best defined.
Every paid subscription to the Substack will support my efforts and sustain me on the road. Foundational contributions can be set at any amount above thirty dollars. Otherwise, a yearly subscription is thirty dollars. If you want to contribute directly, email me and I’ll give you an address. This is not a paid role for me, this is out-of-pocket. I will upload some livestreams on Rumble at American Convoy Livestream. Otherwise, I’ll upload to Substack the audio, video or blog post of events. I plan to utilize all of these on the journey. Also, there is one other way to support these efforts at 12 Round Publishing, but that might get frozen, however, it goes immdediately into the 12 Round account, so there wouldn’t be much there to freeze.
I thank you in advance, as this community has helped us to venture out into so many valuable and important efforts. Together, we’ve funded Lies of Omission, we’ve gained a foothold in the film industry, because I’ve been able to go and do things I might not have been able to do without your support. I’ve been able to write books like Nine Principles of Freedom and to maintain the blogs and videos.
TL - Your clarity and uncanny ability to see the forest for the trees is unmatched. It truly grounds the rest of us out here. May God bless your journey along with M. Yon and all the others. Godspeed to you all.
TL - I second what SubMOAMike said. Your writing has made a HUGE impression on me over the last few years, and I know that I'm far from alone in feeling that way. Prayers for a safe and successful journey. The lights are coming on and the cockroaches are scurrying. We need to keep up the momentum.
