“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.” Patrick Henry, Founding Father and American attorney, planter and politician
“The only way to deal with an un-free world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” Albert Camus, French philosopher, author, and journalist
We just celebrated Independence Day on July 4th, 2021. Perhaps in the early days of the Republic we had much to celebrate. But in the year of our Lord 2021, the freedom for which we now celebrate is a myth …. a mirage. We are celebrating "what" Day? Independence you say! Independence from what? Certainly it can't be independence from government tyranny. We see no signs of that.
"And the rocket's red glare ..... the bombs bursting in air ..... gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave ..... O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?" Really?
As Francis Scott Key watched over the ramparts from his sloop, after visiting a British war ship in an attempt to exchange a prisoner during the war of 1812, he managed to hold on to his strong belief in liberty and as long as that flag still waved over Fort McHenry in the battle of Baltimore, liberty still lived in his mind and on the land he loved. From that unreal vision, framed in chaos, Francis penned the words of our Star-Spangled Banner that we sing in tribute to our freedom, our independence and to the flag that waves proudly throughout the land.
But we in America today are not watching a foreign enemy attack one of our forts, or one of our cities with a military force, where crushing noise, death and destruction rain down on the inhabitants. What we are watching is the very destruction of our institutions of freedom from within by leaders who are intent on tearing down and dismantling the very fabric of our freedom.
We suffer in a battle of two ideologies, freedom and liberty on the one hand, and socialism, government control and enslavement on the other. Our country has a cancer and we must purge it now, or the cancer will grow to the point where no "medicine" will save the patient. All future generations will be affected by what we do now to cure this cancer.
In an all-out war, the choices are crystal clear. We need only to kill the enemy and be victorious. But when the enemy is our own leaders, what then do we do? We expunge our leaders and choose other one’s who will adhere to the foundation of our liberty and swear on solemn oath to preserve, protect and defend that foundation and then live up to that oath as if their lives depended on it. Unfortunately, our mission is cloudy, as we do not know exactly what weapons to use to expunge those leaders. Must we take action alone without sufficient resources and without those millions of Americans who have lost their way, or must we first accumulate the resources and then convince the one’s who are lost and help them back to the right path? Or, should we instead just let the current covey of leaders have their way and allow their errors to be their own enemy and thus hasten their own demise? These are the questions we must answer and time is of the essence. History is recording what we do, or don't do.
When Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, it was a declaration of war against the tyranny of Great Britain. It was a declaration of independence from excessive taxation, from harsh regulations, from no representation and from military rule. The colonials had enough and declared war, with all of the tragic consequences that come from such a declaration. They were willing to die for their freedom and their independence.
THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE STATES IT IS THE PEOPLE'S RIGHT TO OVERTHROW A TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT, BUT IS IT?
Today, are we willing to die for our freedom and independence as the Declaration of Independence authorizes? We might be willing to die for such a cause but the federal government made it illegal. 18 USC Section 2385 prohibits any person or persons from acting on that authority, or face serious fines and lengthy jail times. Here is the federal statute in part:
"Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States, or prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States by force or violence, or attempts to do so; or whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both. If two or more persons conspire to commit any offense named in this section, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both."
Unfortunately, the Declaration is meaningless, dead, an empty vessel and an out-of-date promise with no teeth. Your federal government repealed it with a law.
If July 4th is Independence Day, it is not the Independence that is defined in our American dictionary. It is not the freedom and independence that was crafted so carefully in our Declaration of Independence by men of vision, in a time of conflict, confusion and turmoil, over 240 years ago.
Freedom and independence means freedom of choice, freedom of movement, freedom of what to buy, freedom of what to wear, freedom of where to live, freedom of where to work, freedom on what and where to drive our cars, freedom to live on and use our land without undue government interference and our freedom to roam freely throughout America without having to go through check points and body searches. Government suspends that freedom when they lock us up in our homes, force us to wear masks, make it a mandate to get a vaccination, or demand that we carry a vaccination passport on our person wherever we go.
We are constantly subjected to the authority and jurisdiction of government, local, state and federal. We are continuously being influenced and manipulated by the dictates, propaganda, the lying, corruption and usurious taxation by government. We can't move sideways without butting heads with an out-of-control, arrogant bureaucrat operating under the color of law, to get some permit or license.
Way too many of us are DEPENDENT on government for our very existence. We, as a culture, are no longer competent, self-sufficient, self-reliant and responsible. Some of us are, but way too few. We have been bought, sold, conquered and enslaved without a shot being fired for a few pieces of silver and the loss of our pride and self-respect.
The truth is, America's government has gone way beyond what King George the III imposed upon the colonies. The people of America have allowed themselves to be enslaved by centralized government and have given up their right to freedom, liberty and independence, because they were and are unwilling to defend their freedom and liberty with whatever it takes. The desire for freedom has been replaced with the insatiable desire for comfort and entertainment. The people of Hong Kong have shown more courage than Americans. But by military force Hong Kong has been silenced by another tyrannical government, China.
As we stated previously, what we celebrate on the 4th of July is a myth and an illusion called freedom. We are not free. As a nation, we are no longer independent and self-reliant. In fact, most of us are so controlled by government and so dependent on government, they have slapped invisible handcuffs on each of us and confiscated our right of free choice and our right to live on our land, unfettered by government interference. Government no longer is restrained by the limits of the Constitution, nor does it uphold the God-given, unalienable rights of the individual, as it was mandated to do by that Constitution. We have been enslaved by millions of laws.
But we are a great and a "good" people and to our detriment our greatness and our goodness have been buried deep in forgotten memories and obscured by our very prosperity. This author believes deeply in freedom and liberty; a freedom and liberty for each individual; an individual freedom and liberty that is natural, as comes from nature or God, not from governments; a freedom and liberty that was envisioned by our Founding Fathers and codified into the law of man through our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. We believe that when governments, or groups of people attempt to stifle freedom and liberty, man's progress through time is depressed and he retreats further backwards into depravity, immorality and serfdom.
We believe that freedom and liberty are our strengths not our weakness and if we inhibit freedom by any means, we as a people become weaker. If we as a people become weaker, we lose our creative ability, we lose our ingenuity, we lose our industriousness, we lose our productivity, we lose our can-do spirit, we lose our pride in our accomplishments, we lose our strength and courage to right a wrong when we see it, we lose our generosity and finally, we lose our great goodness.
We believe that if the people look to government to solve their problems and acquiesce to its unauthorized power, they abdicate their duty and responsibility to control their own lives and hand it over to an aristocracy, or a king. Having done so, they are no longer free men. And further, their actions, or in-actions as the case may be, only encourage the government to usurp even greater power.
What America does, will determine the fate of the World. If we forsake freedom, if we sell our sovereignty for expediency or government handouts, if we descend into the murky waters of racism and Critical Race Theory, if we break the bonds of our Constitution, if we abdicate our right and duty to defend freedom for ourselves and future generations, we shall descend into the Hell, mediocrity, apathy and self loathing under which the rest of the world operates and will be pulled down to their level, never to rise again.
Only one country on Earth has shown the best in man and what can be accomplished under the combination of unalienable freedom and our God-given goodness. If we lose that freedom and the goodness that flourishes under it, we shall surely descend into the abyss of the evil within us, where greed and avarice are the rule, rather than the exception. We are dangerously close.
Freedom, liberty, independence and self-reliance are our heritage. It is those characteristics that made us one of the greatest, richest and most productive nations on Earth. If we refuse to defend and maintain it, we condemn all future generations, including our own children and grandchildren, to a life of dependency and the chains that come with being dependent. But even worse, we dishonor the memories and the sacrifices of all those who gave their lives, their limbs and their minds in the birth of freedom and in the defense of freedom is to be preserved.”
Perhaps now is the time to invoke “The Encirclement” or serve upon government “The Mandate.”

“The Normal, Reasonable and Prudent People
of America Will Eventually Win”
By Ron Ewart, President

WHAT IS NORMAL, REASONABLE AND PRUDENT IN LAW: “Reasonable or Prudent man is a hypothetical person used as a legal standard especially to determine whether someone acted with negligence. This hypothetical person exercises average care, skill, and judgment in conduct that society requires of its members for the protection of their own and of others' interests. The conduct of the reasonable man serves as a comparative standard for determining liability. For example, the decision whether an accused is guilty of a given offense might involve the application of an objective test in which the conduct of the accused is compared to that of a reasonable person under similar circumstances. Reasonable man is a term commonly used in tort and criminal law. This standard is used to judge the conduct of an ordinary person only. Usually persons with greater than average skills, or with special duties to society, are held to a higher standard of care. For example, a physician who aids a person in distress is held to a higher standard of care than is an ordinary person.” (Source: US Legal website – www.uslegal.com)
Insanity never lasts forever. It rises and falls like the tide. Sometimes high tide is a long time in coming but eventually it does, like so many natural rhythms in nature. Sadly, in America, we are in the throws of the low tide of insanity. Up is down. Right is left. Logic, reason and common sense have taken a holiday.
Foreign ideologues have taken over our world. The people are confused and frustrated with the policy makers. Problems that used to be manageable are now out of control, like voter fraud, crime, the border, the Wuhan virus and serious issues with the vaccine. Freedoms we once took for granted have evaporated under the governmental demands of public health and safety. The Constitution has been suspended or so perverted that it has become meaningless, if not irrelevant. We’ve got four-star generals mandating the teaching of racial gibberish to our troops and navy men under the so-called Critical Race Theory. We have a major crisis at our southern border, created on purpose by presidential executive orders.
Our foreign enemies have become emboldened because our projection of power has grown weak through negligence and appeasement by our elected leaders. The vision of those leaders for our nation has become grotesque and distorted and in many cases, insane, totally out of proportion with the logical realities, much less common sense.
When confronted with the facts, our leaders lie to us. Propaganda is the prevailing news of the day, not objective or observable events. Social media corporations, with immense financial and political power, filter our news for us, but always in line with their own agenda. Their agenda is full support for the socialist Democrat regime and censorship of any other ideology or information
Their alleged science is perverted and slanted in favor of the Democrat playbook or the prevailing so-called advice of our health agencies or weather predictors that have proven to be false. Science from credible sources is censored, omitted, restricted, altered, or pulled from the platform, never to be seen again.
In spite of all this turmoil, confusion and lies by those who would disrupt our ordered lives, tear down our institutions of freedom, weaken our military, erase our history and dismantle our Constitution, there are still people in America who are the epitome of normal, reasonable and prudent. They are the people who live out their lives with the love and the bond of family. They live in a world of gratitude, love, happiness and honor. They work hard and sometimes play hard. They believe in a higher order. They understand logic, reason and common sense. They have a deep sense of what is right and what is wrong. They reject White Supremacy and Critical Race Theory and other socialist ideology. They are the sane core and foundation of our culture. Some call them the silent majority.
Finally, after enduring the growing insanity of the left for way too many years, the normal, reasonable and prudent people are pushing back. The socialist Democrats finally went too far. Disgruntled parents are beginning to show up at school board meetings in large numbers and questioning the radical racial decisions of those who set school public school curriculums. The voters are recalling corrupt politicians. It’s quite likely that this dissatisfaction will extend to the voting booth come November of 2022. Still, one wonders why it took so long?
The endurance of the human species to the injustices of mankind, or the ravages of nature, are always an amazement to most of us. To endure poverty, or endless wars, or the cruelty and brutality of maniacal leaders, demonstrates undauntable human will and resilience. The preacher Edwin Hubbel Chapin wrote that, “Not in achievement, but in endurance, of the human soul, does it show its divine grandeur and its alliance with the infinite.” Nevertheless, how is it that we take so long to finally expel the bad guys?
If ever in American history was it more necessary for the normal, reasonable and prudent people of America to stand up and rise up against the tyranny and corruption of the vicious enemy that has invaded us and taken over our collective souls, it is now.
The invasion and corruption comes from two opposing and warring agendas. One of the agendas, the socialist side, is blatant, radical and in your face. The other agenda, the so-called conservative side, hides in the shadows and conducts its evil deeds behind closed doors. The socialist side believes in the privilege and superiority of the collective. The conservative side purports to be advocates for our individual freedom and unalienable rights but their actions speak otherwise.
Regretfully, it appears that both sides are equally corrupt. Both sides are the pawns of powerful lobbyists that get their way, even though “their way” goes against what is right in a just world. Power is the sustenance of the aristocrats and ruling class. Money is their God! They believe that fidelity and honor are for the stupid and naïve. Sexual lust rounds out the four corners of their reason for living.
Justice has become not what is equal under the law but who has the most money to buy the best lawyers and can pervert the law into whatever they want it to be. Jeffrey Epstein was a prime example that essentially got away with sodomizing under age girls using his wealth and power to further his deviant behavior. When he got caught and prosecuted for his heinous crimes his punishment was a slap on the wrist.
Justice used to be blind but now it wickedly winks and grins from behind the blindfold. The scales of justice have become lopsided in favor of the corrupt and powerful. Instead of exposing the corruption and the malfeasance of the powerful, the 4th estate has climbed into bed with the corrupt, powerful, dishonored and unholy. Instead of investigating and reporting, they lie, advocate and propagandize. Truth is the first casualty of a bastardized press.
When are the normal, reasonable and prudent people of America going to peacefully come to the rescue of freedom and individual rights, expose the corruption and restore honor, logic, reason and common sense to our daily lives. \When are they going to push the insane back into the asylum? It seems the push back is beginning to happen. If they don’t win now, they will win later because normal, reasonable and prudent are the natural order.
Still, the politically insane are radical, insidious, intolerant and tenacious. Effectively pushing them back to the asylum is not going to be easy. Nor is it a job for the few or the timid. It is a job for the tens of millions of the normal, reasonable and prudent persons among us.

Power is the sustenance of the aristocrats and ruling class. Money is their God! They believe that fidelity and honor are for the stupid and naïve. Sexual lust rounds out the four corners of their reason for living.
Justice has become not what is equal under the law but who has the most money to buy the best lawyers and can pervert the law into whatever they want it to be. Jeffrey Epstein was a prime example that essentially got away with sodomizing under age girls using his wealth and power to further his deviant behavior. When he got caught and prosecuted for his heinous crimes his punishment was a slap on the wrist.
Justice used to be blind but now it wickedly winks and grins from behind the blindfold. The scales of justice have become lopsided in favor of the corrupt and powerful. Instead of exposing the corruption and the malfeasance of the powerful, the 4th estate has climbed into bed with the corrupt, powerful, dishonored and unholy. Instead of investigating and reporting, they lie, advocate and propagandize. Truth is the first casualty of a bastardized press.
When are the normal, reasonable and prudent people of America going to peacefully come to the rescue of freedom and individual rights, expose the corruption and restore honor, logic, reason and common sense to our daily lives. \When are they going to push the insane back into the asylum? It seems the push back is beginning to happen. If they don’t win now, they will win later because normal, reasonable and prudent are the natural order.
Still, the politically insane are radical, insidious, intolerant and tenacious. Effectively pushing them back to the asylum is not going to be easy. Nor is it a job for the few or the timid. It is a job for the tens of millions of the normal, reasonable and prudent persons among us.

“What Is The Threshold At Which
Self-Government Won’t Work?”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

“America is the only nation in the world based on an idea - freedom and self-government - so if we don't understand that idea and what sacrifices were made to win that freedom and keep it for over two centuries, how can we possibly continue to keep it?” Eric Metaxas, an American Christian author, speaker, and conservative radio host
The full question is, can a nation of 330,000,000 people having different nationalities and cultures, competing interests and wide divisions in thought and ideology, govern themselves through a series of government representatives that include an executive, legislative and judicial branches of government? It is becoming increasingly unlikely that “of the people, by the people and for the people” will work in the real world of today.
Thomas Jefferson wrote to William Johnson in 1823 that, "Man is a rational animal, endowed by nature with rights, and with an innate sense of justice; and ... he can be restrained from wrong and protected in right, by moderate powers, confided to persons of his own choice, and held to their duties by dependence on his own will."
But the fact is, what we are witnessing today, man is no longer rational, being blinded by the lust for power and money. His restraints against the people from doing right or wrong are hardly moderate powers. Those governmental powers have instead become, by slow operations, dictatorial, authoritarian and despotic.
Federal government powers have far exceeded the seventeen (17) enumerated powers required by Article 1, Section 8 of the U. S. Constitution. They have essentially usurped states rights as contained in the 9th and 10th Amendments. The so-called “We The People” have become slaves and serfs to centralized government despotism once more, in the classic case of history repeating itself.
America has gone from representative government, to Progressivism, to socialism, to “wokeism” and finally to authoritarianism. Some insane men (and women) in pursuit of absolute power have forsaken the principles of “we the people” and representative government. They have thrown aside individual freedom and unalienable rights.
They have eroded property rights to the point of being meaningless under land use, zoning and environmental regulations and the never-ratified policy of UN’s Agenda 21.
They have opened up our borders, putting our national sovereignty, national security and national health at grave risk and burdening the American taxpayer to the tune of billions of dollars for the millions of illegal aliens entering America illegally each year. Sure, we’re a rich nation but why should we be rewarding people with taxpayer paid benefits who blatantly break our laws?
They have weaponized our law enforcement agencies in the DOJ and the FBI, our intelligence-gathering agencies like the CIA, the secret FISA court and the tax collection agencies like the IRS, against American citizens. There is some compelling evidence that the FBI was a co-conspirator of the mostly peaceful occupation of the Capitol Building on January 6th.
They force admirals to force navy men to listen to racial mush in the name of social justice and equity, dividing the navy men by race and accusing all white navy men as White Supremacists. The racial mush came from a required-reading book written by a black racial nut case, in just another version of Critical Race Theory. A navy, divided by race? Who thinks up this craziness? If our armed services are not colorblind, wars could be lost.
They have converted our public education system into social justice indoctrination centers instead of institutions of objective learning.
They have divided us into warring factions of race, gender, religion, creed and ethnicity.
They have destroyed the economics 101 principle of sound fiscal policy and spent America into oblivion ….. once again, to buy votes in the pursuit of absolute power. They have made this generation and future generations debt slaves to an exponentially rising national debt.
They have nationalized our health care system under the mis-named Affordable Care Act, making health care in America more complicated, less service oriented, more costly and under funded.
They have allowed crime to spiral out of control in our major cities under the Marxist ideology of Black Lives Matter and de-funding the police.
They are pursuing the fraud of Climate Change and forcing Americans to pay trillions of dollars to fix a naturally occurring weather event over which we have little to no control, by using outright lies and propaganda. Their science has been corrupted and is nothing more than research in search of a predetermined outcome and a flawed basis for their propaganda. (See: “Climate”)
They are trying to take away our major source of energy that drives our lives, economy and prosperity and shoving very expensive, inefficient, intermittent alternative energy down our throats.
They have shaped our foreign policy around the failed strategy of appeasement, where our enemies laugh at our weakness and lack of resolve.
But worse than all this, the people have stood by in apathy and disinterest and let it happen. Instead, the people have become addicted to the alleged personal “pleasures” of high tech, drugs, alcohol, cheap entertainment and debauchery.
Who is this “they” we are talking about? The “they” is primarily the Progressive, socialist, elitist Democrat Party, aided and abetted by academia, the news media and the all-powerful social media. The alleged conservatives have had a hand in the destruction as well, always in the name of politics, not principle.
It could be that we could govern ourselves if there weren’t so many forces trying to divide us, in their quest for absolute political power. We have been cast into a sea of “get the other guy” and class warfare, together with religious, race, gender and ethnic hatred.
We as people and as a nation are losing our honor, integrity and honesty that were the hallmark of our Judeo-Christian heritage. A nation without honor will not survive. It will eventually descend into chaos, corruption and a cultural breakdown. Some say we are already there.
Our values of right and wrong have become dangerously distorted. Up is down, right is left and sanity has morphed into inexplicable insanity. We have become a nation embroiled in anger and frustration, not life, liberty and happiness.
Given what has transpired in the last 100 years to America’s values and our freedom and power structure, one might ask if multi-culturalism can actually work. Ro Khanna, an American politician, lawyer, and academic serving as the U.S. Representative from California wrote, “The challenge for America is: can we become a multicultural, multiracial democracy? It would be historic. It would be America's greatest contribution to human civilization.“ The question is, is peaceful multi-culturalism attainable in a widely diverse population?
The gap between America’s two opposing sides is wide indeed and getting wider. The Progressive side wants absolute power in the form of an all-powerful centralized federal government, to the exclusion of any other ideology, spelling the death of federalism. The Conservative side wants to return to the principles of individual freedom as laid out in the Declaration of Independence and the U. S. Constitution. Until that gap significantly narrows, there will be no reconciliation or “e pluribus unum.” Right now there is no motivation on either side to come together.
What our current president is doing on so many issues is tearing down our long-standing institutions and culture and dividing us, not unifying us. Unity in mind, purpose and principle is a fading mirage on a far-off horizon. (See: “Without Adherence To Principle There Is Chaos”)
So what is the threshold of population before self-government is no longer possible? Or is there a threshold? Could it be that “Demographics Will Eventually Destroy our Founding Father’s Republic?”
Look what happened to the 13 colonies where freedom was born. At least eleven of the 13 colonies have, over time, turned Democrat socialist blue, primarily because socialism more easily gains a foothold in the populations of big cities and there are many big cities in the 13 colonies. The remaining two colonies aren’t far behind and will eventually turn blue. The rural areas of these states are predominantly red (conservative) but the rural vote is overwhelmed by the disparity in population from the big cities.
84% of America’s population occupies the big cities. Is it any wonder that America moves relentlessly towards socialism due to big city populations? The people get what they vote for and they are getting a boatload of socialism and totalitarianism under the Biden, Harris, Schumer and Pelosi regime.
America is no longer a Constitutional Republic. It is an aristocracy, run by aristocrats, where power is placed in the hands of a small, privileged ruling class who believe that they know more than anyone else and that gives them the authority to command obedience from the lower classes. They are not constrained by founding or outdated documents like the U. S. Constitution, which only serves as an impediment to their goals and objectives. That ruling class is the socialist Democrat Party.
Over 200 years ago, Thomas Jefferson prophetically wrote, "When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become corrupt as in Europe, and go to eating one another as they do there.”
Where are the voices of our Founding Fathers like Thomas Jefferson? Have they too become victims of our cancel culture used to quash conservative thought and principles? Are their words out of date, or passé in this fast moving World of high tech, plastic money, mind-altering substances, crushing debt and limitless entertainment? What can we expect when so many Americans are ignorant about civics and government in general? A significant percentage of the population can’t even name the current Vice President.
America’s motto is the Latin phrase “e pluribus unum,” meaning “out of many one.” The phrase appears on all of our currency and the dollar coin. Although we are “many,” we are hardly “one.” Can a nation, so divided, “not perish from this earth” as America forsakes freedom and individual liberty and jumps headlong into the “abyss of chaos, anarchy, despotism and authoritarianism?”
What is the threshold at which self-government will not work? We have already crossed over the threshold. It remains to be seen whether we can recover.
There might be a glimmer of hope out there as more and more Americans wake up to the realities of a system gone mad and start to push back. We are seeing some signs of the push back across the country. Hopefully, it will prove to be enough.

“The ICRC (International Red Cross) did not see Nazi Germany for what it was. Instead, the organization maintained the illusion that the Third Reich was a 'regular partner,' a state that occasionally violates laws, not unlike any army during World War II, occasionally using illegal means and methods of warfare.” Peter Maurer, Swiss diplomat who has been serving as the President of the International Committee of the Red Cross since 1 July 2012
Don’t you get it? We’ve seen this movie before, 90 years ago, with the rise of the Third Reich. If you aren’t scared, you damn well should be. The Red Cross and the Catholic Church all were complicit in looking the other way when it came to the Third Reich, just like corporate America and sports organizations are looking the other way when it comes to the atrocities of the Chinese Communist Party and its goal to dominate the world with military and economic might under a Chinese superpower regime.
England’s Neville Chamberlain thought he could appease and make nice with the Germans. He gave in to German demands and left Czechoslovakia helpless against the German war machine. History told us how that turned out. Six million European Jews died brutally and needlessly. Are we not doing the same thing with China?
America won two world wars because it could manufacture the weapons of war very rapidly and had the best war machines and military training in the world. Even so, Germany and Japan although much smaller, proved to be formidable enemies that took four years to vanquish with a huge loss of life. America just might lose a war with China.
China, a nation of 1.4 billion people, can also produce weapons of war very rapidly. They have the natural resources and the manpower to do it, along with the technology they stole from America. Through admittance to the World Trade Organization and corporate greed, America handed over the keys to the kingdom to China as American corporations exploited cheap Chinese labor. With all that money and the technology they took from America, they are “buying up” and populating the planet.
In a Department of Defense Report entitled, “Military and Security Developments Involving the People’s Republic of China (2020)” they stated that:
“The PLA’s (People’s Liberation Army) objective is to become a “world-class” military by the end of 2049—a goal first announced by General Secretary Xi Jinping in 2017. Although the CCP has not defined what a “world-class” military means, within the context of the PRC’s national strategy it is likely that Beijing will seek to develop a military by mid-century that is equal to—or in some cases superior to—the U.S. military, or that of any other great power that the PRC views as a threat. As this year’s report details, the PRC has marshalled the resources, technology, and political will over the past two decades to strengthen and modernize the PLA in nearly every respect. Indeed, as this report shows, China is already ahead of the United States in certain areas such as:”
“Shipbuilding: The PRC has the largest navy in the world, with an overall battle force of approximately 350 ships and submarines including over 130 major surface combatants. In comparison, the U.S. Navy’s battle force is approximately 293 ships as of early 2020.”
“Land-based conventional ballistic and cruise missiles: The PRC has more than 1,250 ground-launched ballistic missiles (GLBMs) and ground-launched cruise missiles (GLCMs) with ranges between 500 and 5,500 kilometers. The United States currently fields one type of conventional GLBM with a range of 70 to 300 kilometers and no GLCMs.”
“Integrated air defense systems: The PRC has one of the world’s largest forces of advanced long-range surface-to-air systems—including Russian-built S-400s, S-300s, and domestically produced systems—that constitute part of its robust and redundant integrated air defense system architecture.”
“More striking than the PLA’s staggering amounts of new military hardware are the recent sweeping efforts taken by CCP leaders that include completely restructuring the PLA into a force better suited for joint operations, improving the PLA’s overall combat readiness, encouraging the PLA to embrace new operational concepts, and expanding the PRC’s overseas military footprint.”
In spite of China’s military and economic threat to America’s superiority, our lame brain president is going all over the world telling everyone that Climate Change is America’s greatest threat. To add insult to injury President Biden’s budget decreases the amount for military spending and ends the off-budget funding pool for the Overseas Contingency Operations, shrugging off the China threat.
In contrast, China is increasing its footprint around the globe with strategic ports and even a 200 square mile wind farm in Texas, virtually adjacent to Laughlin Air Force Base. How did America let that happen?
It is projecting its military might into the South China Sea and threatening Taiwan almost daily with incursions into Taiwan air and sea space. It has flagrantly violated the terms of the Hong Kong handover to China and subjected the inhabitants of Hong Kong to over-aggressive, brutal Chinese rule. Get out of line and you go to jail, or you just disappear.
“China has put more new vessels to sea between 2014 and 2018 than the total number of ships in the German, Indian, Spanish and British navies combined.” (Source: “Carnegie Endowment For International Peace”)
To this day, China is refusing to allow access to the Wuhan Virus Laboratory for investigators to determine if the Coronavirus was accidentally or purposely unleashed on the planet from the Lab, a lethal virus that has infected close to 180,000,000 people and killed almost 4,000,000. By now lab scientists have disappeared and most of the evidence of a leak, accidental or purposeful, has long since been destroyed.
None of these revelations consider the possibility of a Russia-China alliance to counter American military might, or the combined threats of China, Russia, Iran and North Korea, should these four countries forge a mutual, military alliance.
General Milley of the Joint Chief’s of Staff just recently testified before Congress that: “China is increasing its military capability at a very serious and sustained rate. We must ensure that we retain our competitive and technological edge.”
Two world wars using mostly conventional weapons (except in two cases) killed at least 100,000,000 people. Can you imagine a world war where nuclear weapons are employed? The death toll would be staggering and it could border on human extinction.
Meanwhile, the President of the United States is trying convince Americans that the fraud of man-caused global warming (See “Climate”) is the world’s greatest threat and coupled with the Green New Deal we have to spend somewhere around 100 Trillion dollars to counter that threat. That’s not just gross negligence and stupidity. It is criminally insane.
The President and the Secretary of Defense are shoving this reverse racism Critical Race Theory (CRT), inclusion and equity garbage on the officers and ranks of our military and degrading military readiness in the process. The military top brass, under the direction of the Secretary of Defense, are purging what they call “White Supremacists” (Trump voters) from the ranks. There is significant dissension rippling through the services.
Huge American military industrial complex corporations that rake in billions of taxpayer dollars are doing the same thing to their executives and lower-tier employees and making (CRT) a condition of employment. This is a form of intentional national suicide. Extreme ruler Xi Zinping and China’s CCP must be literally “laughing” their heads off at America’s obsession with race and social phobia. (See: “When Are White Males Going To Walk Out of CRT Training?”)
Although the number of Chinese national students in U. S. colleges has fallen sharply because of the pandemic, still in 2019 there were almost 400,000 Chinese nationals enrolled in American colleges. If just a small percentage of these students were Chinese spies or CCP operatives, they could do a lot of damage to national security before they were detected. A coordinated effort by a small number of Chinese individuals could interrupt or critically damage our easily accessed energy and food supply infrastructures. And it wouldn’t have to be by direct physical action to inflict damage. It could be by internal cyber attacks. America’s infrastructure is negligently vulnerable to foreign enemy attacks as we outlined in our article entitled: “An RPG, EMP, or Hacker Could Turn Our Lights Off”). As so many are fond of saying, “when is somebody going to fix it?”
For over 10 years America’s leaders watched as Hitler and Tojo built up their war machines. Ladies and gentlemen, if America looks the other way again and ignores the ominous threat from China, someday your children will be speaking Mandarin Chinese and once again a megalomaniac will attempt to conquer the peoples of the world and in the process send planet earth back to the stone age where the only survivors, if there are any, will be living in deep underground caves. The surface of the earth will be too contaminated, with some of the nuclear radiation having half-lives of 24,000 years.
It is more than likely that the only real threat to America are socialist Democrat voters, a President and Vice President and a Democrat Congress that are completely out of touch with reality. They are purposely sabotaging America’s sovereignty, national and border security, military cohesiveness and readiness, the rule of law, its culture and its foundation for freedom. There is only one word that describes their actions: TREASON!

“The PLA’s (People’s Liberation Army) objective is to become a “world-class” military by the end of 2049—a goal first announced by General Secretary Xi Jinping in 2017. Although the CCP has not defined what a “world-class” military means, within the context of the PRC’s national strategy it is likely that Beijing will seek to develop a military by mid-century that is equal to—or in some cases superior to—the U.S. military, or that of any other great power that the PRC views as a threat. As this year’s report details, the PRC has marshalled the resources, technology, and political will over the past two decades to strengthen and modernize the PLA in nearly every respect. Indeed, as this report shows, China is already ahead of the United States in certain areas such as:”
“Shipbuilding: The PRC has the largest navy in the world, with an overall battle force of approximately 350 ships and submarines including over 130 major surface combatants. In comparison, the U.S. Navy’s battle force is approximately 293 ships as of early 2020.”
“Land-based conventional ballistic and cruise missiles: The PRC has more than 1,250 ground-launched ballistic missiles (GLBMs) and ground-launched cruise missiles (GLCMs) with ranges between 500 and 5,500 kilometers. The United States currently fields one type of conventional GLBM with a range of 70 to 300 kilometers and no GLCMs.”
“Integrated air defense systems: The PRC has one of the world’s largest forces of advanced long-range surface-to-air systems—including Russian-built S-400s, S-300s, and domestically produced systems—that constitute part of its robust and redundant integrated air defense system architecture.”
“More striking than the PLA’s staggering amounts of new military hardware are the recent sweeping efforts taken by CCP leaders that include completely restructuring the PLA into a force better suited for joint operations, improving the PLA’s overall combat readiness, encouraging the PLA to embrace new operational concepts, and expanding the PRC’s overseas military footprint.”
In spite of China’s military and economic threat to America’s superiority, our lame brain president is going all over the world telling everyone that Climate Change is America’s greatest threat. To add insult to injury President Biden’s budget decreases the amount for military spending and ends the off-budget funding pool for the Overseas Contingency Operations, shrugging off the China threat.
In contrast, China is increasing its footprint around the globe with strategic ports and even a 200 square mile wind farm in Texas, virtually adjacent to Laughlin Air Force Base. How did America let that happen?
It is projecting its military might into the South China Sea and threatening Taiwan almost daily with incursions into Taiwan air and sea space. It has flagrantly violated the terms of the Hong Kong handover to China and subjected the inhabitants of Hong Kong to over-aggressive, brutal Chinese rule. Get out of line and you go to jail, or you just disappear.
“China has put more new vessels to sea between 2014 and 2018 than the total number of ships in the German, Indian, Spanish and British navies combined.” (Source: “Carnegie Endowment For International Peace”)
To this day, China is refusing to allow access to the Wuhan Virus Laboratory for investigators to determine if the Coronavirus was accidentally or purposely unleashed on the planet from the Lab, a lethal virus that has infected close to 180,000,000 people and killed almost 4,000,000. By now lab scientists have disappeared and most of the evidence of a leak, accidental or purposeful, has long since been destroyed.
None of these revelations consider the possibility of a Russia-China alliance to counter American military might, or the combined threats of China, Russia, Iran and North Korea, should these four countries forge a mutual, military alliance.
General Milley of the Joint Chief’s of Staff just recently testified before Congress that: “China is increasing its military capability at a very serious and sustained rate. We must ensure that we retain our competitive and technological edge.”
Two world wars using mostly conventional weapons (except in two cases) killed at least 100,000,000 people. Can you imagine a world war where nuclear weapons are employed? The death toll would be staggering and it could border on human extinction.
Meanwhile, the President of the United States is trying convince Americans that the fraud of man-caused global warming (See “Climate”) is the world’s greatest threat and coupled with the Green New Deal we have to spend somewhere around 100 Trillion dollars to counter that threat. That’s not just gross negligence and stupidity. It is criminally insane.
The President and the Secretary of Defense are shoving this reverse racism Critical Race Theory (CRT), inclusion and equity garbage on the officers and ranks of our military and degrading military readiness in the process. The military top brass, under the direction of the Secretary of Defense, are purging what they call “White Supremacists” (Trump voters) from the ranks. There is significant dissension rippling through the services.
Huge American military industrial complex corporations that rake in billions of taxpayer dollars are doing the same thing to their executives and lower-tier employees and making (CRT) a condition of employment. This is a form of intentional national suicide. Extreme ruler Xi Zinping and China’s CCP must be literally “laughing” their heads off at America’s obsession with race and social phobia. (See: “When Are White Males Going To Walk Out of CRT Training?”)
Although the number of Chinese national students in U. S. colleges has fallen sharply because of the pandemic, still in 2019 there were almost 400,000 Chinese nationals enrolled in American colleges. If just a small percentage of these students were Chinese spies or CCP operatives, they could do a lot of damage to national security before they were detected. A coordinated effort by a small number of Chinese individuals could interrupt or critically damage our easily accessed energy and food supply infrastructures. And it wouldn’t have to be by direct physical action to inflict damage. It could be by internal cyber attacks. America’s infrastructure is negligently vulnerable to foreign enemy attacks as we outlined in our article entitled: “An RPG, EMP, or Hacker Could Turn Our Lights Off”). As so many are fond of saying, “when is somebody going to fix it?”
For over 10 years America’s leaders watched as Hitler and Tojo built up their war machines. Ladies and gentlemen, if America looks the other way again and ignores the ominous threat from China, someday your children will be speaking Mandarin Chinese and once again a megalomaniac will attempt to conquer the peoples of the world and in the process send planet earth back to the stone age where the only survivors, if there are any, will be living in deep underground caves. The surface of the earth will be too contaminated, with some of the nuclear radiation having half-lives of 24,000 years.
It is more than likely that the only real threat to America are socialist Democrat voters, a President and Vice President and a Democrat Congress that are completely out of touch with reality. They are purposely sabotaging America’s sovereignty, national and border security, military cohesiveness and readiness, the rule of law, its culture and its foundation for freedom. There is only one word that describes their actions: TREASON!

“Why Do Conservative Authors and

“When you create Hope in people, you create expectations. When you do not fulfill those expectations, when the change becomes more of the same old, same old, the Hope that was created can only turn to anger, frustration and bitter disappointment”. Vermin Supreme, American performance artist, politician and activist
How do you change a prevailing mindset where over half the population is deeply convinced that what they believe is the absolute truth? We have republished a colloquial response we received to one of our articles back during the Obama presidential race in 2008, from a person who holds those beliefs. He’s not alone. We believe this person is representative of millions of socialist Democrat Americans.
"Sir: You are a complete and utter imbecile! Barack Obama is NOT a "fraud and a phony!" In fact he is probably the best thing ever to happen to America, the greatest president in US history and the man who has saved America from near destruction at the hands of the GOP, the imbecile George W. Bush and the de facto former president, the monstrously evil Dick Cheney, who makes Benedict Arnold look like a saint!
"Donald ‘Chump’ is a crude, vulgar, loud-mouthed POS who has no more business being president than Kim Kardashian."
"He is a lousy businessman whose businesses have consistently gone bankrupt. Anyone who thinks he would be a good president is an idiot! Not one of the GOP candidates is even remotely fit to be president and each one would be absolutely catastrophic for this country and the world!"
"Hillary Clinton is America's only hope - we cannot afford to elect another GOP imbecile president next year."
"You are more full of it than all the sewers of the world combined! The GOP has been hijacked by the Christian lunatics of the religious right and has become the most evil, corrupt and dangerous organization on the planet. Who needs Iran, the Taliban, Al Qaeda and ISIS to destroy America now that we have our own Christian Taliban in our own back yard? Wake up, dude!"
No conservative author or radio talk show host is going to change this person’s mind and yet this person, with his vote, along with millions of other like-minded persons that believes the way he does, can determine the direction that America is headed. That downward direction became a reality with the election of Joe Biden as president on November 3rd, 2020.
Since President Johnson’s Great Society in 1963 and probably many years before, conservatives have been battling this false ideology that has taken hold in America since the birth of the Progressive movement in the late 1800’s. We have allowed it to become embedded in all of our laws and institutions. Even corporate America has joined with Progressives and has become advocates and mouthpieces for the Progressive movement. Americans have seen and had to endure the degradation of American culture, sovereignty and national pride at the hands of mostly big-city Democrats.
From the riots, looting and burning in the 1960’s to the riots, looting and burning of 2020, the transformation of America from a Constitutional Republic to an Absolute Democrat Monarchy took place slowly, before our eyes, despite the heroic efforts of many conservative authors and TV and radio talk show hosts to stop it.
For 32 years Rush Limbaugh plied the airways and was the undisputed voice of the conservative movement on talk radio. In spite of his efforts the socialist Democrats grew and kept coming.
Mike Gallagher, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, Tucker Carlson, Mark Levin and Sean Hannity (and others too many to list here) all echoed the conservative ideology, but the socialist Democrats grew and kept coming.
Thousands of conservative authors (including this author) have shared their thoughts and ideas in on-line magazines, newspapers and blogs all across the Internet and in major publications. Many of them are excellent writers and capable of creating cogent articles with solid ideas and facts to back them up. Nevertheless, the socialist Democrats grew and kept coming.
How do you compete against a political force that uses your money to buy off a good chunk of the population for their votes? That has been the socialist Democrat battle plan to hold onto political power for at least the last 100 years. People are weak and will fall for the “free” money every time, not realizing that their freedom was being bought as well. Right now, there are jobs a plenty, but people won’t go back to work because the government is paying them a tax-free living wage to do nothing but sit on their couches, watch TV and munch on snack food.
Albert Einstein once said that, “doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results” is the very definition of insanity.
So why do conservative authors and radio talk show hosts “do the same thing over and over again, year after year, expecting different results” while the socialist Democrats grow and keep coming. It is inescapable. Demographics work against conservatives. (See: “Demographics Will Eventually Destroy Our Founding Father’s Republic”)
Most of the “fundamental transformation” described and implemented by President Obama came as a result of big cities.
During the industrial revolution, as industries started sprouting up around big cities that provided the labor to keep those industries thriving and alive, people started moving off of the farms and headed for the big cities, where jobs were available and eking out a living was not quite as problematic. But for all actions, there are usually unintended consequences and such it was as city populations grew.
Sometimes the jobs would dry up as the industrial revolution evolved and technology, markets and fortunes ebbed and flowed. Sometimes large segments of the city populations would be out of work when a large manufacturer closed down. The Great Depression came along in the late 1920's and large percentages of city populations could not find a job. City folk had no way to produce the food, clothing and shelter they needed to survive. In contrast, their country cousins could grow what they needed, had a roof over their heads and could live off of the land, no matter how primitive it might be. If they had a little extra, they would help out their neighbors, who by circumstances may have been a little less well off. Civility and mutual respect were the rural landowner's creed and still is for the most part today.
Not so in big cities. The fact is, a hungry belly has nothing to lose by petitioning (or protesting) their government for a handout and civility is the last thing on their minds. Where else can they go but the government? If people are hungry enough, or are beset by perceived injustices, they have nothing to lose by resorting to violence. The government was all-too-willing to provide that handout and thus socialism was born and socialism is where we are today because way too many people live in big cities and are incapable of helping themselves when times get tough.
Big cities are largely socialist strongholds, run by socialist Democrats. Big city votes drive and determine the outcome of any election, whether presidential election or mid term. Big city voters keep electing the same big-city Democrats year, after year, after year. Chuck Shumer has been in Congress for 22 years. Nancy Pelosi has been there for 33 years. This is true for Republicans as well. Too many serve for far too long and the country suffers for it.
In 2020 big-city population was 83% of the total population that largely vote Democrat. The illegal aliens that are jumping our borders will vote Democrat in large numbers, if they are granted amnesty. All the conservative authors and radio talk show hosts in America can’t change that no matter how hard they try. So why do they try? Is there not a better way?
In fact, these authors and TV and radio talk show hosts, “Create hope in people and create expectations. When you do not fulfill those expectations, when the change becomes more of the same old, same old, the hope that was created can only turn to anger, frustration and bitter disappointment.” And it has.
We receive response after response to our articles from people who have seen their expectations dashed and their hope evaporate. Most of those responses are from people over 70 who have a much greater perspective of where America was and is headed for, as compared to the less experienced, younger generation. Watching the Biden Administration rip apart the very fabric of our culture, laws, sovereignty and exposes all of us to national security threats and rampant crime with open borders, adds to their frustration and hopelessness. Conservatives have no peaceful way to stop it.
Democrats are trying to shove the fraud of climate change and the very costly Green New Deal down our throats. They even invented a new slang term to describe their lust for social issues to buy even more votes. The new term is “woke” and its derivation comes from an African-American vernacular dialect.
They are using race and race baiting to divide us. Critical Race Theory, (CRT) a reverse racism curriculum, is used to poison the next generation in our public schools and colleges and indoctrinate white corporate executives and lower tier corporate and government employees into believing that whites are systemically racist. (See: “When Are White Males Going To Walk Out of CRT Training”)
Socialist Democrats are using every political trick in the book to make America into a one-party nation, with all other debate censored or quashed. They have powerful, influential high tech companies, academia and the news media to back them up. This has led to an unbalanced two-tier justice system. Absolute power is their goal no matter what method they choose, legal or illegal, to reach that goal. They have been hugely successful in spite of the conservative authors and TV and radio talk show hosts that have tried to stop them.
If conservative authors and radio and TV talk show hosts can’t convey a message that changes the mindset of millions of Democrat Americans, they are truly wasting their time and preaching to the choir. We do not mean to demean their efforts, much of it being heroic. It is just unlikely that they will ever be able to compete with “free stuff” from government.
Our only real hope is that the socialist Democrats will go too far and the shift in the mindset of millions of Americans will flip to conservative principles overnight. But we don’t recommend that you hold your breath in anticipation of such an event any time soon.

“When Are White Males Going To
Walk Out Of CRT Training?”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

“Race is suddenly all the rage. Employees, students, parents [and corporations] are being inundated with ‘anti-racism’ training programs and school curricula that insist America was built on white supremacy. Anyone who raises even the slightest objection is often deemed irredeemably racist. But what if the impetus behind a particular type of race-based training programs and curricula we see spreading at the moment is not exclusively, or even primarily, about skin color? What if race is just a façade for a particular strain of thought? What if what stands behind all this is the old, color-blind utopian dream of uniting the ‘workers of the world,’ and eradicating capitalism? If this all sounds very Marxist, it should. All the giants in whiteness studies, from Noel Ignatiev, to David Roediger, to their ideological lodestar, W.E.B. Du Bois—who first coined the term ‘whiteness’ to begin with—were Marxist. In the cases of Ignatiev and Du Bois, they were actual Communist Party members.” Mike Gonzalez, American former professional baseball pitcher.
Anyone paying attention knows what Critical Race Theory (CRT) is. What is baffling is why isn’t it rejected anywhere and everywhere it pops up, like in schools and colleges, corporations, boardrooms and the government bureaucracy? How did CRT get so embedded in all of our institutions? Why are millions of Americans going along with it? Who is behind this treasonous ideology that would rip apart the fabric of our society and whip up dissension between the White and Black races?
It is an absolute travesty that this garbage is being taught in our schools and parents had better rise up and stop it before any more damage is done to the brains of our little ones.
But what is even more alarming is that CRT is now taking place in major corporations throughout America like Lockheed Martin, Coco Cola and Delta Airlines. CRT is a direct attack on our capitalistic system and free market society and it is based on the false premise of systemic racism.
For three straight days top executives at Lockheed Martin are forced to listen to this bilge as a condition of employment. They are told that White male “rugged individualism”, “can-do attitude”, “hard work”, “operating from principles” and “striving towards success” are devastating towards minorities (Blacks) and women. Poor babies. It would appear from this that minorities (Blacks) and women just aren’t up to the task and are unable to compete. Whose fault is that, certainly not White males?
Capitalism is a highly competitive system and only the cream of the crop rise to the top. Yes, nepotism and favoritism are in their somewhere but not on a huge scale. Capitalism is not always fair, nor is it a perfect system, but it works better than any other economic system.
Nevertheless, socialist Democrats, in the name of equity, want to tear down a good working system and convert it to abject mediocrity so that Blacks and women can compete. It reeks of affirmative action and pandering to Blacks. (See: “To Prop Up The Black Race We’re Dumbing Down the White Race”)
May we strongly suggest that if White males didn’t hold these traits, a continent would not have been conquered, the trains would have never run, big city buildings would have not risen to the skies, two world wars would not have been won and America would have never been built. (See: “White Men Built America”)
But what is more unfathomable is why top executives and lower tier employees of the corporate world and the government bureaucracy take it? Why don’t White males give the proverbial finger to the CRT class trainer and walk out en masse? If they did it together, the company couldn’t and wouldn’t fire them. They would cancel the CRT training sessions.
Are there no men left in America? Did we train the fight out of them? Must they prostrate themselves before the almighty God of corporate Marxism and capitulate? Do they not know that by bowing to corporate pressure they are victims of reverse racism and engaging in their own self-flagellation?
If white males won’t stand up against CRT, why would we think they would stand up against government tyranny and defend freedom? What happened to the American men that won two world wars? Have White males become pansies? Are they the flower children of America, high on drugs with their personal pride and dignity put away wet in a dark closet?
CRT is part of a much larger global plan to subjugate the masses. The global plan includes breaking down the family structure; drastically changing the English language and the meaning of words for the purpose of confusion; socially brainwashing the children through public schools; making all citizens dependent on government; sanctifying abnormal behavior; demeaning cultural norms; breaking down our religious heritages; allowing criminals to go free and crime to flourish; creating a virtual lawless society; de-funding and demeaning the police; tearing down national sovereignty; the implementation of massive new laws and regulations; censoring all other thought, ideas and ideologies that don’t fit the Progressive-Marxist narrative; increasing the national debt until all current and future citizens are debt slaves or indentured servants and confiscating the citizens wealth through usurious taxes.
Corporate executives have become nothing more than mirror images of their government masters, or is it partners? This cozy relationship started over 100 years ago with the rise of the Progressive movement. It is entrenched in all of our institutions. It is Marxist by act and deed! It is anti-American on its face and unconstitutional in its content. So why do Americans tolerate it?
We are Americans. The blood of heroes and patriots courses through our arteries and veins. Millions of men and women have paid the ultimate sacrifice and many have been maimed for life so that the rest of us can stand free on a new continent, where freedom was born.
We are the descendants of those whose spine was stiffened by courage when their country called, or evil raised its ugly head. We are the direct lineage of the men and women whose intellect and fortitude carried them to new heights and made America the greatest, proudest, industrious, creative, productive and most generous nation on Earth. We are the sons, daughters, grandsons and grand daughters of those who stood up to tyranny, no matter what the cost. The genes of creators, inventors, hard workers, the educated, the warriors and those in service to others, are an integral part of our DNA and it lies dormant in our being until it is called upon to do good ..... or destroy evil. And yes, we are “rugged individualists” with a “can-do attitude.” We believe in “hard work”, “operating from principles” and “striving towards success” no matter whether “minorities (Blacks) or women are devastated.“ These attributes built a free nation never seen before on mother earth.
True Americans are not whiners and they are not losers, no matter what their race or gender. And that goes for Blacks and women who refuse to accept the “victim” label. They are doers and winners. When an obstacle is in front of them they go around it, or under it, or over it, as the situation warrants. They build things they don't tear them down. They invent things to make our lives a little easier, or increase our health and life span, or so that we can get a job done quicker, or yes, even go faster. Americans are the givers and preservers of life, not the takers of life. Americans believe that life is precious and a gift from God and its preservation is a prime imperative.
Proud and brave Americans have been the victors in two world wars and the sacrifice of those men and women have lifted over a billion people out of bondage and shown them that freedom is the natural order, not slavery. Unfortunately, we have engaged in wars of late where victory was not the goal and Americans have paid a high price for our government's dereliction of duty to those who must fight our wars. That dereliction is now abundantly evident in our current Commander-in-Chief, who labors over endless detail, political expediency and socialist doctrine, while brave Americans are dying on the front lines of our enemies. On this Memorial Day we salute all those who were called upon, living or dead, to defend this nation with their lives.
Americans are the light to the rest of the world, not because we are better than anyone else, but because we live under the bright light of liberty that frees us to climb the highest mountains, or jump off this once giant planet into the vastness of space, where only the brave dare tread, in search of the secrets of our island Universe.
So if this is all true and it is, “When are White Males Going To Reject Reverse Racism and Walk Out Of Corporate and Government CRT Training”, en masse while thumbing their collective middle fingers at the idiots that dream up, teach and promote this insanity. Americans don’t have to give in to this: “You Caused It, You’re Guilty, Shut Up and Comply!” mentality.

Anyone paying attention knows what Critical Race Theory (CRT) is. What is baffling is why isn’t it rejected anywhere and everywhere it pops up, like in schools and colleges, corporations, boardrooms and the government bureaucracy? How did CRT get so embedded in all of our institutions? Why are millions of Americans going along with it? Who is behind this treasonous ideology that would rip apart the fabric of our society and whip up dissension between the White and Black races?
It is an absolute travesty that this garbage is being taught in our schools and parents had better rise up and stop it before any more damage is done to the brains of our little ones.
But what is even more alarming is that CRT is now taking place in major corporations throughout America like Lockheed Martin, Coco Cola and Delta Airlines. CRT is a direct attack on our capitalistic system and free market society and it is based on the false premise of systemic racism.
For three straight days top executives at Lockheed Martin are forced to listen to this bilge as a condition of employment. They are told that White male “rugged individualism”, “can-do attitude”, “hard work”, “operating from principles” and “striving towards success” are devastating towards minorities (Blacks) and women. Poor babies. It would appear from this that minorities (Blacks) and women just aren’t up to the task and are unable to compete. Whose fault is that, certainly not White males?
Capitalism is a highly competitive system and only the cream of the crop rise to the top. Yes, nepotism and favoritism are in their somewhere but not on a huge scale. Capitalism is not always fair, nor is it a perfect system, but it works better than any other economic system.
Nevertheless, socialist Democrats, in the name of equity, want to tear down a good working system and convert it to abject mediocrity so that Blacks and women can compete. It reeks of affirmative action and pandering to Blacks. (See: “To Prop Up The Black Race We’re Dumbing Down the White Race”)
May we strongly suggest that if White males didn’t hold these traits, a continent would not have been conquered, the trains would have never run, big city buildings would have not risen to the skies, two world wars would not have been won and America would have never been built. (See: “White Men Built America”)
But what is more unfathomable is why top executives and lower tier employees of the corporate world and the government bureaucracy take it? Why don’t White males give the proverbial finger to the CRT class trainer and walk out en masse? If they did it together, the company couldn’t and wouldn’t fire them. They would cancel the CRT training sessions.
Are there no men left in America? Did we train the fight out of them? Must they prostrate themselves before the almighty God of corporate Marxism and capitulate? Do they not know that by bowing to corporate pressure they are victims of reverse racism and engaging in their own self-flagellation?
If white males won’t stand up against CRT, why would we think they would stand up against government tyranny and defend freedom? What happened to the American men that won two world wars? Have White males become pansies? Are they the flower children of America, high on drugs with their personal pride and dignity put away wet in a dark closet?
CRT is part of a much larger global plan to subjugate the masses. The global plan includes breaking down the family structure; drastically changing the English language and the meaning of words for the purpose of confusion; socially brainwashing the children through public schools; making all citizens dependent on government; sanctifying abnormal behavior; demeaning cultural norms; breaking down our religious heritages; allowing criminals to go free and crime to flourish; creating a virtual lawless society; de-funding and demeaning the police; tearing down national sovereignty; the implementation of massive new laws and regulations; censoring all other thought, ideas and ideologies that don’t fit the Progressive-Marxist narrative; increasing the national debt until all current and future citizens are debt slaves or indentured servants and confiscating the citizens wealth through usurious taxes.
Corporate executives have become nothing more than mirror images of their government masters, or is it partners? This cozy relationship started over 100 years ago with the rise of the Progressive movement. It is entrenched in all of our institutions. It is Marxist by act and deed! It is anti-American on its face and unconstitutional in its content. So why do Americans tolerate it?
We are Americans. The blood of heroes and patriots courses through our arteries and veins. Millions of men and women have paid the ultimate sacrifice and many have been maimed for life so that the rest of us can stand free on a new continent, where freedom was born.
We are the descendants of those whose spine was stiffened by courage when their country called, or evil raised its ugly head. We are the direct lineage of the men and women whose intellect and fortitude carried them to new heights and made America the greatest, proudest, industrious, creative, productive and most generous nation on Earth. We are the sons, daughters, grandsons and grand daughters of those who stood up to tyranny, no matter what the cost. The genes of creators, inventors, hard workers, the educated, the warriors and those in service to others, are an integral part of our DNA and it lies dormant in our being until it is called upon to do good ..... or destroy evil. And yes, we are “rugged individualists” with a “can-do attitude.” We believe in “hard work”, “operating from principles” and “striving towards success” no matter whether “minorities (Blacks) or women are devastated.“ These attributes built a free nation never seen before on mother earth.

“An RPG, EMP, Or Hacker Could Turn Our Lights Off”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

“No electricity, no hot water, no heat - at times, we struggled. We'd wake up in the morning and wash with water we heated on a hot plate. And we'd go to bed at night wearing skull caps, sweat shirts, and gloves”. Jalen Rose, American former professional basketball player
“We forget just how painfully dim the world was before electricity. A candle, a good candle, provides barely a hundredth of the illumination of a single 100 watt light bulb.” Bill Bryson, American–British author of books on travel, the English language and science
Did you ever wonder what it would be like to live without electricity? There are so many things that you rely on in your everyday life that depend on 120 Volts AC being readily available at the sockets around your home, or the 240 volts required for your electric clothes dryer and your electric water heater. There would be no more water, sewer, or electricity because the pumps wouldn’t be working and the generators wouldn’t be turning.
Your lights, refrigerator, your electric stove, your television, your radio, your furnace or air conditioner, your garage door opener, or your charger that charges up your Iphone or computer would cease to operate. Tens of thousands of cell phone towers all over America that relay tens of millions of phone calls would cease to function after their back up batteries were depleted.
Think of the items in your home that require batteries. No, no more batteries and no more smoke detectors because without electricity batteries could no longer be manufactured. Your flashlights would no longer work as your existing batteries lose their charge over time.
The trains wouldn’t work. Mass transit would be shut down. Airplanes wouldn’t fly and cars and trucks wouldn’t drive and all the traffic lights would be out. The elevators in multi-story buildings would stop and bridges would be stuck in the position they were in when the power went off, up or down.
You know all those trucks with which you share the road? Those trucks bring food to your local grocery store. But they would all stop. The shelves of remaining food would empty in just hours due to hoarding. Where are you going to get your food when it runs out?
The hospitals would be shuttered. Police, fire and emergency medical technician (EMT’s) vehicles would no longer run without fuel. Even worse than that, our military bases would be shut down. That could potentially be a devastating national security issue, opening America up to attack by a major super power.
Oh sure, you could buy a generator to power some of the items in your home but generators need fuel to operate. Without electricity not only could you not manufacture fuel, the pumps at the gas station where you get the fuel would be out of service for lack of electricity, or the tanks would be empty.
Without electricity our lives would be pushed back to the pioneer days with candles and outhouses. We’d have to walk or take our bicycles to where we wanted to go. (See “Back To the Future”)
Do you have any idea how easy it would be for a foreign enemy, terrorist, or hacker to take out the entire electric grid in the United States that could take weeks or months to fix? Are you prepared to live without electricity for weeks or months? Not likely. People would die by the millions just from starvation. Gangs would form and they would steal and loot to get what they want and they would do it with guns. Anarchy and chaos would reign as the people did everything they could to survive. America that operates under the rule of law, for all intents and purposes, would be lawless.
The most effective way to take down America’s grid is from what are called EMP’s, or electric magnetic pulses. All major foreign super powers have EMP bombs in their nuclear stockpiles. Setting off two EMP nuclear bombs in the atmosphere, one over the West Coast and one over the East, is all that would be needed to wipe out most power in the US, even nuclear and hydro power.
The control mechanisms that run all power generation plants contain transistors and microchips. Both of these on-off control devices contain miniature micro switches. Very small distances separate the gaps in these micro on-off control switches, sometimes measured in nano-inches. (There are just shy of 1 billion nano inches in an inch) A powerful electro magnetic pulse would fry those devices, short circuit the gaps and render them inoperable, thereby removing all control from power generators and large power transformers, or LPT’s as they are called.
So what about the LPT’s? LPT’s are located at generating plants and substations to step-up electric power to very high voltages for transmission on the grid, or to step-down the large voltages to smaller voltages for distribution to homes and businesses. The LPT’s are very complicated. It can take a year or more to manufacture an LPT with very strict quality control measures required. An LPT can cost millions of dollars and weigh between 100 to 400 tons, making them a small nightmare to move. Many of the LPT’s are built in foreign countries. Some of those countries are hostile to the U. S., China being one of those countries. America’s stockpile of LPT’s is very limited and could not sustain massive LPT failures.
A hostile nation could release several highly trained insurgent teams into the U. S. to take out not only the LPT’s, but also the huge transmission towers carrying electric power to our cities and towns. An RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenade) fired upon one of the LPT’s would render it useless. Explosives attached to the transmission towers would bring down the towers and the high voltage wires the towers were supporting. An attack on just a few sections of the power grid or the LPT’s in critical parts of the country could cause a cascade event, cutting off most of the interconnected power grids all over America. The repair time could be measured in weeks or months and possibly even years.
Out of this discussion of the power grid and LPT’s we can’t leave out the system’s vulnerability to hackers. By now most of us are aware of the damage done by hackers to the Colonial pipeline that shut down gas supplies to multiple eastern states, mostly likely caused by foreign actors such as Russia. Dry gas stations and long lines at gas stations that still had gas, erupted almost instantly.
Most of the devices that control our electric generating plants, our pipelines, our phone lines and our sewer and water lines are connected to the Internet. Anything on the Internet is vulnerable to highly skilled hackers no matter how many firewalls are put in place to stop hacking. The power grid and LPT’s are no less vulnerable. It won’t be long before some hacker penetrates America’s electric system in one way or another and then demand a multi-million dollar ransom to give control back to the operating company. The Colonial pipeline company paid out $5 million to get control of their systems back and then it took almost a week to get the pipeline up and running again. Paying off hackers only emboldens the hackers.
Yes, the federal government is aware of these vulnerabilities and has studied the issue extensively. But not much has been done to fix the problems or remove the vulnerabilities.
An open and free society is always vulnerable to bad actors who wish to do us harm. Cutting off our electricity would bring our culture, our form of government and all of our institutions to a complete halt and thrust us back in time where 330,000,000 people could not survive.
Electricity is not our only vulnerability. We can’t live without water either but our water systems are wide open to hacking or the poisoning of their major water reservoirs and sources. Low flying aircraft or even drones could fly over our large reservoirs and drop deadly poisons into the water. Some poisons could linger for very long times before dissipating. People would die from the poison before the systems would be shut down. Then they would begin to die without fresh water.
Only government, working in tandem with private industry, can eliminate or reduce the threats. One way to reduce the threat to our electric and water supplies would be to take the operating systems off the Internet and change over to hard wire controls. Yes, it would be expensive but not near as expensive as losing the entire grid. Another way would be to hardening the generating plants and substations with shielding and guard units to make them less vulnerable to attack.
Whatever government and industry does, they had better do it in fairly short order before bad actors exploit our serious vulnerabilities and destroy our way of life forever.

“Ah ‘Tis Treason That Fills the Air ….. Nearly Everywhere!”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.
© Copyright Sunday, May 16, 2021 - All Rights Reserved
“America's state religion, is patriotism, a phenomenon which has convinced many of the citizenry that 'treason' is morally worse than murder or rape.” William Blum, an American author and critic of United States foreign policy
Article 3, Section 3, Clause 1 of the U. S. Constitution describes “Treason” against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason.”
The Constitution Center (www.constitutioncenter.org) expands on the definition. “Treason is a unique offense in our constitutional order—the only crime expressly defined by the Constitution, and applying only to Americans who have betrayed the allegiance they are presumed to owe the United States. While the Constitution’s Framers shared the centuries-old view that all citizens owed a duty of loyalty to their home nation, they included the Treason Clause not so much to underscore the seriousness of such a betrayal, but to guard against the historic use of treason prosecutions by repressive governments to silence otherwise legitimate political opposition. Debate surrounding the Clause at the Constitutional Convention thus focused on ways to narrowly define the offense, and to protect against false or flimsy prosecutions.”
“The Constitution specifically identifies what constitutes treason against the United States and, importantly, limits the offense of treason to only two types of conduct: (1) “levying war” against the United States; or (2) “adhering to [the] enemies [of the United States], giving them aid and comfort.”
Three important words are used in this expanded definition of treason: “allegiance”, “adhering” and “loyalty.” “Allegiance” is defined as: “loyalty or commitment of a subordinate to a superior or of an individual to a group or a cause.” “Loyalty”, in general use, is defined as “a devotion and faithfulness to a nation, cause, philosophy, group, or person.” “Adhering” means “in support of.”
The president, before taking office, swears under oath that: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
The above definitions of treason and the President’s oath of office beg several questions:
1. Have the actions of the current president, his cabinet, his subordinates, the federal bureaucracy, or the U. S. Congress rise to the level of treason under the two constitutional definitions: (1) “levying war” against the United States; or (2) “adhering to [the] enemies [of the United States], giving them aid and comfort?”
2. When the U. S. Congress, or a federal bureaucracy passes a law or rule that is adjudicated to be unconstitutional, is the Congress or that bureaucracy guilty of violating either one or both of the definitions of constitutional treason?
3. When an action by the President, the State Department, or any of the President’s several cabinet agencies openly work against the interests of the United States, could those actions violate the treason clause of the Constitution, or the president’s oath of office?
4. Do opening up our borders to national security concerns, humanitarian issues, or people, sex and drug trafficking, and “forcing” the American taxpayer to pay for it all, plus openly lie to us by stating that the “Borders Are Closed,” rise to the level of violating the Constitution’s treason clause?
5. Does federalizing the voting laws as the Congress is attempting to do under House Bill HR1 and Senate Bill S1 and taking all voting rights away from the states without a Constitutional Amendment, constitute a treasonable violation?
6. Does repealing the Electoral College or the Senate filibuster rule in an attempt to seize perpetual political power, violate the treason clause?
7. Does adding states to the 50 states in order to seal the balance of power in the Democrats favor in perpetuity, constitute the violation of the treason clause and the president’s oath to preserve, protect and defend the U. S. Constitution?
8. Does providing $235,000,000 in aid to the Palestinians without conditions by the Biden Administration and the attempts by the Administration to remove the sanctions against Iran and re-establish the Iranian Nuclear Deal, a well known terrorist organizations that promotes terror around the world, amount to a breach of national security and is not in the best interests of America or the American people, thereby violating one of the treason clauses?
9. Does entering into political or financial deals with the Chinese Communist Party by the President or Vice President of the United States, or a relative of said office holders, in order to peddle influence of America’s highest ranking political class, represent a treason offense under Article III, Section 3, Clause 1 of the U. S. Constitution?
Yes, there is much more but for our purposes these nine government actions give a meaningful representation of potential treasonable violations.
We can pretty much rule out the first constitutional definition of treason: “levying war” against the United State”, which requires mounting a physical war against the U. S. with organized troops and weapons. However, “adhering to [the] enemies [of the United States], giving them aid and comfort” becomes much more viable when we compare this second definition of treason to the above described nine government actions.
A violation of, or imperiling national security could be construed as “adhering to the enemies of the U. S. and giving them aid and comfort.” Purposeful open borders by government’s direct actions, as President Biden has done, seriously imperils America’s national security and sovereignty. It is giving “aid and comfort to our enemies,” a treason violation. It also violates the president’s oath of office.
The American people have allowed government carte blanc authority to do pretty much whatever it damn well pleases. It lies to us. It has taken over most of our institutions, including public schools and colleges. It passes legislation, laws and rules that erode our constitutional foundation of liberty and eliminate the core principles of our Constitutional Republic. Remember, “We Are Free Because of Our Constitution.”)
They, the socialist Democrats, have now embarked upon a crusade to fundamentally transform America into a socialist nation using every means at their disposal, sometimes unlawful or illegal, to grab absolute power over all Americans. Many of their methods to assume power come from direct violations of their sworn oaths of office and the U. S. Constitution, but more particularly the treason clause of the Constitution.
The socialist Democrats may yet reach their goal of perpetual power unless good Americans stand up en masse, in unison and in purpose to stop them. But if you are part of that “I don’t want to get involved crowd” the socialist Democrats win and they have been winning for a very long time. Their method is simple. Just buy the people’s vote using the people’s money in the U. S. Treasury ….. or printing the money with no regard for the consequences.
One must ask: is the Biden Administration, his cabinet secretaries, the current U. S. Congress, or the federal bureaucracy demonstrating “Allegiance” and “loyalty” to the American people?” Or are they “Adhering to [the] enemies [of the United States, giving them aid and comfort” a treason offense? Is President Biden in compliance with his oath of office wherein he swears that, “I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United State?” Does the Democrat voter know what he or she is doing, when they vote for a Democrat candidate, from the president on down, or is their only consideration for the “free stuff” that Democrats are promising? You decide!
Remember: “Your In-action Today Condemns Your Children To Tomorrow’s Slaves.”
We conclude with a message to the current generation. As you go about your daily lives and do nothing to reverse the degradation and treasonable actions perpetrated by evil actors upon Americans, you have condemned your children and grandchildren to ever-increasing slavery until at one point they will be so controlled and regulated that they might as well be in chains ….. or behind bars. That will be your legacy on behalf of your children and grandchildren when the fact is you have a biological imperative to protect them from all dangers and enemies, even future ones.
There are only three peaceful actions that will stop the onslaught of the American socialist Democrat, short of war:
1. Raise huge sums of money (millions) to challenge government actions in federal court with a flurry of never-ending lawsuits.
2. Start a massive citizen investigation campaign to root out corruption in ALL government.
3. Get millions of Americans to barrage politicians with “The Mandate.”
In short, only the American people can save America and freedom from eventual annihilation.

Article 3, Section 3, Clause 1 of the U. S. Constitution describes “Treason” against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason.”
The Constitution Center (www.constitutioncenter.org) expands on the definition. “Treason is a unique offense in our constitutional order—the only crime expressly defined by the Constitution, and applying only to Americans who have betrayed the allegiance they are presumed to owe the United States. While the Constitution’s Framers shared the centuries-old view that all citizens owed a duty of loyalty to their home nation, they included the Treason Clause not so much to underscore the seriousness of such a betrayal, but to guard against the historic use of treason prosecutions by repressive governments to silence otherwise legitimate political opposition. Debate surrounding the Clause at the Constitutional Convention thus focused on ways to narrowly define the offense, and to protect against false or flimsy prosecutions.”
“The Constitution specifically identifies what constitutes treason against the United States and, importantly, limits the offense of treason to only two types of conduct: (1) “levying war” against the United States; or (2) “adhering to [the] enemies [of the United States], giving them aid and comfort.”
Three important words are used in this expanded definition of treason: “allegiance”, “adhering” and “loyalty.” “Allegiance” is defined as: “loyalty or commitment of a subordinate to a superior or of an individual to a group or a cause.” “Loyalty”, in general use, is defined as “a devotion and faithfulness to a nation, cause, philosophy, group, or person.” “Adhering” means “in support of.”
The president, before taking office, swears under oath that: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
The above definitions of treason and the President’s oath of office beg several questions:
1. Have the actions of the current president, his cabinet, his subordinates, the federal bureaucracy, or the U. S. Congress rise to the level of treason under the two constitutional definitions: (1) “levying war” against the United States; or (2) “adhering to [the] enemies [of the United States], giving them aid and comfort?”
2. When the U. S. Congress, or a federal bureaucracy passes a law or rule that is adjudicated to be unconstitutional, is the Congress or that bureaucracy guilty of violating either one or both of the definitions of constitutional treason?
3. When an action by the President, the State Department, or any of the President’s several cabinet agencies openly work against the interests of the United States, could those actions violate the treason clause of the Constitution, or the president’s oath of office?
4. Do opening up our borders to national security concerns, humanitarian issues, or people, sex and drug trafficking, and “forcing” the American taxpayer to pay for it all, plus openly lie to us by stating that the “Borders Are Closed,” rise to the level of violating the Constitution’s treason clause?
5. Does federalizing the voting laws as the Congress is attempting to do under House Bill HR1 and Senate Bill S1 and taking all voting rights away from the states without a Constitutional Amendment, constitute a treasonable violation?
6. Does repealing the Electoral College or the Senate filibuster rule in an attempt to seize perpetual political power, violate the treason clause?
7. Does adding states to the 50 states in order to seal the balance of power in the Democrats favor in perpetuity, constitute the violation of the treason clause and the president’s oath to preserve, protect and defend the U. S. Constitution?
8. Does providing $235,000,000 in aid to the Palestinians without conditions by the Biden Administration and the attempts by the Administration to remove the sanctions against Iran and re-establish the Iranian Nuclear Deal, a well known terrorist organizations that promotes terror around the world, amount to a breach of national security and is not in the best interests of America or the American people, thereby violating one of the treason clauses?
9. Does entering into political or financial deals with the Chinese Communist Party by the President or Vice President of the United States, or a relative of said office holders, in order to peddle influence of America’s highest ranking political class, represent a treason offense under Article III, Section 3, Clause 1 of the U. S. Constitution?
Yes, there is much more but for our purposes these nine government actions give a meaningful representation of potential treasonable violations.
We can pretty much rule out the first constitutional definition of treason: “levying war” against the United State”, which requires mounting a physical war against the U. S. with organized troops and weapons. However, “adhering to [the] enemies [of the United States], giving them aid and comfort” becomes much more viable when we compare this second definition of treason to the above described nine government actions.
A violation of, or imperiling national security could be construed as “adhering to the enemies of the U. S. and giving them aid and comfort.” Purposeful open borders by government’s direct actions, as President Biden has done, seriously imperils America’s national security and sovereignty. It is giving “aid and comfort to our enemies,” a treason violation. It also violates the president’s oath of office.
The American people have allowed government carte blanc authority to do pretty much whatever it damn well pleases. It lies to us. It has taken over most of our institutions, including public schools and colleges. It passes legislation, laws and rules that erode our constitutional foundation of liberty and eliminate the core principles of our Constitutional Republic. Remember, “We Are Free Because of Our Constitution.”)
They, the socialist Democrats, have now embarked upon a crusade to fundamentally transform America into a socialist nation using every means at their disposal, sometimes unlawful or illegal, to grab absolute power over all Americans. Many of their methods to assume power come from direct violations of their sworn oaths of office and the U. S. Constitution, but more particularly the treason clause of the Constitution.

“We’re In A Battle For Freedom.
Where’s The War?”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

“The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.” Adolf Hitler
Many experiments have been done with animals to determine their behavior in certain situations, or for some nefarious reasons to modify their behavior. The primates are the behavioral scientist’s or social psychologist’s favorite subjects because they more closely represent their nearest human cousins. The usual process is for the researchers to provide a stimulus to the subject animal and record the response. The stimulus can be either a punitive action, or a reward action.
One of the more famous experiments with primates was the Monkey and Banana conditioning exercise. The scientists put five monkeys in a cage with a very tall ladder and a bunch of bananas on the top of the ladder. Eventually, one of the monkeys would venture to climb the ladder to reach the bananas. But they had a surprise waiting for them. They were sprayed with a powerful stream of water and driven off the ladder before they could get to the bananas. The experimenter then proceeds to spray the other four monkeys in a similar manner.
Sitting there, wet and cold, the monkeys huddle and move about until another monkey is drawn to the bananas and starts to climb the ladder. The experimenter drives the second monkey off the ladder with a powerful stream of water and then turns the hose on the other four monkeys.
When a third monkey starts to climb the ladder to reach the bananas, the other four monkeys pull him off and beat him so as to avoid being sprayed by the water again.
The experimenter then replaces one of the monkeys with a new monkey. When the new monkey goes after the bananas, the other four monkeys pull him off and beat him as well.
Once again, the experimenter removes one of the other original monkeys and replaces it with a new monkey. When the new monkey starts to climb the ladder the other four pull him off as before and beat him, including the monkey that had never been sprayed. By the end of the experiment, all of the monkeys were new and none of the original monkeys were left. And yet, despite none of the new monkeys ever experiencing the cold, wet, spray, they had all learned never to try and go for the bananas. That is social conditioning.
Now replace the bananas with FREEDOM! As you attempt to climb the ladder to freedom you are being sprayed by a tyrannical government with a toxic mixture of lies and propaganda so you can never reach it. Cancel culture, censorship and the attack on free speech are a part of this toxic mixture. In addition, government is exploiting the public education system, including K-12 and college, to brainwash multiple generations. (See: “To Kill A Free Nation Take Over Public Education”)
Using lies, propaganda and social conditioning, governments “manipulate” their citizens regularly to control the behavior of the masses for a government-desired outcome. Since humans tend to move as one, like a flock of birds in the sky, or a school of fish in the sea as far as social norms are concerned, the monkey-banana experiment proves how easily it is to “manipulate” animals and make even a human behavioral change permanent.
Since the late 1920’s and early 30’s the American government has been working diligently to control citizen behavior under the highly subjective alleged science known as social psychology. These earlier experiments on social engineering and modifying human behavior were conducted by the University of Chicago and Harvard University and funded by the Rockefeller Foundation. “In a final report of the 1938 Harvard Laboratory of Industrial Psychology showed conclusively that they had been successful in influencing employees’ subconscious attitudes about their jobs with this new science. Their approach was a form of thought-control which they felt Americans would accept.” (Source: “Politics of Change by Dr. Robert N. Crittenden) In point of fact, Americans had no idea how they were being manipulated and they had no say in the science or the methods being used to control their thoughts. How is this any different than Nazi Joseph Goebbels’ propaganda machine to manipulate the German people leading up to and during the Second World War? It isn’t.
The American government has been lying to the American people for a very long time about a wide range of important subjects that affect our every day lives. Now, with the help of academia, social media and the news media, the “woke” government under socialist Democrats, RINO Republicans and our massive bureaucracy has been lying to and propagandizing citizens in many different fields, from economics, to education, to climate change, to environmentalism, to junk science, to health care, to speech, to gun rights, to vaccines, to masks, to immigration, to trillions in deficit spending and printing money, to racism, to foreign policy, to military and domestic intelligence and God knows what else. Climate change is propaganda. Critical Race Theory is propaganda. Social justice, inclusiveness, equity, white privilege and systemic racism are all propaganda, designed by government and special interests to “manipulate” citizen behavior, just like the above described five-monkey experiment.
Our federal institutions, like the FBI, the DOJ and the CIA have been hopelessly corrupted and acting virtually without constraint or accountability. Even large and small corporations and unions are parroting this “woke” ideology, spawned over 100 years, out of the loins of Progressivism. Progressivism is just another word for socialism.
Due to Democrat President’s Wilson, FDR, Johnson, Clinton, Obama and Biden’s socialist policies, freedom has lost its remaining sanctuaries in our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. The war on freedom by these administrations include FDR’s New Deal, Johnson’s Great Society, Clinton’s President’s Council on Sustainable Development, Obama’s Obama Care and now Biden’s march towards absolute socialism with massive government multi-trillion dollar federal assistance programs. Biden’s open borders, to packing the Supreme Court, to repealing the Senate filibuster rule, to adding Democrat-run states to the 50 states, to racism and to health care are all designed to make American citizens dependent on the government and increase Democrat political power. Through lies and propaganda, government and special interests have divided and conquered us without a shot being fire. So where is the war?
Government today and probably throughout history, due to human failings, has been, is and always will be about "power", but very seldom about "principle". However, if we choose to avoid principle, we do so at our own peril. Many governments have fallen for far less. This great land of ours could easily share the same fate unless we return to these principles, for which millions of brave men and women have sacrificed their lives, their limbs and their minds to defend. (See: “18 Basic Principles For America”)
Governments only get powerful because the American people let them. Political parties get powerful because we let them. Illegal aliens crash our borders in huge numbers because we let them. Large corporations and legal or illegal organizations get powerful because we let them. Environmental groups get powerful because we let them. Unions get powerful because we let them. The larger these entities become, the more they will try to increase their power.
But WE THE PEOPLE in the form of individuals and families have the ultimate power, if we will only exercise that power. We must act as one in the defense of our unalienable rights as granted to us by our creator and instituted into law by men under our Constitution and further by living up to our civic duties, obligations and individual responsibilities. But if we are divided, if we fight amongst ourselves, if we allow ourselves to be bought off by the promises of government largess to buy our votes, that always comes with a loss of freedom. If we ignore America’s time-tested constitutional principles, we are rendered impotent and the "powerful" elite, ruling class will fill the gap, as they already have ….. because we let them.
Ladies and gentlemen, this socialist Democrat American government has become the enemy of a free people, an instrument to relieve us of our liberty and spend us into debt oblivion. We are, so far, in a limited and peaceful battle for freedom. But the vicious and relentless attack on our individual liberties and national sovereignty by socialist Democrats, radical environmentalists and globalists, forces us to ask, “Where is the war?” Why haven’t Americans been issuing “The Mandate” to their Senators and Representatives? When will they fight back against the toxic mixture of lies and propaganda and climb the ladder to freedom?
After over 100 years of moving away from freedom under Progressivism, we are truly at a crossroads and the fate of our cherished America could go either way. But "just one act of courage" by just one person, might very well make the difference between freedom and perpetual enslavement.
On the battlefield, one man, risking everything, motivated by powerful emotions of unbridled anger, or blind rage over something that happened to one of his buddies, will attack the enemy single handedly, from whence heroes are born. In many cases, that single act of courage incites others to follow him, from whence wars are won.
If you stand up, you could be the "butterfly" that "flaps its wings" in Arizona and starts an uprising in Michigan. In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the idea that small things can have huge non-linear impacts on a complex system. The concept is imagined with a butterfly flapping its wings in Guiana and causing a typhoon in the Western Pacific.
The seeds of freedom have already been sewn by many single acts of courage and the "butterflies" are poised to take wing. Others, less courageous and sitting on the sidelines, are waiting for you to make the first move.
Social Democrats have drawn the battle lines and more. “Where, for Pete’s sake, is the frickin’ War?”
“A tribute to our nation’s Mothers”
To all you mothers out there
In this great land of the free,
We stand in awe for the gifts you give
To America’s cultural family.
Love, caring, nurturing and more,
You give of your self so unselfishly.
The kids are crying on the kitchen floor
But you keep your cool
In a voice that reaches out so tenderly.
You are what you are
And we take you that way.
No you’re not perfect
You can’t always be on every day.
But we pay you this tribute
On this yearly Mother’s day,
To show you we haven’t forgotten
How special you are in every way.

“To Prop Up The Black Race
We’re Dumbing Down the White!”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.
© Copyright Sunday, May 2, 2021 - All Rights Reserved
“The dumbing down of America is most evident in the
slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30
second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator
programming, credulous presentations on pseudo-science and superstition, but
especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.” Carl Sagan
PREFACE: In our articles, we don't pull any punches and never will. We write what many others are afraid to write. We say what others don't have the courage to say, in a climate of fear that has made "politically correct" a retreat for cowards. If the reader is offended by what we write, it is their issue to resolve, not ours.
In the name of racism and so-called equity and diversity, we are creating a nation of morons. The U. S. government, special interests, and academic educated idiots are literally tailoring a society based on the lowest common denominator, in an attempt to prop up and pander to a single race. To accommodate Black and Latino learning disabilities, we’re dumbing down the White and Asian races.
On top of that we have replaced reason, logic, intellect, common sense and objective learning with diversity, reverse racism and racial emotion, creating never-ending racial tension in our entire culture. The socialist Democrats feed off of racial divide for their own political gain. Achievement, excellence, motivation and curiosity to learn are demeaned and vilified as being racist. In the name of equity every child is BEING left behind and America suffers declining achievement across all disciplines and all races.
Socialist Democrats have been pandering to the Black race for decades in order to keep them trapped in the Democrat stronghold by promising and delivering special treatment and benefits, in exchange for the Black vote. Instead, they have created a singular race of people totally dependent on government who have been taught and convinced that they are victims of White oppression, White privilege and White systemic racism.
This false perception of White oppression, purposely planted there by Democrats, has led the Black race to be combative, irritable, frustrated and intolerant of anything White. They believe that all of the ills that Blacks must endure are due to White racism because everywhere they go from public education, to jobs in the private sector and even in Black churches for all we know, this false narrative is drummed into their heads. Have we forgotten so soon Obama’s Pastor of the Trinity Church of Christ in Chicago, one Jeremiah Wright, where he said in a shrill voice, “God Damn America?”
Blacks have been elevated to a special class of people with a special name, African American, and special status in every day life, such as affirmative action and generous benefits paid by the taxpayer. Evidently, for several reasons, many of them cultural, Blacks just can’t compete on a level playing field with Whites and Asians. Nevertheless, they demand parity. Even Latinos perform slightly better than Blacks. Therefore, in the name of equity in our public schools and institutions we must reduce all normal achievement standards to the lowest common denominator of substandard Black achievement levels.
Case in point. In California, the achievement gap is quite pronounced between races where Blacks and Latinos consistently fall behind Whites and Asians starting in early years. This gap is illustrated by the following:
1. Only 10% of Black students and 15% of Latinx students in California met targeted benchmarks in eighth-grade math, compared to 44% of White students. (Even 44% for Whites is unacceptable.)
2. The gap begins in elementary school for both Black and Latinx students— by the 4th grade, White students in CA are consistently above state and national averages for math, while Black and Latinx students score below those averages.
3. In every county in the state the majority of Latinx students are not proficient in math or English language arts.
4. California’s Latinx students attend the nation’s most segregated schools; are often pushed away from college-prep coursework, and are sometimes perceived as less academically capable than their White or Asian peers.
To counter this disparity between the races, school boards dumb down the test standards so as not to offend or embarrass Blacks and Latinos, in the name of equity. As a result White and Asians are held back from achieving their potential. The extended Coronavirus epidemic, which has kept kids out of the classroom for over a year, has only widened the gap.
Unfortunately, government, in the process of helping Blacks with massive social programs, has managed to decimate the Black culture and destroy the bonds of the Black family, leaving them extremely vulnerable to broken homes, poverty, gangs, guns and drugs. In 1965, 24% of Black infants were born to single mothers. By 1990 single-mother births had risen to 64%. Single-mother births are now in the lower 70% range. In this tribal, fatherless environment, it is Blacks killing other Blacks by the thousands, not cops killing Blacks.
Consequently, society will never fix the problem until they find a way to elevate the Black tribal culture and bring it into to the 21st Century. Nothing will change as long as there are substandard schools and teachers in the inner cities. Nothing will change until cooler heads prevail and racial injustice, diversity and equity are eliminated from school curriculums. Would it not be wiser to establish two branches of education, a branch where any kid can excel and achieve to their full potential and a remedial branch where those that are falling behind can be tutored to catch up? If there are programs like this, they are failing miserably.
Nevertheless, making broad-brush assertions about anything is inherently flawed. There are many fine black men and women that have escaped the bonds of poverty, racial resentment, government dependency and victim hood and have excelled in their various fields of endeavor.
Asian students in America are cleaning the clock of all other students, White, Latino, or Black by several percentage points. While all other races get mired in the racial injustice, diversity and equity nonsense, invented by educated idiots and mandated by insane American politicians, Asians are paying no attention and focusing on objective learning.
In China, education is even more emphasized than here in America. They have some of the top universities in the world. Once more, the Asian culture is over 5,000 years old. Family bonds are very strong in a man-woman-child relationship, the work ethic is paramount and they strive for excellence. It should be noted that Asians are also receiving considerable discrimination but you don’t see them crying “Asian Lives Matter”, or rioting in the streets, looting and burning. Why is that, because the 5,000-year old Chinese culture is familial, not tribal?
Much of this diversity and equity insanity can be laid at the foot of federally mandated education programs like Common Core State Standards, No Child Left Behind and Every Student Succeeds Act. In another article we gave a dissertation on “Common Core State Standards” on math. What we discovered should make every parent furious and ready to do battle with his or her school board.
Even worse, public school curriculums now contain “Critical Race Theory”, a theory mind you that tells all Whites that they are inferior to all other races because they are guilty of systemic racism, White privilege and White oppression. A theory that "aims to reframe the country's history by placing the consequences of slavery and the historical evidence of Black Americans in the United States national narrative". A theory that states America is fatally flawed and needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. According to the theory Whites are the reason behind all social and cultural ills, especially for Blacks. The truth is “White Men Built America.”)
The Programme For International Student Assessment (PISA) compares 15-year olds in developing countries. The 2015 PISA study showed that American 15-year olds placed 38th in math and 24th in science, out of 71 countries. Those numbers alone demonstrate the abysmal failure of the American education system, for any race. (See: “To Kill A Free Nation Take Over Public Education”)
Future leaders of a nation are spawned in an education system. What students learn in public or private schools will literally determine the future direction of a nation. Just like they say about computers, “Garbage In, Garbage Out,” we’re filling our kid’s heads with social justice garbage in a government-induced race war based on a fabricated lie, systemic racism.
Perhaps the dismal performance of American students over the last several decades explains why America is in so much trouble today and how socialist Democrats have become the party of choice of a majority of the purposely dumbed down American voter. Perhaps that is why socialist-in-chief President Biden has a 53.9% approval rating after only 100 days in office. This is a pre-ordained outcome hatched over 100 years ago in a socialist laboratory, directed by one Karl Marx.
By interjecting social justice, diversity, inclusion, Critical Race Theory and so-called equity into all aspects of our education system, “We’re Trying to Prop Up the Black Race While Dumbing Down And Holding Back The White and Asian Races.” That’s not negligence. That’s criminal.

PREFACE: In our articles, we don't pull any punches and never will. We write what many others are afraid to write. We say what others don't have the courage to say, in a climate of fear that has made "politically correct" a retreat for cowards. If the reader is offended by what we write, it is their issue to resolve, not ours.
In the name of racism and so-called equity and diversity, we are creating a nation of morons. The U. S. government, special interests, and academic educated idiots are literally tailoring a society based on the lowest common denominator, in an attempt to prop up and pander to a single race. To accommodate Black and Latino learning disabilities, we’re dumbing down the White and Asian races.
On top of that we have replaced reason, logic, intellect, common sense and objective learning with diversity, reverse racism and racial emotion, creating never-ending racial tension in our entire culture. The socialist Democrats feed off of racial divide for their own political gain. Achievement, excellence, motivation and curiosity to learn are demeaned and vilified as being racist.

“To Stop Mob Violence You Must Crush It!”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

“What has violence ever accomplished? What has it ever created? No martyr's cause has ever been stilled by an assassin's bullet. No wrongs have ever been righted by riots and civil disorders. A sniper is only a coward, not a hero; and an uncontrolled or uncontrollable mob is only the voice of madness, not the voice of the people.” Robert Kennedy
“The student who invades an administration building, roughs up a dean, rifles the files and issues 'non-negotiable demands' may have some of his demands met by a permissive university administration. But the greater his 'victory' the more he will have undermined the security of his own rights.” Richard M. Nixon
Every parent instinctively knows, or should know, that if a young child acts out, becomes violent, belligerent, or disrespectful, some form of discipline is in order. And the discipline has to be the kind that gets the message across. If no discipline is applied or if the discipline is not sufficient, the child will continue his or her behavior and that behavior will only get worse over time. That’s the child that ends up committing crimes because he or she still believes that there are no consequences for his or her actions. He or she then becomes a line item on a police rap sheet, or shot by police on the streets, black or white. The fact is criminals are made from life’s negative experiences, not born. (See: “Little Black Box Theory”)
Males, especially young males, are the worst offenders of crime. Females constitute less than 20% of arrests for most crime categories. (Source: Gender and Crime, www.law.jrank.org)
But what makes the criminal in the mob that will riot, loot, burn and kill? One source describes it this way:
“When a group of people has assembled because they're emotional and angry about something, it only takes one act of violence to whip the crowd into a fury. Others will follow the initial rioter's lead and begin destroying property or hurting people. A lot of research has been conducted into the mindset of a violent mob. Being part of a group can destroy people's inhibitions, making them do things they'd never otherwise do. They lose their individual values and principles and adopt the group's principles, which, during a riot, are usually to cause destruction and avoid detection. Being in the midst of a mob can be exciting and powerful, and it can make people feel invisible -- they are part of a huge group, and they won't be detected or held responsible for their actions.”
However, in this day of cameras everywhere, picking out individuals from photos and videos in a rioting mob aren’t that difficult, especially during daytime hours. Just ask the over 400 individuals that have been arrested and sit in jail for their participation in the January 6th occupation of the U. S. Capitol Building.
In contrast, more than 10,000 people have been arrested for the rioting, burning and looting in 140 cities around the country since the death of George Floyd at the hands of a police officer in Minneapolis on May 25th, 2020. We were unable to determine how many arrested were actually prosecuted for their crimes and served or are serving time in prison. Many prosecutors refuse to prosecute the rioters and let them go free. Not so the Capitol occupiers.
What prosecutors are not doing with regard to the rioters, looters and arsonists is called permissiveness. Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, the son of the last shah of Iran, used permissiveness in his description of where Western civilization is headed: “Growing terrorism, permissive societies, democracy collapsing through lack of law and order. If things continue on their present track, the disintegration of Western societies will occur much sooner than you think under the hammer blows of fascism and communism. Freedom is not something that does not have a breaking point, and your enemies would like you to reach that point.”
In the last year, not only is crime on the rise because of the demeaning, decimation and de-funding of police departments in many of the major cities, we must endure constant protests, rioting, looting and burning in our down town areas by hard-core revolutionaries. The mobs are growing in number, influence and power. They mean to tear down our constitutional system of government, our culture and our way of life by violence and intimidation. They mean to destroy the love and bonding of families, the very esssence of our existence. Because of citizen apathy and police looking the other way, it’s working.
An article by the Three Percent Organization gave us a glimpse into what we can expect from these revolutionaries:
In one of the rallies that were held across the country, a young activist speaking at Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington D.C. made it clear that there will be hell to pay for white America and issued a call for what sounded like a violent revolution.
According to the 21-year-old who was identified as Rahim B; “How much longer can we protest and march in the streets before we are ready, really ready, to get blood on our hands because one of these days, it’s going to have to come to that.”
He added; “Bringing about that change is not going to always be pretty, and it’s not going to be peaceful.”
Rahim B. also encouraged the looting which after going unpunished last year will be even worse this time around; “I don’t condemn who loot, I support them for looting. I support people who take matters in their own hands. If you want to set something on fire, go do that.”
Earlier in the week, BLM activist and prolific tweeter Bree Newsome defended rioting and looting to her followers; “I’m definitely in the camp of defending rioting & looting as a legitimate, politically-informed response to state violence,” she tweeted.
What is the mob’s rationale for doing all this rioting, looting and burning, the false flag of systemic racism, handed to them on a platter by socialist Democrat politicians, social media and the news media? They have whipped Blacks up into an out-of-control frenzy. Critical Race Theory, now taught in our schools as reverse racism against Whites, is part of their strategy. In addition to violence, socialism policies and radical environmentalism are their legislative levers to effect the changes.
NOTE: Most Blacks shot by white cops have a significant criminal history, or on drugs, resisted arrest, or endangered the lives of the cops or the general public. The Black population in U. S. prisons is double any other race and more than five times the White population. That disparity cannot be explained by racism. Is it any wonder that cops, White or Black, encounter Blacks more frequently?
Like naughty children who have never been disciplined, these revolutionaries intend to keep up the violence until the politicians and the scared people, quivering with fear in their homes and businesses, capitulate and give into the revolutionary’s demands.
One of those demands was that Police Officer Chauvin must be found guilty on three counts for the murder of George Floyd. If it wasn’t a guilty clean sweep the mob was going to take to the streets again in violent protest. These nut cases resorted to open threats, witness tampering and jury intimidation to get their way. Even the President, Vice President and Representative Maxine Waters got into the act during the trial, trying to influence the jury. The issues for appeal are numerous. The story of this police officer is hardly over and he could still get off with a mistrial. Is he guilty? Maybe but due to other evidence, not absolutely!
The upshot of all this is that the political violence will continue until someone crushes the rioters. Without the National Guard, the local police can’t seem to control the violence. Thrusting the National Guard into the mix will bring about order but won’t solve the national problem or the false issues causing the violence. Since the mob revolutionaries don’t suffer any major consequences for their actions, they are free to do whatever they like while the rest of us must endure the aftermath of looted stores, burned out buildings, lost jobs and lost business revenue.
When law enforcement cannot restore order and stop the violence that only leaves the people to stop it in what could be a massive outbreak of vigilante justice. But the people are cowed in the corner like wounded rats and won’t lift a finger to save them selves. And not just save them selves from rioters, looters and arsonists, but won’t lift a finger to restore the freedoms they have lost due to long-term government corruption and tyranny. Government didn’t become corrupt overnight. Government is corruption.
Any normal, reasonable and prudent person knows that the only appropriate response to uncontrollable violence is an equal or greater force. But Americans have grown so civilized they shy away from confrontation and allow Goliath to slew the masses as it were. Where is David with his magic slingshot?
The solution to the current rioting, looting and burning by those who would destroy us from within is much more simple than most people realize. Even though we don’t condone or advocate for violence, if every shop owner in the free fire zone owned a pump shotgun and was willing to use it, they could bring the looting and arson to an immediate halt. If just one or two of these lowlife’s were blown away in the process of committing their crimes of looting and burning, the rest would scatter like flies. If they believed that all shop and business owners were so armed, they wouldn’t come back.
This would also apply to the southern border as well. If the border were say patrolled by A-10 Thunderbolts, or an AH 64E Apache Helicopter, or a Lockheed AC-130 gun ship and they were to fire warning shots at the illegal aliens as they attempted to cross the border, the aliens would turn tail and run as fast as possible back to their home countries.
Some of you will instantly say this is inhumane. It doesn’t comport with America’s values. But if a show of force produced a huge reduction in human, drug and sex trafficking, that would be even more humane. It would stop the illegal aliens from making the over 1,000 mile journey to America where they endure all kinds of inhumane treatment along the way, like beatings, theft, rape and sodomy at the hands of the brutal cartels, along with the extortion money they must pay to the cartels.
As we have said many times in our articles, “If you don’t confront the bully with equal or a greater force, the bully owns you.” The socialist Democrats and the mob now own you. Their power over you grows by the day under the Biden Administration. If you have the courage, you can fight back peacefully with “The Mandate” before revolution or civil war become the only remaining alternative.
We don’t have the luxury of time. “We Can’t Wait For The 2022 Mid Terms.”

The story of this police officer is hardly over and he could still get off with a mistrial. Is he guilty? Maybe but due to other evidence, not absolutely!
The upshot of all this is that the political violence will continue until someone crushes the rioters. Without the National Guard, the local police can’t seem to control the violence. Thrusting the National Guard into the mix will bring about order but won’t solve the national problem or the false issues causing the violence. Since the mob revolutionaries don’t suffer any major consequences for their actions, they are free to do whatever they like while the rest of us must endure the aftermath of looted stores, burned out buildings, lost jobs and lost business revenue.
When law enforcement cannot restore order and stop the violence that only leaves the people to stop it in what could be a massive outbreak of vigilante justice. But the people are cowed in the corner like wounded rats and won’t lift a finger to save them selves. And not just save them selves from rioters, looters and arsonists, but won’t lift a finger to restore the freedoms they have lost due to long-term government corruption and tyranny. Government didn’t become corrupt overnight. Government is corruption.
Any normal, reasonable and prudent person knows that the only appropriate response to uncontrollable violence is an equal or greater force. But Americans have grown so civilized they shy away from confrontation and allow Goliath to slew the masses as it were. Where is David with his magic slingshot?
The solution to the current rioting, looting and burning by those who would destroy us from within is much more simple than most people realize. Even though we don’t condone or advocate for violence, if every shop owner in the free fire zone owned a pump shotgun and was willing to use it, they could bring the looting and arson to an immediate halt. If just one or two of these lowlife’s were blown away in the process of committing their crimes of looting and burning, the rest would scatter like flies. If they believed that all shop and business owners were so armed, they wouldn’t come back.
This would also apply to the southern border as well. If the border were say patrolled by A-10 Thunderbolts, or an AH 64E Apache Helicopter, or a Lockheed AC-130 gun ship and they were to fire warning shots at the illegal aliens as they attempted to cross the border, the aliens would turn tail and run as fast as possible back to their home countries.
Some of you will instantly say this is inhumane. It doesn’t comport with America’s values. But if a show of force produced a huge reduction in human, drug and sex trafficking, that would be even more humane. It would stop the illegal aliens from making the over 1,000 mile journey to America where they endure all kinds of inhumane treatment along the way, like beatings, theft, rape and sodomy at the hands of the brutal cartels, along with the extortion money they must pay to the cartels.
As we have said many times in our articles, “If you don’t confront the bully with equal or a greater force, the bully owns you.” The socialist Democrats and the mob now own you. Their power over you grows by the day under the Biden Administration. If you have the courage, you can fight back peacefully with “The Mandate” before revolution or civil war become the only remaining alternative.
We don’t have the luxury of time. “We Can’t Wait For The 2022 Mid Terms.”

“The Absolute Democrat Monarchy That’s Coming For You!”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.
© Copyright Sunday, April 18, 2021 - All Rights Reserved
“Those in possession of absolute power can not only prophesy and make their prophecies come true, but they can also lie and make their lies come true.” Eric Hoffer, was an American moral and social philosopher. He was the author of ten books and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in February 1983.
Of all the dumb tricks a society could do to itself, this one takes the cake. By their own vote, tens of millions of Americans unwittingly set a trap for them selves and then walked right into the trap they created. In a land of free elections the voters managed to elect a cadre of political idiots with malice and lies in their hearts, whose stated goals are to enslave the very people that voted them into office. One might say that the voter is self-destructive and prone to suicide. Or worse, maybe they like being slaves and dependent on big mother government. All that other stuff about liberty, self-reliance, unalienable rights and the Constitution are passé and irrelevant, especially now when the government is so free about passing out printed or borrowed dollars to ignorant voters.
Unfortunately, the voters have created their own worst nightmare and there apparently is no way to reverse it except to wait for the next election. But by then it will probably be too late. The people are now stuck with an Absolute Democrat Monarchy exercising raw political power and virtually unrestrained by the 17 enumerated powers contained in Article 1, Section 8 of the U. S. Constitution.
The leaders that the voters have elected now believe they have the divine right to rule and do anything they want, without limitation, reservation, or electoral mandate. All political power is now concentrated in the oligarchs of the Democrat socialist monarchy and they plan to use their perceived divine power to fundamentally alter America’s foundation of freedom, our culture and our way of life forever. They have a 100-year head start, created oh so slowly under the umbrella of Progressivism. You can vociferously object but it won’t do you any good.
In a land that is allegedly governed by the rule of law is now a nation ruled by ruthless men and women, corporate and social media hegemony, cancel culture, way too powerful teacher’s unions, supporters of Black Lives Matter a fascist group, endorsers of Critical Race Theory, allows so-called scientific experts to lie and a hopelessly corrupt news media. They have thrown off the mantel of civility, constitutional procedure and decorum in favor of rule by irrational, lawless dictates and the sword, where peacefully occupying the U. S. Capitol by some patriots is bad but burning, looting and rioting under the guise of legal protests are good. Obey or suffer the consequences of their wrath should you defy their cult ideology or their power.
Over 400 people have been arrested for protesting at the U. S. Capitol building and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. In contrast, rioters, looters and arsonists are still doing their dirty work all over America, mostly with impunity. Those that are arrested are released immediately without bail.
Hillary Clinton, a Democrat, skates her major violations of law but government sends in a 29-member SWAT team to arrest Roger Stone, a Republican, for minor infractions. Leaders at the FBI, DOJ and CIA get away with becoming virtually lawless in their pursuit of a president they don’t like. They are still running around free as a bird. The investigator into their misdeeds by U. S. Prosecutor John Durham seems to be AWOL.
The leaders that the people have elected to run this country are liars, con men and cheats. Every statement they utter, every bill they pass or try to pass, every executive order the President signs are based on lies, false flags, corrupt science, or irrational politics. Obama Care was a lie. The $1.9 Trillion dollar Covid rescue legislation was a lie. The proposed $2.25 Trillion infrastructure bill is a lie and they know it.
Packing the Supreme Court, repealing the electoral college, repealing the Senate filibuster rule, reparations for blacks, Medicare for all, involving government in social equity and gender dysphoria, granting free college tuition and paying off student loan debt, are all based solely on achieving absolute power by buying votes, resulting in a nation ruled in perpetuity by socialist Democrats. This is nothing more than a Constitutional Republic being replaced by an Absolute Democrat Monarchy without a shot being fired.
You can’t overturn this arrogant power grab by Democrats by peaceful means or being nice or diplomatic. Yes, we’re civilized and we have been trained to be nice, polite and civil. But how is that working out for conservatives? Has it stopped the onslaught of a flurry of local, state and federal laws that continue to “eat” away at our freedom, our liberty and our property rights? Has Biden, Pelosi, or Schumer, or your liberal-controlled state houses, or your city or county councils changed course because conservatives are being civil? Has being nice changed one liberal-progressive-socialist mind? Not likely. Absolute power is their goal and their obsession.
Conservatives have a determined opponent (Progressives) that is not only intransigent, but they have been successful for two reasons in winning the hearts and minds of a large percentage of the American people, academia, social media and the news media. One, the Progressives have “bought off” the people with “give aways” out of the public treasury (our money) and have created a “pig trough” from which the “people” can feed. Pigs don’t bite the hand that feeds them.
Two, they have adroitly used irrational “compassion” and the people’s collective “guilty conscience”, to sell the people, academia and the news media, that the “compassionate-collectivism" way is the only right way. Fixing climate change is good but fossil fuels are bad. But the truth is, mandatory compassion, (taxes, etc.) is not compassion at all. It is enforced charity by any other name. Enforced charity is servitude, if not slavery. And collectivism is the arch enemy of individual freedom and liberty.
With that strong support bought with your money, Progressives have been able to fundamentally change America over the last 100 years, in spite of conservative's somewhat limp opposition to that change. It is readily apparent that conservatives do not have academia and they certainly don’t have the news or social media in their pockets. What they might have is enough people to oppose the liberal-progressive agenda, if America is truly a center-right country, as so many have claimed. However, if those "enough people" cannot come together on their values and principles and vigorously defend them, the liberal-progressive agenda has won.
The depth of anyone's commitment to change is directly related to their conviction that what they stand for, is right. The more intransigent is your opponent, the more force you will have to bring to defeat that opponent. As you increase your force, being nice becomes less and less effective, as history has taught us. Neville Chamberlain did not stop the Nazis by being nice.
You watch as your government wastes billions of your tax dollars on poorly thought-out programs that do nothing but have unintended and very expensive consequences. You cry out for redress on the illegal immigration problem, that your government refuses to fix, when the "fix" is pretty damn easy to do just by building and patrolling a wall and enforcing current laws.
You watch as your children are brainwashed and indoctrinated from Kindergarten through four years of college, while you pay through the nose, roll your eyes and do nothing.
You watch as politicians promise the moon from the public treasury to the undeserving that will drive America into financial oblivion. You watch as your government passes laws that drive up the cost of housing, energy, food, cars and everything else, for reasons that defy common sense.
You watch as they promise universal health care that will do nothing more than raise the cost of health care, decrease its quality and give government the authority to further control your behavior, because they say they are paying for your medical care. Medicare is nothing more than government-run health care, but many doctors are now refusing to accept Medicare patients because government is reducing what they pay the doctors, to control costs. Just imagine what it will be like under government-run Medicare for all. You can kiss the best health care service in the world, goodbye!
You watch as government outlaws the incandescent light bulb that has served Americans since Thomas Edison. They are going to replace the incandescent bulb with a fluorescent bulb that costs more and has mercury in it. If it breaks it will cost you $2,000 to clean up the resulting hazardous waste. Oh and it will also cost you to dispose of the fluorescent bulb as well.
The minute these thieves that call themselves politicians go into session, the stealing begins. They pass gigantic, poorly managed social programs that take billions of dollars in the sweat and labor from the millions of us that are working. They then transfer our sweat, blood and tears to someone else, that isn't. Their so-called safety nets discourage the work ethic and entice others to jump on the government bandwagon so they don't have to work either. (A free lunch for them that isn't free for you and me) Need we mention the millions of illegal aliens who come here by breaking our laws and attach themselves to our schools, hospitals and safety nets? Then the illegal aliens send billions back to their homeland that they gain from the exploitation of cheap labor and welfare benefits.
Unless conservative Americans increase their force against this Absolute Democrat Monarchy and cease being nice, the other side will not get the message. Because not only does the opposition have a large segment of the people, academia and the news media in their pockets, they have billions of our tax dollars to push us back at the executive level, at the legislative level and at the judicial level, be it local, state or the federal government. But worse, the government supports special interest groups in a big way, again with our tax money, to fight against us.
In a war and we are in a war of ideas, ideology and philosophy, when the other side holds most of the “aces”, and they do, the opposing side had better resort to the winning tactics of generals who are out numbered, out gunned and out spent. Being nice is not one of those tactics.
General Washington changed the field of battle by employing guerilla warfare. The British moaned and groaned that he wasn’t fighting fair. Tough! As he was out numbered, he turned to the messages of passion and patriotism to motivate his men. When he was out spent, he enlisted the help of the enemy of his enemies, France. Conservative Americans are not in a shooting war ….. yet, but if they do not start resorting to the strategy of winning and cease being nice, they will most certainly lose and so will freedom and liberty. One of the ways you can start fighting back is to issue “The Mandate.”
You can ignore this Absolute Democrat Monarchy (ADM) that socialist Democrats have created at your own peril, but ADM isn’t going to go away on its own. It is only going to get stronger.

“Biden, You’re Not A President.
You’re Just An Old Fool!”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

“No drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed, [senility] and love of power.” P. J. O'Rourke, a contemporary American political satirist and journalist
Somehow the people manage to elect the dimmest Democrat politicians to public office who seem to be disconnected from reality, devoid of logic and reason and without a lick of common sense. The electorate is so stupid it votes for party over substance, it votes for government dependence instead of independence and self-reliance, it votes for race over character and it votes for socialism over constitutional freedom. Now just how smart is that?
But Americans get what they vote for and they are about to get a nasty taste of what they voted for in President Joe “Jim Crow Obsessed” Biden; Kamala “Socialist hair brain” Harris; Chuck “I want my mommy” Schumer and Nancy, “I sure got a big freezer” Pelosi.
Who in their right mind would undo the highly successful immigration controls established under the previous administration and open up the southern border to every ignorant, diseased Juan, Jose’ and Miguel peasant from Central and South America and about 190 other nations on this earth, many of which would like to destroy our way of life and blow us up? What Biden has done is not just grossly negligent. It is criminal, if not treasonous.
Anyone with half a brain knows that Joe Biden, by executive action, let the evil immigration genie out of the bottle and now, because of pride or politics or both, won’t or refuses to corral the genie and put her back in the bottle. The rest of America must now pay for Joe’s lame brain politically driven stupidity and our culture will be forever altered from its constitutional foundation. Meanwhile, illegal aliens are literally getting away with murder while the rest of legal Americans are slaves to the law and subject to ever-rising taxes to pay for it all.
What possible reason could there be to waive all or a portion of student loan debt, except to buy votes from ignorant Americans while responsible Americans paid or are paying off their debt? On what planet do these nut cases live to think that providing free college tuition is a great idea other than to buy votes from prepubescent college kids and their parents? That’s what Joe and his cadre of Democrat misfits want to do.
What motive must President Biden and the socialist Democrats have for burying the next several generations in un-payable debt with two trillion here and a couple of more trillion there? To buy more votes of course. However, virtually every economist will tell you, too many dollars in circulation can lead to run-away inflation where everyone, including the poor, pay the inflation tax in higher prices. Why do we let these imbeciles anywhere near our money?
What evil occupies the minds of the inventors of Critical Race Theory, (CRT) a theory that is designed to tick off 70% of the population and divide us even more than we are divided now? It’s diabolical! Behind our backs CRT has found its way into all of our institutions, including our schools and colleges and even our military. How did CRT get there? A black college professor, lawyer and civil rights activist by the name of Derrick Bell, along with Allan Freeman and Richard Delgado, another professor-lawyer, came up with this theory in the 1970’s because they were obsessed with racial inequality. So to correct racial inequality through CRT they pitted the white race against the black race in what can only be called nothing less than reverse racism. Are they trying their best to start a civil war?
In New York state they are planning to use taxpayer money, $2 billion of it, to pay illegal aliens that lost their jobs during the pandemic at the rate of $15,600 per alien, illegal aliens that are being rewarded for braking our laws to get here. Why aren’t legal, incensed Americans rushing the capitol of New York in Albany and tarring and feathering the stupid politicians who came up with this idea. And it’s not just New York that came up with this vile boondoggle. Joe and his merry band of socialist Democrat cutthroats wants to pay illegal aliens taxpayer dollars and free health care, along with granting them all amnesty. Have Democrat politicians gone stark raving mad, or do they have a death wish?
But one of the worst Joe Biden insanities and obscenities is attempting to shut down fossil fuels and trying to replace them with intermittent, inefficient wind and solar power in the name of man-caused global warming. First, it can’t be done without papering the entire continent with wind farms and solar arrays. Second, such an attempt will drive the cost of energy up by several factors on those that can least afford it. Third, the environmental damage and human rights abuses to obtain the raw materials for wind and solar far exceed their benefit. (Read it all here at: “Climate”)
Approximately 80% of all American energy comes from fossil fuels. It runs our cars, buses, trucks, trains and airplanes. It heats our homes, it creates electricity for lighting, appliances and charging our electric vehicles. It provides the raw materials for plastics, resins, synthetics and products for nylon stockings, paint, etc. A modern society could not run without fossil fuels and not only would abandoning fossil fuels throw us back to pioneer days and outhouses, it would send the current American society into absolute chaos. (Read “Back To The Future”) And yet the deranged idiots that are now running this asylum believe we can somehow eliminate fossil fuels and still maintain our current standard of living. Abandoning fossil fuels isn’t progress and it won’t solve climate change. It is unnecessarily punitive on the general population and in fact it is grossly negligent if not just plain stupid. Not only that, the reasons for doing so, are a fraud.
Now Joe and the gun-control nuts want to restrict the right of gun ownership even more by saying that “no amendment is absolute,” meaning the Second Amendment of course. With a stroke of his pen, an offhanded remark and his utterance as his Holiness God, Joe and his socialist cohorts finally came clean about the intent of government to relieve you of those pesky Bill of Rights that get in the way of the government to govern and more particularly the Second Amendment.
If Joe was trying to invoke insurrection, he is getting mighty close. If government keeps nipping away at the Second Amendment such that it no longer has any effect in law as a God-given right, can a revolution be just around the corner? There are tens of millions of Americans who won’t give up their guns without a fight. America isn’t Great Britain or Australia. The Second Amendment is enshrined in the psyche’ of almost 100,000,000 patriotic Americans. It WILL NOT be repealed in the hearts and minds of the American people because government says it is so.
After getting the socialist Democrats in Congress to vote for a massive $1.9 Trillion Covid rescue bill that wasn’t Covid rescue at all, without a single Republican vote, Joe now wants the socialist Democrats in Congress to pass an infrastructure bill where just a small portion of it is for infrastructure. 90% of the bill is to buy votes and make the people more dependent on government, just like socialist Democrats Wilson, Roosevelt, Johnson and Obama have done.
But this alleged infrastructure bill requires a 60% majority vote. To get around the 60% threshold, the socialist Democrats are seriously considering the repeal of the Senate filibuster rule, giving the Democrats the power to pass any socialist legislation they want by a simple majority. They won’t ever need Republicans again to pass legislation as long as the Senate maintains at least a 50-50 split or better between Democrats and Republicans.
If you will remember, when the Democrats were in control of both houses and Obama was president, that is how we got Obama Care. Not a single Republican voted for this nationalization of 20% of our economy and as the Republicans quickly found out, Obama Care can’t be repealed. This 1,000-page law is now set in stone even though it was hopelessly flawed from the beginning.
There are many actions that Joe Biden and the Democrats have in-acted or are attempting to in-act, that are the antithesis of a free society and a Constitutional Republic. Each one is designed to tear apart the fabric of liberty and force us all under the huge umbrella of unbridled, out-of-control government.

Ladies and gentlemen, if slow Joe is not just plain stupid, senile, or insane, that only leaves two other possibilities.

Somehow the people manage to elect the dimmest Democrat politicians to public office who seem to be disconnected from reality, devoid of logic and reason and without a lick of common sense. The electorate is so stupid it votes for party over substance, it votes for government dependence instead of independence and self-reliance, it votes for race over character and it votes for socialism over constitutional freedom. Now just how smart is that?
But Americans get what they vote for and they are about to get a nasty taste of what they voted for in President Joe “Jim Crow Obsessed” Biden; Kamala “Socialist hair brain” Harris; Chuck “I want my mommy” Schumer and Nancy, “I sure got a big freezer” Pelosi.
Who in their right mind would undo the highly successful immigration controls established under the previous administration and open up the southern border to every ignorant, diseased Juan, Jose’ and Miguel peasant from Central and South America and about 190 other nations on this earth, many of which would like to destroy our way of life and blow us up? What Biden has done is not just grossly negligent. It is criminal, if not treasonous.
Anyone with half a brain knows that Joe Biden, by executive action, let the evil immigration genie out of the bottle and now, because of pride or politics or both, won’t or refuses to corral the genie and put her back in the bottle. The rest of America must now pay for Joe’s lame brain politically driven stupidity and our culture will be forever altered from its constitutional foundation. Meanwhile, illegal aliens are literally getting away with murder while the rest of legal Americans are slaves to the law and subject to ever-rising taxes to pay for it all.
What possible reason could there be to waive all or a portion of student loan debt, except to buy votes from ignorant Americans while responsible Americans paid or are paying off their debt? On what planet do these nut cases live to think that providing free college tuition is a great idea other than to buy votes from prepubescent college kids and their parents? That’s what Joe and his cadre of Democrat misfits want to do.
What motive must President Biden and the socialist Democrats have for burying the next several generations in un-payable debt with two trillion here and a couple of more trillion there? To buy more votes of course. However, virtually every economist will tell you, too many dollars in circulation can lead to run-away inflation where everyone, including the poor, pay the inflation tax in higher prices. Why do we let these imbeciles anywhere near our money?
What evil occupies the minds of the inventors of Critical Race Theory, (CRT) a theory that is designed to tick off 70% of the population and divide us even more than we are divided now? It’s diabolical! Behind our backs CRT has found its way into all of our institutions, including our schools and colleges and even our military. How did CRT get there? A black college professor, lawyer and civil rights activist by the name of Derrick Bell, along with Allan Freeman and Richard Delgado, another professor-lawyer, came up with this theory in the 1970’s because they were obsessed with racial inequality. So to correct racial inequality through CRT they pitted the white race against the black race in what can only be called nothing less than reverse racism. Are they trying their best to start a civil war?
In New York state they are planning to use taxpayer money, $2 billion of it, to pay illegal aliens that lost their jobs during the pandemic at the rate of $15,600 per alien, illegal aliens that are being rewarded for braking our laws to get here. Why aren’t legal, incensed Americans rushing the capitol of New York in Albany and tarring and feathering the stupid politicians who came up with this idea. And it’s not just New York that came up with this vile boondoggle. Joe and his merry band of socialist Democrat cutthroats wants to pay illegal aliens taxpayer dollars and free health care, along with granting them all amnesty. Have Democrat politicians gone stark raving mad, or do they have a death wish?
But one of the worst Joe Biden insanities and obscenities is attempting to shut down fossil fuels and trying to replace them with intermittent, inefficient wind and solar power in the name of man-caused global warming. First, it can’t be done without papering the entire continent with wind farms and solar arrays. Second, such an attempt will drive the cost of energy up by several factors on those that can least afford it. Third, the environmental damage and human rights abuses to obtain the raw materials for wind and solar far exceed their benefit. (Read it all here at: “Climate”)
Approximately 80% of all American energy comes from fossil fuels. It runs our cars, buses, trucks, trains and airplanes. It heats our homes, it creates electricity for lighting, appliances and charging our electric vehicles. It provides the raw materials for plastics, resins, synthetics and products for nylon stockings, paint, etc. A modern society could not run without fossil fuels and not only would abandoning fossil fuels throw us back to pioneer days and outhouses, it would send the current American society into absolute chaos. (Read “Back To The Future”) And yet the deranged idiots that are now running this asylum believe we can somehow eliminate fossil fuels and still maintain our current standard of living. Abandoning fossil fuels isn’t progress and it won’t solve climate change. It is unnecessarily punitive on the general population and in fact it is grossly negligent if not just plain stupid. Not only that, the reasons for doing so, are a fraud.
Now Joe and the gun-control nuts want to restrict the right of gun ownership even more by saying that “no amendment is absolute,” meaning the Second Amendment of course. With a stroke of his pen, an offhanded remark and his utterance as his Holiness God, Joe and his socialist cohorts finally came clean about the intent of government to relieve you of those pesky Bill of Rights that get in the way of the government to govern and more particularly the Second Amendment.
If Joe was trying to invoke insurrection, he is getting mighty close. If government keeps nipping away at the Second Amendment such that it no longer has any effect in law as a God-given right, can a revolution be just around the corner? There are tens of millions of Americans who won’t give up their guns without a fight. America isn’t Great Britain or Australia. The Second Amendment is enshrined in the psyche’ of almost 100,000,000 patriotic Americans. It WILL NOT be repealed in the hearts and minds of the American people because government says it is so.
After getting the socialist Democrats in Congress to vote for a massive $1.9 Trillion Covid rescue bill that wasn’t Covid rescue at all, without a single Republican vote, Joe now wants the socialist Democrats in Congress to pass an infrastructure bill where just a small portion of it is for infrastructure. 90% of the bill is to buy votes and make the people more dependent on government, just like socialist Democrats Wilson, Roosevelt, Johnson and Obama have done.
But this alleged infrastructure bill requires a 60% majority vote. To get around the 60% threshold, the socialist Democrats are seriously considering the repeal of the Senate filibuster rule, giving the Democrats the power to pass any socialist legislation they want by a simple majority. They won’t ever need Republicans again to pass legislation as long as the Senate maintains at least a 50-50 split or better between Democrats and Republicans.
If you will remember, when the Democrats were in control of both houses and Obama was president, that is how we got Obama Care. Not a single Republican voted for this nationalization of 20% of our economy and as the Republicans quickly found out, Obama Care can’t be repealed. This 1,000-page law is now set in stone even though it was hopelessly flawed from the beginning.
There are many actions that Joe Biden and the Democrats have in-acted or are attempting to in-act, that are the antithesis of a free society and a Constitutional Republic. Each one is designed to tear apart the fabric of liberty and force us all under the huge umbrella of unbridled, out-of-control government. Each one has the specific, premeditated goal of reducing the entire population to nothing but serfs and slaves to an almighty, centralized government, the founding father’s worst nightmare. That is precisely because “the people manage to elect the dimmest Democrat politicians to public office who seem to be disconnected from reality, devoid of logic and reason and without a lick of common sense.” Some Republicans fit that category as well. Joe Biden is just one of those dim bulbs (and we do mean dim) that got elected by fraud, deceit and unconstitutional acts, aided and abetted by the corrupt news media and the hopelessly and even more corrupt social media.

“Conservatives Had Better Learn How To Start Saying No!”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.
© Copyright Sunday, April 4, 2021 - All Rights Reserved
“Civil disobedience, as I put it to the audience, was not the problem, despite the warnings of some that it threatened social stability, that it led to anarchy. The greatest danger, I argued, was civil obedience, the submission of individual conscience to governmental authority. Such obedience led to the horrors we saw in totalitarian states, and in liberal states it led to the public's acceptance of war whenever the so-called democratic government decided on it. In such a world, the rule of law maintains things as they are. Therefore, to begin the process of change, to stop a war, to establish justice, it may be necessary to break the law, to commit acts of civil disobedience, as Southern blacks did, as antiwar protesters did.” ― By Howard Zinn, from “You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train”
God knows government and special interests that have aligned with government, have given millions of Americans many reasons to engage in civil disobedience. In fact, civil disobedience is long past due. Unfortunately, the passiveness of the American people seems to know no bounds and they will bow down to anything that government demands. (See: “Why On Earth Do Americans Put Up With It”)
From unnecessary lock downs, to face masks, to the possibility of vaccine passports, to millions of laws, rules, regulations, restrictions, ordinances, rising gas prices, rising taxes, an exploding national debt that will trigger massive inflation, along with wide-open borders, all brought to you by the socialist Democrat ruling class who have lost their minds and forgot what country they live in, Americans are about to get hammered like never before. But where is the push back? Where is the resistance to tyranny? When will rampant government corruption be fully exposed for all to see?
At least one person is saying NO! He summed it up in a message to a couple of state legislators regarding a proposed bill to raise property taxes. He said and we quote:
“So let me understand what you are trying to do with this House Bill. You want to raise property taxes even though thousands are out of work due to the virus situation. You want to raise taxes even though millions have been spent on the homeless and nothing has improved. You want to raise taxes even though the minimum wage has increased and instead of helping, many restaurants have gone out of business. So instead of raising income levels, many are now without jobs. You want to increase taxes while inflation is showing its ugly head, with fuel prices increasing every day. By the way, how is it that electric powered vehicles do not pay any road tax, and to add insult they get a tax credit? So you want to increase property taxes while small businesses can hardly keep their doors open. A local bakery, nearly one hundred years in business, just closed their doors. You want to increase property taxes even though you have allowed thugs to take over part of a major city, all the while supporting de-funding the police. This is insanity at its peak. Raising taxes is the easy thing to do, cutting costs takes much more skill and commitment. Taxes are bleeding us dry and it is time to say NO MORE.
Another person had the guts to say NO! by writing the following message to the youngsters in our midst:
“It’s time for children to get their heads out of their iPhones and start thinking. So they think everything is going to be ok? Tell that to the 6 million Jewish souls murdered by the Nazis. Tell that to the few survivors of the Holocaust. Tell that to the people that gave their lives for us buried in Arlington. Tell that to the brave soldiers buried in Normandy.”
”Tell that to the 33,686 American soldiers that died in the Korean war, or the 58,148 service members that died in North Vietnam and Cambodia”. (Note: This entire war was mishandled by “intellectual giants” that know nothing about military tactics. Remember McNamara, the idiot that insisted on one aircraft for all three services, the F-111. A TOTAL FLOP.”)
”Tell that to many of our military that are in wheel chairs and will never walk again.”
”Tell that to the 48,744 individuals that committed suicide last year because that was the ‘only way
out.’ Tell that to the 841,000 people that died from drug overdose since 1999, drugs that came mostly from the Mexican drug cartels due to Democrat open border policies.”
”So everything will be ok? Think so? These facts are no laughing matter that you can just ignore as trivial. Get your head out of you’re a …s and set your iPhone aside for a few minutes: Everything will NOT be ok. Not one, not one socialistic country has EVER SURVIVED and yet that is where we are headed. The American people are letting it happen right before their very eyes.“
”It is called history, but I guess you have to be able to read and think to proceed in that direction. So these ‘children’ actually believe they are getting an education. It isn’t education, it’s ‘brainwashing.’"
”We have corrupt government, with a corrupt congress. We have a corrupt election process. The people will become slaves. Hey children, still think everything will be ok?”
”It’s a good thing that most of the guns are held by conservatives.”
This guy said NO!. Why aren’t other Americans saying NO!?
Did Americans say NO! when the Dem’s passed a $1.9 Trillion Covid stimulus bill that wasn’t Covid relief but instead was payoffs to Democrat donors and constituents? They are now about to pass a $2.25 Trillion “infrastructure” bill that isn’t an infrastructure bill but just another dump into the laps of Democrat friends, associates and voters. Will Americans say NO!?
Did Americans say no when Biden signed an executive order that opened up our southern border to tens of thousands of poor, indigent, uneducated, Covid-infected peasants that has turned into a major immigration crisis? Will they say NO! when the Democrats grant amnesty to 22,000,000 illegal aliens? (See: "Illegal Aliens Have More Rights Than American Taxpayers”)
Where were Americans when the Progressives turned public schools from objective learning, to centers of social, environmental and one-world indoctrination? Subjectively vague social equity now takes priority over math, reading, writing, geography and history. That’s nuts if not patently evil.
Why didn’t Americans say NO! when Biden signed an executive order that forced girl’s sports to compete with male participants just because some male thought he was a female?
Did Americans say NO! when Democrat-run state and city governments promised and paid huge un-funded pension benefits to government employees to buy votes, sending the states and cities headlong into bankruptcy. Now they have to be bailed out by Republican-run, fiscally responsible, red states.
Will Americans say NO! when the Democrats repeal the Electoral College and the Senate filibuster?
Will they say NO! when the Democrats are able to grant Washington DC and Puerto Rico statehood, thereby locking up America into one-party rule in perpetuity?
Will they say no when Democrats are successful in packing the U. S. Supreme Court with their own liberal cronies? If they are successful, the U. S. Constitution will be cut to shreds, all because the people refused to say NO!
Will Americans finally say NO! to the fraud that is Climate Change and the Green New Deal that is just more socialist hogwash, cooked up by Democrats to control the masses and transfer the wealth? (See: “Climate”)
Saying NO! doesn’t necessarily mean violence. Civil disobedience “is the active, professed refusal of a citizen to obey certain laws, demands, orders, or commands of a government. By some definitions, civil disobedience has to be nonviolent to be called "civil". Hence, civil disobedience is sometimes equated with peaceful protests or nonviolent resistance.”
Henry David Thoreau went further on the subject of civil disobedience. “Thoreau asserts that because governments are typically more harmful than helpful, they therefore cannot be justified. Democracy is no cure for this, as majorities simply by virtue of being majorities do not also gain the virtues of wisdom and justice. The judgment of an individual's conscience is not necessarily inferior to the decisions of a political body or majority, and so it is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right. The only obligation which I have a right to assume is to do at any time what I think right.... Law never made men a whit more just; and, by means of their respect for it, even the well-disposed are daily made the agents of injustice. Thoreau adds, ‘I cannot for an instant recognize as my government [that] which is the slave's government also.’”
The government, according to Thoreau, “is not just a little corrupt or unjust in the course of doing its otherwise-important work, but in fact the government is primarily an agent of corruption and injustice. Because of this, it is ‘not too soon for honest men to rebel and revolutionize.’”
(Source: Wikipedia)
Eventually, after years of in-effective peaceful protests or civil disobedience, Americans will have to say NO! But history has shown us that the people will have waited so long that their NO! will have to come out of the barrel of a gun in open revolution.
There is nothing worse than an American, an American mind you, that would shrink from his or her duty and obligation to preserve, protect and defend freedom and the Constitution of the United States. There is nothing worse than an American who refuses to acknowledge the approaching danger and does nothing to protect his or her spouse and children from that danger. Why do Americans look the other way when their own freedom hangs in the balance?
Easter is a time of tribute, reflection, awareness and resurrection. In the spirit of Easter, we encourage all Americans to take up the fight to “resurrect” freedom and restore the greatest nation ever to be conceived in liberty since civilization began some 6,000 years ago, by saying NO! to tyranny and corruption. If we spent just half the time defending freedom as we do practicing our religion, America would still be a free country.
If you really want to say NO! to government tyranny and corruption, we’ve designed a powerful tool for that purpose. We call it “The Mandate” from “We The People.” Take the time to review it and then follow the instructions. It doesn’t require a signature. We have created a PDF file and a WORD file of “The Mandate” for those who are interested. Make it go viral so that it will have national impact. At least do something that will show you intend to say NO! and mean it.

“Conservatives Are Splintered,
Fractured, Divided and Ineffective”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

"It is easy to go down into Hell; night and day, the gates of dark Death stand wide; but to climb back again, to retrace one's steps to the upper air - there's the rub, there’s the task." Virgil, an ancient Roman poet
Never have so many tried so hard with such little effect. Conservatives have had all the impact of bumper cars at an amusement park. They keep bumping into each other with their own individual ideas, concepts and solutions on how to defeat the socialist Democrat horde but can’t seem to come together on one solution they can all rally around.
The enemy that conservatives are up against is powerful, intractable, uncompromising, vicious and mean. Worse than that, they have the majority of the votes, mostly from government-dependent big cities. That enemy owns the news and most of the journalists. They are aided and abetted by academia and social media
They have corrupted the military with socialist and LGBTQ nonsense and are on a mission to purge the ranks of extremists. You know, like Trump voters. The United States military, the most powerful fighting force on the planet, has gone “woke.” Insane!
The socialist Democrats own Hollywood, comedians, the Oscars, the Grammies, the Emmies and the Tony awards.
Their flawed ideology is taught in public schools and colleges.
Socialist Democrats have infiltrated all of our institutions, including the secretaries and directors of government agencies and the deep state bureaucracy.
To keep us confused and fighting each other they work incessantly to divide us by race, gender, nationality, diversity, the economy, religion and rich and poor.
They are a malignant, metastasizing disease that has gone viral throughout the nation and the planet.
They are socialists, communists and fascists.
They have set up a two-tier justice system where they get off scot-free and the rest of us are subject to the law of the land. (Hunter Biden or Hillary Clinton anyone?) They are on a determined path to dominate the political class, the bureaucracy and the citizens by any means. Their power is derived from taxpayer money that is used to buy off large percentages of the ignorant population for their votes. Their recent $1.9 Trillion stimulus package was the latest example.
Their goal is one-party rule, sometimes called an Absolute Democrat Monarchy, or Dictatorship. One of their methods to accomplish one-party rule is the cancel culture where they use the entities they control to shut down conservative speech or ideas and concepts that don’t toe their party line or conflict with socialist or scientific dogma.
To demonstrate just how powerful they are and how difficult it will be to defeat them, we wrote three articles that describe the obstacles that conservatives face.
"Just How Are You Going to Unravel This Banana Republic?" 7/5/14
"Just How Are You Going to Reverse Engineer History?" 3/14/15
"Just How Are You Going to Overcome the Freeloader's Vote?" 6/27/15
Rush Limbaugh didn’t stop them. Fox News Corp’s Hannity, Tucker, Ingram, Dobbs, Varney, and all the conservative radio talk show hosts around the nation haven’t stop them. The Republicans in Congress haven’t stopped them. Some Republicans actually vote with the Democrats from time to time. These renegade Republicans say, when they vote with the Democrats, that it is in the spirit of compromise. But since when does it make sense to compromise with the enemy and forsake your own principles? Ten of these traitor Republicans voted to impeach Trump.
You don’t win a war by being nice or confront the enemy with compromise and appeasement. You win a war with sound battle strategy and a superior force. The people are that superior force provided they have a strong, charismatic leader, are organized, well funded, well equipped and united in mind and spirit. We already have the guns and the spirit. We lack the rest.
There are many failed democratic governments that morphed into dictatorships like moths into worms. The devastating trail of collapsed democracies has led to mass graves full of millions of innocent civilians, dead soldiers and patriots, each praying for a better life and freedom. The most recent Democrat failures in the 20th Century are Nazi Germany, North Korea, Iraq, Ghana, Venezuela, Uganda and Libya. They slid into a dictatorship because the masses weren’t paying attention to what their leaders were doing, or worse, they were hiding in their homes, afraid to get off the couch. Could America, England, Canada and Australia be the next victims?
Dante, an Italian poet, writer and philosopher in the 14th Century said: “The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis."
The masses are generally cowards and will bend to the will of their masters. (Masks anyone?) Remember, it is estimated that only about 3% to 6% of the Colonials took up arms against the British in 1776. That means just 3% to 6% of Americans gave birth to freedom for and on behalf of an estimated population of 2,700,000 Americans, many who were loyal to King George III.
There are thousands of small to medium size conservative groups in America, each trying to do their own thing in the hopes of making a difference. God bless them. Unfortunately, their efforts are too small to have any impact against the entrenched and powerful enemy we face. We know. For 15 years we have expended thousands of hours in that pursuit, but to no avail. When the members of the group see that they aren’t getting anywhere, they fade away into the shadows, never to be seen again and the organization closes its doors.
Even large groups like the NRA or the Tea Party Movement, with thousands of members, haven’t stopped the steep dive into socialism. Obviously, conservatives are doing something wrong, or they are so splintered, fractured and divided as to be ineffective. Conservatives have the numbers to be successful. The only thing that is keeping them from winning is they keep getting in their own way.
What is needed is a major convention of conservative group leaders (COCL) that will come up with a peaceful solution to unite all American conservatives and the 75,000,000 Trump voters, under a single plan to strip the socialist Democrats of their power and render them impotent.
Any workable solution would have to include some basic elements, which we have outlined HERE.
Conservatives can win this battle against socialism ladies and gentlemen, provided they aren’t splintered, fractured and divided.

Never have so many tried so hard with such little effect. Conservatives have had all the impact of bumper cars at an amusement park. They keep bumping into each other with their own individual ideas, concepts and solutions on how to defeat the socialist Democrat horde but can’t seem to come together on one solution they can all rally around.
The enemy that conservatives are up against is powerful, intractable, uncompromising, vicious and mean. Worse than that, they have the majority of the votes, mostly from government-dependent big cities. That enemy owns the news and most of the journalists. They are aided and abetted by academia and social media
They have corrupted the military with socialist and LGBTQ nonsense and are on a mission to purge the ranks of extremists. You know, like Trump voters. The United States military, the most powerful fighting force on the planet, has gone “woke.” Insane!
The socialist Democrats own Hollywood, comedians, the Oscars, the Grammies, the Emmies and the Tony awards.
Their flawed ideology is taught in public schools and colleges.
Socialist Democrats have infiltrated all of our institutions, including the secretaries and directors of government agencies and the deep state bureaucracy.
To keep us confused and fighting each other they work incessantly to divide us by race, gender, nationality, diversity, the economy, religion and rich and poor.
They are a malignant, metastasizing disease that has gone viral throughout the nation and the planet.
They are socialists, communists and fascists.
They have set up a two-tier justice system where they get off scot-free and the rest of us are subject to the law of the land. (Hunter Biden or Hillary Clinton anyone?) They are on a determined path to dominate the political class, the bureaucracy and the citizens by any means. Their power is derived from taxpayer money that is used to buy off large percentages of the ignorant population for their votes. Their recent $1.9 Trillion stimulus package was the latest example.
Their goal is one-party rule, sometimes called an Absolute Democrat Monarchy, or Dictatorship. One of their methods to accomplish one-party rule is the cancel culture where they use the entities they control to shut down conservative speech or ideas and concepts that don’t toe their party line or conflict with socialist or scientific dogma.

“Why On Earth Do Americans Put Up With It?”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

“Margaret Atwood’s novel, ‘The Handmaid’s Tale,’ described the horror of the authoritarian regime of Gilead. In this theocracy, self-preservation was the best people could hope for, being powerless to kick against the system. But her sequel, ‘The Testaments,’ raises the possibility that individuals, with suitable luck, bravery and cleverness, can fight back.”
“But can they? There are countless examples of past and present monstrous regimes in the real world. And they all raise the question of why people didn’t just rise up against their rulers. Some of us are quick to judge those who conform to such regimes as evil psychopaths – or at least morally inferior to ourselves.”
“What are the chances that you would be a heroic rebel in such a scenario, refusing to be complicit in maintaining or even enforcing the system?”
“The upper and middle classes in Germany during the 1920s-1940s were almost twice as likely to join the Nazi party than those with lower social status. So it may be that those who have the most to lose and/or are keen to climb the social ladder are particularly likely to conform. And, of course, if other members of your social circle are conforming, you may think it’s the appropriate thing to do.”
“Few will fight Gilead after carefully weighing up the consequences – after all, the most likely outcome is failure and obliteration. What drives forward fights against an oppressive society is a rival vision – a vision of equality, liberty and justice, and a sense that these should be defended, whatever the consequences.” From “Why people don’t stand up to dictatorships” by Nick Chatter
There is an old saying that stems from Murphy’s Law, “Anything That Can Go Wrong Probably Will”, or some version thereof. That old adage seems to have magnified itself in recent months.
First, the people elected Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for President and Vice President respectively, not withstanding the distinct possibility of massive voter fraud.
Out-of-his-head Joe then goes on an Executive Order rampage undoing most of the good things that were accomplished by the last administration. The doors to our southern border were opened wide so that anyone who wanted to come to America could (all 7 billion of them) illegally we might add, and the American taxpayer would pick up the massive tab for the illegal alien’s housing, food, clothing, education, health care and welfare. As a consequence the Coronavirus was imported to America again from Mexico and Central America and spread throughout the nation ….. during a killer pandemic where 540,000 people have died so far. This doesn’t even include the crime that is being imported to America by illegal aliens and the toll it is taking on thousands of legal American victims.
To add insult to injury the president and his socialist Democrat perpetrators are attempting to grant amnesty by legislation to millions of those aliens that have defied our laws and jumped our borders to live freely under the protections of our laws and government benefits, while taking jobs away from legal Americans. But then you know all this don’t you?
That unlawful immigration injustice was then followed by a $1.9 Trillion rescue package passed by Congress, that was more about paying off Democrat states, cities, friends and donors than it was about rescuing those hit hard by the home lock downs and business shut downs. But then you know about this as well.
But there is more, much more. Besides re-instating Critical Race Theory being shoved down the throats of government employees and turning the military into an LGBTQ training camp, dementia Joe got the U. S. House to pass the “Gender Equality Act” which has the effect of turning womanhood into second and third class citizens. The Act is now in the Senate’s hands and who knows what happens there.
And let’s not forget Speaker Pelosi’s HR 1 bill that strips the voting process away from the states and gives it to the federal government. What could go wrong? Just about everything!
The worst of Joe’s Executive Orders is to implement actions to reduce the alleged, unproven man-made climate change and to in-act sections of the Green New Deal. The net effect being a massive rise in prices associated with fossil fuels, millions of acres used up for unsightly, inefficient, highly subsidized wind and solar power, huge rare earth elements extracted from foreign countries like China, for turbines, solar panels and back-up batteries, where there are no environmental, work standards, or child labor laws.
We could go on and on about the damage that President Biden and the socialist Democrats have inflicted in just a few short months and will inflict upon America and the American people in the next two years. However, if you have been watching the news, none of this is “news” to you.
There is only one question. What are you going to do about it? There are only three alternatives: 1) do nothing, which most of you will do; 2) moan and groan about how bad it is; or 3) actually lift a finger and get in the game of rolling back what Biden and the Democrats are doing. There is a 4th alternative, revolution or civil war, but none of you will do that. In reality, everything that you see transpiring in front of your eyes should trigger a revolution or civil war. Your average colonial in 1776 went to war for far less than we are enduring at this point in America’s history.
What most people don’t seem to understand is “their power is greater than those that rule them.” Individually, you have no power at all. Together, in large numbers, you have unbeatable power. That power, applied in the right direction and in the right places, can affect the outcome of government decisions and policies. Your effectiveness is measured by the strength and volume of your message and your determination to see it through.
But if you lay low and out of sight in the hopes of not getting noticed by the arrogant oligarchs who control your lives, you will eventually be taken by surprise when that SWAT team appears on your door step charging you with a violation of some law, rule, or regulation about which you have no knowledge. Unbeknownst to you, it is already happening all across America right now. Homes are being broken into, farms and businesses are being raided and government agents and law enforcement are arresting people for minor infractions, or no infractions at all. Most of these people were unaware that they had broken any laws. Some were violating the law on purpose to resist government encroachment in their lives, like small businesses are doing in response to the covid shut downs. (See: “Too Many Laws”)
For those of you NOT hiding in your closet, we have developed a way you can fight back with very little effort on your part and in such a manner that government can’t identify you. If done on a large enough scale, from tens of thousands or even millions of patriots all over America, its ability to change government decisions and policy is unquestionable. We call it “The Mandate” from “We The People.”
We say, “ Why On Earth Do Americans Put Up With It?” Perhaps they wouldn’t put up with it, if they had the right tools, a simple method to make a difference, a way to stay anonymous and little effort to get the job done.
If you really care about your country, take the time to read over “|The Mandate” and follow the directions on how to proceed. It is just a matter of printing it out, checking off the boxes you think should be included, add your state and personal code that only you know, then send it to the President and your senators and representatives, state and federal. Your cost is a few minutes of your time, some envelopes and some stamps. You CAN make a difference, but only if you get in the game.

“All I Want Is Government Out Of My Face”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.
© Copyright Sunday, March 14, 2021 - All Rights Reserved
“I believe the American people have a genuine and justifiable fear of government intrusion in what they instinctively know is going to be an ever more intrusive world.” Joe Biden, when he wasn't president of the United States
“If the right to privacy means anything, it is the right of the individual, married or single, to be free from unwarranted governmental intrusion.” William J. Brennan, Jr., a liberal U. S. Supreme Court associate justice (1956 to 1990)
Neither the Joe Biden of yesterday, or what is left of Joe’s addled brain today, knew just how prophetic he was about an intrusive world. Government intrusion into our lives has exploded since Biden made the comment years ago.
Nor did the liberal William J. Brennan, Jr. of the U. S. Supreme Court really believe in the statement he made. Both men were and are the personification of government intrusion.
As the current president of the United States Joe Biden’s actions have been massive intrusions in the lives of every American. Killing private sector jobs, to creating a humanitarian crisis on our southern border, to interfering in gender differences for insane purposes, to creating a false racial narrative and instituting race indoctrination, to changing voting laws in violation of the Constitution and whatever else he did by executive fiat, Joe Biden poked his finger into the eye of every single American constituency group in his first few days of his presidency. Many of his first orders and decisions are direct violations of his oath of office and border on outright treason, ample evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors rising to the level of impeachment.
Liberal U. S. Supreme Court associate justice William J. Brennan was a staunch opponent of the death penalty, supporter of abortion rights, and joined the majority on the court in landmark rulings on both issues in Furman v. Georgia (1972) on the death penalty and Rove v. Wade (1973) on abortion. The suffering of the victims of death row inmates and the cost to society to maintain the inmates for life, were a second and third priority to Brennan. The lives of millions of terminated babies were also not a consideration. Both of Brennan’s decisions were a major intrusion into American lives.
This is just one political individual and one judicial individual that believe and act as if they were Gods of morality, racial and discrimination referees, immigration psychologists, health care professionals, mother’s milk to the poor and down trodden (with other people’s money) and the final arbiters and deciders of appropriate human behavior. In their minds, they know what is best for all of us and they mean to shove their brand of morality down our proverbial throats based on the words of over-educated socialist idiots. They are the ultimate, in-your-face intruders of the people’s rights and free choice, as are most politicians and bureaucrats of contemporary America. They are the purveyors of government tyranny, enforced slavery and human bondage.
These politicians are the antithesis of the Jeffersonian ideology of “a wise and frugal government which shall restrain men from injuring one another but which would otherwise ‘leave them alone’ to regulate their own affairs.” Whatever happened to “leave them alone?”
Sadly, in their lust for power over the people, politicians of every color and stripe, think it is their duty and responsibility to “rule” over the masses based on their own set of warped principles and distorted biases without regard to constitutional mandates. In way too many cases those principles and biases are in direct conflict with the Supreme Law of the Land and the foundation of liberty.
What these politicians forget is, that most people are trustworthy and honest and just want to be left alone to live out their lives in peace and whatever prosperity they can muster, while raising and educating one or more offspring. The last thing they want is the giant nose of an intrusive government knocking on their front door; turning their children’s education into socialist and radical environmental indoctrination; usurping their property rights with strangling regulations; initiating military strikes or going to war without provocation; allow hordes of illegal aliens to invade our country; forcing vaccinations upon them by government edict; confiscate their guns or otherwise ‘infringe’ upon the 2nd Amendment with legislation; stealing their money with usurious taxes; taking over their health care to be run by liberal government bureaucrats; regulating every aspect of their lives; disturbing their sanctity and tranquility; or invading their bedrooms. And we don’t want to be “bought off” for our votes with money borrowed from the public treasury that is hopelessly bankrupt.
What most Americans do want is for government to efficiently handle the duties of government like managing the public’s money as a fiduciary, enforcing the law and reducing crime with adequate and properly trained law enforcement, forcefully controlling our borders, maintaining the nation’s infrastructure, conducting foreign policy in the interest of a sovereign America, caring for America’s veterans and defending Americans against all enemies, foreign or domestic. Most freedom-loving Americans also want government to be constrained by the enumerated powers contained in the U. S. Constitution, a duty that politicians are want to criminally ignore the moment they set foot in the House of Horrors known as the U. S. Congress. The recent passage of the $1.9 Trillion stimulus bill was anything but the managing of the public’s money as a fiduciary.
Instead, this is what government has done to the American people in the last 100 years under Progressivism as described in a heart-felt response to our last article, “No-No-No! Your Rights Come From Government, Not God” from a Nebraska lady. She conveys the hopelessness that so many Americans feel right now about how we are being governed and we are headed as a nation. She wrote: “Your article sends chills down my spine over and over. I agree with every single thing you stated. I too have written my Nebraska reps and got canned responses, never addressing the real problems we are facing. They just tell me what wonderful things they are doing for Nebraska (agriculture, schools, infrastructure, and tours of Nebraskans who visit Washington). I do not know what to do about it. I believe it is way too late. If anyone tries to stand up and stop it now, it will have to be through civil war...and this war will NOT be just the North vs. the South. It will be liberal vs. conservative, Christians vs. Atheists, straight vs. gay, republicans vs. democrats, blacks vs. whites, and then throw in a mix of Antifa, BLM, MS-13, REAL white supremacists, Muslims and even rich vs. poor. This will be horrific. I feel like it is too late and all I can do is weep for my grandchildren and pray.”
Her lament is what millions of Americans are feeling right now and illustrates how government and special interests have divided Americans up into opposing groups who compete with each other for the spoils of government instead of being united as Americans in liberty, self-reliance, independence and individual responsibility.
George Washington is purported to have said: “ Government is not reason, it is not eloquence — it is force. Like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master; never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.”
We shall add to Washington’s quote with, “To turn one’s back on government is to invite one’s own enslavement.” And boy have we been turning our backs on government. The result was totally predictable.
Nevertheless, those in government should be wary of too much control over the masses, especially in America. We’ve known freedom like no other nation on earth and will eventually fight to the death to preserve it. The Second Amendment and a heavily armed population give us the means to defend those freedoms. People who want to be left alone but are intruded upon by a vicious enemy like a tyrannical government, can and will become the fiercest of all fighters with nothing to lose when they take up arms.
We shall close with an anonymous quote that personifies the “Man Who Wants To Be Left Alone” and wants “government out of his face.” This prophetic and timely quote was provided to us by one of our Virginia readers.
“The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of ‘Men Who Wanted To Left Alone.’ They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back knowing the force and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment ‘The Men Who Wanted To Be Left Alone’ are forced to fight back, it is a small form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be … which is why, when forced to take up violence, these ‘Men Who Want To Be Left Alone’ fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. True terror will arrive at the left’s front door and they will cry, scream and beg for mercy but it will fall on the deaf ears of the ‘Man Who Just Wants To Be Left Alone.’”
The socialist Democrats, who are dead set on enslaving the rest of us, would be wise to heed this warning from the “Man Who Wants To Be Left Alone.” One day those socialist Democrats will push too hard or go too far and the shot heard ‘round the world will pierce the silence of a human population and arrogant leaders that have grown deaf to the cries of free people everywhere, as they utter the immortal, ferocious, determined scream of “let my people go.” From the moment that scream leaves their lips, they will “fight with raw hate and unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives.” We are indeed dangerously close to that time.

“If the right to privacy means anything, it is the right of the individual, married or single, to be free from unwarranted governmental intrusion.” William J. Brennan, Jr., a liberal U. S. Supreme Court associate justice (1956 to 1990)
Neither the Joe Biden of yesterday, or what is left of Joe’s addled brain today, knew just how prophetic he was about an intrusive world. Government intrusion into our lives has exploded since Biden made the comment years ago.
Nor did the liberal William J. Brennan, Jr. of the U. S. Supreme Court really believe in the statement he made. Both men were and are the personification of government intrusion.
As the current president of the United States Joe Biden’s actions have been massive intrusions in the lives of every American. Killing private sector jobs, to creating a humanitarian crisis on our southern border, to interfering in gender differences for insane purposes, to creating a false racial narrative and instituting race indoctrination, to changing voting laws in violation of the Constitution and whatever else he did by executive fiat, Joe Biden poked his finger into the eye of every single American constituency group in his first few days of his presidency. Many of his first orders and decisions are direct violations of his oath of office and border on outright treason, ample evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors rising to the level of impeachment.
Liberal U. S. Supreme Court associate justice William J. Brennan was a staunch opponent of the death penalty, supporter of abortion rights, and joined the majority on the court in landmark rulings on both issues in Furman v. Georgia (1972) on the death penalty and Rove v. Wade (1973) on abortion. The suffering of the victims of death row inmates and the cost to society to maintain the inmates for life, were a second and third priority to Brennan. The lives of millions of terminated babies were also not a consideration. Both of Brennan’s decisions were a major intrusion into American lives.
This is just one political individual and one judicial individual that believe and act as if they were Gods of morality, racial and discrimination referees, immigration psychologists, health care professionals, mother’s milk to the poor and down trodden (with other people’s money) and the final arbiters and deciders of appropriate human behavior. In their minds, they know what is best for all of us and they mean to shove their brand of morality down our proverbial throats based on the words of over-educated socialist idiots. They are the ultimate, in-your-face intruders of the people’s rights and free choice, as are most politicians and bureaucrats of contemporary America. They are the purveyors of government tyranny, enforced slavery and human bondage.
These politicians are the antithesis of the Jeffersonian ideology of “a wise and frugal government which shall restrain men from injuring one another but which would otherwise ‘leave them alone’ to regulate their own affairs.” Whatever happened to “leave them alone?”
Sadly, in their lust for power over the people, politicians of every color and stripe, think it is their duty and responsibility to “rule” over the masses based on their own set of warped principles and distorted biases without regard to constitutional mandates. In way too many cases those principles and biases are in direct conflict with the Supreme Law of the Land and the foundation of liberty.
What these politicians forget is, that most people are trustworthy and honest and just want to be left alone to live out their lives in peace and whatever prosperity they can muster, while raising and educating one or more offspring. The last thing they want is the giant nose of an intrusive government knocking on their front door; turning their children’s education into socialist and radical environmental indoctrination; usurping their property rights with strangling regulations; initiating military strikes or going to war without provocation; allow hordes of illegal aliens to invade our country; forcing vaccinations upon them by government edict; confiscate their guns or otherwise ‘infringe’ upon the 2nd Amendment with legislation; stealing their money with usurious taxes; taking over their health care to be run by liberal government bureaucrats; regulating every aspect of their lives; disturbing their sanctity and tranquility; or invading their bedrooms. And we don’t want to be “bought off” for our votes with money borrowed from the public treasury that is hopelessly bankrupt.
What most Americans do want is for government to efficiently handle the duties of government like managing the public’s money as a fiduciary, enforcing the law and reducing crime with adequate and properly trained law enforcement, forcefully controlling our borders, maintaining the nation’s infrastructure, conducting foreign policy in the interest of a sovereign America, caring for America’s veterans and defending Americans against all enemies, foreign or domestic. Most freedom-loving Americans also want government to be constrained by the enumerated powers contained in the U. S. Constitution, a duty that politicians are want to criminally ignore the moment they set foot in the House of Horrors known as the U. S. Congress. The recent passage of the $1.9 Trillion stimulus bill was anything but the managing of the public’s money as a fiduciary.
Instead, this is what government has done to the American people in the last 100 years under Progressivism as described in a heart-felt response to our last article, “No-No-No! Your Rights Come From Government, Not God” from a Nebraska lady. She conveys the hopelessness that so many Americans feel right now about how we are being governed and we are headed as a nation. She wrote: “Your article sends chills down my spine over and over. I agree with every single thing you stated. I too have written my Nebraska reps and got canned responses, never addressing the real problems we are facing. They just tell me what wonderful things they are doing for Nebraska (agriculture, schools, infrastructure, and tours of Nebraskans who visit Washington). I do not know what to do about it. I believe it is way too late. If anyone tries to stand up and stop it now, it will have to be through civil war...and this war will NOT be just the North vs. the South. It will be liberal vs. conservative, Christians vs. Atheists, straight vs. gay, republicans vs. democrats, blacks vs. whites, and then throw in a mix of Antifa, BLM, MS-13, REAL white supremacists, Muslims and even rich vs. poor. This will be horrific. I feel like it is too late and all I can do is weep for my grandchildren and pray.”
Her lament is what millions of Americans are feeling right now and illustrates how government and special interests have divided Americans up into opposing groups who compete with each other for the spoils of government instead of being united as Americans in liberty, self-reliance, independence and individual responsibility.
George Washington is purported to have said: “ Government is not reason, it is not eloquence — it is force. Like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master; never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.”
We shall add to Washington’s quote with, “To turn one’s back on government is to invite one’s own enslavement.” And boy have we been turning our backs on government. The result was totally predictable.
Nevertheless, those in government should be wary of too much control over the masses, especially in America. We’ve known freedom like no other nation on earth and will eventually fight to the death to preserve it. The Second Amendment and a heavily armed population give us the means to defend those freedoms. People who want to be left alone but are intruded upon by a vicious enemy like a tyrannical government, can and will become the fiercest of all fighters with nothing to lose when they take up arms.
We shall close with an anonymous quote that personifies the “Man Who Wants To Be Left Alone” and wants “government out of his face.” This prophetic and timely quote was provided to us by one of our Virginia readers.
“The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of ‘Men Who Wanted To Left Alone.’ They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back knowing the force and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment ‘The Men Who Wanted To Be Left Alone’ are forced to fight back, it is a small form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be … which is why, when forced to take up violence, these ‘Men Who Want To Be Left Alone’ fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives.

True terror will arrive at the left’s front door and they will cry, scream and beg for mercy but it will fall on the deaf ears of the ‘Man Who Just Wants To Be Left Alone.’”
The socialist Democrats, who are dead set on enslaving the rest of us, would be wise to heed this warning from the “Man Who Wants To Be Left Alone.” One day those socialist Democrats will push too hard or go too far and the shot heard ‘round the world will pierce the silence of a human population and arrogant leaders that have grown deaf to the cries of free people everywhere, as they utter the immortal, ferocious, determined scream of “let my people go.” From the moment that scream leaves their lips, they will “fight with raw hate and unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives.” We are indeed dangerously close to that time.

“No-No-No! Your Rights Come From Government, Not God”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.
© Copyright Sunday, March 7, 2021 - All Rights Reserved
“It is remarkable how easily children and grown-ups adapt to living in a dictatorship, organized by lunatics.” A. N. Wilson, an English writer and newspaper columnist
“Dictatorship naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme liberty.” Plato (428 to 348 BCE) 2,500 years ago
Sure! We know you have been told otherwise. You thought you were free because your rights are natural rights, a gift from the almighty. Those rights aren’t derived from the power of government. That would be contrary to all of the utterances of philosophers since Plato and Aristotle.
But just because a bunch of well-heeled white men set up a framework of government a couple of hundred years ago that established individual rights, doesn’t change the fact that for the last 100 plus years or so you have been hoodwinked, conned and lied to about where your rights were derived. Perhaps it was just all a dream with no substance, to back up the false claim that somehow you are actually free of the yoke of government because God granted you certain unalienable rights. What is the real truth?
The fact is, government owns you lock, stock and barrel and you can’t do one damn thing about it, short of going to war. You are an indentured slave but you just don’t know it. In 245 years that framework of freedom designed by some pretty bright white men has been so bastardized by socialist Democrats (Progressives) as to be essentially unrecognizable. It was a joke anyhow, wasn’t it, really? (See: “Yes, White Men Built America. It’s A Fact”)
If you still believe you are “free” you are living in a fantasy world of your own making. Government has constrained you. Government regulates everything you do. Government steals your earnings through the legalized theft of taxation. Government tells you what you can do and where you can do it. Government regulates your money, your land, your water, your health care and your life. It regulates what you can drive, who can drive and where you can drive.
If you want to drive a car run by gas, government tells you that you must drive a car run by electricity and raises the price of gasoline to force you to drive an electric car. In the process government mandates that gasoline-driven cars have to go, along with all fossil fuels and then proceeds to limit the electricity that runs your electric car by forcing intermittent wind and solar upon you. On top of that government requires you to subsidize the wind and solar power with your tax dollars. Energy prices have and will skyrocket under these conditions.
Just wait until your electric car runs out of charge in the middle of the highway. You won’t be able to walk down the road to an electric charging station for a gallon of electricity to re-start your electric car. You will have to wait for a charging truck and then you will have to wait while the charging truck charges up your batteries. That could take hours. We prefer the instant energy of the miracle of gasoline and we should have that choice. You would be wise to ask, “who are the dumb ones here?”
Government says that you are polluting the planet with your CO2 emissions and they have the right to tax and regulate you to death to “save the planet”. Of course it is a lie, based on nothing but computer model guesses, but you believe them anyway because the government-paid scientists say that it is so. Perhaps you might change your mind if you read our “Climate” page.
Government states that you are killing certain species (Endangered Species Act – ESA) and you must sacrifice, at your expense and the relinquishing of your property and unalienable rights, to save the species, even though thousands of species are naturally going in an out of extinction every day, throughout the world. But at your own peril, you believe them. Governor Inslee of Washington State wants the taxpayers to spend $1.1 Billion to save 73 killer whales in Puget Sound, or $15,100,000 per whale. That’s insane!
Government tells you that you must lock yourself up in your home to bend the curve against the Coronavirus and you believe them, even though one state is locked up and one state is wide open but the Coronavirus rages on in both states at the same rate. Duh!
Democrats also try to convince you that it is OK to let in millions of illegal aliens that take your jobs. You get to pay for their education, food, housing, health care and welfare and get very little in return except a Democrat voter. Meanwhile you stand by and let them do it.
Democrats tell you it is the humane thing to do while they lock you up and make you prisoners in your own home but let the Coronavirus-infected illegal aliens go free in the general population and commit crimes against and infect legal Americans. By a strange twist of logic your government says America can’t deport the sick ones or the criminals and many cities, towns and states form shields around the illegal aliens by declaring sanctuary for them. And you still say you are free and that your rights come from God? Just how dumb can you be? Is your sanity and your intellect still in tack? How is it that you just look the other way and let the chips fall where they may, even if those “chips” work against you? The Colonials declared independence from England in 1776 for far less grievances than what Americans are facing today from their government.
It gets worse. Your benevolent government forces upon you socialized medicine in what is called ObamaCare, named after an illegitimate socialist, African king we euphemistically called president. A turncoat U. S. Supreme Court Justice rules, with the four other flaming liberals on the court, that ObamaCare is constitutional when even the dumbest American saw through the smoke and mirrors government used to sell the idea with in-your-face lies about keeping your doctor and keeping your health care and the price would go down. You watched your private health care insurance go up in smoke, your doctor fade into the dark reaches of the deep state and your health care premiums go out of sight. But alas, you let it pass. And you still say you have God-given, unalienable rights? What mirror are you looking into? What shimmering mirage are you seeing on the horizon? What dream are you living? Have you forgotten that individual rights, God-given or not, are meaningless unless defended?
And why are Democrats poking their collective noses into our gender and signing executive orders or passing legislation to mess with and upset the natural biological order of man vs. woman? Why, to pander to the LGBTQ community of course. At most, only 0.014% (0.00014) of the population is afflicted with gender dysphoria. For this minute minority Democrats have literally destroyed women’s sports and have rendered womanhood and her wonderful biological differences from man, irrelevant.
Socialist Democrats also want to drastically change the rules in their favor. From voting rules (HR 1), to forcing upon us socialized medicine under Medicare For All, to eliminating the Electoral College, to eliminating the Senate filibuster rule, to packing the U. S. Supreme Court and to make Washington DC and Puerto Rico the 51st and 52nd states, they intend to stack the deck against Republicans. In effect, they are trying to orchestrate one-party rule. They are very close to completing those goals and they now have the political power to do it. Just watch what happens in the next two years. Even God won’t be able to save you.
Ladies and gentlemen, what you ARE NOT seeing is a “Shining City On A Hill.” What you ARE seeing, that is if you can truly see, is a garbage dump of shattered dreams and the once-free remnants of a great civilization heading for Hell, perpetrated by a bunch of elite socialist Democrat oligarchs that are 10 cards short of a full deck and who never saw a tax or a regulation they didn’t like.
And somehow it doesn’t seem to bother you that public education and even higher education have morphed into public indoctrination for such things as racism, social justice, radical environmentalism, climate change and global government? Forget about math, reading, writing, geography and American history. Just how did Americans let this happen? By not paying attention, that’s how.
Oh and you conservatives. Do you think that the Republicans are going to save your butts, your freedom and the Constitutional Republic? What planet do you live on? Most of these Republicans are in it for the money, the prestige and the glory, just like the Democrats. You are second, third, if not fourth on their list of priorities. Did you ever send a letter to your representative sharing a grievance of some kind, only to receive a canned response as a hollow, empty, worthless answer to your concern?
Democrats stick together and vote as a block. Republicans are fractured and prone to stick their finger in the air to test which way the wind is blowing ….. in their favor, even if it means voting with the Democrats. Why won’t Republicans fire Cheney, Romney, Collins, Murkowski, Sasse, Toomey, Burr and Cassidy, all who voted to impeach President Trump?
Sadly, representative government, as envisioned by the Founding Fathers, is pretty much dead. The idea that government has an absolute duty to protect your individual freedom and unalienable, constitutional rights went out the window over 100 years ago with the birth of Progressivism. Every right in the bill of rights is under attack by government, mostly by socialist Democrats. Property rights, gun rights, religious rights and the right to speak freely are their favorite targets. Democrats invented the cancel culture to silence conservatives forever. If you conservatives are worried about being cancelled, it’s too late. You have already been cancelled.
We can hear some of you say that we are being too negative. Things can’t be as bad as the picture we have painted. Oh, but they are. The people just refuse to believe what they are seeing with their own eyes and what they know to be true. Why else would your government turn the Capitol of America into an armed camp with fences and barbed wire around Congress? You’d think the British were coming again, in a replay of the second revolutionary war of 1812! But no, Democrats are afraid that those nasty, White Supremacist Trump supporters will attack the Capitol ….. again!
You may think your rights come from God but the reality is, government is trampling all over those rights and telling you what you can and cannot do, almost to the point of the absolute power of a dictator. That’s not freedom ladies and gentlemen. That’s tyranny. That’s slavery.
But just as long as powerful corporations keep us mesmerized and hypnotized by high tech gadgets, we’ll just look the other way and pray that the government doesn’t reach out and “touch” us one day ….. in our own homes. Good luck with that. They have already reached out and “touched” you with their virus lock downs. They have forced you to close your businesses and forced many out of business for good. Tens of millions have lost their jobs and their livelihood. But you just rolled over to their demands like compliant robots. Only a few courageous individuals have fought back and have paid a terrible price for so doing.
You say, what happened to freedom? We say you willingly gave it up for the mirage of anonymity, comfort, safety and security. America has become a floating crap game of fools while the socialist Democrats rip to pieces what’s left of a once-free America. Americans killed America, not some foreign power.
What we have relayed here is both sad and tragic. But what is even more tragic is, it was preventable.

“Welcome To The Final End Of The Green New Deal”

"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." Benjamin Franklin
Jeremy huddled in a corner of the old log cabin, out of the wind, even though it blew through the cracks in the walls and whistled and moaned with a haunting, bone-chilling sound. The sky was dark, gray and menacing. The coming twilight filled him with dread. There would be no artificial light for the approaching darkness and he tried not to think of the long night ahead.
His current dwelling was once a small cabin complete with solar panels, but the ravages of time, the sun, the wind and the rain had taken their toll on the aging building and it was but a few years from total collapse. The cabin creaked under the strain of the wind.
The solar panels on the roof ceased to function long ago, crusted over with rain-caked dust. The electric wires to the cabin had long since blown to the ground by the incessant wind. But alas, it was no matter because the massive generators that once brought electricity to the most powerful nation on earth, had fallen silent. The radical environmentalists and the socialists of the early twenty-first century had their way and sent us back to the dark ages. Government-instituted, insane cap and trade policies to drop CO2 levels in order to stop or slow down the non-existent problem of man-caused global warming, drove prices of everything through the roof and millions of businesses went out of business and the jobs went with them. The nations unemployment rate had risen to over 45% and has stayed there since 2014, because the Obama and the Biden administration borrowed our children's and grand children's future to the point that the minute a child was born, he or she owed over $150,000 in debt to the federal government, which could never paid. Taxes on income were at 90% with no deductions, but the producers had fled the country in a massive brain drain years ago.
The gross negligence, corruption and cost of too many social programs finally came home to roost. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, welfare and the national health care system called Obama Care established in 2010, went completely broke by 2024. Doctors and nurses, that once occupied our fine hospitals and clinics, could no longer dispense health care by the mere fact that all of their time was expended in just taking care of themselves and their families, as best they could. Everyone was left to their own resources.
To make matters worse, because of radical, international environmental policies, other countries started hording their own resources for their own people and shut off oil, coal, natural gas, materials and food shipments to anywhere in the world. International trade dwindled to a trickle and piracy accelerated on the open seas on those ships that dared to sail. The United Nations had taken control of the world in 2032 but nothing the UN did, had any affect on the rising chaos. Border, resource and religion wars broke out constantly. China had become the world economic and military power in the late 2020’s but it too decayed into internal conflicts, rampant hunger and strife.
Our own oil, coal and natural gas resources had been shut off by the environmentalists and the Biden administration, due to the rise of wind and solar power. The entire energy infrastructure had fallen into disrepair. Oil, gas and coal companies had shut their doors because of too many restrictions and exorbitant emission taxes. The wind and solar power that Biden promised that would replace fossil fuels, was just one of his worthless, but very expensive pipe dreams, like so many other socialist and radical environmental policies he implemented. Power plants quit running for lack of transportation, energy resources and maintenance personnel. The power grid was ravaged by neglect, natural forces and frequent domestic and foreign terrorist attacks. But that was of no consequence. There was no power to distribute to the grid.
Food was in short supply and rationed. Inflation was so rampant from government over-spending and borrowing back in the first, second and third decades of the twenty-first century, that it took over $1,000,000 to buy a loaf of bread. Most banks had gone under, forcing Americans into the barter system, where they could. Gold had shot up to over $25,000 an ounce, but it could not be found as most had been bought up years ago and horded. Crime accelerated as hungry bellies resorted to stealing or killing, just to stay alive. Murder was an every-day occurrence as anger, fear, resentment, frustration and jealousy overwhelmed the minds of most Americans, because government corruption and mismanagement had broken the back of the most powerful nation on earth. In the once-great cities of America, dead bodies littered the streets with no one to dispose of them. The stench from decaying bodies and rotting garbage was unbearable. Rats, disease and famine were everywhere. Tens of thousands died every day. Cities looked like war zones and they were. The only relief was escaping to the rural areas, if one could.
....... Jeremy looked out the broken window at the setting sun as it highlighted the wind turbines in the distance, but their bearings had frozen from neglect and even with a hurricane-force wind, the propellers refused to budge. Many of the blades had broken off and had fallen to the ground, lying there like bleached-out bones in an old elephant graveyard, as a criminal legacy to one more failed government policy.
At 39, he was thin and emaciated from trying to carve out a living in the wilderness. His clothes were tattered and torn but he would be hard pressed to find new or even used clothes, where he was. Soon he would be forced to don the skin of a large animal, if he had the energy and the where-with-all to find, kill and skin one.
He drank from the scarce moisture in ever-shrinking puddles of rapidly evaporating, infrequent rainwater. He had spent this day looking for food, dining on what grub he could find in broken logs, when he broke out of the trees and saw the cabin. The cabin was the first shelter he had found in days. He was surprised to find the cabin empty.
The nation's farmers had let their fields go fallow, creating dust bowls of the great plains, ending in an unprecedented drought that has lasted for almost 30 years, with no sign of letting up. Massive dust storms that swept across the plains were almost a daily occurrence.
He had escaped the big city because there was nothing but starvation, death and destruction there. He lost his wife and two children to murder. Heavily armed, roving gangs ran wild in the streets, day and night and killed, pillaged, plundered and robbed whatever or wherever they wanted. The nights were the worst and were nothing short of anarchy and chaos. The days were just slightly better, but going out on the street at any time could result in being severely beaten and robbed, or bring an end to your life in a fraction of a second. Police were nowhere to be found because the danger was too great and the government had no money to pay them.
The American people were broke and the government was broke. The government had been forced to trade American soil in exchange for defaulted loans to foreign countries, who had called in their debt to the U. S. Much of America had been exchanged for that debt. It was not uncommon to run into foreign soldiers if one accidentally strayed onto land now owned by China, Japan, or even Russia.
Sovereignty, individual rights and the constitution had died sometime during Biden's 4-year reign of terror. At one point he declared martial law, suspended the Constitution and tightened his grip on power. But it didn't last. After Biden was driven from office by an outraged electorate and a Congress that finally regained its courage, he, his wife and his children escaped to China, fearing for their very lives in America. The Chinese welcomed them as old friends.
But it was too late for America. Irreversible damage had been done and there was no going back. America, as a once, all-powerful Constitutional Republic, lay fractured and in tatters, a victim of the Biden and the socialist ideology that taken over in 2021.
Jeremy longed for other company but he couldn't take the chance because he could trust no one. If he saw someone in his travels he avoided them at all costs. His future was bleak and short. He was not sure how long he could survive living as he was. Many days he thought about ending it, because of the futility of it all.
He thought back to the days when America was strong and vibrant and picked up a piece of wood and threw it at the wall of the cabin in a fit of anger at what Biden and our leaders had done to this great country and what the American people had allowed to happen by not peacefully settling their own differences and holding those leaders accountable to our Constitution and the founding principles of freedom and liberty.
It was dark now and Jeremy tried to go to sleep, as the cold and wind howled insults at his frail and shivering body. He dreamed of a time when people were actually happy, everyone had plenty of food on the table, money in the bank, homes to live in and cars to drive. His dream was shattered as a board fell with a crash from the ceiling, knocked loose by the wind shaking the cabin. The year was 2051 and a new day would not bring any relief to Jeremy's misery. Because you see, Jeremy was just one of the tens millions of hapless victims of the failed and tortured years of the Biden Kingdom, a time in America's history where the people fell prey to the siren call of "free stuff" and finally discovered too late that it wasn't free after all. The end result was totally predictable, but it was also preventable, if only the people had been more virtuous, determined and courageous in defeating the rise of socialism and the Green New Deal.

“When Over-Educated Idiots and the
Racially Insane Govern America”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.
© Copyright Sunday, February 21, 2021 - All Rights Reserved
Abraham Lincoln once wrote: “You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help little men by tearing down big men.” Likewise, you cannot elevate one race by tearing down another race. But that is exactly what the Democrats are attempting to do with social justice, social equity, critical race theory, systemic racism and white privilege.
Race and racism have exploded everywhere. The airways and newsprint are filled with race. Corporations and unions spout racism and equal justice all the time. Nationwide education has become racist indoctrination, blaming little white kids for the color of their skin, which is classic racism in itself.
Somehow, one or more over-educated idiots decided that math is racist because math requires only one answer to a problem. So instead of teaching math, the purest form of science, social equity and black inequality are injected into the math lesson plans. Evidently government has decided that blacks just can’t measure up to whites or Asians in the intellect game so the educators have to lower the standards that will allow blacks to get better grades. That’s insane and it is no gift to the black race! In fact, it should be demoralizing and humiliating to all self-respecting blacks.
One teacher’s union in San Francisco is demanding that 44 district schools change their names for racial reasons before they will go back to the classroom. Of course that is “black” mail in its purest form. Screw the kids. What do the teacher’s or even the school boards care about your kids?
Our government institutions have become cesspools of endless attacks on white Americans for being racist in order to pander to black Americans. Democrats in Congress are once again taking up the idea of black reparations ….. for votes. Let’s see, how much money should a black American receive from white American taxpayers for being descendants of black slaves from 160 years ago, $500, 1,000, or should it be $10,000? Will reparations make their manufactured racism go away? Hardly! They’ll just want more.
Do any white Americans hold slaves now? No! Are whites guilty for what their ancestors did? No! But just because they are charged for being white racists they are going to have to pay. If Democrats wanted to create a race war, there is no better way to do it than the race policies and race brainwashing they have established throughout America.
Thanks to President Biden, “Critical Race Theory” indoctrination is once again being forced on white government employees. White government employees could end this insane, racist attack on white Americans now, by just walking out of the government training classes, en masse. But being cowards, afraid to stand up for their rights, they won’t do it. They’ll just cower in their seats and take it.
Black Lives Matter is a Marxist, racist, violent organization that threatens to dismantle the nuclear family, blames all of black troubles on white Americans and white cops. Somehow, in their minds, that gives them the right to riot, loot and burn anything in their path while the Democrats stand by and applaud. Your current Vice President stated that the BLM and ANTIFA riots are going to continue well after the election. She says, “they are not going to let up” virtually sanctioning the riots.
But government-sponsored racism isn’t the only insanity lurking out there to destroy America and Americans at the hands of over-educated idiots and racially obsessed Democrat politicians. Democrat policies on climate and border security are right up there at the top of what not to do for the American economy, national identity, national sovereignty, national security and our national culture.
Let’s start with the Climate.
The statement by President Biden and his climate Czar, John Kerry, that Climate Change, alias man-caused global warming, is an existential threat to the lives of all humans on this planet, is an outright lie, perpetrated on ignorant populations by government, academia, rabid environmentalists and globalists for a globalist, socialist, environmental agenda.
First, climate science is far from settled and second, there are numerous credible sources that emphatically refute any changes in climate being the result of man’s contributions. Third, the alleged threat of Climate Change is way down on the list of what Americans are concerned about. In a recent Gallup poll, (January 2021) Climate Change, the Environment and pollution only registered 2% as a concern. The economy was at the top of the list.
Nevertheless, Biden and company are going to shove this climate crap down our throats no matter how much we have to suffer or how much we have to pay. You will get wind and solar power scouring America’s beautiful landscape everywhere. You will get a reduction in fossil fuel power, including natural gas, a clean energy source, by shutting off any new oil drilling, shutting down pipelines and increasing the costs for all of it. You will get rolling blackouts or massive power outages as the government and environmentalists try to integrate alternative energy with fossil fuel energy in an attempt to phase out fossil fuels. Ask a Texan or Californian on how that is working. What you won’t get is any new clean nuclear or hydro power plants. Those are no-no’s to environmentalists who seem to rule everything in our lives these days.
To re-join the Paris Climate Agreement, as Biden has done, is a direct attack on the American taxpayer for an alleged problem that has little basis in science. It is nothing more than wealth re-distribution from rich countries to poor countries while huge CO2 emitters like India and China have no skin in the game and get off scot-free. The intended results of the Paris Agreement, if realized, are pie-in-the-sky computer model pseudo science with virtually no way to test the accuracy of the predictions. We just have to wait to see if the so-called computer scientists are right while we sit back and let government empty our pockets for what is nothing more than a globalist, climate racketeering scheme.
If ever there was an Administration that was dead set on destroying the values, principles, the culture and economy of the country it governs, the Biden Administration is the sure winner. We’ve had bad presidents before on both sides of the aisle but no administration, in all of American history, has made up its mind to “fundamentally transform” America into an alleged socialist utopia and tear down one of the greatest experiments with freedom ever devised in human history.
One specific area of our national identity is whom we allow into our country. Biden and Company are planning to open our borders and let them ALL in and then grant them amnesty so that they can vote Democrat, potentially all 7 billion of them. Do they hate Trump so much that they will erase anything he did for pure spite without regard to the consequences? Or, has Biden, Harris, |Schumer and the Democrats gone stark raving mad? We prefer the latter. Besides the potential health risks illegal aliens pose, there is the economic, humanitarian, cultural and national security issues that are in peril. How can anyone be that stupid, or care so little for legal Americans? (See: “Illegal Aliens Have More Rights Than American Taxpayers”)
Then of course the Biden Administration is planning to eventually convert America’s health care system into a Medicare For All government-run scheme, the final nail in the coffin started by Obama Care in 2010 without a single Republican vote. If you like health care as administered by the Veteran’s Administration, you’re going to love Medicare For All.
Moving on, Biden and his band of socialist brothers are also planning to provide free college tuition and forgive up to $50,000 in student loan debt. How will that make those feel that sacrificed to pay off their student loan debt the responsible way? They should be enraged, angry, outraged, infuriated, insulted, mad as Hell and ready to do battle.
There is much more that Biden and the socialist Democrats want to do like making Washington DC and Puerto Rico states, assuring that Republicans will never be in power again. But the bottom line to all of this is that the Establishment, the deep state, corrupt politicians, over-educated idiots, the racially insane and the arrogant elite are ruling America right into the dust bin of failed republics and it appears nothing can stop them. Sadly, the American people have allowed it to happen on their watch and they have no one to blame but themselves.
We could add more, but what’s the point. We haven’t even discussed the cancel culture being exercised by powerful high tech corporations like Google, Facebook and Twitter and how that is aiding and abetting the race war, as well as propping up socialist Democrat politicians and policies. We could go on about the billionaires like Bill Gates, Tom Steyer and George Soros, all trying to re-shape America into their distorted image. But again, what’s the point. Most of you have already heard it.

One of the greatest responsibilities that parents have is to raise their children healthy, well adjusted, mentally happy and objectively educated. They are shirking that duty on a nationwide scale. They must not be reviewing their children’s schoolwork to see if it meets the “objectively educated” standard. We can tell you for sure that it isn’t. Why aren’t parents reading their children’s textbooks to see what’s in them and attending every school board meeting, demanding a lot more objective education and a lot less racial brainwashing? Why indeed! (See: “Common Core Standards – Suspicions Confirmed”)
All Americans are also responsible to see that politicians and bureaucrats are managing America by adhering to the constitutional mandates (the Supreme Law) that govern this nation. We can tell you for sure that corrupt politicians and liberal bias-driven bureaucrats are doing everything in their power to tear down that Supreme Law. Why aren’t Americans flooding state legislatures and Congress with mandates of their own and that is to return America to the Constitutional Republic it was designed to be ….. or else. Must we follow the path of the apathetic, cowardly German people during the rise of Hitler? That is where we are heading if we do. We’re free Americans for God’s sake! Is it now time to resort to the “Encirclement” to save America?
We’ll close with another Abraham Lincoln quote: “Elections belong to the people. It’s their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters.” If the Democrats are allowed to continue on this doomed path they are taking, there are going to be tens of millions of butt-scarred slaves in America.
We still need help from conservatives with our Trump Medal of Freedom award.

Democrat policies on climate and border security are right up there at the top of what not to do for the American economy, national identity, national sovereignty, national security and our national culture.
Let’s start with the Climate.
The statement by President Biden and his climate Czar, John Kerry, that Climate Change, alias man-caused global warming, is an existential threat to the lives of all humans on this planet, is an outright lie, perpetrated on ignorant populations by government, academia, rabid environmentalists and globalists for a globalist, socialist, environmental agenda.
First, climate science is far from settled and second, there are numerous credible sources that emphatically refute any changes in climate being the result of man’s contributions. Third, the alleged threat of Climate Change is way down on the list of what Americans are concerned about. In a recent Gallup poll, (January 2021) Climate Change, the Environment and pollution only registered 2% as a concern. The economy was at the top of the list.
Nevertheless, Biden and company are going to shove this climate crap down our throats no matter how much we have to suffer or how much we have to pay. You will get wind and solar power scouring America’s beautiful landscape everywhere. You will get a reduction in fossil fuel power, including natural gas, a clean energy source, by shutting off any new oil drilling, shutting down pipelines and increasing the costs for all of it. You will get rolling blackouts or massive power outages as the government and environmentalists try to integrate alternative energy with fossil fuel energy in an attempt to phase out fossil fuels. Ask a Texan or Californian on how that is working. What you won’t get is any new clean nuclear or hydro power plants. Those are no-no’s to environmentalists who seem to rule everything in our lives these days.
To re-join the Paris Climate Agreement, as Biden has done, is a direct attack on the American taxpayer for an alleged problem that has little basis in science. It is nothing more than wealth re-distribution from rich countries to poor countries while huge CO2 emitters like India and China have no skin in the game and get off scot-free. The intended results of the Paris Agreement, if realized, are pie-in-the-sky computer model pseudo science with virtually no way to test the accuracy of the predictions. We just have to wait to see if the so-called computer scientists are right while we sit back and let government empty our pockets for what is nothing more than a globalist, climate racketeering scheme.
If ever there was an Administration that was dead set on destroying the values, principles, the culture and economy of the country it governs, the Biden Administration is the sure winner. We’ve had bad presidents before on both sides of the aisle but no administration, in all of American history, has made up its mind to “fundamentally transform” America into an alleged socialist utopia and tear down one of the greatest experiments with freedom ever devised in human history.
One specific area of our national identity is whom we allow into our country. Biden and Company are planning to open our borders and let them ALL in and then grant them amnesty so that they can vote Democrat, potentially all 7 billion of them. Do they hate Trump so much that they will erase anything he did for pure spite without regard to the consequences? Or, has Biden, Harris, |Schumer and the Democrats gone stark raving mad? We prefer the latter. Besides the potential health risks illegal aliens pose, there is the economic, humanitarian, cultural and national security issues that are in peril. How can anyone be that stupid, or care so little for legal Americans? (See: “Illegal Aliens Have More Rights Than American Taxpayers”)
Then of course the Biden Administration is planning to eventually convert America’s health care system into a Medicare For All government-run scheme, the final nail in the coffin started by Obama Care in 2010 without a single Republican vote. If you like health care as administered by the Veteran’s Administration, you’re going to love Medicare For All.
Moving on, Biden and his band of socialist brothers are also planning to provide free college tuition and forgive up to $50,000 in student loan debt. How will that make those feel that sacrificed to pay off their student loan debt the responsible way? They should be enraged, angry, outraged, infuriated, insulted, mad as Hell and ready to do battle.
There is much more that Biden and the socialist Democrats want to do like making Washington DC and Puerto Rico states, assuring that Republicans will never be in power again. But the bottom line to all of this is that the Establishment, the deep state, corrupt politicians, over-educated idiots, the racially insane and the arrogant elite are ruling America right into the dust bin of failed republics and it appears nothing can stop them. Sadly, the American people have allowed it to happen on their watch and they have no one to blame but themselves.
We could add more, but what’s the point. We haven’t even discussed the cancel culture being exercised by powerful high tech corporations like Google, Facebook and Twitter and how that is aiding and abetting the race war, as well as propping up socialist Democrat politicians and policies. We could go on about the billionaires like Bill Gates, Tom Steyer and George Soros, all trying to re-shape America into their distorted image. But again, what’s the point. Most of you have already heard it.

One of the greatest responsibilities that parents have is to raise their children healthy, well adjusted, mentally happy and objectively educated. They are shirking that duty on a nationwide scale. They must not be reviewing their children’s schoolwork to see if it meets the “objectively educated” standard. We can tell you for sure that it isn’t. Why aren’t parents reading their children’s textbooks to see what’s in them and attending every school board meeting, demanding a lot more objective education and a lot less racial brainwashing? Why indeed! (See: “Common Core Standards – Suspicions Confirmed”)
All Americans are also responsible to see that politicians and bureaucrats are managing America by adhering to the constitutional mandates (the Supreme Law) that govern this nation. We can tell you for sure that corrupt politicians and liberal bias-driven bureaucrats are doing everything in their power to tear down that Supreme Law. Why aren’t Americans flooding state legislatures and Congress with mandates of their own and that is to return America to the Constitutional Republic it was designed to be ….. or else. Must we follow the path of the apathetic, cowardly German people during the rise of Hitler? That is where we are heading if we do. We’re free Americans for God’s sake! Is it now time to resort to the “Encirclement” to save America?
We’ll close with another Abraham Lincoln quote: “Elections belong to the people. It’s their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters.” If the Democrats are allowed to continue on this doomed path they are taking, there are going to be tens of millions of butt-scarred slaves in America.
We still need help from conservatives with our Trump Medal of Freedom award.

“We Can’t Wait For The 2022 Mid Terms!”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

“I do not have a 10-point plan or a formula for reversing our accelerating slide into tyranny. But any fool can see what doesn't work and what has no chance of success.” Tom Tancredo, a former Republican Congressman from Colorado (1999 - 2009)
If it isn’t apparent to you, it should be. As Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo stated, “….. any fool can see what doesn’t work and has no chance of success.” The Democrat’s plan to govern America is a fool’s errand, won’t work, has no chance of success and is anti-American and blatantly unconstitutional. In fact, the Democrat’s plan for America could lead us straight into outright civil war if it isn’t stopped dead in its tracks.
The Democrat’s plan for America includes opening up our borders to all comers, (all 7 billion of them) granting them amnesty and providing them with the same benefits to which legal Americans are entitled, many of the benefits being free to the illegal alien, but paid for by the legal American taxpayer. Of course the socialist Democrat’s motive is not altruism, empathy, or sympathy. The Democrat’s goal is to install a permanent class of voters that will vote Democrat in perpetuity. (See: “Overrun and Overwhelmed By Illegal Aliens”) But don’t take our word for it. Here are the words of President Joe Biden from his Executive Order 14012:
“Consistent with our character as a Nation of opportunity and of welcome, it is essential to ensure that our laws and policies encourage full participation by immigrants, including refugees, (illegal aliens) in our civic life; that immigration processes and other benefits are delivered effectively and efficiently; and that the Federal Government eliminates sources of fear and other barriers that prevent immigrants from accessing government services available to them. Our Nation is enriched socially and economically by the presence of immigrants, and we celebrate with them as they take the important step of becoming United States citizens. (amnesty) The Federal Government should develop welcoming strategies that promote integration, inclusion, and citizenship, and it should embrace the full participation of the newest Americans in our Democracy.”
First, we are not a Democracy. America is a Constitutional Republic. Biden should know that but doesn’t. Second, illegal aliens are NOT newest Americans and in fact many of them are drug pushers and terrorists, not to mention that many are very poor, uneducated and carry diseases like the Coronavirus. Third, many illegal aliens are lawbreakers and we don’t celebrate or reward law breaking or lawbreakers, otherwise the rule of law is meaningless. Fourth, illegal aliens should not be accessing government services because that would be rewarding law breaking. Fifth, strong border policy, like Trump’s immigration policies, the border fence and yes fear, keep hordes (caravans) of illegal aliens from invading America by the millions. Sixth, Biden’s policy allows illegal aliens to jump the line to gain American citizenship while other legal immigrants that have applied for citizenship must wait patiently in the wings for years.
Intellectually-challenged Biden just illegally opened the door to this invasion with his Executive Order 14012 and seriously endangered America’s culture, national identity, national sovereignty, our economy and our national security. Biden’s actions to stop all deportations has resulted in the release of hundreds if not thousands of criminal illegal aliens on the street to prey on legal Americans. He has essentially turned America into a sanctuary nation. For these reasons alone Biden is guilty of high crimes, misdemeanors and even treason. It is not Trump who should be impeached. It is Joe Biden.
Weakening immigration law to the point of open borders isn’t the only thing for which Joe Biden and the socialist Democrats are guilty.
Forcing Americans to pay trillions FOR and to comply WITH massive regulations governing the alleged non-proved threat of climate change under sections of the Democrat’s Green New Deal and the Paris Climate Agreement, are straight out of the pages of government tyranny and dictatorial rule. Revoking the permit of the Keystone XL pipeline, canceling all mineral and fossil fuel leases on government land and stopping all drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge by presidential fiat, based on the non-proven threat of climate change due to human causes, (EO 13990) not only threatens our national security but makes us more dependent on foreign fossil fuel producers, many of which are our sworn enemies.
Clean energy that Democrats are touting is a farce. First, it is economically, environmentally and physically impossible to replace fossil fuels with “green” energy. (See: “Climate”) Second, it will force gas prices and everything else much, much higher. You’ll pay three times for the “privilege” of clean energy; once in higher taxes, once in the unseen tax of inflation and finally in higher gas prices. By the summer of 2021 Americans, when vacation driving kicks in, could be paying as much as $4.00 or more per gallon again. When it happens, and it will, remember that Democrats did that to you.
Revoking the Keystone XL pipeline permit is even more egregious. The project was under construction, contracts had been let, materials were ordered and stacked on sight and the necessary high-skilled labor had been hired to the tune of at least 11,000 specialized, high-paying jobs. Those jobs, that material and those contracts went poof with the stroke of Biden’s insidious pen. In one insane act, Biden ripped apart common law, contract law and the Uniform Commercial Code. If you break a contract there can be severe consequences. If Biden nullifies a contract, environmentalists applaud him. Just imagine the lawsuits from contractors, suppliers and labor unions that will no doubt sue the federal government because of the environmental nut case that occupies the White House.
Biden isn’t done with Executive Orders and Directives yet. But the ones he has signed so far, since taking office on January 20, 2021, tell a tale of more bad things to come.
As an example, President Joe, “I love my criminal son Hunter” Biden, had to dip his fingers into the gender pie, as if it wasn’t muddied up enough already. He wrote an Executive Order (EO 13988) on gender that will force girls to compete with more physically capable boys, boys that decided to become girls. With one ill-conceived swipe of his EO pen, he decimated girl’s sports in the Democrat’s never-ending effort to pander to the LGBTQ community.
He also is forcing the military to accept men and women that have decided to change their gender, resulting in the military (taxpayers) having to pay for gender re-assignment, a medical procedure that can amount to six figures. This doesn’t even take into account the degradation in combat readiness with having gender-challenged individuals in the ranks.
Democrats are obsessed with race, so much so they are dividing America up into constituency groups made up entirely of a single race and pitting each racial group against the other racial groups, mostly blacks against whites and vice versa.
So President Joe, “I never sniffed that ladies hair” Biden, under his EO 13985, revoked President Trump’s Executive Order EO 13950 prohibiting the teaching and training of Critical Race Theory (CRT) to federal government employees. You know! Critical Race Theory is where mostly black racists teach that all white people are inherently racist, especially against blacks, and must be de-programmed to take the black racism out of the lily white person’s “Little Black Boxes.” They also teach, under CRT, that America is a systemic racist nation, prone to white supremacy and populated by millions of white supremacists that hate blacks. These are blatant lies and they know it.
CRT is now so pervasive it is taught in K-12, colleges and even taught to state and local government employees. We strongly recommend to all white Americans being persecuted and brainwashed by CRT, to walk out of the training seminars, en masse. Only then will the other side get the message.
Here is a question for you. Why is it that only black males are seen killing, rioting, burning and looting buildings? Where are the Asians? The history of Asian discrimination throughout American history is well documented, especially during the build up of the railroads. There was even a time when Asians weren’t allowed in the country. Today, Asians are discriminated against almost as much as blacks but you don’t see them out in the streets violently protesting, burning and looting. Neither are most whites, legal Latinos, American Indians, or Pacific Islanders.
Another question for you is why Democrats literally sanctioned or ignored black, Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA violence in cities all over America. Your current vice president Kamala, “not legally eligible to be vice president” Harris, raised money to get the rioters, looters and fire bombers out on bail. But boy is she bent out of shape over the rioters invading the U. S. Capitol Building, some of which were her own people.
Besides Biden’s flood of unconstitutional Executive Orders, you should see what the Democrats in Congress are planning for your guns. Take a look at HR 127. It will make you want to throttle a Democrat. Should the bill pass and that is in question, to own a gun you will have to obtain a license from the federal government, undergo a deep background check, fill out long forms, register the gun, type and serial number, prove they are locked up and get a psychological examination, all at your cost. It amounts to literal gun confiscation in direct violation of the 2nd Amendment. There are several other Democrat gun bills in the works right now similar to HR 127.
Democrats mean to take your guns away and repeal the 2nd Amendment, your last line of defense against a tyrannical government. They mean to trample on or censor your right to free speech, the freedom of religion, the right to assemble and the right to seek redress from government. They have already taken over the so-called free press. They mean to repeal the 4th Amendment and turn America into a police state. They mean to eliminate your property rights under the 5th and 14th Amendments to appease their environmental God. They mean to enslave you with the help of the press and high tech corporate America! The flag of tyranny flies over the Capitol.
Ladies and gentlemen, we can’t wait for the 2022 Mid Terms for Republicans to take back both houses of Congress, if that is even possible. Sadly, most Republicans are part of the swamp. They can’t and won’t help you. Democrat damage is being done right now in front of our faces by Executive Orders and pending anti-American, socialist legislation that is surely to pass and impossible to undo. Civil war is coming unless we defeat the socialist onslaught of America now.
One way to combat this onslaught is to establish thousands of Constitutional zones all across America, patrolled by patriots where all outside government agents and law enforcement are repelled at the zone borders. Check points would be established and manned by zone occupants. All illegal aliens within the zone would be expelled, by force if necessary. Those occupants who want to be part of the zone would determine the size of the zone, large or small.
The law within the zones would be based on the Constitution and common law, “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.” Within each zone, under constitutional guidelines, legislative, judicial, law enforcement and school entities would be formed by the people to govern their affairs. Each zone would be a little Constitutional Republic, not un-similar to America’s individual states.
To fund the zone, fair and just taxes would be levied against real property and retail sales only. Taxing authorities outside the zone would have no jurisdiction and their tax levies ignored by all zone occupants. Personal independence, responsibility and honor, along with America’s great history, would be heavily emphasized and taught. Within the zone, churches and group charities would assist the poor and disabled. Socialist policies would be banned. The people would be allowed to work or attend schools outside the zone but would be issued identity cards for the purpose of re-entering the zone. This is a potential solution to our dilemma but we aren’t holding our breath in anticipation of any of you picking up on the suggestion unless this article went viral.
You can hide in your apathy and indifference for a while longerbut eventually the Democrats will find you and they will want to de-program you like the Chinese are doing to the Muslim Ughyur’s in labor camps in Western China where forced indoctrination and sterilization are taking place.
Actress Gina Corano, fired by Disney, was right when she compared modern-day Conservatives to the persecution of Jews under Hitler’s Nazi Party. How close are socialist Democrats to rising in power like the Third Reich of the 1930’s where the state and socialist ruling class hold absolute power? The similarities are indeed troubling, if not horrifying. Dismiss this possible reality at your own peril.
By the way, we are significantly short of our goal to reach 100,000 signatures in 60 days for our Donald J. Trump Medal of Freedom award.

“Don’t You Get It? America Is A
Socialist Democrat Monarchy”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

“We have allowed an unholy alliance of government - the new monarchy - and corporate influence - the new aristocracy - to take control of events in a way that would have made our Founders shudder.” Marianne Williamson a contemporary American author, spiritual leader, political candidate, and activist
Founding Father and American President John Adams warned us 240 years ago when he said: “I do not say that democracy has been more pernicious on the whole, and in the long run, than monarchy or aristocracy. Democracy has never been and never can be so durable as aristocracy or monarchy; but while it lasts, it is more bloody than either. … Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.
That is why America was designed to be a Constitutional Republic, not a Democracy. But the Democrats have turned America into a socialist Democracy that is murdering itself.
Conservatives must know by now that it is over. By the time Biden finishes his first term in office, if he lasts that long, the damage he and the Democrats will inflict upon America’s culture, the economy, our energy, our sovereignty and our institutions will be irreversibly permanent. There will be no way to undo it through the executive, legislative, bureaucratic, or judicial processes. As proof, conservatives have tried for 10 years to repeal Obama Care, passed when the Democrats controlled Congress and the White House, but have failed in every attempt.
Republicans, who should have seen this coming a long time ago, stood by and did virtually nothing other than to capitulate to the Democrats in increments over time until the merging of the two parties was complete. Progressive corruption, collusion and racketeering forged the merging. The Republican Party is now so fractured as to render it essentially impotent. Disgustingly, ten members of the so-called conservative party voted to impeach former President Trump.
Because the American people are weak in character they only see the money and free government gifts, never the principles or the preservation of freedom. Freedom requires self-reliance, independence, responsibility and strict adherence to the Constitution. Government largess for the purpose of buying votes is the antithesis of freedom and the Constitution. Nevertheless, weak American character is why the Democrats have been so effective in buying off the electorate with money from the Public Treasury and benefits from the legislative branch. That is exactly what they are doing now.
Why do you suppose that the Democrats are obsessively set on passing the $1.9 Trillion dollar stimulus package that offers $1,400 in free cash to millions of Americans, without Republican support? Why are Democrats offering to reduce all student loan debt by $50,000? Why does that same stimulus package include $350 billion dollars for their Democrat friends in states like New York, New Jersey, Illinois and California who can’t seem to balance their budgets because of their socialist policies? Why do Democrats want to open our borders to illegal aliens and promise them not only free health care but amnesty as well?
The answer is simple. Every one of their payments to or benefits for the American people is designed to buy votes so as to keep the Democrats in power in perpetuity while closing the door permanently to conservative candidates and conservative ideology.
Then there is the issue of government control of the masses. Why does our current government under Joe Biden want to “kill” fossil fuels? Why did Biden cancel the permit to the Keystone XL pipeline that was already under construction with contracts let, materials purchased and labor hired? The financial and job losses are staggering. There are tens of thousands of miles of natural gas, crude oil and refined petro-chemical products being transported by pipelines all over the U. S. Why just cancel the permit to the Keystone XL pipeline? Why not stop the pipeline flow entirely if killing fossil fuels is the goal?
Why did Biden, with a stroke of his pen, freeze all leases for mineral and fossil fuel extraction on federal lands when he promised on several occasions that he would not ban fracking? He just did!
Why have Democrats joined the radical cult of environmentalism and man-caused global warming where environmental law and an erroneous atmospheric condition repeal constitutional property rights throughout the land and impose massive regressive taxes on the general population?
Why has Biden re-joined the Paris Climate Accord, which will rob trillions of American taxpayer dollars to fund, when the net reduction in temperature, if the Paris Accord is successful by the year 2100, would be around 1.5 degrees Celsius. And the whole scheme is based on unreliable computer models. Meanwhile, China and India are free to emit CO2 as much as they want while Americans must sacrifice on a trumped up climate theory that doesn’t meet logic, reason, science, or the smell test. (See: “Climate”)
Why are Democrats constantly throwing race into our faces and accusing the White population of being terrorists, insurrectionists, White Supremacists and a privileged class? Why are they inserting the racist-laced critical race theory into our schools, government bureaucracies and businesses? The first reason is to divide us by playing the races against each other. They second reason is to ingratiate Democrats with blacks and Latinos and cement their vote in perpetuity.
Why are Democrats so intent upon becoming part of the global world? Why does globalism have a higher priority than American interests, American sovereignty, American freedom and the American people?
Once again, the answer is simple. Democrats believe in total government control with Democrats in permanent possession and control of the steering wheel. The “Consent of the Governed” to them is an oxymoron. The Constitution is an impediment to their dictatorial rule. Individual freedom, unalienable rights and free choice to Democrats are inferior to the rights of the collective, the group, the association ….. the government! See how the Democrat collectivist beliefs parallel Hitler’s statements about the infallibility and priority of the state:
“It is thus necessary that the individual should finally come to realise that his own ego is of no importance in comparison with the existence of the nation, that the position of the individual is conditioned solely by the interests of the nation as a whole.”
“I will tolerate no opposition. We recognise only subordination – authority downwards and responsibility upwards.”
“Brutality is respected. Brutality and physical strength. The plain man in the street respects nothing but brutal strength and ruthlessness. Women too, for that matter, women and children. The people need wholesome fear. They want to fear something. They want someone to frighten them and make them shudderingly submissive.”
“Each activity and each need of the individual will be regulated by the party as the representative of the general good. There will be no licence, no free space in which the individual belongs to himself. The decisive factor is that the State, through the Party, is supreme.”
To Democrats, the Declaration of Independence is the work of terrorists and is a document of insurrection against the state. In fact, the U. S. Congress passed a law, Title 18 USC Section 2385, that prohibits and outlaws speaking or writing about, advocating, or overthrowing the government.
Hitler had Joseph Goebbels, his Propaganda Minister. The Democrats have their propaganda minister in the form of the 4th Estate, commonly referred to as the Mainstream Media. But the Democrats also have a third and fourth propaganda minister in the form of social media and academia. Joseph Goebbels said, “think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.” The Democrats are having a high old time playing their favorite socialist tunes and uttering lies and Democrat propaganda on America’s Mainstream Media while getting social media to scrub any conservative ideas or policies in what is now called the “cancel culture.”
This is the ruling class we have elected to run our lives. So who are the stupid ones, the ruling class or the voters? The answer is abundantly obvious. What have the Republicans done to stop the onslaught of a 100-year Progressive take over of the American government and all of its institutions? Nothing! In fact, in many cases, Republicans have aided and abetted the take over. Representative government is essentially dead.
Back in 2014 we wrote an article entitled, “Just How Are You Going To Unravel This Banana Republic.” In it we describe actual stories of individuals who have fallen afoul of a government gone mad with regulations and taxes.
Later, we penned another relevant article entitled, “Just How Are You Going To Reverse Engineer History.” In the article we wrote, “How can we turn back the clock to a time when Americans were self-reliant instead of dependent? How do we return to a time when we took responsibility for our actions instead of being excused for them because we have become victims of society's ills? What makes us think we can re-invent the past when the rule of law meant something, or when there were individuals with individual rights? Why did we let America morph into a collective where only the collective has rights?
In 2019 we wrote a follow up article to the above two articles entitled, “Demographics Will Eventually Destroy Our Founding Fathers Republic.” In this article we wrote, “Sadly, we are no longer Americans for America and freedom's sake. The vast majority of Americans have become non-thinking members of a constituency-voting block, voting or lobbying for things they can get FROM government for free, (at taxpayer expense) or protesting against government for things that government is proposing to take away. Politicians have become nothing more than snake oil salesmen selling their soul for your vote by promising to give you something that isn't theirs to give so that they can remain in power.”
“The only conclusion that one can come to is that either a man-made (civil war or revolution) or natural disaster has any chance of stopping this demographic avalanche from happening. The only other possibility is by some feat of magic a minority (freedom-loving Americans) can somehow convince the socialist majority that they are unknowingly headed down a path towards destruction, national oblivion and enslavement.”
It all boils down to the fact that America has morphed into a Socialist Democrat Monarchy and there is no peaceful way to reverse the path towards cultural, economic, financial, energy, national sovereignty and individual freedom annihilation.
We find no joy in reporting our irrefutable observations. Sadly, most Americans, except those over 70, just don’t get it or refuse to accept it. At least 100 years ago America ceased being a Constitutional Republic and became a socialist Democrat aristocracy under the relentless onslaught of the hopelessly corrupt and politically flawed Progressive movement, a movement spawned by socialists and communists in the late 1800’s. And one more thing, as the socialist Democrats squeeze the conservative population even more, incidents like what happened at the Capitol on January 6th 2021 will become more prevalent. Eventually, these smaller incidents of insurrection will lead America into a state of civil war.

“No President Is More Deserving Of The Medal Of Freedom”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.
© Copyright Sunday, January 31, 2021 - All Rights Reserved
CITATION TO ACCOMPANY
THE MEDAL OF FREEDOM
TO FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
FOR EXCEPTIONALLY MERITORIOUS SERVICE AND EXTRAORDINARY CONTRIBUTIONS TO AMERICA AND THE GOOD PEOPLE OF AMERICA, ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH A LONG LIST OF POSITIVE MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS, IN SPITE OF OVERWHELMING ODDS AND OBSTACLES AND IN DEDICATION TO SERVICE ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY.
For four years, the positive leadership, sound judgment, and unceasing efforts of President Donald J. Trump, have been major factors in strengthening the economy and security of the United States and its allies and delivered a future of greater promise and opportunity for American citizens of all backgrounds, races, religions, creeds and genders.
Under his guidance and the effectiveness of his actions in foreign policy he has bolstered the will and determination of our allies to resist aggression. The common defense of free nations has been greatly furthered by his frequent discussions and face-to-face meetings with foreign leaders both abroad and at home. His working with the Israelis and four Arab nations resulted in peace and trade treaties between once sworn enemies. For that effort he has been nominated for four (4) Nobel Peace Prizes.
He took several European nations to task for not funding the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). As a result, several nations have begun to pay their share. He is the first president to challenge China’s stated objective to be the dominant power in the world. China is now internationally recognized as an extreme threat to the peace of the world.
Under his leadership, he reduced taxes and regulations to the benefit of the American economy in all sectors. His tax initiatives brought billions of dollars back to American shores to be used in manufacturing and job creation. He oversaw the negotiations in the Canada-Mexico-USA Trade Agreement, (USMCA) thereby eliminating the many flaws that existed in the old trade agreement under NAFTA.
His selfless devotion to duty and firm adherence to the basic principles and ideals upon which our country was founded have made possible his many major accomplishments in his quest to make America great again. His list of accomplishments has been tallied on no less than 33 pages. A link to those accomplishments can be found HERE.
President Trump gave people the hope that things actually could be better with the right leadership and positive actions by government to get out of the people’s way and let the capabilities, creativity and spirit of the American people solve many of their own problems. A full belly, engaged in rewarding work, can be productive, prosperous and generous. An empty belly is the deep well of hopelessness. President Trump’s efforts gave millions of Americans respected work and full bellies.
In recognition of his outstanding and dedicated service and to the millions of lives he touched and inspired, “We the People” take great pleasure in presenting this Medal of Freedom to President Donald J. Trump.

As bestowed upon President Trump by “We the Freedom-Loving People” of the United States of America.
Enduring a relentless assault on his presidency; pummeled by viscous attacks on his presidential actions; taunted by criticism of his family and his character; haunted by U. S. District court judges that thwarted his every move; hounded by Democrat politicians and bureaucrats, the mainstream and social media and pilloried by Democrat members of Congress, with some from his own party, President Donald J. Trump managed to devote his full time as president for and on behalf of America and the American people. He fought for us and he paid a huge, unnecessary and unwarranted price for it.
His America First policy was what a floundering and listless electorate needed to pull them out of the dull drums of a failing economy and a general feeling that America was headed in the wrong direction, after the failed presidency of in-eligible to be president, Barack Hussein Obama and the corrupt Vice President “I never took a dime from China” Joe Biden.
From decreasing taxes and regulations, to jobs, to foreign policy, to military readiness, to international trade, to health care and to the Coronavirus, his focus was always on what is good for America and Americans. He rejected globalism, socialism and radical environmentalism, all enemies of a free people.
The huge crowds that attended his rallies were a testament to his wide popularity. He said what free Americans wanted to hear. He took us back to the days of being proud to be Americans again; of being proud of American exceptionalism, prosperity and generosity; of being proud to have a job and be able to work and to cherish our freedom and liberty, the promise of our creator.
President Trump, beholden to no one, took on the Establishment and the Deep State. He levied huge criticisms at the press for publishing lies and propaganda about he and his supporters. No, he isn’t perfect but then none of us are. He was dogged by his petty tweets that tended to overshadow his achievements and gave the press and social media the ammunition they needed to paint him in false colors. If he made a mistake, it was for not fully assessing the power and entrenchment of the Washington DC Establishment and Deep State. That immense political power, aided and abetted by social media and the press, along with massive voter fraud, cost him re-election. The failure of his re-election bid was a huge, if not devastating loss for America and American freedom.
Meanwhile, the violent, looting, burning Black Lives Matter (BLM) cult is nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize as the real peace maker is drummed out of office by a socialist Democrat, gone totally insane, mob of government-dependent, blind party idiots. Democrats, the news media and corporate America not only sanctioned BLM but gave it huge sums of money as well. They turned a blind eye and ignored the rioting, burning, looting and violence by BLM and ANTIFA in cities all over America.
And no! Trump did not cause the riots at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021. The occupation of the Capitol on that day was pre-planned well in advance and designed to paint the Trump supporters as White Supremacists and domestic terrorists. The Democrat un-constitutional impeachment of Trump for allegedly inciting insurrection is a purely political scam to discredit Trump more than they have already. They are motivated by the raw emotion of unbridled hate for Trump who had the audacity to challenge the Establishment’s status quo in DC.
Nevertheless, in recognition of his service to his country and the American people, we strongly believe he should receive a “We The People” MEDAL OF FREEDOM. (click on the link to view the medal and certificate) In furtherance of that goal, we crafted a special Medal of Freedom, Certificate and Citation (shown above) worthy of President Trump’s exemplary service. It is our hope to obtain a minimum of 100,000 actual signatures in 60 days to accompany the Medal, Certificate and Citation when we send it all to him in one package, at Mar a Lago, Florida. You can access a PDF version of the signature page HERE, or upon your request we will e-mail you a WORD version of the signature page. E-mail your request HERE. Each signature page contains the instructions on what to do.
This effort will have no meaning or significance if we can’t get enough freedom-loving Americans to participate with their actual signatures. Actual signatures have a much greater impact than the on-line, push-a-button, signatures. Take a few minutes of your time and do something that will make you feel good about America again, in spite of what is happening in the nation’s capitol today. The Democrats will eventually go too far and America’ pendulum will begin to swing right again, if it isn’t too late.
And speaking of going too far, Google HR 127 and read what the House Dem’s are planning for your guns. The attack on the 2nd Amendment is several magnitude steps farther than the Democrats have ever taken gun control. You won’t believe it and it will make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. The words that will immediately come to your lips will be ….. CIVIL WAR!

Democrats, the news media and corporate America not only sanctioned BLM but gave it huge sums of money as well. They turned a blind eye and ignored the rioting, burning, looting and violence by BLM and ANTIFA in cities all over America.
And no! Trump did not cause the riots at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021. The occupation of the Capitol on that day was pre-planned well in advance and designed to paint the Trump supporters as White Supremacists and domestic terrorists. The Democrat un-constitutional impeachment of Trump for allegedly inciting insurrection is a purely political scam to discredit Trump more than they have already. They are motivated by the raw emotion of unbridled hate for Trump who had the audacity to challenge the Establishment’s status quo in DC.
Nevertheless, in recognition of his service to his country and the American people, we strongly believe he should receive a “We The People” MEDAL OF FREEDOM. (click on the link to view the medal and certificate) In furtherance of that goal, we crafted a special Medal of Freedom, Certificate and Citation (shown above) worthy of President Trump’s exemplary service. It is our hope to obtain a minimum of 100,000 actual signatures in 60 days to accompany the Medal, Certificate and Citation when we send it all to him in one package, at Mar a Lago, Florida. You can access a PDF version of the signature page HERE, or upon your request we will e-mail you a WORD version of the signature page. E-mail your request HERE. Each signature page contains the instructions on what to do.
This effort will have no meaning or significance if we can’t get enough freedom-loving Americans to participate with their actual signatures. Actual signatures have a much greater impact than the on-line, push-a-button, signatures. Take a few minutes of your time and do something that will make you feel good about America again, in spite of what is happening in the nation’s capitol today. The Democrats will eventually go too far and America’ pendulum will begin to swing right again, if it isn’t too late.
And speaking of going too far, Google HR 127 and read what the House Dem’s are planning for your guns. The attack on the 2nd Amendment is several magnitude steps farther than the Democrats have ever taken gun control. You won’t believe it and it will make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. The words that will immediately come to your lips will be ….. CIVIL WAR!

“No President In History Has Been Treated So Badly!”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

“As many have noted, Donald Trump's presidency is an insurgency. Mr. Trump himself is the quintessential insurgent, doing battle with a disingenuous and entrenched establishment.”
Shelby Steele, black conservative author, columnist, documentary filmmaker
“Please don't begin to believe that the American political establishment is anything but a corrupt puppet of oligarchy.” Alex Pareene, American writer and editor
There were 44 presidents before Donald Trump. A few were great presidents. Some were effective presidents and some were ineffective or corrupt presidents. Three presidents were impeached in the U. S. House. However, they weren’t convicted in the Senate trial because either there was no evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors, or they weren’t convicted for purely political reasons, or they couldn’t meet the two-thirds majority to convict. Richard Nixon resigned from office before an impeachment resolution was passed in the U. S. House. Had he not resigned, impeachment was a virtual certainty.
That the press has always had an adversarial relationship with past presidents is not in dispute. Thomas Jefferson, our third president, had his own problems with the press. In response he said, ”Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.”
Still Jefferson was frustrated and displeased by the partisan nature of the press. He retorted that, “nothing can now be believed which is seen in the newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle.” Does any of this sound familiar. Nothing seems to change.
Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your perspective, all presidents before Trump did not have to contend with the obvious collusion that now exists between filthy rich Democrat billionaires, the press, social media, academia and the Democrat Party. For almost five years they attacked Trump and his family, not only hourly and daily, but relentlessly and unmercifully as well. Trump became the butt of all jokes and the whipping boy of all criticism. The attack on Trump really started when Barack Obama “roasted” Trump at the 2011 White House Correspondents Dinner. Perhaps that is why Trump decided to run for President.
Even today the Democrats seemed determined to crush Trump even more, with the sham of an impeachment trial in the Senate. Some Republicans, who should be on Trump’s side are equivocating, or putting their finger in the air to determine which way the political wind is blowing. The two words that come to mind are “political cowards.” There are way too many “political cowards” in our alleged Republican Party. Liz Cheney and nine other Republicans are suspicious candidates for the “political coward” award.
President Trump did nothing to rise to the level of High Crimes and Misdemeanors and they know it. His second impeachment in the U. S. House was just as politically groundless as his first, without concrete evidence or substance.
Some of Trump’s troubles were magnified by his own and sometimes petty demeanor, as were manifested in some of his tweets. The press picked up on his shortcomings and beat him to death with them, all the while refusing to acknowledge the many positive actions he took for America and Americans of all ages, gender and races. Totally ignored is a list of accomplishments that eclipsed the accomplishments of any past president.
But Trump made an incalculable error, an error he may not have seem himself before it was too late. He ran for president as a total outsider, beholden to know one. He threw a log into the gears of the Establishment from both parties and ignited a firestorm of opposition from the federal Establishment itself and from the federal bureaucracy that some now call the Deep State.
Unbeknownst to most of the American people, that Establishment and Deep State and their corporate, union, socialist, environmental and globalist enablers, fully infected with the Progressive virus, have been building up for decades and its entrenched power, like a wounded lion, will attack anything that threatens it. Donald J. Trump was a direct threat to the Establishment and Deep State, even after he left office. That is why they have to crush he and his movement with impeachment, de-platform him from social media and silence him and his entire cabinet and support staff forever. That’s why they talk of labeling Trump supporters as domestic terrorists and the immediate imperative to re-program them.
The Establishment and Deep State are deathly afraid that Trump might still have political power and be able to keep the MAGA movement going. Hell hath no fury than a freedom-loving, well-armed American when scorned and has his or her rights taken away. Might he or she not think of insurrection, civil war, or revolution? With enough pressure, thoughts become actions and the Progressives know it. The only thing the Establishment and Deep State (the Swamp) fear from the freedom crowd is the possibility that they just might decide to challenge The Swamp’s power with violence, en masse. Why else would they arm the U. S. capitol with 26,000 troops during Biden’s inauguration?
No matter how bad Trump was treated; no matter that there is a strong possibility that he lost the election due to massive fraud and voting machine tampering; his contribution to America and Americans in four years is unprecedented. Had China’s Coronavirus not erupted on the scene, Trump would have been re-elected in a landslide. No-nothing, intellectually challenged Joe Biden would have been relegated to the scrap heap of failed recent Democrat presidential candidates like Mondale, Dukakis, McGovern, Humphrey and Kerry.
With respect to massive voter fraud and voting machine tampering in the 2020 election, Hillary Clinton amassed 65,844,610 votes in the 2016 election and beat Trump by 2.9 million votes, even though Trump won the Electoral College. How could anyone believe that Joe Biden actually received 81,283,485 votes in the 2020 election, a 23% increase for Democrats in just four years? It is truly unbelievable and a blatant fraud perpetrated on the American people! As Thomas Jefferson said, “you can’t trust the newspapers.” Well neither can you trust an American election any more. It has all the earmarks of an Iraqi election under Saddam Hussein, or a Venezuela election under Nicolas Maduro. Surprise! Surprise! The dictator got 100% of the votes cast!
If there were any cooler heads in our midst that used logic and intellect to make their decisions instead of dipping into the deep well of emotion or political party blindness, it could easily be construed that Donald J. Trump was one of the best presidents America ever had if you objectively judged what he did for America in both domestic and foreign policy and not what he tweeted. He should be applauded and heralded, not vilified, slandered, smeared, denounced and denigrated, all of which he was by rich billionaires, the news media, social media, the Establishment, the Deep State and the Democrat Party. You can add a few Republicans to that list as well.
In recognition of his being, in our opinion, the best president we’ve ever had, we have created not only a special Medal of Freedom for Donald Trump, but a framed certificate to go along with the medal. It is our intent to deliver the MEDAL and CERTIFICATE to Mr. Trump by special delivery as soon as possible after collecting as many signatures as we can. We would like to present the Medal and Certificate to Mr. Trump in person, but the logistics of that may be more than we can accomplish.
If you would like to participate in and lend your endorsement and approval of the Medal of Freedom and the Certificate, we ask that you log onto our Trump MEDAL OF FREEDOM web page and follow the instructions contained therein. This is designed to be a high quality endeavor, suitable for an extraordinary president that made us all feel good about America and being Americans.
It is no doubt that Mr. Trump has entered private life on a down note, having done so much for the American people and receiving little to no recognition for it. We believe that receiving this Medal and Certificate from tens of thousands (or millions) of Trump supporters will lift his spirits and encourage him to emerge as the true leader of the Republican Party and the MAGA movement.
We hope that you will find it in your heart to lend support to this effort. He deserves no less. We ask that you forward the MEDAL OF FREEDOM web page to as many on your list as possible, pass it around to other venues, put it up on social media, write articles about it for on-line newspapers and magazines and send letters to the editors of newspapers applauding this endeavor. Do something that will make you feel good about America for a change.

“The Buy Off Of The American People Is Complete”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.
© Copyright Sunday, January 17, 2021 - All Rights Reserved
“A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by one-party rule, or a dictatorship ….. [or an Absolute Democrat Monarchy!”] (multiple author version)
On January 20th, 2021 President-elect Joe Biden will give his Inaugural Address to the nation under the backdrop of 25,000 troops protecting the city against ….. what? His speech will be full of platitudes, clichés, bromides, promises, propaganda, lies and a hollow call for unity. It will be punctuated by the need to spend trillions of American taxpayer dollars on pays offs to constituents, Climate Change, the Green New Deal and provide amnesty for illegal aliens. Instead of unity, the speech will widen the division between the rich and poor, white, black, Latinos and Asians, man and woman, gay and straight, religious and non-religious, gun owner and non-gun owner.
The unity that Joe hopes for is a mirage. In a recent article we wrote: “Republicans and Democrats are engaging in cynical, destructive combat and have for at least a Century. Until the Democrats retreat from their headlong advance into Progressive socialism, radical environmentalism and globalism, and their attempts to destroy the foundation of individual freedom along with the Constitution itself, the combat will continue unabated. There will be no unity. There will only be division, vitriol, contempt, hostility, acrimony, disdain and quite possibly, civil war. Joe Biden’s call for unity is not only hypocritical, it is a hollow attempt at reconciliation after waging a relentless, 4-year coup d’etat on a duly elected president of the United States!”
Nevertheless, Joe will focus on social and environmental justice, equity and gender equality. He’ll say that elections have consequences and the voters have spoken and because elections have consequences he has a mandate to implement all of his socialist policies. Laced within the speech is the implied “shut up and comply” directive and “don’t let those conservative nut cases convince you that you are free and you don’t have to comply.”
Diversity and identity politics will play a big role in Biden’s speech. His administration and cabinet are being built on diversity and identity politics. It’s not what you can do well that counts, it’s the color of your skin, or confusion about your gender that matters. What the speech won’t do is to strengthen the pledge to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States since the Constitution acts as an impediment to the goals and agendas of Joe Biden and the Democrats. Under Democrat control for at least the next two years, (if not four years) the Constitution will take a terrible beating from which it may never recover.
It’s not likely that Joe will mention the other plans that Democrats have for the American people, our system of government and the justice system that include adding Washington DC and Puerto Rico as new states, repealing the electoral college and the filibuster rule, free college tuition, Medicare for all and a whole host of massive changes to the relationship between government and the people where the people are subservient to the government. He obviously won’t mention the exploding deficit that one day could catapult us into hyperinflation where your dollar isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. And of course, voter fraud will be purposely omitted. To the Democrats, voter fraud is a Republican created myth.
In short, the government’s (Democrats) transformation of America into a socialist nation is complete. Democrat Presidents Wilson, Roosevelt, Johnson, Carter, Clinton, Obama and finally President Biden will have sealed America’s fate. The deed is done and it only took a century to do it. Progressivism, the movement that started around the turn of the 19th to 20th Centuries, has prevailed. All of our institutions, the news media, social media and academia, have been corrupted with Progressivism. Millions of Americans, young and old alike, have been brainwashed into believing that the Progressive ideology is the only true ideology. All other ideologies are to be excluded by censorship, or by force if necessary.
Socialism, radical environmentalism and one-world government (globalism) are embedded in the folds of Progressivism. Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton and the other signors of the Declaration of Independence had it all wrong. The White Europeans that gave birth to freedom and settled America were flawed and of course, worse than that, they were racists, according to the Democrats and Black Lives Matter cult.
The Democrats, over the last 100 years, have managed to buy off a majority of the American people with government handouts, such that those Americans will always vote to preserve those handouts. It doesn’t bother those voters to be dependent on government. They have no pride in being self-sufficient, self-reliant, independent, responsible and free, just so long as “they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.” As the Democrats have planned all a long, these dependent voters will continue to vote for those politicians (Democrats) that promise to keep the handouts coming until they have a majority that can’t be beat at the ballot box. That unbeatable majority arrived on November 3rd, 2020, accompanied by massive voter fraud that one day will be revealed.
The government-dependent urban coastal and Great Lakes cities now control the electoral process. By shear population, the big cities have overridden the Electoral College and rendered it irrelevant. The original 13 colonies, which gave birth to freedom, have gone wholly socialist because of the high-dense urban cities that have consumed those colonies. Conservative thought is now passé and out of touch with our contemporary society. The Constitution is an anachronism, out of date and incompatible with America’s high tech, fast-moving civilization, or so we are told.
In almost every word and deed, Democrats have forsaken our Constitution, even though Democrat politicians swear on oath to preserve, protect and defend that very same constitution. They counter with, "the Constitution is a 'fluid' document, subject to interpretation that changes over time." They ignore the statements in the Constitution that mandate it to be the Supreme Law of the Land. They scoff at the notion that the Constitution is to be literally interpreted in accordance with the original intent of the Framers. Many U. S. Supreme Court justices have purposely overlooked these mandates in their decisions.
We have allowed the Democrats to turn our balance of power, designed by our Founding Fathers in the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of government, on its head and we have allowed un-elected bureaucrats to make our laws. We have allowed activist judges to make law instead of adjudicating law. Liberal, socialists and radical environmental graduates of our liberal colleges have infiltrated our bureaucracies. And these bureaucracies make law, after law, after law until we are sick of laws and end up becoming lawless. Through these laws, with no constitutional authority or legislative approval, they have taken away our land, our money, our health care and our individual rights as Americans. Sadly, we have stood by and let them do it.
America is and has been a beacon to the world and will continue to be that beacon unless we let Democrats and others who seek our destruction, try to dim that light with failed policies, negativism, despondency, dependency, the trashing of our constitution and embarrassment for our achievements, instead of being proud of them. We are great as a country and great as a people because of those achievements.
America needs to be the leader and the shining light to the World, not try to compete with the different forms of government and merge our "ways" with their "ways". We are the most powerful country on Earth because we are free. (See: “We Are Free Because of Our Constitution”)
What America does, will determine the fate of the world. If we forsake freedom, if we sell our sovereignty in the name of globalism, or succumb to socialism for a few pieces of silver, if we break the bonds of our Constitution, if we abdicate our right and duty to defend freedom for ourselves and future generations, we shall descend into the mediocrity, apathy, disdain and self loathing under which the rest of the world operates and will be pulled down to their level, never to rise again. At that point American exceptionalism will be dead.
We have grave concerns that what we are facing today is a premeditated orchestration of the dismantling of our sacred institutions of freedom by Democrats and international elitists, that find that a free America stands in their way of their distorted concept of the one-world-order, social justice and environmental protection. (See: “Now You Can Watch Democrats Systematically Dismantle America”)
Their unconstitutional give-away policies have this country mired in debt, if not in bankruptcy. Their environmental policies of restricting everything that we do, has brought this once-proud, can-do nation to its knees. Their open-border and amnesty policies that allow anyone wanting to come here illegally, will radically alter our culture for decades to come and put us deeper in debt, from which we may never recover.
A clear and present danger hangs over this Country like a dark, ominous, angry cloud and threatens our freedom, if not our very existence. That dark, black cloud is the manifestation of abject socialism and radical environmentalism, the twin domestic evils that have invaded every corner of our society and that have been sold to us by a "liberal" mentality, promoted by Democrats.
Their ideas didn't come from our founding principles and our laws, they came out of the bowels of socialist Europe and the United Nations and have been codified into law by Democrat presidential executive orders and a Democrat-controlled U. S. Congress that has lost all allegiance to the Supreme Law of the Land, our Constitution. These policies come at us with soft-sounding words like social equity, gender equality, compassion, smart growth, sustainable development, biospheres, wildlife corridors, endangered species, invasive species, climate change, mass transit and the one-world order. It's all dressed up in motherhood, apple pie and Chevrolet and it is one of the biggest con games ever perpetrated on what have now become naïve, uninformed Americans.
But today, the hidden agenda of these perpetrators is finally being exposed all across America, as people are waking up to what has happened to them while they were sleeping. Resistance to ineffective coronavirus lockdowns and government tyranny are on the rise, even while China and other third-world countries are laughing at us. Politicians and bureaucrats are being “Challenged.”
It's way past time to fight back. This is still a great country, full of great people and it is salvageable if we will just act in unison with one purpose, vigorously defend our constitution and hold government to its limits, against the onslaught of failed liberal policies.
America is at war with itself. It is a nation in distress from within. Representatives of the people have become enemies of the people. The Constitution has been shredded and a nation of laws has morphed into a two-tier legal system; no law for the ruling class and the full force of the law for the rest of us. There is only one symbol that represents this situation and every patriotic American should display this “SYMBOL,” anywhere and everywhere they can. To do otherwise is to capitulate to the enemy.

Under Democrat control for at least the next two years, (if not four years) the Constitution will take a terrible beating from which it may never recover.
It’s not likely that Joe will mention the other plans that Democrats have for the American people, our system of government and the justice system that include adding Washington DC and Puerto Rico as new states, repealing the electoral college and the filibuster rule, free college tuition, Medicare for all and a whole host of massive changes to the relationship between government and the people where the people are subservient to the government. He obviously won’t mention the exploding deficit that one day could catapult us into hyperinflation where your dollar isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. And of course, voter fraud will be purposely omitted. To the Democrats, voter fraud is a Republican created myth.
In short, the government’s (Democrats) transformation of America into a socialist nation is complete. Democrat Presidents Wilson, Roosevelt, Johnson, Carter, Clinton, Obama and finally President Biden will have sealed America’s fate. The deed is done and it only took a century to do it. Progressivism, the movement that started around the turn of the 19th to 20th Centuries, has prevailed. All of our institutions, the news media, social media and academia, have been corrupted with Progressivism. Millions of Americans, young and old alike, have been brainwashed into believing that the Progressive ideology is the only true ideology. All other ideologies are to be excluded by censorship, or by force if necessary.
Socialism, radical environmentalism and one-world government (globalism) are embedded in the folds of Progressivism. Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton and the other signors of the Declaration of Independence had it all wrong. The White Europeans that gave birth to freedom and settled America were flawed and of course, worse than that, they were racists, according to the Democrats and Black Lives Matter cult.
The Democrats, over the last 100 years, have managed to buy off a majority of the American people with government handouts, such that those Americans will always vote to preserve those handouts. It doesn’t bother those voters to be dependent on government. They have no pride in being self-sufficient, self-reliant, independent, responsible and free, just so long as “they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.” As the Democrats have planned all a long, these dependent voters will continue to vote for those politicians (Democrats) that promise to keep the handouts coming until they have a majority that can’t be beat at the ballot box. That unbeatable majority arrived on November 3rd, 2020, accompanied by massive voter fraud that one day will be revealed.
The government-dependent urban coastal and Great Lakes cities now control the electoral process. By shear population, the big cities have overridden the Electoral College and rendered it irrelevant. The original 13 colonies, which gave birth to freedom, have gone wholly socialist because of the high-dense urban cities that have consumed those colonies. Conservative thought is now passé and out of touch with our contemporary society. The Constitution is an anachronism, out of date and incompatible with America’s high tech, fast-moving civilization, or so we are told.
In almost every word and deed, Democrats have forsaken our Constitution, even though Democrat politicians swear on oath to preserve, protect and defend that very same constitution. They counter with, "the Constitution is a 'fluid' document, subject to interpretation that changes over time." They ignore the statements in the Constitution that mandate it to be the Supreme Law of the Land. They scoff at the notion that the Constitution is to be literally interpreted in accordance with the original intent of the Framers. Many U. S. Supreme Court justices have purposely overlooked these mandates in their decisions.
We have allowed the Democrats to turn our balance of power, designed by our Founding Fathers in the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of government, on its head and we have allowed un-elected bureaucrats to make our laws. We have allowed activist judges to make law instead of adjudicating law. Liberal, socialists and radical environmental graduates of our liberal colleges have infiltrated our bureaucracies. And these bureaucracies make law, after law, after law until we are sick of laws and end up becoming lawless. Through these laws, with no constitutional authority or legislative approval, they have taken away our land, our money, our health care and our individual rights as Americans. Sadly, we have stood by and let them do it.
America is and has been a beacon to the world and will continue to be that beacon unless we let Democrats and others who seek our destruction, try to dim that light with failed policies, negativism, despondency, dependency, the trashing of our constitution and embarrassment for our achievements, instead of being proud of them. We are great as a country and great as a people because of those achievements.
America needs to be the leader and the shining light to the World, not try to compete with the different forms of government and merge our "ways" with their "ways". We are the most powerful country on Earth because we are free. (See: “We Are Free Because of Our Constitution”)
What America does, will determine the fate of the world. If we forsake freedom, if we sell our sovereignty in the name of globalism, or succumb to socialism for a few pieces of silver, if we break the bonds of our Constitution, if we abdicate our right and duty to defend freedom for ourselves and future generations, we shall descend into the mediocrity, apathy, disdain and self loathing under which the rest of the world operates and will be pulled down to their level, never to rise again. At that point American exceptionalism will be dead.
We have grave concerns that what we are facing today is a premeditated orchestration of the dismantling of our sacred institutions of freedom by Democrats and international elitists, that find that a free America stands in their way of their distorted concept of the one-world-order, social justice and environmental protection. (See: “Now You Can Watch Democrats Systematically Dismantle America”)
Their unconstitutional give-away policies have this country mired in debt, if not in bankruptcy. Their environmental policies of restricting everything that we do, has brought this once-proud, can-do nation to its knees. Their open-border and amnesty policies that allow anyone wanting to come here illegally, will radically alter our culture for decades to come and put us deeper in debt, from which we may never recover.
A clear and present danger hangs over this Country like a dark, ominous, angry cloud and threatens our freedom, if not our very existence. That dark, black cloud is the manifestation of abject socialism and radical environmentalism, the twin domestic evils that have invaded every corner of our society and that have been sold to us by a "liberal" mentality, promoted by Democrats.
Their ideas didn't come from our founding principles and our laws, they came out of the bowels of socialist Europe and the United Nations and have been codified into law by Democrat presidential executive orders and a Democrat-controlled U. S. Congress that has lost all allegiance to the Supreme Law of the Land, our Constitution. These policies come at us with soft-sounding words like social equity, gender equality, compassion, smart growth, sustainable development, biospheres, wildlife corridors, endangered species, invasive species, climate change, mass transit and the one-world order. It's all dressed up in motherhood, apple pie and Chevrolet and it is one of the biggest con games ever perpetrated on what have now become naïve, uninformed Americans.
But today, the hidden agenda of these perpetrators is finally being exposed all across America, as people are waking up to what has happened to them while they were sleeping. Resistance to ineffective coronavirus lockdowns and government tyranny are on the rise, even while China and other third-world countries are laughing at us. Politicians and bureaucrats are being “Challenged.”
It's way past time to fight back. This is still a great country, full of great people and it is salvageable if we will just act in unison with one purpose, vigorously defend our constitution and hold government to its limits, against the onslaught of failed liberal policies.
America is at war with itself. It is a nation in distress from within. Representatives of the people have become enemies of the people. The Constitution has been shredded and a nation of laws has morphed into a two-tier legal system; no law for the ruling class and the full force of the law for the rest of us. There is only one symbol that represents this situation and every patriotic American should display this “SYMBOL,” anywhere and everywhere they can. To do otherwise is to capitulate to the enemy.

“Now You Can Watch Democrats
Systematically Dismantle America”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

“When the government violates the people's rights, insurrection is, for the people and for each portion of the people, the most sacred of the rights and the most indispensable of duties.“
Marquis de Lafayette, French aristocrat and military officer who fought in the American Revolutionary War
Many politicians, both Democrat and Republican alike, were aghast at the rioters assaulting that most sacred of all government buildings, (according to them) the U. S. Capitol, the alleged seat of representative government. How dare these Trump supporters attack the “People’s House.” Apparently it's OK for Democrats, Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA to riot, burn and loot private businesses in cities all over America because an armed-robbery black man felon, who served eight separate prison terms, was killed by an over-aggressive cop. The Democrats and the media were silent and only the Republicans denounced the Democrat-Black Lives Matter incited violence of the summer and fall of 2020. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi quipped, “that’s what people do.”
But the fury of the Congress, Republicans and Democrats, came down hard on those who dared to riot at the Capitol Building. Why did they riot you might ask? Because the Congress has abandoned them, Republicans and Democrats, as well as abandoning the Constitution and allowed socialism to fester, grow and prosper in America. The protester’s 74,000,000 votes in an unconstitutional, fraud-laced election for Trump meant nothing. In their frustration and anger, what were they to do? They started out peaceful enough, but were probably egged on after ANTIFA and other inciters hijacked the peaceful protest.
This isn't the last of these events. There will be more and they will get increasingly ugly as Joe Biden and his Democrat-controlled Congress start implementing their socialist agenda, a devastating agenda we delineated in our “Challenge” to the Biden-Harris Administration.
Given what happened at the Capitol on January 6th, it is apparent that the Democrats have ignited a powder keg in America that is about to blow up in their socialist faces. Although we hope not, the protests on January 6th could very well be a precursor to civil war, or outright revolution.
Yes, the Capitol was breached, but worse than that, in the election of 2020, the federal and state Constitutions were breached as well, which seems to be mostly ignored by most members of Congress. In their pursuit of one-party rule, the Democrats have so badly trashed the Constitution it is hardly recognizable any more. The U. S. Supreme Court has done little to hold the Democrats to the Constitution. And the Republicans haven’t done much to stop the Democrats either. Are Lisa Murkowski, Pat Tomey, Susan Collins, or Mitt Romney friends of conservatives? Hardly!
People forget that when the Democrats held both Houses of Congress and the Presidency in 2010, they dumped a blatantly unconstitutional Obama Care on all of us, with Chief Justice John Robert’s help. In the 10 years since Obama Care has been in effect, it has defied any attempts to repeal it. Remember! We have learned from Obama Care that whatever the Democrats do in the next two years cannot be undone. Their socialist policies will be set in stone, even if they violate the Constitution, or the Republicans replace them in 2022. The damage they will inflict on America and Americans in the next two years, including bastardizing the three branches of government, will be devastating and irreversible, unless they are stopped.
Given this inevitability, do the Democrats think that free Americans would simply roll over now that the Democrats have taken back the Congress and the Presidency again? Do they still think that 75 to 100 million freedom-loving, heavily-armed Americans are going to sit idly by and allow the Democrats to fundamentally transform America into a socialist, globalist nation? If they are of that mind, they are barking up the stupid tree.
Kevin McCarthy, House minority leader, came out and called for calm and then asked “why we can’t respect one another and our differing opinions.” Differing opinions are one thing. Dismantling the fundamentals and foundation of individual freedom by inserting globalist-socialist policies into the mix, is quite another.
We do not advocate or condone violence, or the overthrow of the United States of America. Our goal is to return America to its original foundation of individual freedom and unalienable, God-given, natural rights under a Constitutional Republic, by peaceful means. But as we watch and predict the path that America is on, we are well aware conservatives are bucking serious head winds. It appears that the Democrats, (government-dependent city inhabitants) are determined to take America in a direction that will dismantle our Constitution, our individual freedom and our Constitutional Republic. They want total government control of everything and everybody. They want massive government handouts to buy off their government-dependent city voters to remain in power and they want the rest of us to be docile, compliant robots, (slaves) dutifully paying our exorbitant taxes and complying with crushing regulations. The question is, will Americans bow down to this treasonous ruling class?
But let’s get back to the election of 2020. Even if we conclude there was no election fraud in any state and neither any state or the federal constitutions were violated, the interference in the election by billionaires, social media, academia and the mainstream media on behalf of Joe Biden and the Democrats, eclipsed all foreign interference by several orders of magnitude, with no consequences to the perpetrators. Besides the hands-off approach to Biden’s criminal son Hunter and Joe’s numerous flaws, gaffs and outright lies and the glowing accolades heaped upon Biden and Harris, Americans were barraged with the unrelenting attacks on Trump in four or more years of character assassination, attempts at the non-judicial implementation of the 25th Amendment and the groundless impeachment by other means. No president in the history of America has been treated so viciously, all because he dared to challenge the Establishment, the bureaucratic swamp and the status quo.
Added to that was the blatant disregard and duty of the press to be fair, accurate, objective and non-biased. On top of all this came the hostile social media suppression and censoring of anything and everything conservative. Even if there was no election fraud, Trump didn’t stand a chance of winning re-election. Social media, the Establishment, the Deep State and the news torpedoed Trump from the start. In short, the deck was stacked. Trump and his supporters have every right to feel indignant and angry, which led to the January 6th March on Washington, DC and the subsequent rioting and violence at the Capitol.
Facebook and Twitter have shut down the President of the United States permanently. They have effectively silenced him, at least for now. Google and Apple have dropped the conservative twitter-style platform Parler. Is this author or you, next? The face of Nazi fascism has raised its ugly head again, here in the United States, except it isn’t the government, it’s corporate high tech aligned with government. What next, “Kristallnacht,” or the national demonization of all conservatives on a massive scale by Democrats, like they did to the Jews in Germany? Could conservatives become persona non grata in their own country?
No, wanton violence is not the answer. However, as we said in our previous article, “The hard truth is, socialist Democrats cannot be defeated without millions of conservative Americans rising up in unison, with force if necessary. But long before force becomes necessary, conservatives have peaceful means at their disposal. The constitution is still in force. The law is still functional even though Democrat corruption, collusion and judicial activism are in blatant evidence. Peaceful protests and Redress of Grievances are still protected by the First Amendment. The trick is for all conservatives to peacefully speak with one voice in one single action at a time.” If not, the 2nd Amendment might end up being the final arbiter.
What can that one “single-action-at-a-time” look like?
Ladies and gentlemen, you have already discovered that your conservative vote doesn’t count, either because of fraud, or majority Democrat votes. You either fight back with concrete actions or accept the inevitable slavery and the hostile dismantling of our Constitutional Republic. That hostile dismantling of our Republic is already well underway by the Democrats and has been for many decades. We are being forced to relive the FDR years ….. for our own good of course.
Once again, as we wrote recently, “There is very little time left to save the Republic from disintegration from within by Democrats. If you don’t want to see America turn into a socialist regime; if you don’t want to see American sovereignty dissolve into mediocre, corrupt globalism; if you don’t want to see America descend into riots, chaos and anarchy like what happened in Washington DC on January 6th; if you don’t want to see the permanent take over of the American government by top-down authoritarian socialist Democrat oligarchs in a one-party rules all; if you don’t want to see the destruction of the U. S. Constitution; if you don’t want to witness individual freedom fade into some old aging history book never to rise again; then we urge you to take that “one single action” and log onto “The Challenge” today!”
If American conservatives want to win they’d better be smart, not violent.
Or, perhaps it is time to employ the “Encirclement.”

What can that one “single-action-at-a-time” look like?
- A list of demands signed by no less than 10,000,000 conservative “We The People” Americans and delivered to the president, congress, state legislatures and governors of every state.
- A single, well thought out response by at least 10,000,000 Americans to a problem caused by government, like illegal immigration, an over excessive burdensome regulation, virus induced lock downs, etc.
- Civil disobedience executed by freedom-loving Americans on a grand scale of an egregious law, policy, tax, or rule.
- The establishment of citizen-patrolled, sovereign autonomous zones in cities, towns and rural areas, all over America, where ALL government agents and law enforcement are denied access, punctuated by our powerful, legally intimidating No Trespassing signs.
- Or how about 10,000,000 conservative Americans closing out their Facebook and Twitter accounts and dumping the Google search engine in favor of Bing or other search engine. That will hit social media right where it hurts the most, in the pocket book.
Ladies and gentlemen, you have already discovered that your conservative vote doesn’t count, either because of fraud, or majority Democrat votes.

“Nothing Will Stop the Socialists
Short of A Massive Conservative Uprising”

Socialism and Capitalism – In Contrast
“To me, what socialism means is to guarantee a basic level of dignity. It's asserting the value of saying that the America we want and the America that we are proud of is one in which all children can access a dignified education. It's one in which no person is too poor to have the medicines they need to live.” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York Congresswoman
”Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” Winston Churchill, Former Prime Minister of England, World War II
“I am for socialism, disarmament, and, ultimately, for abolishing the state itself... I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and the sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal.” Roger Nash Baldwin, socialist worker and one of the founders of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)
“Socialism states that you owe me something simply because I exist. Capitalism, by contrast, results in a sort of reality-forced altruism: I may not want to help you, I may dislike you, but if I don't give you a product or service you want, I will starve. Voluntary exchange is more moral than forced redistribution.” Ben Shapiro, Conservative Radio Talk Show Host
In short, a socialist would abolish the U. S. Constitution, the foundation of liberty. In contrast, the capitalist would preserve, protect and defend the Constitution to assure that individual freedom and the American Constitutional Republic will be preserved in perpetuity.
The socialist wants top-down power run by arrogant elites who think they know what is best for all people and will exercise dictatorial control to enforce their top-down power. In response to the Coronavirus, wide-scale business shut downs, national forced mask wearing and mandatory vaccinations come easy to them. They are obsessed with power. Their final goal is absolute power. Their guides are the “Rules for Radicals” and the “Karl Marx manifesto.”
Once again and in contrast, the capitalist wants bottom up power in what is known as the “people” or the “Consent of the Governed.” They are guided by and take their cues from the Declaration of Independence and the U. S. Constitution.
But then of course you know all this, don’t you? The question is, what are you going to do about it?
The socialist Democrats are winning and they have been winning for many decades, all the way back to President Woodrow Wilson, about the time when the Progressive Movement was beginning to take off. Through decades of public school and college brainwashing, they have convinced a majority of the people to believe that socialism is the way and the light. Every big city in America is the soul and heartbeat of Progressivism. Unfortunately, that is where most of the votes are concentrated. Every Democrat voter that aids and abets the socialist Democrats with their vote is a traitor to the Constitution, a traitor to the Constitutional Republic and a traitor to individual freedom itself.
Virtually every American institution is infected with the Progressive ideology. Their goal is the exclusion of any other ideology and total control of the government. They are very close to reaching that goal and a large segment of the population is helping them to get there by the votes of that large segment. Stopping them from reaching that goal is the duty and responsibility of every Conservative individual if freedom is to be preserved. With Joe Biden as president, that duty and responsibility is ever more urgent.
But then of course you know all this, don’t you? The question is, what are you going to do about it?
In pursuit of stopping the socialist Democrats, trillions of words have been written and uttered by conservative authors and hundreds of talk show hosts, mostly to no avail. President Trump came along and attempted to throw a monkey wrench into the gears of the Progressive Establishment. For his efforts the Establishment and Deep State sought revenge and obstructed every attempt he made to help all Americans in both national and foreign policy. They broke the law to spy on him. (No one has been held accountable for those crimes.) They went after his campaign staff. They labeled him a traitor. They say he colluded with a foreign power, Russia. They investigated him relentlessly. They tried to impeach him but failed. They assailed his character. They attacked his family. They said he was daft and crazy in the head. They belittled the positive initiatives he completed, or didn’t report on them at all. He received no accolades from the press or anyone else for the work that he has done for America and Americans. Even so, he has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize three times.
In spite of the heated and constant attacks by academics, the news and social media, Trump has been able to do more for all Americans in four years than virtually any other president before him. Nevertheless, he receives no credit for his efforts. They did it to President Reagan, they did it to George H. W. Bush and they did it to George W. Bush. That is the future and what can be expected for any Republican President in America today. The Establishment, the Deep State and social media have stacked the deck against conservatives. The fix is in. The pay-offs have been paid.
The reality is, the socialist Democrats have a score of 1, and the Conservatives have a score of 0, in this political game known as “power-power, who has the power?” The socialist Democrats have the ball and they are keeping it from the Conservatives ….. by any means, including cheating, lying, deception and voter fraud.
But then of course you know all this, don’t you? The question is, what are you going to do about it?
Yes, we know. You have heard all this before. The hard truth is, socialist Democrats cannot be defeated without millions of conservatives rising up in unison, with force if necessary. But long before force becomes necessary, conservatives have peaceful means at their disposal. The constitution is still in force. The law is still functional even though Democrat corruption and collusion is in blatant evidence. Peaceful protests and Redress of Grievances are still protected by the First Amendment. The trick is for all conservatives to speak with one voice in one single action at a time.
If just 10 million conservative Americans contacted the White House and their senators and congressmen and women on one single subject, the President and Congress would have to listen.
The government’s Achilles heal is the money we send to them in the form of taxes. If 10 million Americans just stopped paying all of their taxes, Washington DC and state governments would get the message. The IRS or the states simply could not prosecute 10 million Americans for breaking the law. After all, in 2020 government did hardly anything to stop the rioting, looting and burning perpetrated by socialist Democrats, Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA, in major cities around the country. The government lets millions of illegal aliens get away with breaking our laws and even murder, rape and robbery.
What we are leading up to is a single action that millions of conservative Americans could take with very little effort on their part. If implemented en masse, governments, powerful corporations, the Establishment and the Deep State would suddenly realize their game is up. The people will have spoken and with force behind their words.
We offer this single action as a patriot that is determined to not let a free America shrivel up and die because a power, foreign to freedom, is trying to take over and radically change America from a free nation to an Absolute Democrat Monarchy, ruled by arrogant oligarchs and insane wood-be dictators.
This single statement, with strong language, is a direct and open challenge to the incoming President and Vice President of the United States, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, should they be inaugurated on January 20th, 2021 and it looks like they will be. The challenge (a warning!) is powerful and comes with teeth to back it up. Its effect will be determined by the number of conservative Americans that are willing to put their name to that challenge. If not in the millions, the challenge will be ignored.
The challenge must go viral. To get the message out, it must appear on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and wherever else in social media. It should be tweeted and re-tweeted a million times. It should be uttered from the lips of millions of Americans with the message that freedom is not dead, the Constitution has not been overturned, the rule of law is still operational and America’s Constitutional Republic is alive and well, ready for the fight. If you truly want to stop the socialist Democrats and globalism, millions of Americans need to take up the challenge.
For those of you whose heart still beats strong for individual freedom, we urge you to review this challenge and determine for yourself if you have the courage to back it up. If you intend to sit on the sidelines in this fight, you will eventually get what you deserve.
There is very little time left to save the Republic from disintegration from within. If you don’t want to see America turn into a socialist regime; if you don’t want to see American sovereignty dissolve into mediocre, corrupt globalism; if you don’t want to see the permanent take over of the American government by top-down authoritarian socialist oligarchs; if you don’t want to see the destruction of the U. S. Constitution; if you don’t want to witness individual freedom fade into some old aging history book never to arise again; then we urge you to log onto “The Challenge” today!
Conservatives owe it to America and freedom to start off 2021 with a major concrete action.

“To me, what socialism means is to guarantee a basic level of dignity. It's asserting the value of saying that the America we want and the America that we are proud of is one in which all children can access a dignified education. It's one in which no person is too poor to have the medicines they need to live.” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York Congresswoman
”Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” Winston Churchill, Former Prime Minister of England, World War II
“I am for socialism, disarmament, and, ultimately, for abolishing the state itself... I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and the sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal.” Roger Nash Baldwin, socialist worker and one of the founders of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)
“Socialism states that you owe me something simply because I exist. Capitalism, by contrast, results in a sort of reality-forced altruism: I may not want to help you, I may dislike you, but if I don't give you a product or service you want, I will starve. Voluntary exchange is more moral than forced redistribution.” Ben Shapiro, Conservative Radio Talk Show Host
In short, a socialist would abolish the U. S. Constitution, the foundation of liberty. In contrast, the capitalist would preserve, protect and defend the Constitution to assure that individual freedom and the American Constitutional Republic will be preserved in perpetuity.
The socialist wants top-down power run by arrogant elites who think they know what is best for all people and will exercise dictatorial control to enforce their top-down power. In response to the Coronavirus, wide-scale business shut downs, national forced mask wearing and mandatory vaccinations come easy to them. They are obsessed with power. Their final goal is absolute power. Their guides are the “Rules for Radicals” and the “Karl Marx manifesto.”
Once again and in contrast, the capitalist wants bottom up power in what is known as the “people” or the “Consent of the Governed.” They are guided by and take their cues from the Declaration of Independence and the U. S. Constitution.
But then of course you know all this, don’t you? The question is, what are you going to do about it?
The socialist Democrats are winning and they have been winning for many decades, all the way back to President Woodrow Wilson, about the time when the Progressive Movement was beginning to take off. Through decades of public school and college brainwashing, they have convinced a majority of the people to believe that socialism is the way and the light. Every big city in America is the soul and heartbeat of Progressivism. Unfortunately, that is where most of the votes are concentrated. Every Democrat voter that aids and abets the socialist Democrats with their vote is a traitor to the Constitution, a traitor to the Constitutional Republic and a traitor to individual freedom itself.
Virtually every American institution is infected with the Progressive ideology. Their goal is the exclusion of any other ideology and total control of the government. They are very close to reaching that goal and a large segment of the population is helping them to get there by the votes of that large segment. Stopping them from reaching that goal is the duty and responsibility of every Conservative individual if freedom is to be preserved. With Joe Biden as president, that duty and responsibility is ever more urgent.
But then of course you know all this, don’t you? The question is, what are you going to do about it?
In pursuit of stopping the socialist Democrats, trillions of words have been written and uttered by conservative authors and hundreds of talk show hosts, mostly to no avail. President Trump came along and attempted to throw a monkey wrench into the gears of the Progressive Establishment. For his efforts the Establishment and Deep State sought revenge and obstructed every attempt he made to help all Americans in both national and foreign policy. They broke the law to spy on him. (No one has been held accountable for those crimes.) They went after his campaign staff. They labeled him a traitor. They say he colluded with a foreign power, Russia. They investigated him relentlessly. They tried to impeach him but failed. They assailed his character. They attacked his family. They said he was daft and crazy in the head. They belittled the positive initiatives he completed, or didn’t report on them at all. He received no accolades from the press or anyone else for the work that he has done for America and Americans. Even so, he has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize three times.
In spite of the heated and constant attacks by academics, the news and social media, Trump has been able to do more for all Americans in four years than virtually any other president before him. Nevertheless, he receives no credit for his efforts. They did it to President Reagan, they did it to George H. W. Bush and they did it to George W. Bush. That is the future and what can be expected for any Republican President in America today. The Establishment, the Deep State and social media have stacked the deck against conservatives. The fix is in. The pay-offs have been paid.
The reality is, the socialist Democrats have a score of 1, and the Conservatives have a score of 0, in this political game known as “power-power, who has the power?” The socialist Democrats have the ball and they are keeping it from the Conservatives ….. by any means, including cheating, lying, deception and voter fraud.

“Democrats, Take Your Power-Hungry
Demagogues And Shove It!”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.
© Copyright Sunday, December 20, 2020 - All Rights Reserved
“One ought never to turn one’s back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!” Winston Churchill
The Gadsden Flag, named after Christopher Gadsden, an American general and statesman, came to be a symbol of the thirteen original colonies and of American freedom and spirit. Its origins are traced back to Benjamin Franklin from a hand carved replica he made of a snake cut into eight pieces that represented the 13 colonies, with the head being the New England colonies and the tail representing South Carolina. This hand carved image became one of the first political cartoons in history.
Paul Revere added the symbol as a snake, joined to fight a British Dragon, in an article in the "Massachusetts Spy", one of the first newspapers in the new world.
In an essay published in the Pennsylvania Journal, Benjamin Franklin said: "I recollected that her eye (speaking of the snake) excelled in brightness, that of any other animal, and that she has no eye-lid. She may therefore be esteemed an emblem of vigilance. She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She is therefore an emblem of magnanimity and true courage."
The Gadsen Flag was a symbol for those who were true to Churchill’s admonition of not running away from anything and exhibiting the attributes of magnanimity and true courage. The flag speaks to the issue of individual sovereignty. Individual sovereignty is the exercise of free will. It is similar to, or the same as national sovereignty, where a country exercises the free will of a nation, without any influence from other nations. National sovereignty is characterized by geographical boundaries and a set of principles under which sovereignty is exercised within those boundaries.
However, individual sovereignty is a state of mind. Its boundaries are limited by the proximity of another individual, also exercising free will. The Founding Fathers recognized individual free will, or individual sovereignty as it were, as the right of every human being to life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness, as was delineated succinctly in the first sentence of the second paragraph in the Declaration of Independence, by its visionary author, Thomas Jefferson. It was government’s duty and obligation to preserve, protect and defend that individual sovereignty. Government has failed in that duty. (See: “There Is Only One Inviolate Truth in the Declaration”)
Sadly, Americans have been running away from danger and their right to individual sovereignty for decades. The price they will pay for their apathy will be heavy indeed.
Here are a few excerpts from the Declaration of Independence as our Founding Fathers sought redress from the oppressive hand of King George III, of England. The parallels are uncanny, startling and downright disturbing.
How many of these statements from the Declaration are directly applicable to our current situation under an oppressive United States Government? All of them!!! It’s going to get even more oppressive under a Harris-Biden Administration.
It appears that after 240 plus years and the tens of thousands of men and women who were maimed or gave their lives to defend our freedom, we successfully became independent from a foreign power, England, only to become helplessly dependent on our own government.
A country founded on the God-given, unalienable individual rights and self-reliance, has morphed into weak individuals, dependency and a complete willingness to be dominated by an ever-more-powerful government, local, state, or federal, because that government has brought a perpetual Christmas as an all-benevolent Santa Claus, handing out "free" gifts, largess and public welfare, transferred by force at the point of a gun, from the sweat, blood and tears of the American producer.
Government has become the purveyor of waste, fraud, abuse and corruption and destroys America's free spirit along with its independence, creativity, ingenuity, industriousness and generosity. Almost everything that government touches ends up in failure, or very expensive, with dire, unintended consequences. Or maybe those consequences are intended to further government’s control over the people.
Democrats have taken the Coronavirus pandemic and turned it into a rationale to increase their political power way beyond the bounds of their charter. They have used that power to withdraw all individual constitutional protections from the people. They have ignored the science and exercised dictatorial control over selected segments of the economy and for all intents and purposes, issued a death sentence to the hapless victims of their increased power. It is well past time to tell those Democrats, “Don’t Tread On Me” and “Get Off My Back.” Many are doing so as we speak and the mood is growing. Could a revolution be far behind?
(See: “BLM, Covid-19 and Climate Change, The Three Great International Cons”)
It is time to bring back the symbol of American freedom and indomitable spirit, the Gadsden Flag, with the message to everyone in Government and those that support their policies of socialism, communism and radical environmentalism, "Don't Tread On Me", or “Get Your Cotton Pickin’ Hands Off My Money, My Property, My Health Care and My Life because I am a proud American and I don’t NEED or WANT your interference. You don’t own me.”
I will dedicate my “life, my fortune and my sacred honor” in the defense of freedom for me, my children and my grandchildren. As long as there is breath in my body, I shall not submit to government's unconstitutional power and I will enlist a multitude of others in this most noble of all causes, the preservation, protection and defense of freedom and liberty for all.
We call out to those whose spirit and resolve are at the core of their being and represent the very soul of liberty. We call out to all Americans who believe strongly in righting a wrong and who have the courage and the will to return this great land to the destiny for which it was born; the extension of liberty for Americans and all other peoples of the Earth, into the infinite future. For life without liberty is not life at all, but in fact is a living Hell in slavery.
What the colonists faced with the British, we now face with our own government. It took a bloody revolution to unlock the chains of English slavery. The question is, can we unlock the chains of American slavery with just words and civil deeds, or will once again freedom have to be regained by force and bloody violence? We urge that long before violence becomes the only alternative, rise up so that we may regain our freedom by the application of our own law, which provides us with a legal and lawful mechanism to hold government within its constitutional limits. Let us return our laws to common sense, constitutional principles and restore the goodness that lies in the hearts of all men, to our institutions of freedom, such that freedom is perpetual instead of accidental, or born out of misery, heartache, violence and revolution. Freedom is always in our grasp but we must at all times be ready and willing to make the sacrifices that are necessary to maintain it. Now is that time. Let us declare a “Declaration of Defiance.”
This will conclude our weekly column for 2020. We will restart the column in January 2021.
It has been a tumultuous year, full of unknowns, unpredictable events, Democrat power grabs, massive pain and suffering for thousands of small businesses, unprecedented un-employment, trillion dollar stimulus packages that have exploded the national debt and the unheard of release of a vaccine in less than 10 months. Years before 2020 we have seen the 13 colonies that gave birth to freedom, morph into Karl Marx strongholds. We have witnessed the coast states descend into fiscal and moral bankruptcy by promising too much government largess to its citizens.
Many will be glad to see 2020 fade into the history books. Unfortunately, 2021 may not be any better under a Harris-Biden Administration. We shall see.
We wish everyone a Merry Christmas, hopefully shared with family and friends in spite of the virus. We urge you not to let fear and government intimidation rule your holiday, or your lives. “Tell Democrats To Take Their Power-Hungry Demagogues And Shove It!” Freedom has not yet died in America.

- He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
- He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws;
- He has imposed Taxes on us without our Consent:
- He has taken away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
- In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury.
- We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us.
How many of these statements from the Declaration are directly applicable to our current situation under an oppressive United States Government? All of them!!! It’s going to get even more oppressive under a Harris-Biden Administration.

“To Kill A Free Nation, Take Over Public Education”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

“We begin with the child when he is three years old. As soon as he begins to think, he gets a little flag put into his hand. Then he follows the school, the Hitler Youth, the SA [SA= German Assault Division] and military training. We don’t let him go. And then when adolescence is passed, then comes the Arbeitsfront, [labor party] which takes him again and does not let him go until he dies, whether he likes it or not.” Robert Ley, Nazi labour chief, 1938
In an article we penned a few years back entitled, “Our Little Black Box Theory”, we wrote: “The fact is, a freshly born human being is nothing more than a giant sponge that absorbs everything that it hears, sees, smells, tastes, or touches in its immediate environment and all that it absorbs is, for the most part, locked into its "Little Black Box" for the rest of its life. [including everything it learns and remembers from school] The person is a slave to it, but is not aware that they are a slave, because it defines who they are. They can be nothing else.”
Essentially, it is very easy for a parent, a special interest group, or a government to literally manufacture any type of human being they want. The Chinese Communist Party has taken this one step further by manipulating the DNA molecule to create so-called “super” human beings, or in their case “super” soldiers. Babies and elementary and adolescent humans are soft and malleable and can be molded to possess certain characteristics containing the pre-determined attributes of its teachers, just like Hitler did.
The forces that are influencing our public schools are global. Just the other day we received an e-mail from “Discovery Education”, a global entity that provides alleged educational curriculum in digital format to school systems all over the world. What do their curriculums contain? Who writes their curriculums? They don’t say and we could find no sources that would tell us. Nevertheless, “Discovery Education” has a huge presence in America’s public education. Have you heard of them?
We had never heard of “Discovery Education” before and decided to investigate further. No matter where we looked, we could not find the people or the money sources behind “Discovery Education.” The e-mail we received from them was celebrating Human Rights Day. The e-mail was laced with social justice and equity, both socialist-globalist terms. The e-mail also had a section on “unlocking the power of testimony to counter hate,” a program created by the USC Shoah Foundation centered around testimony from the Holocaust.
“Discovery Education” even has videos on “Social and Emotional Skills.” One such video allegedly “equips students with the skills necessary to reduce stress and create ‘Sustainable Happiness’ by providing curriculum and standards-aligned resources.” Ever heard of the word “sustainable” before? Of course you have. It is right out of United Nations Agenda 21. Liberals love this word.
We did learn that that “Discovery Education” just purchased “Mystery Science” for $140,000,000. Where did “Discovery Education” get $140,000,000? George Soros maybe? “Mystery Science” provides digital and video science information for K-5 children. Are the videos they provide totally science objective, or do they inject social biases into the information? Is Climate Change included in their videos? Of course it is. “Mystery Science” is also heavily represented in America’s public education system and provides science information to highly vulnerable elementary school children, a very good place to cement information, true or not, in their “Little Black Boxes.”
This doesn’t even include the socialist textbooks you will find in almost every classroom. That is a whole other subject in itself.
But then along came Common Core State Standards (CCSS). We received a math teaching document about CCSS a while back and what we read made the hairs on the back of our neck stand up.
Here are some excerpts from the document:
"All students are entitled to quality instruction within an equitable learning environment, designed to meet their specific learning needs."
What stood out from this sentence was "..... an equitable learning environment". We wondered, "what does that mean?" Reading further it became clear what it meant and it had nothing to do with math.
The document explained further:
"Promoting and supporting equitable practices for students is a complex process and is best supported when your collaborative team examines several factors. The National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics' (2008) position statement on equity recommends that mathematics educators:" [NOTE: Only educated idiot psychologists and sociologists can make something a complex process]
• "Respond to equity as a meaningful process to address social justice issues of race, language, gender, and class bias." [and they call this math!]
• "Embrace a mindset shift from a student deficit perspective of equity to a focus on creating opportunities for equal access to meaningful mathematics." [what does “equity” have to do with math?]
• "Recognize underachievement not as a result of group membership but more likely a symptom of varying beliefs, opportunities and experiences to learn mathematics." [more gibberish]
This so-called mathematics-teaching document finished with:
"Recognizing and responding to these important facets of equity will promote the rich conversations needed in your collaborative team to promote high-quality instruction and equitable classrooms. Use our discussion questions in your collaborative team to facilitate the conversation."
So then we decided to look into the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM). We started with their mission statement, which reads:
"NCSM envisions a professional and diverse learning community of educational leaders that ensures every student in every classroom has access to effective mathematics teachers, relevant curricula, culturally responsive pedagogy, and current technology."
One of the items contained in the mission statement was the continuing liberal theme of "equity".
"Motivate mathematics leaders to maintain a life-long commitment to provide EQUITY and access for all learners."
We had to look up "pedagogy" as it was a totally unfamiliar term. Pedagogy simply means the art, science, or profession of teaching. Digging a little further we found a description of modern pedagogy:
"Modern pedagogy has been strongly influenced by the cognitivism of Piaget, 1926, 1936/1975; the social-interactionist theories of Bruner, 1960, 1966, 1971, 1986; and the social and cultural theories of Vygotsky, 1962. These theorists have laid a foundation for pedagogy where sequential development of individual mental processes, such as recognize, recall, analyze, reflect, apply, create, understand, and evaluate, are scaffolded. Students learn as they internalize the procedures, organization, and structures encountered in social contexts as their own schema." [brainwashing]
The words that caught our eye in the above Karl Marx-inspired mission statement and the definition of modern "pedagogy" are "social interactionist theories", "social and cultural theories" , "social contexts" and "equity." The words "social" and "equity" are recurrent themes in everything we read about Common Core State Standards. These words come right out of United Nations policies, parroted by liberals and you won't find them in the U. S. Constitution.
Ladies and gentlemen, this Common Core Mathematics document for 3rd to 5th grades is not a teaching mathematics document. It is, without a doubt, a "social" and "equity" document. The emphasis is not on teaching mathematics, it is about teaching within an acceptable "social" and "equitable" environment. Who thinks up this gobbledygook?
Hidden deep within all this “mush” is covert pandering to Blacks, Latinos and the LGBTQ community who evidently have trouble keeping up, or don’t fit in well due to significant cultural differences. This “social-equity” plan is to bring everyone down to the lowest common denominator, lowering overall achievement standards. Could this be why American education ranks fourteenth out of forty countries?
It is obvious to an objective reader that public education has become socialist indoctrination, not what we used to know as reading, writing and arithmetic. If you are wondering why the kids of today lean heavily in a socialist direction, one never needs to go any farther than what they are learning in our public education system. It is no wonder that so many parents are choosing private schools for their children these days, if they can afford it.
DO YOU STILL WANT TO SEND YOUR KIDS TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS?
If you are wondering why almost the entire 4th estate (journalism) has succumbed to this socialist mantra and will do everything in its power to stifle any other ideology, they are products of public school and college socialist indoctrination. If you wonder how the Deep State got started, most government employees are graduates of our liberal colleges where greater and deeper socialist indoctrination takes place.
Older Americans over 70 know what is happening because they have a perspective that spans the major socialist shift in public education. One fairly astute old timer responded to one of our articles with this:
“I am an 80-year old farmer. I have a B.A. degree in History. I have been watching for many years America’s decline into Socialism but never dreamed in just one fraudulent election that America would be taken over by Communist style Socialists.”
“Shortly after the election and the immediate coronation by the national media of Joe Biden, I wrote a letter to my children and grandchildren that the ‘Bolsheviks will be coming for your land, your savings, your Constitution, and your Bill of Rights.’ The letter was answered with gratuitous responses that were intended to assure me that everything would be just fine because their Universities, NBC, and CBS told them so.” [The result of public education socialist indoctrination]
“The average American citizen has no idea what plans are in store for them. They have given up their constitutional consent and sovereignty for the false narrative of collective egalitarianism. Your article was greatly appreciated but I’m afraid the American individual who values freedom is a relic of the past. Our forefathers would never put up with what’s going on today in the streets, the courts, or in the halls of Congress.”
“Many argue that an election was stolen but I submit that in doing so the left has stolen our Republic. The only true America is the America in my memory as a young man. Alexis de Tocqueville warned us, ‘The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money’” Thomas Sowell has written that if Biden/Harris are elected America will have crossed a line of no return.” [Sowell could very well be right]
“My only regret is that I am now too old to do anything about it.”
Millions of American old timers feel just like this one does but they are too old to get involved, or unable to articulate their concerns in one form or another. It is up to the young ones to save liberty, but the young ones have been brainwashed in a public education system that was pre-programmed to kill a free nation in just a few generations ….. by socialist Democrats.
If there is an answer to this national dilemma, it may be contained in the truly American story of Athens, TN. The fraudulent election of 2020 is reminiscent of what occurred in Athens, TN on August 1st, 1946.

In an article we penned a few years back entitled, “Our Little Black Box Theory”, we wrote: “The fact is, a freshly born human being is nothing more than a giant sponge that absorbs everything that it hears, sees, smells, tastes, or touches in its immediate environment and all that it absorbs is, for the most part, locked into its "Little Black Box" for the rest of its life. [including everything it learns and remembers from school] The person is a slave to it, but is not aware that they are a slave, because it defines who they are. They can be nothing else.”
Essentially, it is very easy for a parent, a special interest group, or a government to literally manufacture any type of human being they want. The Chinese Communist Party has taken this one step further by manipulating the DNA molecule to create so-called “super” human beings, or in their case “super” soldiers. Babies and elementary and adolescent humans are soft and malleable and can be molded to possess certain characteristics containing the pre-determined attributes of its teachers, just like Hitler did.
The forces that are influencing our public schools are global. Just the other day we received an e-mail from “Discovery Education”, a global entity that provides alleged educational curriculum in digital format to school systems all over the world. What do their curriculums contain? Who writes their curriculums? They don’t say and we could find no sources that would tell us. Nevertheless, “Discovery Education” has a huge presence in America’s public education. Have you heard of them?
We had never heard of “Discovery Education” before and decided to investigate further. No matter where we looked, we could not find the people or the money sources behind “Discovery Education.” The e-mail we received from them was celebrating Human Rights Day. The e-mail was laced with social justice and equity, both socialist-globalist terms. The e-mail also had a section on “unlocking the power of testimony to counter hate,” a program created by the USC Shoah Foundation centered around testimony from the Holocaust.
“Discovery Education” even has videos on “Social and Emotional Skills.” One such video allegedly “equips students with the skills necessary to reduce stress and create ‘Sustainable Happiness’ by providing curriculum and standards-aligned resources.” Ever heard of the word “sustainable” before? Of course you have. It is right out of United Nations Agenda 21. Liberals love this word.
We did learn that that “Discovery Education” just purchased “Mystery Science” for $140,000,000. Where did “Discovery Education” get $140,000,000? George Soros maybe? “Mystery Science” provides digital and video science information for K-5 children.

“Democrats Have Turned
Normal and Common Sense Into Raw Sewage!”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

“Identity politics rejects the model of traditional give-and-take politics, presupposing instead that the most important thing about us is that we are white, black, male, female, straight, gay, and so on. Within the identity-politics world, we do not need to give reasons—identity is its own reason and justification. Because identity politics supposes that we are our identities, politics does not consist in the speech, argument, and persuasion of normal politics but instead, in the calculation of resource redistribution based on identity—what in Democratic parlance is called ‘social justice.’” Joshua Mitchel, professor of political theory, Georgetown University.
There are certain core attributes to any culture that allow that culture to survive, prosper and live in peace with each another. The natural “glue” of family is one of those attributes. Dissolve that “glue” and the family and a nation fall apart, as we have seen in the bowels of big cities. Democrat policies under “social justice” have driven a wedge into the “glue” of the nuclear family but they either don’t seem to realize it. or don’t care. (See: “Democrats Have And Are Tearing The Nuclear Family Asunder”)
One of the major elements of the nuclear family is the raising of children. This is a delicate task that requires basic common sense and uncommon patience. What goes into the minds of the family’s children is of vital importance to the well being of a nation. Fill their minds full of socialist mush and identity politics, which is happening in our public schools and colleges now, and you get ignorant, brainwashed advocates for failed socialism, biased journalism and millions of culturally blind Democrat voters. Fill their minds with the importance of honor, objective truth and the foundation of freedom, self-reliance and personal responsibility and you get American patriots who will preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and lead a nation into peace and prosperity.
Fill their minds with the concept that there are 64 genders in the human species when in fact there are only two biological genders, you get sexually confused, mixed up, psychologically disturbed little boys and girls. You also get stupid, alleged documentary videos on Netflix that try to convince a class of five-year olds that a four-year old boy just discovered that he was a she. Ludicrous! You also get a Netflix video called “Cuties” that exploits little girls dancing in sexual outfits and sexual poses. Who, in their right mind, comes up with this crap? Of course it is contrary to what is normal and violates the very essence of commons sense. Any parent knows this, or should know this, instinctively. Sex education is age specific. Common sense dictates that normal or deviant sex cannot be conceptualized at ages under 10 but socialist Democrats think it is a great idea so that they can pander to the LGBTQ community. This is not education. This is purposeful propaganda and indoctrination for an off-beat agenda that is best left in the privacy of the home, like so many other human biological functions. Our children are confused enough as it is.
To add to our upside down world there is the environmentalist-invented, perverted science Climate Change. (alias man-caused global warming) The socialist Democrats believe that Climate Change is an existential threat to the human species, man is causing it and the only solution is to spend trillions of dollars converting a fossil fuel-based energy source and economy to an intermittent solar and wind energy source, no matter how many jobs are lost, how much it will cost, how drastic it will change our lifestyle and the huge negatives that come with wind and solar energy. True, unaltered, peer reviewed science debunks the whole concept of Climate Change but the Democrats don’t care. They want absolute control and Climate Change is just another way to control the masses and rob them of their sustenance in a grand wealth-redistribution scheme. They plan to shove their solution down your throats anyway they can. With Biden at the helm of the sinking USS America ship, they will probably succeed. (See: “Climate”)
Now anyone with any commons sense at all knows, a country without borders is a country losing its heritage and culture and inviting drugs, terrorists, human trafficking, disease and unskilled labor into its homeland. And yet the socialist Democrats would have you believe that open borders, no immigration enforcement and sanctuary cities and states are good, sound government policy. Why do they believe this? Don’t let them try to convince you it is for altruistic or humane reasons. Their immigration policy, or lack thereof, is purposely designed to flood America with Democrat voters, pure and simple. Democrats think Americans are stupid and won’t notice their deviant ploy. But in reality, they are very close to accomplishing their goal with a President Biden in the Oval Office. Conservatives don’t have the votes. How are we to stop them? (See: “Your Conservative Vote Won’t Save America From Socialism”)
Socialist Democrats, starting as far back ad President Woodrow Wilson, created out of thin air a whole host of additional social rights accruing to American citizens. Why? To buy votes of course. As the social rights grew under successive Democrat administrations, so did the enormous price to pay for those social rights. As a result, in the intervening years since FDR first took office, the national debt has exploded exponentially to an astronomical $26 Trillion, and rising. President FDR outlined these new social rights in a speech just before he died in 1944 after being elected president for a fourth term. FDR’s second bill of rights included:
- The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation;
- The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;
- The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;
- The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;
- The right of every family to a decent home;
- The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;
- The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;
- The right to a good education.
All of these second bill of rights require government intervention in some form or another, in other words, government oversight, government enforcement and government dependency. Since FDR, President Johnson and then President Obama, those second bill of rights have been implemented by the federal government, granting government way more power than was envisioned by the Founding Fathers under a Constitutional Republic. Centralized government and Alexander Hamilton won. The power of the individual states, Thomas Jefferson, individual freedom and the people lost.
In contrast, the original bill of rights, contained in the first ten (10) Amendments to the U. S. Constitution, required only that government preserve, protect and defend those rights for the individual. The federal government has failed miserably in their sworn duty.
Since FDR and socialist Democrats have declared that health care is a fundamental right, they believe strongly that health care falls on the government to provide. In their minds, the free market system just isn’t doing the job right and thus the whole system of health care must be torn down and rebuilt under a government program euphemistically called “Medicare-For-All.” Under their plan 180,000,000 Americans are to lose their private health care insurance so that government can be the health care insurer of final resort, with all that government-run health care means. As everyone says, if you like or want government health care, just look at how health care is dispensed to our brave warriors under the Veterans Administration. Even knowing that, common sense is thrown out the window. Why do socialist Democrats promote government-run health care? Once again, it is to gain further control over the masses and garner the votes of ignorant Americans.
And let’s not forget the Coronavirus that has allowed socialist Democrats to use the pandemic to exercise dictatorial rule over the masses. Science means nothing to them, only raw political power. While their constituents squirm under the pressures of the intermittent lock downs and go belly up, the elite, ruling class sneak off to some expensive, exclusive restaurant with their wealthy friends, or fly away to that quiet destination resort by the sea, basking in the glory of their royalty.
The socialist Democrats have invented the sacrosanct super ideology under Progressivism, which should be called “Re-gressivism.” In fact, their super ideology trumps all other ideologies and the disciples of this super ideology will use whatever weapons at their disposal to silence any other ideology. They have managed to infiltrate this super ideology into the public school system and academia, government bureaucracies and journalism such that all participants in this super ideology will go forth and preach this ideology as their version of socialist utopia and don’t you dare disagree. Comply or suffer the consequences. So much for the cherished right of free choice.
Except this great super ideology of the socialist Democrats violates America’s cultural norms and free-market capitalism. It renders political debate irrelevant and flies in the face of individual freedom and unalienable rights.
None of this socialism and identity politics makes any sense, except to further the goal of Democrats to obtain absolute power in America, exploiting human weakness to do it. Most of it is the antithesis of a free society. Essentially, it perverts what is normal and renders commons sense irrelevant. But worse than that, it is destroying the core principles of our culture and our freedom. In the end it will eventually destroy our peace and prosperity. Why would we let it happen?
Thomas Jefferson wrote, “When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.” Democrat votes come out of big cities. Big city corruption leads to voter fraud as we have seen in multiple states throughout America in the 2020 election. Democrats, without honor, count the votes while excluding Republican observers, an open invitation to cheat.
Perhaps Founder John Adams predicted it when he said: “One day the masses will grow less steady, spirited and virtuous, the seekers more numerous and more corrupt, and every day increases the circles of their dependents and expectants, until virtue, integrity, public spirit, simplicity and frugality become the objects of ridicule and scorn, and vanity, luxury, foppery, selfishness, meanness, and downright venality swallow up the whole of society." How prophetic he was.
As the children in the back seat of the car say while on a road trip, “Are we there yet?” Dad says from the front seat, “not quite, but were close.”

“Your Peaceful Vote Won’t Save America From Socialism!”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the [socialist Democrat city] folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright [senile, corrupt, socialist] moron." - Henry Louis Mencken, American journalist, essayist, satirist, cultural critic, (1880 - 1956)
SOCIALISM: “Socialism is the doctrine that man has no right to exist for his own sake, that his life and his work do not belong to him, but belong to society, that the only justification of his existence is his service to society, and that society may dispose of him in any way it pleases for the sake of whatever it deems to be its own tribal, collective good. The essential characteristic of socialism is the denial of individual property rights; under socialism, the right to property (which is the right of use and disposal) is vested in “society as a whole,” i.e., in the collective, with production and distribution controlled by the state, i.e., by the government. The results have been a terrifying failure—terrifying, that is, if one’s motive is men’s welfare. Instead of prosperity, socialism has brought economic paralysis and/or collapse to every country that tried it. The degree of socialization has been the degree of disaster.” Ayn Rand, Russian-American writer and philosopher
How are the free people of America going to stop the onslaught of socialism, radical environmentalism and the move towards one-world government? If the brainwashed socialists and the radical environmentalists have the majority vote, or if they cheat to make it appear that they have the majority vote, your conservative vote can’t override their majority vote and their radical agenda prevails. Unless, the judicial system can expose the cheating and correct the vote, nothing will change. If those who count the vote are not honorable, the cheating will go on without interruption and the judicial system will be unable to expose or stop it. At that point all integrity in the American voting system will have been lost and the “good faith and credit” of the American government will have evaporated. In such event the socialist colluders and racketeers will rule.
Now that America has been fully immersed in socialism, radical environmentalism and the one-world-order for five score and ten, is there any hope of undoing what has been done, when so many American citizens have forsaken freedom and liberty in exchange for the phantom veil of government-provided security and comfort? How can we turn back the clock to a time when Americans were self-reliant instead of dependent? How do we return to a time when we took responsibility for our actions instead of being excused for them because someone convinced us that we are victims of society's ills? What makes us think we can re-invent the past when the rule of law meant something; or when there were individuals with individual rights; or the justice system administered true justice? Why did we let America morph into a collective where only the collective has rights? That IS socialism!
There was a time when we looked to our selves to get out of a scrape, instead of holding our outstretched hands to a nanny government for rescue and salvation. Our conservative vote is in the minority, subjugated to the will of the now, hopelessly insane majority.
How can we unravel the tangled web of razor wire that is our legal and unjust justice system? How do we convince lawmakers that what they are doing is sapping the very strength and vitality out of our people by being everything for them and regulating every aspect of their lives, like limiting Thanksgiving and Christmas because of the Coronavirus?
How do we round up and send 13 to 20 million illegal aliens back across the border that they have purposely violated because government and special interests created multiple magnets for them to come here in the first place? How do we stop the hemorrhaging of our tax dollars to an ever-rising crisis that is illegal immigration? The new, feckless, socialist president-elect wants to grant them all amnesty and give them free health care. (See: "Overrun and Overwhelmed by Illegal Aliens and Sanctuary Cities")
How do we repeal the millions of environmental laws that have made property rights meaningless and have raised the price of everything by several orders of magnitude? A Biden Administration will only exponentially increase those environmental laws through the Green New Deal and efforts to reduce the alleged results of the fraud of Climate Change using the bureaucratic, rule-making power of the Environmental Protection Agency? He won’t need the Congress to do that. (See: “Environmentalism – Building Block of Global Government”)
Now that government has taken over our health care, what is to stop them from taking control of our money, our land, our water, our food, our cars, our gas, our roads and our electricity? Nothing! They already have!
Did your conservative vote stop all these erosions of our rights under the Constitution? Of course not! Did 30 years of Rush Limbaugh spouting the conservative mantra on radio change anything? Unfortunately not! Progressivism just kept growing and getting stronger and stronger.
It took 156 years from 1620 to 1776 for the colonials to have enough of England and King George III to jump-start their clock forward to freedom and they paid an incalculable price, the greatest price and the greatest sacrifice of all, the giving of one's life for liberty. Will it take another 156 years for Americans to finally see the light and commit themselves to the fight for freedom? Perhaps in 2050 we will be closer to an answer. Or will socialism, radical environmentalism and one-world government be fully entrenched in American life? Right now there is nothing in the way to stop it, short of civil war.
Ladies and gentlemen, all the talk, all the rhetoric and all the articles in the world will not turn back the clock to the principles upon which America was founded. Either the believers and fighters in the defense of freedom and liberty coalesce as one on a grand scale, or the hands of the American clock will click ever onward towards abject socialism, radical environmentalism and the one world order. The clock's pendulum has swung to the left for over 100 years. Due to the vote of the socialist Democrat majority, the Pendulum of our clock swings ever farther towards personal enslavement, as freedom smiles from a distance and then fades into a dim memory of all things past.
Instead, what has been created is a huge mass (tens of millions) of bought off weak Americans, miscreants, freeloaders, illegal aliens and criminals, literally sucking the economic life out of productive Americans, aided and abetted by the federal government, riding a white horse called Robin Hood, with a saddle named Progressive and reins and bridle called Liberal.
Millions of blacks have been bought off. Latinos have been bought off. Women have been bought off. The LGBTQ community has been bought off. Uneducated and many educated whites have been bought off. Illegal aliens are being bought off. Union members have been bought off. The seniors have been bought off. Food stamp recipients have been bought off. The environmentalists have been bought off. Academia has been bought off. Wall Street has been bought off. The news media has been bought off. Government employees have been bought off. They have all been bought off with your tax money to the tune of trillions of wasted dollars, all for the purpose of one political party maintaining perpetual power by a majority of bought-off voters. Being bought off has become institutionalized in America and it is totally and unequivocally unconstitutional.
All these bought off voters have their teeth firmly embedded in your hide and their hands deep in your wallets. They have a government-mandated contract on your earnings, enforced at the point of a gun, pointed at your head. You are their slave by the simple operation of a plurality of socialist Democrat voters.
We guarantee you that this was not an accident, nor was the Federal Reserve, the IRS, social security, the New Deal, the Great Society, Medicare, Medicaid, 80 welfare programs, Obama Care and maybe even Medicare-For-All if Democrats take total control of government. This was and is all part of a long-hatched plan by the Progressives over a span of 100 plus years, to be the only viable political party in America. Its’ sad to say but the conservative party, in reality, has no chance to overcome the power of the majority of bought off voters, if they insist on sticking to conservative principles.
The conservative party, just as anxious to grab the reins of power, dumps its principles of liberty to pander to the bought-off voters in order to remain even remotely viable. By their actions they just have become another sub-chapter of the Democrat party, only not quite as bad. As a result, each year, the number of bought off voters rises as they jump on the government-enforced, Robin Hood gravy train, aided and abetted by both political parties.
A country that rose to such riches and power on the foundation of freedom and capitalism has now become weak, less powerful, rudderless and essentially an impotent, divided nation that fights with each other.
But in 2020 we are faced with one of two devastating dilemmas. If Trump fails to reverse the election results in the courts, Americans are faced with a Joe Biden socialist presidency. It gets even worse if the Democrats take control of the Senate. In that event, nothing will stop the Democrats from pushing through their socialist and radical environmental agenda.
However, if Trump does prevail in reversing the election results, Americans will be faced with the equivalent of “Rome is Burning.” The socialist Democrats, Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA will take to the streets all over America, in riots, burning and looting the likes of which we haven’t seen since the civil war. Trump will be forced to implement the Insurrection Act to quell the violence and restore civil order.
Under the current circumstances of a socialist Democrat big-city voter majority, unfortunately …..
“Your Peaceful Vote Won’t Save America From Socialism”
….. even if, by some twist of fate, Trump does win re-election. There are simply more Americans that want to be controlled by and dependent on government than there are those that wish to preserve freedom and that dependent big-city class and their majority vote are growing, literally by the day.

SOCIALISM: “Socialism is the doctrine that man has no right to exist for his own sake, that his life and his work do not belong to him, but belong to society, that the only justification of his existence is his service to society, and that society may dispose of him in any way it pleases for the sake of whatever it deems to be its own tribal, collective good. The essential characteristic of socialism is the denial of individual property rights; under socialism, the right to property (which is the right of use and disposal) is vested in “society as a whole,” i.e., in the collective, with production and distribution controlled by the state, i.e., by the government. The results have been a terrifying failure—terrifying, that is, if one’s motive is men’s welfare. Instead of prosperity, socialism has brought economic paralysis and/or collapse to every country that tried it. The degree of socialization has been the degree of disaster.” Ayn Rand, Russian-American writer and philosopher
How are the free people of America going to stop the onslaught of socialism, radical environmentalism and the move towards one-world government? If the brainwashed socialists and the radical environmentalists have the majority vote, or if they cheat to make it appear that they have the majority vote, your conservative vote can’t override their majority vote and their radical agenda prevails. Unless, the judicial system can expose the cheating and correct the vote, nothing will change. If those who count the vote are not honorable, the cheating will go on without interruption and the judicial system will be unable to expose or stop it. At that point all integrity in the American voting system will have been lost and the “good faith and credit” of the American government will have evaporated. In such event the socialist colluders and racketeers will rule.
Now that America has been fully immersed in socialism, radical environmentalism and the one-world-order for five score and ten, is there any hope of undoing what has been done, when so many American citizens have forsaken freedom and liberty in exchange for the phantom veil of government-provided security and comfort? How can we turn back the clock to a time when Americans were self-reliant instead of dependent? How do we return to a time when we took responsibility for our actions instead of being excused for them because someone convinced us that we are victims of society's ills? What makes us think we can re-invent the past when the rule of law meant something; or when there were individuals with individual rights; or the justice system administered true justice? Why did we let America morph into a collective where only the collective has rights? That IS socialism!
There was a time when we looked to our selves to get out of a scrape, instead of holding our outstretched hands to a nanny government for rescue and salvation. Our conservative vote is in the minority, subjugated to the will of the now, hopelessly insane majority.
How can we unravel the tangled web of razor wire that is our legal and unjust justice system? How do we convince lawmakers that what they are doing is sapping the very strength and vitality out of our people by being everything for them and regulating every aspect of their lives, like limiting Thanksgiving and Christmas because of the Coronavirus?
How do we round up and send 13 to 20 million illegal aliens back across the border that they have purposely violated because government and special interests created multiple magnets for them to come here in the first place? How do we stop the hemorrhaging of our tax dollars to an ever-rising crisis that is illegal immigration? The new, feckless, socialist president-elect wants to grant them all amnesty and give them free health care. (See: "Overrun and Overwhelmed by Illegal Aliens and Sanctuary Cities")
How do we repeal the millions of environmental laws that have made property rights meaningless and have raised the price of everything by several orders of magnitude? A Biden Administration will only exponentially increase those environmental laws through the Green New Deal and efforts to reduce the alleged results of the fraud of Climate Change using the bureaucratic, rule-making power of the Environmental Protection Agency? He won’t need the Congress to do that. (See: “Environmentalism – Building Block of Global Government”)

"Unity Joe? Hell No!
Obstruction, Defiance, Resistance, You Bet!”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

“Republicans and Democrats are engaging in cynical, destructive combat and have for at least a Century. Until the Democrats retreat from their headlong advance into Progressive socialism, radical environmentalism and their attempts to destroy the foundation of individual freedom along with the Constitution itself, the combat will continue unabated. There will be no unity. There will only be division, vitriol, contempt, hostility, acrimony, disdain and quite possibly, civil war. Joe Biden’s call for unity is not only hypocritical, it is a hollow attempt at reconciliation after waging a relentless, 4-year coup d’etat on a duly elected president of the United States!” Ron Ewart
Joe says “… it is time to put away the harsh rhetoric, to lower the temperature, to see each other again, to listen to each other again. To make progress we must stop treating our opponents as our enemy. We are not enemies, we’re Americans.”
Are we really Americans Joe, or are we just your playthings and slaves?
First, Joe’s idea of progress is laid out in the Democratic Party platform and by statements of policy made by Democrats during the presidential campaign of 2020. The Democrat socialist platform and those statements of policy are the antithesis of a free America. They are the dynamite to be used to blow up the principles of individual freedom laid down by our Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence and the U. S. Constitution.
Second, Joe and the Democrat Party set in motion, from the day that Donald Trump walked down the escalator in the Trump Tower on June 16, 2015, a plan to destroy his candidacy and if he won, his presidency. For over five years they executed this plan with precision and determination from the highest levels of the law enforcement and intelligence bureaucracy and the Congress. No amount of money spent was too much to destroy President Trump. Over a third of the U. S. House members refused to attend his inauguration. Within a day of his inauguration they then openly declared that they would impeach him. For the next four years they set about to cast him as a puppet of Russia’s Vladimir Putin. They tried to impeach him over a telephone call to the newly elected President of Ukraine. The Democrats to this day are still spouting the debunked Russia collusion fiction based on a fake Russian manufactured dossier, paid for by presidential candidate, Democrat Hillary Clinton, a corrupt, power hungry witch. Now that was Russian collusion.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden, his brother and son Hunter, while Joe was Vice president, set about to fleece as much money as they could out of foreign banks, foreign corporations and petty oligarchs in an influence peddling scheme. Their misdeeds and possible criminal activity were and are to this day, totally ignored by the press and apparently by federal law enforcement.
The Democrats have managed to steal President Trump’s re-election using a massive mail-in ballot scheme, voter fraud, tampered voting machines and voting irregularities to do it.
How can this 2020 election between Biden and Trump be free, fair and accurate when all of social media, most of the news media, academia, the Establishment, the Deep State and God knows who else, were stumping for Biden, while censoring any messages from the Trump side. And they are now calling for UNITY! Not hardly Joe! Not hardly!
Ladies and gentlemen, only you own your life, your property, your thoughts and your labor and all is sovereign to that which is you. That is nature’s law. You are not a pawn that can be battered about at someone else's will, or a whim, or for entertainment, or for the pure exercise of absolute power. You are not a slave to the collective, or the elite and you owe nothing to humanity other than which you choose to give, as a free spirit, endowed with free choice. Your only responsibility is to take care of yourself and those in your charge and to treat others with the same respect and dignity, as you desire to be treated.
You were born a sovereign in the care of your parents. Nature created you, not the state. No one owns your body or your soul. Not a person, not a group and certainly not a government or a nation because neither of these are the cause of your existence. Your allegiance to that nation should be your voluntary choice, not by some government decree, mandate, or blind national loyalty.
Although you are part of a nation, by nature you are a free spirit and that free spirit belongs to you and you alone. The nation of which you are a part does not own you and you only owe that nation what you choose to give freely and of your own volition. You only owe allegiance to that nation when it reflects your values. We ask you? Does the government today reflect your values? They do if you are a socialist Democrat.
Most of you choose to live by the code of honor, integrity and justice. When that nation of which you are a part ceases to be honorable and ceases to defend individual liberty, you no longer owe allegiance to it and you should resist that nation with all your heart and soul because that nation no longer shares your values and has destroyed the trust of the people and broken the bonds on its power. When Joe Biden and the socialist Democrats no longer share the values of individual freedom and unalienable rights, unity is out of the question.
You choose to live in peace until such time that your local environment or the government will not allow you to live in peace. You have determined that government will no longer allow you to live in peace and you now must fight government with all the determination you can muster. You didn’t choose the fight. Government, special interests and social Democrats forced it upon you.
You find that the American government, at every level, has shattered the trust of the people with malice. They have done it in pursuit of absolute power over the masses under a system of government that is foreign to the principles of freedom. Government has become corrupted by special interests and international ambitions. It has abused its power and no longer represents the true interests of the once-free American people in a sovereign land.
Under the socialist Democrats, government has become almost a virtually lawless heavily armed police force and has ceased to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and the individual freedom of its citizens as is its fundamental duty and obligation. You further find that the solemn oaths to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, taken by those that represent you in government, at every level, are hollow and without substance. These are harsh allegations, but those concerned individuals who have watched the steady degradation of America over the last 100 years, know the charges are true. America has surrendered to corruption, collusion, the lust for money, political power, world government and debauchery.
We should be committed to preserve our rights through fighting and combat if necessary, by resisting every effort by government to subjugate us by law, or by force of arms. Unity with those that are working diligently to enslave us is blind capitulation.
If you see no reason to resist government, one day you will find yourself in handcuffs being led away to jail or an internment camp and you will be wondering why. Or, your kids will be taken away from you for some nefarious reason. Or the social media and news media will manipulate your every thought or action. But then they are already doing it now. Or, you will be forced to have an identity RFID chip implanted under your skin, or in your ear lobe, or a number tattooed on your arm as Hitler did in the days of World War 2. OR, one day you will wake up to find that you are being forced to stay in your home, wear a mask, take a vaccine, or be enslaved under Medicare-For-All. One day you will find that government is controlled entirely by one party and you are slaves of that control, not free men and women.
Unity Joe? Not on your life! Instead, in the words of Herman Melville in Moby Dick, “… to the last I grapple with thee; from Hell’s heart I stab at thee: for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee!”
We have issued a declaration entitled, ”We Shall Comply No More Forever With This Nation Until?”
We make this declaration with a heavy heart because America is a great nation and it is sad to see her being torn asunder by evil and divisive forces.
The fact is, most Americans are good people who just want to live their lives in peace without government interference. In spite of all of our individual and collective faults, there is a great good that exists in a very large number of us. That good is personified in a wide range of human traits and behavior including private and public achievements, sacrifice, industry, creativity, empathy, generosity, spontaneous volunteerism and spirit, either as individuals, or as a society. Unfortunately, due to the DISTORTED WINDOW through which we view our information, that great good in us seems to be eclipsed by an over-zealous emphasis on that which appears to be bad within us.
In the end, we must never lose sight of the fact that, the reason we as Americans are productive, creative, ingenuous, imaginative, reasonably happy and oh so generous, is because we are FREE. We are FREE because of our Constitution. That freedom opens the door to our goodness and our prosperity. The reason we are FREE is because we have laid down a system of government where individuals have un-alienable, natural and God-given rights, due process of law and where the government swears on solemn oath to preserve, protect and defend those rights. But it is the people's duty to hold the government to their oath so that freedom never flies away in the night, on the wings of apathy, indifference, ignorance, or blind stupidity.
Donald Trump has a national view of America. All of his actions were designed to help America and the American people. Joe Biden has a global view for America. His actions will reflect that global view. He cannot be allowed to implement his vision. Every time he appears on TV or in person, 72,000,000 Americans should turn him off, tune him out, change the channel, or walk out of the room. Every time he tries to force his anti-American policies down the throats of Americans, 72,000,000 Trump voters, in unison, should deliver an immediate, defiant hue and cry the likes of which has never been heard before in America. They should relentlessly hit the government phones, faxes and e-mail addresses against a single Biden issue, overwhelming government systems. Short of that, nothing else will stop Biden and the socialist Democrat’s destruction of a free America.

In the end, we must never lose sight of the fact that, the reason we as Americans are productive, creative, ingenuous, imaginative, reasonably happy and oh so generous, is because we are FREE. We are FREE because of our Constitution. That freedom opens the door to our goodness and our prosperity. The reason we are FREE is because we have laid down a system of government where individuals have un-alienable, natural and God-given rights, due process of law and where the government swears on solemn oath to preserve, protect and defend those rights. But it is the people's duty to hold the government to their oath so that freedom never flies away in the night, on the wings of apathy, indifference, ignorance, or blind stupidity.
Donald Trump has a national view of America. All of his actions were designed to help America and the American people. Joe Biden has a global view for America. His actions will reflect that global view. He cannot be allowed to implement his vision. Every time he appears on TV or in person, 72,000,000 Americans should turn him off, tune him out, change the channel, or walk out of the room. Every time he tries to force his anti-American policies down the throats of Americans, 72,000,000 Trump voters, in unison, should deliver an immediate, defiant hue and cry the likes of which has never been heard before in America. They should relentlessly hit the government phones, faxes and e-mail addresses against a single Biden issue, overwhelming government systems. Short of that, nothing else will stop Biden and the socialist Democrat’s destruction of a free America.

"Into The Dark Pages Of Hell With A Biden Presidency”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.
© Copyright Sunday, November 8, 2020 - All Rights Reserved
“You know, there’s a uh, during World War II, uh, you know, where Roosevelt came up with a thing uh, that uh, you know, was totally different than a, than the, the, it’s called, he called it the, you know, the World War II, he had the war – the War Production Board.” The unintelligible ramblings of the next President of the United States, Joe Biden
As we wrote this, the likelihood that Joe Biden will become president of the United States is pretty much a foregone conclusion. The obstacles against Trump appear to be insurmountable, even with court cases and re-counts. The evidence of voter fraud may be the worst we have seen in the history of the Republic but does it amount to enough votes to declare Trump the winner? It isn’t likely. The forces and the billions of dollars working to elect Joe Biden and defeat Donald Trump were and are formidable and international in scope. Trump was up against overwhelming obstacles that even he couldn’t see.
All that aside, Joe Biden will set about once again to “fundamentally transform” America into his distorted and unconstitutional image of what the Socialist Republic of America should be. The only saving grace will be the Republicans holding onto the Senat.
Even though Wall Street gurus are saying that divided government is a good thing for the markets and the economy, that position overlooks the damage that Biden can do with Executive Orders and appointments to the various cabinet secretaries.
Trump decreased both taxes and regulations and the result was a booming economy. In order to implement the Agenda 21, Green New Deal and Climate Change policies without having to go through Congress, Biden will reverse that trend and there will be an explosion of higher taxes and bureaucratic rules that will dramatically change the face of America, from rural communities to big cities. Biden will appoint Progressive radicals to an alphabet soup of federal agencies. From the EPA, to HUD, to HHS, to DOE, to DOJ, to FBI, to USDA, to NSA, to CIA, to DOD, etc. the directors of these agencies will be drawn from a register of socialists and environmentalists, many from the over-educated, liberal academic community, or from Obama’s czars.
Three areas in which regulations will grow the most will be from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Health and Human Services and the Department of Energy (DOE). Any Biden appointee to the EPA will come with an overriding environmental bias and the regulations emanating from that bias will be draconian. Rural landowners will be a singular target of the new EPA rules. After all, the Green New Deal calls for the phasing out of fossil fuels and cattle. Just try running a farm without fossil fuels. Under a Biden presidency, landowners will need our powerful, legally intimidating No Trespassing signs even more than they do now. (See: HERE and HERE)
Health and Human Services will expand its socialist role with new housing rules to implement so-called “fair housing” and “anti-discrimination” policies. The suburbs will be hit by these new rules the worst. Densities will increase, more high-occupancy affordable housing will be added, single-family homes will be zoned out of existence and racial quotas will be strictly enforced. Pretty soon the suburbs will look just like the cores of crime-ridden inner cities. White flight will be replaced by a multi-cultural kaleidoscope of different colors and races, forced upon the people by government in the name of racial equality. Eventually, those that can will flee the suburbs.
Biden’s Department of Energy (DOE) will immediately set out to phase out fossil fuels, limit or eliminate fracking and work to transform America’s energy demands to wind and solar energy, no matter the millions of lost jobs or the cost to the American taxpayer to subsidized the effort. Neither nuclear energy, nor hydroelectric power will be in those efforts. In fact, initiatives to demolish dams will be ongoing, to placate environmentalists and Indian tribes.
On immigration, Biden will move quickly to undo Trump’s positive initiatives to control illegal immigration at our borders. He intends to re-instate catch and release, putting hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens into our society with no means of support other than jobs they will take away from legal Americans and social benefits paid for by the American taxpayer. He has threatened to tear down the Trump border wall and end the emergency declaration that allowed Trump to take funds from the military budget to build the wall. Biden will stop all deportations from the day he takes office. On Biden’s website he states that he will “Marshal federal resources, through the establishment of the Task Force for New Americans (illegal aliens) to support community efforts to welcome immigrants.” Biden also intends to create a system that will grant legal status and a path to citizenship (amnesty) to all illegal aliens now living in America and those that will invade our country in the future. All of these efforts by Biden will cause another flood of illegal aliens to cross our borders and get on the American-funded gravy train. Many of those illegal aliens will transport drugs, human trafficking, terror, embedded ignorance and disease to American shores. But they will also bring a huge voting block to the Democrat Party.
Biden will be chomping at the bit to re-join the “Paris Climate Agreement” and suck trillions of dollars out of American taxpayers to pay for a climate fraud (see: “Climate”) and to re-distribute America’s wealth to third world countries.
The next thing Biden will do is to re-start negotiations with Iran to re-instate the failed Obama Administration’s Iran Nuclear Deal, (JCPOA). Trump withdrew from the deal because Iran wasn’t living up to its agreement and it was still sponsoring terror throughout Europe, Africa and the Middle East using the $150 Billion ($400 Million of it in cash) Obama handed over to Iran’s Ayatollahs as part of the JCPOA. Biden can do this unilaterally while thumbing his nose at Congress and the American people.
Trump brokered historic breakthroughs in Middle East peace with normalized relations established between Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Sudan and Israel. More normalizations would have followed if Trump won a second term. Will Biden continue this important peace initiative in the Arab world, or will he screw it up by cutting deals with Iran? Will he inflame the already tense situation between Israel and the Palestinians? Israel can’t be too happy with a Biden presidency.
Biden will attempt to nationalize the American health care system in what Democrats call Medicare-For-All. He may also try to repeal the Electoral College, repeal the Senate filibuster rule and add Washington DC and Puerto Rico as the 51st and 52nd states with the sole goal of packing the U. S. Senate such that it becomes an unbeatable, single party, Democratic Chamber of Congress. Fortunately, as long as the Senate remains in Republican control, none of these initiatives can be passed.
It is quite likely that Biden will remove the tariffs on foreign countries, including China. Since he is obviously compromised by his private dealings with powerful Chinese companies, directly connected to the Chinese Communist Party, his demeanor towards China will be subdued and conciliatory, bordering on appeasement. China will be free to engage in its military and economic expansion, free of any U. S. restraints, along with sucking more jobs away from American workers.
Biden’s relationships with our foreign friends will be to back peddle Trump’s hard stance. NATO countries will be able to relax their military and self-defense contributions to NATO and re-nig on their commitments to the EU. European countries will be free to cozy up to Russia for their much-needed energy requirements, leaving them vulnerable to Russian demands and weakening the military influence of NATO.
Biden will be backed up in his presidency by the news media, academia, public school educators, the United Nations, the European Union, Wall Street, multi-national corporations, unions, social media, the political establishment and the deep state, a force so formidable it will become insurmountable. All of these entities were aligned against Trump. He didn’t stand a chance.
Nevertheless, only a fool would believe that Joe Biden will handle the Cornoavirus any better than President Trump. If the handling of the H1N1 Flu as handled by President Obama and Vice President Biden is any indication, chances are Biden will handle the Coronavirus even worse. Biden’s advisor for the Coronavirus is the idiot Ezekial Emanuel, chief architect of Obama Care.
Conservative voices will become irrelevant, or heavily censored. Within a decade, we predict that one-party rule will have enveloped America in the name of Progressivism and socialism. Big cities will rule America. (See: “Big Cities”) Conservative thought, ideas and ideology, along with individual freedom, unalienable rights and the U. S. Constitution will become a short entry in a dusty old history book under the heading of “Failed Republics”. Most of the thirteen colonies that gave birth to freedom, have long since succumbed to socialism.
America’s Constitutional Republic will become officially dead, to be replaced by a government model that can only end in civil war or revolution, as all other socialist countries have ended. But the one thing that the socialists will want is the conservative’s money in the form of usurious taxes in order to pay for all of their socialist and environmental mandates. Comply or else!
It only took a little over a Century to kill the last great hope for planet earth. The people of earth will pay a steep price to regain their freedom ….. if ever! We could have stopped it peacefully. Now there appears to be no other alternative than all out war.
A marine, fresh from the war in the Middle East, summed it up this way:
“To everyone instigating a possible civil war from all sides, let me give you a little bit of advice. Many of us served and fought in the wars. When our time was done, we came back to the USA to start over and live in peace. It wasn’t us that kneeled on the neck of a man until he died. It wasn’t us to retaliate by kneeling on the neck of a toddler saying BLM now.”
“You see, war is Hell. Millions of you do not quite grasp this concept. We have been to Hell, lived in Hell, climbed out of Hell, and don’t want to go back to Hell. If you keep trampling on the peace we fought for, earned and loved, then when the first shotz get fired, you will force us back to Hell; and we will show you the brutal realities of Hell. Y’all better work this “sh…t” out before we do, because I guarantee that none of you are ready for this.”
Joe Biden, if elected, is going to take America into the depths of Hell and if anyone wants to get out of that Hell, they either better peacefully change the radical, insane mindset that has taken over ignorant Democrat Americans, or be prepared to enter the Hell this marine is talking about. If you don’t confront the bully, the bully owns you and right now every American is an owned slave of the socialist, Progressive establishment bully.
It defies credibility that 75,000,000 supposedly-intelligent Americans voted for this hopelessly corrupt, over-the-hill, empty shell of a man, do-nothing politician whose only claim to fame is getting he and his family filthy rich off of an influence peddling scheme with world oligarchs and criminals. There is just no accounting for people’s stupidity, ignorance and naiveté. Blind, deaf and dumb come to mind. If these socialist Democrats control America’s destiny, move over Venezuela. (See: “What Is In The Muddled Mind of the Democrat Voter?”
When the bumbling idiot comes on TV, the TV goes off, or the channel gets changed. God help the USA!

"What Is In The Muddled Mind of the Democrat Voter?”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.
© Copyright Sunday, October 25, 2020 - All Rights Reserved
“The hope and change the Democrats have in mind is nothing more than a retread of the failed and discredited socialist policies that have been the enemy of freedom for centuries, all over the world. I fear America is teetering towards [socialism and eventually] tyranny.” Jim DeMint, U. S. Senator - Heritage Foundation President
At this point and possibly even several days after the election, no one really knows who is going to win the presidency in 2020, unless of course it is a landslide for one of the candidates. Like 2016, the race is too close to call. Election headquarters in several states could be counting ballots for many days, if not weeks, or even months because of several states changing over to mail-in ballots. The uncertainty of the election triggers deep anxiety in millions of Americans and brings unsettled volatility to the markets. National turmoil is the rule of the day, which could trigger more violence and riots.
But let’s just say for argument’s sake that Biden has won. What motive do the Democrat voters have for voting for Joe Biden and down ballot Democrat candidates? We’re going to have our moderator, “Echoes From The Past”, ask a typical Democrat why he voted as he did.
Echoes From the Past: “Why did you vote for all the Democrat candidates on the ballot?”
Democrat Voter: “Because I’m a Democrat. I’ve always been a Democrat and I’ll go on being a Democrat.”
Echoes: “Why are you a Democrat?”
Voter: “Because my father and mother are Democrats. My grandfather and grandmother were Democrats and as far as I know, all my relatives are Democrats.” (See: “Little Black Box Theory”)
Echoes:” Why did you vote for Joe Biden for president given that it has been proven that he is openly corrupt and ten cards short of a full deck?”
Voter: “Because he is a Democrat.”
Echoes: “Do you have any idea what federal policies Joe Biden and the Democrats are proposing to fundamentally change America? Are you aware that Biden wants to significantly raise your taxes? Doesn’t it bother you that he is hopelessly corrupt?”
Voter: “I know some of those policies but not all the ones that are in the Democrat platform. Biden has promised that any new taxes will only be raised on the rich. I’m not rich. And as far as Joe being corrupt, that is just Russian misinformation, according to all the news outlets.”
Echoes: “Do you agree with the policies that you do know and want the Democrats to implement those policies if Biden becomes president, like raising taxes?”
Voter: “Absolutely! The Democrats wouldn’t propose those policies unless they were good for America. Would they?”
Echoes: “Unfortunately, that is naïve on your part. The Democrats are also proposing the Green New Deal. Are you aware of what is in the Green New Deal?”
Voter: “Well sort of. I’m not familiar with all of the details.”
Echoes: “Are you aware that the Green New Deal calls for the elimination of all fossil fuels and that fossil fuels are to be replaced with wind and solar power. In fact the Green New Deal is much more than eliminating fossil fuels. It also has plans to address Climate Change and economic inequality. You should check it out. Nevertheless, implementing the Green New Deal will cost millions of jobs in the fossil fuel sector. Is your job safe? Are you aware of why the Democrats want to eliminate fossil fuels?”
Voter: “Well yes, but I don’t really know what the impact will be to eliminate fossil fuels. I do know that they want to eliminate fossil fuels to save the planet from man-caused global warming.” (See: “Back To the Future”)
Echoes: “Are you aware that over 80% of our energy comes from fossil fuels and that wind and solar cannot replace that 80%, without massive taxpayer subsidies in the trillions and millions of acres of land (an estimated 13.6 million acres or 20 Rhode Islands) being gobbled up for wind and solar? The impact of the Green New Deal will be devastating on the economy and people’s lives. Rolling black outs and brown outs will be common, just like California is now.
Are you aware that man-caused global warming is a fraud and that it was invented to enslave all the peoples of the earth by the socialist Democrats and the national and international socialist oligarchs and aristocrats?” (See: “Climate”)
Voter: “No, I can’t believe that. Climate change was taught to us in grade school, middle school, high school and college. Why would they teach it if it was a fraud?”
Echoes: “Because Democrats, the oligarchs and the aristocrats want to control you and then take your money and spread it around the planet. Climate Change is Democrat propaganda, mostly for the purpose of wealth re-distribution! It is naïve to think otherwise. They want everyone to be equal, live in small houses or apartments, get out of their cars and take mass transit, or their bicycle, or walk to work and willing comply, without question, with all the edicts and orders issued by the Democrats, oligarchs and aristocrats like good little compliant robots. You know, like forcing you to stay in your home, or keeping your mask on while eating. Ludicrous! They want to confiscate the wealth of the rich and spread it around to other countries, using the police power of the government to do it.”
Voter: “How do I know that you are telling me the truth?”
Echoes: “Because the Democrats, oligarchs and aristocrats, including Biden and Harris, have come out and openly said what they are going to do and their national and international policies mandate it. Take a look at the United Nations Agenda 21 policies. Read the manifestoes from the United Nations. Read the Democratic Party platform. Read all the socialist and environmental laws, local, state and federal. Then you will get an idea of just how draconian and freedom-robbing are their policies. They don’t even believe that private citizens should be allowed to own property, in direct conflict with the U. S. Constitution. Democrats don’t want you to be free. They want you in chains and they are using public school and college brainwashing to achieve compliancy.”
Voter: “That sounds ominous. But I find it hard to believe.”
Echoes: “Well you are hearing it now, probably for the first time because you are a Democrat and don’t listen to the facts. You are the victim of party blindness.
“Have you paid any attention to what else your Democrat friends want to do? Are you aware for instance that the Democrats want to add more justices to the Supreme Court, do away with the Senate filibuster rule and make Washington DC and Puerto Rico the 51st and 52nd states to cement their permanent control over Congress and set in stone one-party rule? Are you aware that the Supreme Court is a judicial body, not a legislative body, like what the Democrats want it to be? The high court has had nine justices for 151 years and has worked well for those 151 years? Did you know that the filibuster rule protects Americans from having radical laws and legislation being shoved down their throats by rogue legislators or parties? Do you know why Democrats want to do this?”
Voter: “Well wouldn’t those be good things to do? It would give more control and power to Democrats.”
Echoes: “So you think one-party rule is a good thing? One-party rule is a country ruled by an oligarchy of arrogant men and women, controlling 100% of the means of production, just one step removed from a dictatorship. Do you want to live under a dictatorship?”
Voter: “No! Of course not! But the Democrats aren’t advocating for a dictatorship!”
Echoes: “Are you sure? But let’s move on. Are you aware that Democrats want to open our borders to anyone that wants to come to America? They also want to stop all deportations and dismantle the immigration enforcement division known as ICE? Do you know they also want to give free health care and other taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal aliens? Do you have any idea how much this would cost over and above what we are already paying for illegal aliens? Americans are forking over $113 Billion per year in taxes now to support illegal aliens. (Source: Cato Institute) Can you image what that cost would be if Americans have to pay for the health care of illegal aliens? Do you know that the cost comes right out of your pocket in the form of the taxes you pay? Do you know why Democrats want to do this? Because Democrats want more future Democrat voters and they know illegal aliens will give it to them. Democrats know that illegal aliens come from socialist countries and the ignorant ones (most of them are ignorant) will vote Democrat every time. The Democrat’s goal is to finally take over America as the only party in power. Are you OK with this?”
Voter: “Well why not? I’m a Democrat. But I sure don’t like paying for illegal aliens. I don’t make that much money.”
Echoes: “While we are at it, are you aware that your Democrat friends want to take your private health insurance away from you and replace it with what Democrats call Medicare-For-All? Do you know what Medicare-For-All means? It means that a government bureaucracy runs all health care in America and can set what they will cover and charge whatever price they want to charge. It is a monopoly. They can determine what health care you get or whether you get any health care at all. The wait times under Medicare-For-All could be life threatening. The government can ration health care if there isn’t enough tax money, or sufficient doctors, nurses, hospitals and equipment to cover medical care. They can deny health care because you are too old because it doesn’t make economic sense (to them) to put money into a person at the end of their life. Old people will be the first to suffer.”
“Do you remember what happened with Obama Care? The Democrats said you could keep your doctor and your health care plan and your costs would go down by $2,500 per year. The Democrats purposely lied to get the legislation passed. Obama Care was the foot in the door to get Medicare-For-All (single-payer health care) passed. Under Obama Care, millions of Americans lost their doctor and their health care plan and their premiums, co-pays and deductibles more than doubled. That is what you can expect from Medicare-For-All, only worse!”
Voter: “Now wait a minute! I have a good health care plan with my employer. Are you saying the government could take away my employer plan under Medicare-For-All?”
Echoes: “Yes they can and they will if we have one-party rule. Do you still want to vote Democrat and push for one-party rule?”
Voter: “I don’t know. I’ll have to check it out.”
Echoes: “Were you aware of all those policies I mentioned before you voted and before we started this conversation?”
Voter: “I was aware of some of them but obviously I was not aware of all of them.”
Echoes: “Were you also aware that all of these Democrat policies I brought up are anti-American, anti-individual freedom and violate many principles contained in the U. S. Constitution? Are you further aware that they border on, if not parallel to, Karl Marx socialism, a failed government model? Do you want to live in a free country or a country ruled by men and women who think they are smarter than you and thus you have to obey them unquestionably or face dire consequences like fines, penalties and even jail time if you don’t comply? I strongly suggest before you answer that question, you take the time to read ‘Is the Future of America An Avalanche of Socialism.’ Perhaps then you will begin to understand what it means to be a Democrat and what Democrats are doing to rip apart or destroy a free America. There is even more I could relate to you but this is enough to get my point across.”
Voter: “I don’t know. Some of what you say rings true, but I have been a Democrat for so long, I’m not sure that I could ever change. My parents might shun me. My Democrat friends might abandon me and my grandfather and grandmother will roll over in their graves.”
Echoes: “This is why I say you are a victim of party blindness, where “my party, right or wrong, my party” holds more influence over you than facts or individual freedom. Once again, I recommend that you take a deep dive into the facts and find out why being a Democrat is way too much like shooting yourself in the foot, that is if you value your personal freedom. If you don’t, I can’t help you. We can only hope that Trump will be the victor in 2020, a year that will go down as one of the weirdest years in recent history. If Biden, a socialist Democrat, wins it will be the death of America by a thousand deep cuts to the Constitution, our freedom and our economy!
No, Republicans aren’t perfect by any means but they still believe in personal freedom, unalienable rights, self-reliance and individual responsibility. They don’t believe in servitude to a socialist oligarchy of arrogant men and women who think they are smarter than anyone else and if necessary may just decide to punctuate their belief with guns.”

At this point and possibly even several days after the election, no one really knows who is going to win the presidency in 2020, unless of course it is a landslide for one of the candidates. Like 2016, the race is too close to call. Election headquarters in several states could be counting ballots for many days, if not weeks, or even months because of several states changing over to mail-in ballots. The uncertainty of the election triggers deep anxiety in millions of Americans and brings unsettled volatility to the markets. National turmoil is the rule of the day, which could trigger more violence and riots.
But let’s just say for argument’s sake that Biden has won. What motive do the Democrat voters have for voting for Joe Biden and down ballot Democrat candidates? We’re going to have our moderator, “Echoes From The Past”, ask a typical Democrat why he voted as he did.
Echoes From the Past: “Why did you vote for all the Democrat candidates on the ballot?”
Democrat Voter: “Because I’m a Democrat. I’ve always been a Democrat and I’ll go on being a Democrat.”
Echoes: “Why are you a Democrat?”
Voter: “Because my father and mother are Democrats. My grandfather and grandmother were Democrats and as far as I know, all my relatives are Democrats.” (See: “Little Black Box Theory”)
Echoes:” Why did you vote for Joe Biden for president given that it has been proven that he is openly corrupt and ten cards short of a full deck?”
Voter: “Because he is a Democrat.”
Echoes: “Do you have any idea what federal policies Joe Biden and the Democrats are proposing to fundamentally change America? Are you aware that Biden wants to significantly raise your taxes? Doesn’t it bother you that he is hopelessly corrupt?”
Voter: “I know some of those policies but not all the ones that are in the Democrat platform. Biden has promised that any new taxes will only be raised on the rich. I’m not rich. And as far as Joe being corrupt, that is just Russian misinformation, according to all the news outlets.”
Echoes: “Do you agree with the policies that you do know and want the Democrats to implement those policies if Biden becomes president, like raising taxes?”
Voter: “Absolutely! The Democrats wouldn’t propose those policies unless they were good for America. Would they?”
Echoes: “Unfortunately, that is naïve on your part. The Democrats are also proposing the Green New Deal. Are you aware of what is in the Green New Deal?”
Voter: “Well sort of. I’m not familiar with all of the details.”
Echoes: “Are you aware that the Green New Deal calls for the elimination of all fossil fuels and that fossil fuels are to be replaced with wind and solar power. In fact the Green New Deal is much more than eliminating fossil fuels. It also has plans to address Climate Change and economic inequality. You should check it out. Nevertheless, implementing the Green New Deal will cost millions of jobs in the fossil fuel sector. Is your job safe? Are you aware of why the Democrats want to eliminate fossil fuels?”
Voter: “Well yes, but I don’t really know what the impact will be to eliminate fossil fuels. I do know that they want to eliminate fossil fuels to save the planet from man-caused global warming.” (See: “Back To the Future”)
Echoes: “Are you aware that over 80% of our energy comes from fossil fuels and that wind and solar cannot replace that 80%, without massive taxpayer subsidies in the trillions and millions of acres of land (an estimated 13.6 million acres or 20 Rhode Islands) being gobbled up for wind and solar? The impact of the Green New Deal will be devastating on the economy and people’s lives. Rolling black outs and brown outs will be common, just like California is now.
Are you aware that man-caused global warming is a fraud and that it was invented to enslave all the peoples of the earth by the socialist Democrats and the national and international socialist oligarchs and aristocrats?” (See: “Climate”)
Voter: “No, I can’t believe that. Climate change was taught to us in grade school, middle school, high school and college. Why would they teach it if it was a fraud?”
Echoes: “Because Democrats, the oligarchs and the aristocrats want to control you and then take your money and spread it around the planet. Climate Change is Democrat propaganda, mostly for the purpose of wealth re-distribution! It is naïve to think otherwise. They want everyone to be equal, live in small houses or apartments, get out of their cars and take mass transit, or their bicycle, or walk to work and willing comply, without question, with all the edicts and orders issued by the Democrats, oligarchs and aristocrats like good little compliant robots. You know, like forcing you to stay in your home, or keeping your mask on while eating. Ludicrous! They want to confiscate the wealth of the rich and spread it around to other countries, using the police power of the government to do it.”
Voter: “How do I know that you are telling me the truth?”
Echoes: “Because the Democrats, oligarchs and aristocrats, including Biden and Harris, have come out and openly said what they are going to do and their national and international policies mandate it. Take a look at the United Nations Agenda 21 policies. Read the manifestoes from the United Nations. Read the Democratic Party platform. Read all the socialist and environmental laws, local, state and federal. Then you will get an idea of just how draconian and freedom-robbing are their policies. They don’t even believe that private citizens should be allowed to own property, in direct conflict with the U. S. Constitution. Democrats don’t want you to be free. They want you in chains and they are using public school and college brainwashing to achieve compliancy.”
Voter: “That sounds ominous. But I find it hard to believe.”
Echoes: “Well you are hearing it now, probably for the first time because you are a Democrat and don’t listen to the facts. You are the victim of party blindness.
“Have you paid any attention to what else your Democrat friends want to do? Are you aware for instance that the Democrats want to add more justices to the Supreme Court, do away with the Senate filibuster rule and make Washington DC and Puerto Rico the 51st and 52nd states to cement their permanent control over Congress and set in stone one-party rule? Are you aware that the Supreme Court is a judicial body, not a legislative body, like what the Democrats want it to be? The high court has had nine justices for 151 years and has worked well for those 151 years? Did you know that the filibuster rule protects Americans from having radical laws and legislation being shoved down their throats by rogue legislators or parties? Do you know why Democrats want to do this?”
Voter: “Well wouldn’t those be good things to do? It would give more control and power to Democrats.”
Echoes: “So you think one-party rule is a good thing? One-party rule is a country ruled by an oligarchy of arrogant men and women, controlling 100% of the means of production, just one step removed from a dictatorship. Do you want to live under a dictatorship?”
Voter: “No! Of course not! But the Democrats aren’t advocating for a dictatorship!”
Echoes: “Are you sure? But let’s move on. Are you aware that Democrats want to open our borders to anyone that wants to come to America? They also want to stop all deportations and dismantle the immigration enforcement division known as ICE? Do you know they also want to give free health care and other taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal aliens? Do you have any idea how much this would cost over and above what we are already paying for illegal aliens? Americans are forking over $113 Billion per year in taxes now to support illegal aliens. (Source: Cato Institute) Can you image what that cost would be if Americans have to pay for the health care of illegal aliens? Do you know that the cost comes right out of your pocket in the form of the taxes you pay? Do you know why Democrats want to do this? Because Democrats want more future Democrat voters and they know illegal aliens will give it to them. Democrats know that illegal aliens come from socialist countries and the ignorant ones (most of them are ignorant) will vote Democrat every time. The Democrat’s goal is to finally take over America as the only party in power. Are you OK with this?”
Voter: “Well why not? I’m a Democrat. But I sure don’t like paying for illegal aliens. I don’t make that much money.”
Echoes: “While we are at it, are you aware that your Democrat friends want to take your private health insurance away from you and replace it with what Democrats call Medicare-For-All? Do you know what Medicare-For-All means? It means that a government bureaucracy runs all health care in America and can set what they will cover and charge whatever price they want to charge. It is a monopoly. They can determine what health care you get or whether you get any health care at all. The wait times under Medicare-For-All could be life threatening. The government can ration health care if there isn’t enough tax money, or sufficient doctors, nurses, hospitals and equipment to cover medical care. They can deny health care because you are too old because it doesn’t make economic sense (to them) to put money into a person at the end of their life. Old people will be the first to suffer.”
“Do you remember what happened with Obama Care? The Democrats said you could keep your doctor and your health care plan and your costs would go down by $2,500 per year. The Democrats purposely lied to get the legislation passed. Obama Care was the foot in the door to get Medicare-For-All (single-payer health care) passed. Under Obama Care, millions of Americans lost their doctor and their health care plan and their premiums, co-pays and deductibles more than doubled. That is what you can expect from Medicare-For-All, only worse!”
Voter: “Now wait a minute! I have a good health care plan with my employer. Are you saying the government could take away my employer plan under Medicare-For-All?”
Echoes: “Yes they can and they will if we have one-party rule. Do you still want to vote Democrat and push for one-party rule?”

"When The Media Lies, The Constitution Dies!”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

“When the public's right to know is threatened, and when the rights of free speech and free press are at risk, all of the other liberties we hold dear are endangered.” Christopher Dodd, contemporary Democrat politician, lobbyist and lawyer
Well before the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the U. S. Constitution, colonial newspapers of the new world were known for not offending the British-controlled colonies. They basically reported the news and events in Europe and the Colonies, very respective of British authority. But England became too oppressive and that oppression led to the American Revolution.
Newspapers of the day carried the rallying cry for freedom. After Americans successfully divorced themselves from British rule, newspapers began reporting the activities of the new United States government and the men in charge of creating the U. S. Constitution. Nevertheless, differences of opinion were just as prevalent as they are today. Not everyone agreed about what was to go into the new Constitution. During the debate between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists over whether a Bill of Rights, and more specifically the First Amendment, was to become a part of the Constitution, colonial newspapers helped to bring public awareness to the debate. Alexander Hamilton’s Federalist Papers went even further to spread the intent behind the Framers in crafting the Constitution.
The Freeman’s Journal of Philadelphia published the following opinion about the Bill of Rights and freedom of the press:
“As long as the liberty of the press continues un-violated, and the people have the right of expressing and publishing their sentiments upon every public measure, it is next to impossible to enslave a free nation. Men of an aspiring and tyrannical disposition, sensible of this truth, have ever been inimical to the press, and have considered the shackling of it, as the first step towards the accomplishment of their hateful domination, and the entire suppression of all liberty of public discussion, as necessary to its support. For even a standing army, that grand engine of oppression, if it were as numerous as the abilities of any nation could maintain, would not be equal to the purposes of despotism over an enlightened people. An abolition of that grand palladium of freedom, the liberty of the press, in the proposed plan of government, and the conduct of its authors, and patrons, is a striking exemplification of these observations.”
Thomas Jefferson wrote at the time:
"The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them."
Unfortunately, Jefferson’s quote, to have any meaning or substance, requires that the press be truly free, objective and honest and the public be informed on the issues. Today’s press however, has moved dramatically away from these attributes and instead has become the propaganda arm of the socialist Democratic Party.
If you are a journalist reading this article, you should look in the mirror and see real shame all over your face. Most of you have become a traitor to freedom!
The press in all forms (and social media) didn’t become socialist Democrat propagandists by accident. It has been a centuries-long effort, dating back to the early 1900’s, to brainwash an entire culture in the flawed, anti-American ideology of Progressivism. All that was necessary to complete the transformation was to infiltrate socialist policies (and later added, environmental, one-world policies) into the public school system and then into academia. Generation after generation of America’s school children have been immersed in socialist swill until the body politic has become socialists in their thinking, socialists in their actions and socialists in their politics.
The products of this purposeful indoctrination became journalists, educators, teachers, professors, union workers, politicians, bureaucrats, lawyers, psychologists, psychiatrists, engineers, code writers, technicians and even housewives, until one day, there was ONLY ONE frame of thought ……. Progressivism. Those graduates of the public schools and colleges eventually occupied the halls of the now all-powerful Social Media. All other thoughts, ideas and policies that did not agree with the ONE frame of thought, were demeaned, maligned, squelched and rendered irrelevant, or silenced by censorship, or sometimes threatened by violence, or violence itself.
What is the purpose of news? Any reasonable person would say that it is to find out what is happening of importance locally in their city, county, or state, what is happening nationally in their own country and what is happening globally. That information, if presented objectively, would give a person a well-rounded overview of the total world in which he or she lives. But that's not what they get. What we get is “America Through A Distorted Window.”
What is the purpose of the news media? Once again, any reasonable person would say that the news media should report the "news" accurately and with as little bias as possible, except for one little nagging characteristic, humans are, by their very nature, biased. The reporter who reports the news, the journalist who investigates the news, the historian that writes history books about the news and the reader that reads the news, are inherently biased. The question is, does the amount of bias change the truth?
Then you have to ask, "what is the news?" The "news" is whatever a flawed and biased human being in the news media, who has the responsibility of reporting the "news", decides what should be reported. Since the reader, listener, or watcher of the "news" has no interaction with the news media on what is to be reported, he or she is a hapless victim of the inherent bias in the "news" that is reported and he or she must filter out the bias as best as each can, even though the reader is also biased. Sadly, each reader, listener and watcher of the news, sees the news through a heavily distorted lens of his or her own making. Too many times that distorted lens is either a “D” or an “R.”
Can the news media be bought? To the concerns that the Founding Fathers had about the news media being hijacked by the powerful and the wealthy, Forbes Magazine reported in June of 2016 that 15 billionaires own most of the American news outlets, from the major networks ABC, NBC and CBS, to the cable networks like FOX, MSNBC and CNN. Michael Bloomberg, Rupert Murdock and George Soros are just three of those 15 billionaires. Bloomberg LP has over 2,000 correspondents around the world collecting the "news". Who controls the final editing of all the news that is being reported by those 2,000 correspondents when Michael Bloomberg has a huge financial interest in the success or failure of the outlets he owns? What is the bias of the correspondents and the editors and how does that bias influence what is being reported?
Besides the financial interests of the billionaires that own the news outlets, a fatal disease has infected journalism throughout the entire industry. Journalists now want to change the world with their power, in other words “make” the news, instead of reporting the news accurately.
Besides the inherent bias, now predominantly liberal, the success or failure of the news media is driven by five factors: advertising revenues, paid subscriptions, ratings, the 24-hour news cycle and the impact of the internet and social media. No business model allows success without sufficient revenues to support all of the activities of the news outlet. Print media is suffering from lower advertising and subscription revenues and many have folded, or are on the brink of bankruptcy because of TV, the Internet and social media. Radio, which offers a combination of music and talk, appears to be healthy but only from a local perspective. National talk radio is not doing all that well, unless merged with TV, Rush Limbaugh being the exception. The TV media requires a little more detail.
National television has become talk radio, only in video form, with endless debate and analysis, camouflaged as news. No TV platform is immune from this malady. Turn on any TV news program and instead of the all-around broad news we were expecting, we get endless opinions and analysis by so-called experts, reporters and correspondents, better suited for the newspaper opinion page. If you are looking for national and international news reported accurately, you will be hard pressed to find it. And the analysis and opinions are heavily slanted towards the left side of the political aisle with just a pointless token segment from the other side.
When was the last time you heard news from Central or South America, or Canada, or Australia? Why isn't the news media doing in depth reporting on Russia and their national motives and goals and how those motives and goals influence our foreign policy and the rest of the world? How about reflecting on life in China and the objectives of their communist-run regime? What do we get instead, endless Trump-Russian collusion?
The sad truth is, the news has now boiled down to the never-ending Trump hour and what he is allegedly doing, according to the Progressives, to ruin the lives of those poor dependent Americans, those "hard working" and honest illegal aliens, the violent protestors and those so-called "peaceful" refugees coming in from Muslim countries. The news is also riddled with social justice, environmental extremism, global warming, the green new deal and alternative energy, all insane liberal causes.
The duped reader, watcher and listener of the news can't filter out the liberal bias in the news because the liberal bias overshadows the news. Generations of Americans are now infected with that bias.
As we have said in many of our articles, Progressivism has been embedded in all of our institutions, from education, to politics, to foreign policy, to health care, to the environment, to commerce, to finance and to the news media. But worse, it has infected the minds of the American people for several generations. Progressivism has been set in stone in the body politic and it will take a jack-hammer or a revolution to break it up.
Each infected institution has become a co-conspirator and racketeer in pushing the radical Progressive agenda throughout the United States. But what most people don't realize is, that Progressive agenda is the antithesis and enemy of a free America. If you are poor, lazy, black, Latino, disabled, mentally or sexually challenged, a refugee, or an illegal alien, you are a protected Democrat class and rewarded by government, at taxpayer expense …. for your votes. If you are successful you are a taxed class and frowned upon and ridiculed for being successful. But it's not altruism that drives the rewarding of the protected classes, it's the lust for power. Those welfare-style so-called “free gifts” you end up paying for, are solely for Democrat votes.
When the fourth estate carries the banner of one political ideology and weaves that ideology into every aspect of its reporting, it becomes an agenda-driven entity, working in collusion with the Democrat Party. At that point the constitutional foundation of individual freedom is forever diminished, or silenced and is the Founding Father's worst nightmare come true. In such event, totalitarian government cannot be far behind.

Besides the inherent bias, now predominantly liberal, the success or failure of the news media is driven by five factors: advertising revenues, paid subscriptions, ratings, the 24-hour news cycle and the impact of the internet and social media. No business model allows success without sufficient revenues to support all of the activities of the news outlet. Print media is suffering from lower advertising and subscription revenues and many have folded, or are on the brink of bankruptcy because of TV, the Internet and social media. Radio, which offers a combination of music and talk, appears to be healthy but only from a local perspective. National talk radio is not doing all that well, unless merged with TV, Rush Limbaugh being the exception. The TV media requires a little more detail.
National television has become talk radio, only in video form, with endless debate and analysis, camouflaged as news. No TV platform is immune from this malady. Turn on any TV news program and instead of the all-around broad news we were expecting, we get endless opinions and analysis by so-called experts, reporters and correspondents, better suited for the newspaper opinion page. If you are looking for national and international news reported accurately, you will be hard pressed to find it. And the analysis and opinions are heavily slanted towards the left side of the political aisle with just a pointless token segment from the other side.
When was the last time you heard news from Central or South America, or Canada, or Australia? Why isn't the news media doing in depth reporting on Russia and their national motives and goals and how those motives and goals influence our foreign policy and the rest of the world? How about reflecting on life in China and the objectives of their communist-run regime? What do we get instead, endless Trump-Russian collusion?
The sad truth is, the news has now boiled down to the never-ending Trump hour and what he is allegedly doing, according to the Progressives, to ruin the lives of those poor dependent Americans, those "hard working" and honest illegal aliens, the violent protestors and those so-called "peaceful" refugees coming in from Muslim countries. The news is also riddled with social justice, environmental extremism, global warming, the green new deal and alternative energy, all insane liberal causes.
The duped reader, watcher and listener of the news can't filter out the liberal bias in the news because the liberal bias overshadows the news. Generations of Americans are now infected with that bias.
As we have said in many of our articles, Progressivism has been embedded in all of our institutions, from education, to politics, to foreign policy, to health care, to the environment, to commerce, to finance and to the news media. But worse, it has infected the minds of the American people for several generations. Progressivism has been set in stone in the body politic and it will take a jack-hammer or a revolution to break it up.
Each infected institution has become a co-conspirator and racketeer in pushing the radical Progressive agenda throughout the United States. But what most people don't realize is, that Progressive agenda is the antithesis and enemy of a free America. If you are poor, lazy, black, Latino, disabled, mentally or sexually challenged, a refugee, or an illegal alien, you are a protected Democrat class and rewarded by government, at taxpayer expense …. for your votes. If you are successful you are a taxed class and frowned upon and ridiculed for being successful. But it's not altruism that drives the rewarding of the protected classes, it's the lust for power. Those welfare-style so-called “free gifts” you end up paying for, are solely for Democrat votes.
When the fourth estate carries the banner of one political ideology and weaves that ideology into every aspect of its reporting, it becomes an agenda-driven entity, working in collusion with the Democrat Party. At that point the constitutional foundation of individual freedom is forever diminished, or silenced and is the Founding Father's worst nightmare come true. In such event, totalitarian government cannot be far behind.

"Why Don’t Democrats Care That
Joe Biden Is Hopelessly Corrupt”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

THE SCOURGE OF PARTY BLINDNESS:
“I have consistently made it very clear that I will vote a straight Democratic [Republican] ticket, just like I do every election. From the local Constable to the President, I will be voting for every Democrat [Republican] on the ballot. I don’t care to which policies they subscribe or how corrupt they might be. My party, right or wrong, my party.”
Joe and Hunter Biden should be in jail, but they are not. The corruption and influence peddling evidence is overwhelming and yet they are allowed to walk free. The damning information is scuttled by social media and the mainstream news and hidden from view. The questions about the corruption are never asked and the answers are never forthcoming.
From all appearances the Department of Justice is absent, the FBI won’t investigate and the news media is complicit in the cover up of Biden family corruption.
John Durham’s investigation into the FBI Trump-Russia coup d’etat won’t be released before the November election. If Biden is elected president, the Durham probe would most likely conveniently disappear. The American people will never know the depth of deceit, deception and illegal activity perpetrated by politicians in the Democrat party, or high-level government operatives in the FBI, DOJ and the CIA to take down a sitting U. S. president. The FIX is in and the American people can do nothing to stop it, short of armed revolution!
Unfortunately, no matter how corrupt, daft, gaff prone, or dishonorable a candidate might be, no matter how long he or she has served as a politician, the stupid voter will continue to vote that same person into public office, election cycle, after election cycle, such that the same persons perpetrate the same indignities and injustices on the American people. Somehow that just doesn’t seem very bright.
Johann Most, a German-American Social Democrat, stated that, “Whomever looks at America will see the ship is powered by stupidity, corruption and prejudice.” Given Biden’s 47-year questionable history in public office, Johann wasn’t far off the mark.
But it is the people themselves that have allowed America to descend into the sewer of depravity, drug abuse, racism, rioting, violence and stupidity. It is the flawed ideology of Progressivism that has infiltrated all of our institutions and brainwashed several generations. It is the public school system and academia that have shoved Progressivism down our collective throats and perverted the minds of our young ones.
Dan Crenshaw, current representative of Texas, stated that, “ Well-intentioned liberalism always leads to Progressivism. There’s no choice. Once that action is taken, the only thing left to run on is totalitarianism.” If Biden wins the presidency, Crenshaw’s prognostication could be realized.
One might ask, how is it that Democrats believe in Climate Change (man-made global warming) and Republicans are skeptical? If the science is clear and irrefutable, then no matter which party you affiliate with, won’t change the science.
But the problem is, the science is not clear and irrefutable and those that believe in so-called Climate Change have been brainwashed with a fraudulent environmental agenda. (See “Climate”) The agenda is that man is evil and has damaged the planet beyond repair. He must be reined in with strangling regulations and egregiously high taxes to pay for his alleged transgressions. Man is guilty and must bow down to the all-wise, all-knowing, all-seeing, national and international environmental oligarchs.
Any normal, reasonable and prudent person, Democrat or Republican, would question the science and not be so hasty about capitulating to the Climate Change propaganda. Sadly, most Americans are just plain stupid. Their total amount of knowledge could be contained in the first inch of the ocean. They know not of what lies below that first inch.
The same science argument can be applied to the Coronavirus. Some science points one way. A different science points another way. The questions abound: lock down or no lock down; mask or no mask; school or no school; kids are immune; old people are vulnerable; vaccine or no vaccine? What are the people to believe? President Trump has tried to make policy to control the virus, but some argue his efforts were either mismanaged or not enough. Could Biden as President do any better? No one knows but because there are so many unknowns and competing influences, it is highly unlikely. The virus, like the weather, is a non-linear dynamic system and defies predictability.
Why is it that Democrats have moved so deeply into socialism and renounced the very foundation of our freedom and God-given, unalienable rights? Why are they so anxious to tear down a system of government that has been the envy of the world for 250 years? Is it just power for power’s sake? Are they using the ignorance and stupidity of the masses to advance their goal of absolute power? Is totalitarianism their final end game? We may very well find out if Joe and Kamala win.
But alas ladies and gentlemen, stupidity reigns. Stupidity and blind party affiliation are why Democrats will vote for the hopelessly flawed, corrupt, morally challenged and intellectually deficient candidate Joe Biden and his power-hungry, racial zealot of a running mate, Kamala Harris. The people may just get what they deserve. The following story could be that unwanted wish:
“One night, you are sitting at the dinner table with your wife and two daughters when a lone, masked gunman crashes through the front door and threatens you with a gun, right at your own dinner table. If you don't turn over all your valuables, cash, check books, your keys, your two young girls and your car, he will shoot the whole family dead.”
”Paralyzing fear grips you. Your mind is racing, adrenalin surges through your body, sweat breaks out on your forehead and your heartbeat accelerates to a dangerous level. You can't think clearly. In a halting voice you try to talk the gunman out of what he is demanding you to do, but he is adamant and becomes even more threatening and irrational.”
“You search desperately in your mind for other actions you could take against this real threat, but you come up empty. You sit there, drained of your ability to act in any meaningful manner. You have no way to defend yourself, much less your family. What choice do you have but to capitulate to the demands of the gunman, or bring certain death to you, your wife and your daughters? As your car races away with the gunman at the wheel, you watch as your valuables, your check books, your cash and your two young, innocent girls disappear into the night. All you can do is to call the authorities and hope they can retrieve the most precious things in your life, your two beautiful daughters. The rest that the gunman stole doesn't matter. It can be replaced.”
”Despair overwhelms you. Your "good" life has just been shattered and depending on the outcome, your life may be permanently torn to pieces. You fight with your wife and she blames you for not doing anything, when in fact there was nothing you could do. She cries uncontrollably and you try to console her. However, she blames you because there is no one else to blame in the high emotional, irrational state in which she finds herself.”
”The authorities search for the gunman but he is never found and your girls are lost in the shadowy world of swarthy men and white slavery. You beat yourself up in your mind, asking over and over and over again, ‘what could I have done?’ No answer echoes back to take away your guilt and that sinking feeling of utter helplessness.”
”Finally, anger and guilt consume you and you drift in an out of sanity. Your wife leaves you because the glue that bound you together was your love and your two lovely girls. You lose your job and your friends abandon you. A serious threat suddenly entered your life and you were totally unprepared and had no way to defend against it.”
Beware of pending threats and be careful voter, what you wish or vote for. That unintended wish just might come true.
Now you can vote for Joe Biden for president but don’t be surprised if the masked gunman that breaks into your home at night while you’re eating dinner, to take your possessions, your guns and your two daughters, turns out to be a Biden SWAT team, led by none other than Biden’s police force general, Beto O’Rourke. Remember, Beto said he was coming after your guns.
But Biden is going to raise your taxes, regulate you to death with the Green New Deal, get rid of fossil fuels, steal your health care under “Medicare For All” and give free health care to illegal aliens and maybe even the vote, along with opening the borders, stopping all deportations and dismantling ICE. He and his Democrat colleagues are going to pack the U. S. Supreme Court and repeal the Senate filibuster rule. He’s promised to give all you ignorant millennials free college and forgive all college tuition debt. He says he can do all this by raising taxes on the wealthy, but don’t kid your self.
All this not withstanding, Joe Biden is corrupt to the core and he lies through his teeth. So why on earth would Democrats vote for Joe Biden? It would appear that stupidity knows no bounds and party blindness replaces logic, reason and common sense.

"Remember, You Got A Taste Of Biden When Obama Won”
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

“Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.” Alexis de Tocqueville, French aristocrat, diplomat, political scientist and historian (1805 - 1859)
Most of us remember when Obama, just before being elected president, said: “We are only five days from fundamentally transforming America.” That bold, anti-American statement should have sent shivers down the spine of every free-loving American. What was wrong with America that made it necessary to “transform” it?
Perhaps there were some patriotic Americans felt their spines shiver at the thought of an angry black man taking power in America. Unfortunately, most didn’t as they were so enamored by a black man becoming president they failed to recognize the evil plans Obama had for “his” America. In eight years of being president, Obama showed us what he meant and the “transformation” in his image began on that fateful January 20th day of 2009. How ironic it is, that the first black man to be elected president of the United States, a historical moment, was a raging socialist. (Here’s why: “Obama’s Childhood and Young Adult History”)
Now we’re faced with a slow-of-wit, aging, hollow, empty shell of a man who wants to be president. This losing-his-mind derelict spent 47 years in public life but never accomplished anything except getting filthy rich for himself and his family. He wants to “fundamentally transform” America again, only much worse this time. There was no Green New Deal when Obama took office in 2009. There was no free college tuition being offered, or forgiving student loan debt. There were no threats to abolish the Electoral College and pack the U. S. Supreme Court. There was no talk of repealing the Senate filibuster rule. No one had thought of providing free health care and a whole bunch of other taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal aliens. If Biden becomes president he has sworn to stop all deportations and detentions for criminal aliens by ICE. This is nothing less than an open door policy to the rest of the world, where border security and sovereign integrity are a cruel joke.
There was however talk and legislation to nationalize America’s health care industry under Obama Care. Obama Care was the stepping-stone and the plan all along to take us to a full-fledged single-payer health care system under Medicare For All, one of the hallmarks of the Democratic Platform.
Obama gutted the military, as most Democrat presidents do, and increased regulations exponentially on everything from the environment to wild-eyed socialist causes. His foreign policy initiatives and his deal with Iran were raving failures. All Americans can expect just about the same from a Biden presidency. He will revive the failed Iran deal and put us back into the Paris Climate Accord where trillions of dollars will be sucked from American taxpayers to fund the fraud of climate change. (See: “Climate”)
If the Democrats take both houses of Congress and the presidency, all these things they want are very likely to come to pass. If they are successful, the cost to American freedom, American pocket books, American sovereignty and the economy will be devastating. All of the things that President Trump did to improve the lives of all Americans in just four years, will be thrown into the trash heap.
Remember, Obama Care hasn’t worked and the cost has only gone up, dramatically. Obama Care was patently unconstitutional no matter what Chief Justice John Roberts said.
Every estimate for the costs of any government program has turned out to be greater than the estimates by several orders of magnitude
. Government hardly ever gets it right but that fact falls on the deaf ears of Democrat voters. They only see the “free” dollars they get from being dependent on government. Personal pride, honor, achievement, excellence, self-reliance, individual responsibility and unalienable rights are far from their petty, empty minds.
THE LEGACY OF DEMOCRAT PRESIDENTS AND THE RISE OF POGRESSIVISM
Every Democrat President since Woodrow Wilson has led America closer and closer to a socialist nation, all the while disrespecting the work of the Founding Fathers in their pursuit of individual freedom. They have continually violated constitutional safeguards for individual liberty. Wilson’s policies “reflected a deep commitment to the humanization of the industrial system and laid the foundation for the modern welfare state.” If you thought that universal health insurance was a new idea, think again. President Theodore Roosevelt had proposed it and Woodrow Wilson attempted to pass it, unsuccessfully. “Wilson’s New Freedom initiative did much to extend the power of the federal government in social and economic affairs, and arguably paved the way for future reform programs such as the New Deal and the Great Society.” (Bold quotes from multiple sources)
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) is known for extending the great depression by several years with giant leaps into socialism, including the passage of New Deal social and subsidy programs and Social Security, which by the way, is set to run dry in 2035. “Under the National Industrial Recovery Act and the National Industrial Administration (NRA) the federal government took over certain private industries and put them under the control of the NRA. Those industries were forced to fund the NRA through taxes levied upon their businesses. It was estimated that the NRA increased the operating cost of those businesses by 40%.”
Under the Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA) “FDR promoted higher food prices by paying farmers to plow under some 10 million acres of crops and slaughter and discard some six million farm animals. This policy and subsequent programs to pay farmers for not producing, victimized the 100 million Americans who were consumers.” (Source: Cato Institute)
These were hardly free-market, constitutional solutions to economic problems. FDR just did them, with the help of a Democrat Congress. Nevertheless, he failed to pack the Supreme Court when Democrats and Republicans came out against the idea. If Biden wins, Democrats will probably try again but they will most likely fail.
Then along came President Johnson’s Great Society. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps and Head Start programs were passed during Johnson’s administration. The Civil Rights Act was filibustered by Joe Biden’s hero, KKK, black-hating Senator Robert Byrd, wherein he spoke for 14 hours and 3 minutes against the act.
Most of the southern states were against passage of the Act and put up a giant roadblock that lasted some 57 days. They were so angry with Democrat President Johnson several southern block states shifted to Republican and have remained mostly Republican ever since.
Johnson expanded the federal government’s role in education and health care as well, interfering with local control of education. Many of the issues Johnson tackled as president are still raging problems today and many were just continuations of FDR’s New Deal. Their effectiveness is still open to wide debate but it is crystal clear that Johnson’s Great Society “was the largest, most intrusive expansion of the federal government ever.” Johnson fully pulled off one of the greatest “fundamental transformations” in American history, eclipsing Woodrow Wilson and FDR. One of the negative results was the breakdown in the Black family structure and the increase in Black dependency on government. Racial strife and violence are still with us today in spite of the Civil Rights Act. It is even worse because of Democrat socialist policies and Democrat race baiting and division.
Democrat President William Jefferson Clinton once again increased not only costly social programs on the American people, he created the “President’s Commission on Sustainable Development” which had the effect of adopting an international environmental policy without that policy being debated and ratified by the U. S. Congress, as required by the U. S. Constitution. That international environmental policy was none other than the United Nations Agenda 21 accord, adopted in 1992 by over 170 nations, including being signed by our U. S. President, George H. W. Bush. Agenda 21 has infiltrated every level of environmental law, from almost every city, to the states and the federal government and has all but eliminated constitutional protections for property rights.
The core elements of Agenda 21, (or sustainable development as it is called), are economic growth, eradicating poverty, reducing inequality, social inclusion, (whatever that is) environmental protection, management of natural resources and ecosystems, including addressing climate change Private ownership of land is to be abolished and land use is to be managed by government.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
All of the above Democrat presidents focused on the collective and not the individual and yet the whole concept and foundation of America’s Constitutional Republic is based on protection by government of individual rights, as codified into law by the U. S. Constitution.
Socialist Democrats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are in the category of presidents that put their focus on the collective, which includes the poor, downtrodden, women and allegedly the racially oppressed. But they aren’t focusing on these groups for altruistic reasons. They are strictly focusing on these groups for their votes because there are more of them than there are of us. Their goal is perpetual political power by any means. If Biden gets elected, they may accomplish it. Propaganda, lies, distortions and myths are the weapons to achieve that power and they are not above fomenting racial division, class warfare, cheating, stealing, or political skullduggery, like forcing mail-in ballots in several states.
What you will get with a Biden-Harris Administration is a Democrat, Progressive, Wilson, FDR, Johnson, Clinton and Obama Administrations combined, on steroids. They will openly and blatantly finish the job that Obama started, to turn America into a socialist nation where “equality is achieved by restraint and servitude”, a nation run by power-obsessed oligarchs, aristocrats and out-of-control, un-elected bureaucrats.
But then, aren’t we already there now? The Establishment and Deep State are in control and it appears that the perpetrators within the FBI, DOJ, CIA and NSI (along with Hillary Clinton and the DNC) are going to get away with an attempted and unprecedented coup against a sitting U. S. President. It is unlikely anyone will go to jail for their crimes because America has evolved into a two-tier society, high-level political operatives who are immune from prosecution and those who are subject to the full extent of the law, like the rest of us.
The Durham Report on the attempted coup by Obama, Clinton and their cohorts, if released before the election, could change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump and show just how corrupt are Democrats. But alas, Durham doesn’t plan to release the report or issue any indictments prior to the election so we are told.
None of this would ever have happened if the American people were paying attention. The people erroneously think that they can live their lives in a protected bubble without regard to the immense power that government holds over them. The people’s total contribution and involvement to the Republic is to vote for the same guy or gal, every election cycle. Because of that, true representative government is dead.

Unfortunately, most didn’t as they were so enamored by a black man becoming president they failed to recognize the evil plans Obama had for “his” America. In eight years of being president, Obama showed us what he meant and the “transformation” in his image began on that fateful January 20th day of 2009. How ironic it is, that the first black man to be elected president of the United States, a historical moment, was a raging socialist. (Here’s why: “Obama’s Childhood and Young Adult History”)
Now we’re faced with a slow-of-wit, aging, hollow, empty shell of a man who wants to be president. This losing-his-mind derelict spent 47 years in public life but never accomplished anything except getting filthy rich for himself and his family. He wants to “fundamentally transform” America again, only much worse this time. There was no Green New Deal when Obama took office in 2009. There was no free college tuition being offered, or forgiving student loan debt. There were no threats to abolish the Electoral College and pack the U. S. Supreme Court. There was no talk of repealing the Senate filibuster rule. No one had thought of providing free health care and a whole bunch of other taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal aliens. If Biden becomes president he has sworn to stop all deportations and detentions for criminal aliens by ICE. This is nothing less than an open door policy to the rest of the world, where border security and sovereign integrity are a cruel joke.
There was however talk and legislation to nationalize America’s health care industry under Obama Care. Obama Care was the stepping-stone and the plan all along to take us to a full-fledged single-payer health care system under Medicare For All, one of the hallmarks of the Democratic Platform.
Obama gutted the military, as most Democrat presidents do, and increased regulations exponentially on everything from the environment to wild-eyed socialist causes. His foreign policy initiatives and his deal with Iran were raving failures. All Americans can expect just about the same from a Biden presidency. He will revive the failed Iran deal and put us back into the Paris Climate Accord where trillions of dollars will be sucked from American taxpayers to fund the fraud of climate change. (See: “Climate”)
If the Democrats take both houses of Congress and the presidency, all these things they want are very likely to come to pass. If they are successful, the cost to American freedom, American pocket books, American sovereignty and the economy will be devastating. All of the things that President Trump did to improve the lives of all Americans in just four years, will be thrown into the trash heap.
Remember, Obama Care hasn’t worked and the cost has only gone up, dramatically. Obama Care was patently unconstitutional no matter what Chief Justice John Roberts said.
Every estimate for the costs of any government program has turned out to be greater than the estimates by several orders of magnitude
. Government hardly ever gets it right but that fact falls on the deaf ears of Democrat voters. They only see the “free” dollars they get from being dependent on government. Personal pride, honor, achievement, excellence, self-reliance, individual responsibility and unalienable rights are far from their petty, empty minds.
THE LEGACY OF DEMOCRAT PRESIDENTS AND THE RISE OF POGRESSIVISM
Every Democrat President since Woodrow Wilson has led America closer and closer to a socialist nation, all the while disrespecting the work of the Founding Fathers in their pursuit of individual freedom. They have continually violated constitutional safeguards for individual liberty. Wilson’s policies “reflected a deep commitment to the humanization of the industrial system and laid the foundation for the modern welfare state.” If you thought that universal health insurance was a new idea, think again. President Theodore Roosevelt had proposed it and Woodrow Wilson attempted to pass it, unsuccessfully. “Wilson’s New Freedom initiative did much to extend the power of the federal government in social and economic affairs, and arguably paved the way for future reform programs such as the New Deal and the Great Society.” (Bold quotes from multiple sources)
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) is known for extending the great depression by several years with giant leaps into socialism, including the passage of New Deal social and subsidy programs and Social Security, which by the way, is set to run dry in 2035. “Under the National Industrial Recovery Act and the National Industrial Administration (NRA) the federal government took over certain private industries and put them under the control of the NRA. Those industries were forced to fund the NRA through taxes levied upon their businesses. It was estimated that the NRA increased the operating cost of those businesses by 40%.”
Under the Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA) “FDR promoted higher food prices by paying farmers to plow under some 10 million acres of crops and slaughter and discard some six million farm animals. This policy and subsequent programs to pay farmers for not producing, victimized the 100 million Americans who were consumers.” (Source: Cato Institute)
These were hardly free-market, constitutional solutions to economic problems. FDR just did them, with the help of a Democrat Congress. Nevertheless, he failed to pack the Supreme Court when Democrats and Republicans came out against the idea. If Biden wins, Democrats will probably try again but they will most likely fail.
Then along came President Johnson’s Great Society. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps and Head Start programs were passed during Johnson’s administration. The Civil Rights Act was filibustered by Joe Biden’s hero, KKK, black-hating Senator Robert Byrd, wherein he spoke for 14 hours and 3 minutes against the act.
Most of the southern states were against passage of the Act and put up a giant roadblock that lasted some 57 days. They were so angry with Democrat President Johnson several southern block states shifted to Republican and have remained mostly Republican ever since.
Johnson expanded the federal government’s role in education and health care as well, interfering with local control of education. Many of the issues Johnson tackled as president are still raging problems today and many were just continuations of FDR’s New Deal. Their effectiveness is still open to wide debate but it is crystal clear that Johnson’s Great Society “was the largest, most intrusive expansion of the federal government ever.” Johnson fully pulled off one of the greatest “fundamental transformations” in American history, eclipsing Woodrow Wilson and FDR. One of the negative results was the breakdown in the Black family structure and the increase in Black dependency on government. Racial strife and violence are still with us today in spite of the Civil Rights Act. It is even worse because of Democrat socialist policies and Democrat race baiting and division.
Democrat President William Jefferson Clinton once again increased not only costly social programs on the American people, he created the “President’s Commission on Sustainable Development” which had the effect of adopting an international environmental policy without that policy being debated and ratified by the U. S. Congress, as required by the U. S. Constitution. That international environmental policy was none other than the United Nations Agenda 21 accord, adopted in 1992 by over 170 nations, including being signed by our U. S. President, George H. W. Bush. Agenda 21 has infiltrated every level of environmental law, from almost every city, to the states and the federal government and has all but eliminated constitutional protections for property rights.
The core elements of Agenda 21, (or sustainable development as it is called), are economic growth, eradicating poverty, reducing inequality, social inclusion, (whatever that is) environmental protection, management of natural resources and ecosystems, including addressing climate change Private ownership of land is to be abolished and land use is to be managed by government.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
All of the above Democrat presidents focused on the collective and not the individual and yet the whole concept and foundation of America’s Constitutional Republic is based on protection by government of individual rights, as codified into law by the U. S. Constitution.
Socialist Democrats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are in the category of presidents that put their focus on the collective, which includes the poor, downtrodden, women and allegedly the racially oppressed. But they aren’t focusing on these groups for altruistic reasons. They are strictly focusing on these groups for their votes because there are more of them than there are of us. Their goal is perpetual political power by any means. If Biden gets elected, they may accomplish it. Propaganda, lies, distortions and myths are the weapons to achieve that power and they are not above fomenting racial division, class warfare, cheating, stealing, or political skullduggery, like forcing mail-in ballots in several states.
What you will get with a Biden-Harris Administration is a Democrat, Progressive, Wilson, FDR, Johnson, Clinton and Obama Administrations combined, on steroids. They will openly and blatantly finish the job that Obama started, to turn America into a socialist nation where “equality is achieved by restraint and servitude”, a nation run by power-obsessed oligarchs, aristocrats and out-of-control, un-elected bureaucrats.
But then, aren’t we already there now? The Establishment and Deep State are in control and it appears that the perpetrators within the FBI, DOJ, CIA and NSI (along with Hillary Clinton and the DNC) are going to get away with an attempted and unprecedented coup against a sitting U. S. President. It is unlikely anyone will go to jail for their crimes because America has evolved into a two-tier society, high-level political operatives who are immune from prosecution and those who are subject to the full extent of the law, like the rest of us.
The Durham Report on the attempted coup by Obama, Clinton and their cohorts, if released before the election, could change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump and show just how corrupt are Democrats. But alas, Durham doesn’t plan to release the report or issue any indictments prior to the election so we are told.
None of this would ever have happened if the American people were paying attention. The people erroneously think that they can live their lives in a protected bubble without regard to the immense power that government holds over them. The people’s total contribution and involvement to the Republic is to vote for the same guy or gal, every election cycle. Because of that, true representative government is dead.

"While Good Americans Dither, Rioters Are Taking Over"
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

“Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.” Haile Selassie, Emperor of Ethiopia 1930 - 1974
There is scarcely any distance between Democrats and the rioters, looters and arsonists because Democrats are on record for supporting, endorsing and sanctioning the rioters, looters and arsonists. By their own hand, Democrat voters are aiding and abetting the rioting, looting and arson. It is not about race, it’s all about power.
These Democrat voters are rioting in the streets ….. and good Americans do nothing!
They’re looting our stores ….. and good Americans stand by and do nothing!
They’re burning down our businesses ….. and good Americans watch and do nothing!
They’re murdering our citizens ….. and good Americans look the other way!
Large corporations are opening up their check books and donating millions of dollars to the organizations behind the rioters, looters and arsonists but the people in their ignorance won’t organize boycotts of these corporations to teach them that donating to the rioters, looters and arsonists is a loosing proposition.
While the police back down from the violence at the orders of their leaders, while the bailers let the criminals go free with no bail, while the prosecutors refuse to prosecute the crimes committed by the rioters ….. good Americans say there is nothing they can do.
The Democrat rioters, looters and arsonists have taken over our public schools and teach socialism, radical environmentalism and critical race theory while poisoning the minds of our children and teaching them to hate America ….. while good Americans do nothing! Why aren’t good Americans at school board meetings demanding objective teaching in our schools? Why aren’t parents pouring through textbooks to see what public education is teaching their children and demanding the textbooks be re-written to fit reality and truth. If the parents started reading textbooks they will be shocked and demand change. What price a child’s mind?
They have taken over our colleges where free thought, new ideas and thoughtful debate are supposed to be the hallmarks of a good education. But instead, college deans, boards, professors and staff limit all ideas and all curriculums to only Progressive (socialist) ideas while censoring any other ideas, sometimes with violence. Meanwhile, good Americans that send their kids to these dens of socialism seem oblivious to the mindset shift to Progressivism that has been taking place before their very eyes, for several generations. How can public education be any better than the teachers being taught at our liberal colleges? In fact, where did Common Core State Standards come from but from the graduates of our one-sided liberal colleges? Who writes the textbooks for public education but those educated idiots that come out of America’s liberalacademia? If only God would spare Americans the utterances and expert advice of over-educated aristocrats of higher education that throw common sense and logic to the far winds.
They’re allowing hordes of illegal aliens to swarm our country, take our jobs and burn up billions of our social service dollars with no consequences ….. and good Americans watch and do nothing. It turns out that the law only applies to the good people of America. Criminals, corrupt politicians, bureaucrats and illegal aliens are exempt from the law. Why isn’t Hillary Clinton and James Comey in jail? Why do good Americans stand for this injustice?
Many governors and mayors have established sanctuary states and cities to shield illegal aliens from deportation, while ignoring their duty to abide by federal immigrations laws. Good Americans look the other way and do nothing!
They’re using violence, looting and arson to intimidate and force government jurisdictions into de-funding the police, dismantling ICE and the Border Patrol. Many Democrat-run states and cities, like Seattle and Minneapolis, are capitulating to the rioters while the good people of America let them get away with it.
During the last several decades almost the entire news media, from print to radio to TV, along with social media has morphed into the mouthpiece for one political party, Democrats. The objectivity of the fourth estate and the social media giants has all but disappeared and the Journalism Code of Ethics “To Always Tell The Truth” is a cruel joke. Most Americans obtain the news of the day from print and electronic news sources and social media but the news they are getting is loaded with liberal bias and socialist and radical environmental gobbledygook like Climate Change and the Green New Deal. There can be no freedom if the people are not properly and accurately informed. But the people have remained silent as they watched the so-called “free press” disintegrate into the propaganda arm of the socialist Democrats.
The Democrat rioters, looters and arsonists nationalized our health care system under Obama Care. Good, law-abiding Americans lost their doctors, their health plans and their premiums doubled. Americans squabbled a little but then looked the other way. The U. S. Supreme Court decided to declare Obama Care constitutional. The liberal wing of the high Court legislated from the Bench, with Chief Justice John Robert’s help. Now the socialist Democrats and the rioters, looters and arsonists want to make matters worse by forcing Medicare For All down our collective throats. As in all government-run programs, health care costs will go up dramatically, Americans will wait longer for health care and health care services will become mediocre if not substandard. People will die under Medicare For All while they wait for service, just like the thousands of veterans that have died under another government-run health care system, the Veteran’s Administration.
The rioters, looter and arsonists, thus the Democrats, now own you. They intimidate and threaten Americans. The politicians give into the rioter’s radical demands. The man with no mind, Joe Biden, and a mad, angry, racist black woman, Kamala Harris, are their champions. Radicalism is their mission. Subjugation of the masses is their goal. Globalism and radical environmentalism are their Gods. They have become and are the “traitor within” that Marcus Tullius Cicero wrote about in his speech to the Roman Senate in 42 BC. Sure you’ve read it before but it bears repeating.
“A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city.”
“But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.”
“For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.”
“He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the plague.”
Now, the traitors have come out of the closet and are open and blatant in their demands. They are “appealing to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.” They no longer “wear the face and garments of their victims,” and openly seek their victim’s demise by whatever means.
Democrats and rioters, looter and arsonists are the traitors to American principles of individual freedom and God-given unalienable rights. They want to replace these principles and values with failed political systems that demand pet-like loyalty and obedience to the oligarchs and aristocrats. They spit on and burn our flag. They kneel when the national anthem is played. They demean our motivation for achievement, excellence and a strong work ethic. They say that America is hopelessly flawed and must be torn down and rebuilt according to the Democrat rioters’ demands. They turn everything into some form of racism. They say that all Whites are racists but Blacks are pure as the driven snow. The news media echoes their voices of evil and treason. Their weapon to insure loyalty and obedience are propaganda, violence, intimidation, the gun, the sword and the torch, tactics that Hitler employed that resulted in the deaths of over 50,000,000 soldiers, civilians and Jews.
These Democrat rioters, looters and arsonists will not go quietly into the night if we ask them nicely. They are the bully on the street that only backs down when presented with a greater force. They are the embodiment of evil. They are the enemy of and traitor to all that is good about America. Yet good Americans stand by and watch the carnage and destruction without lifting a finger.
A few Americans are standing tall. The Oath Keepers are in Louisville to hold the Democrat rioters, looters and arsonists at bay. Armed men and women in Coeur d’alene, Idaho told ANTIFA where to get off. A young man in Kenosha, Wisconsin, who stood up to the rioters and shot three of them in self-defense, is now facing many years in jail. A St. Louis couple is facing felony charges for protecting their home with guns, against trespassing rioters. Both cases charging individuals for defending their life and property are justice turned on its head.
But this is not enough to stop the violent traitors. It will take the collective outrage of millions of all those “good Americans” if peace will once again be visited open our cities. Nothing less will stop the Democrat rioters, bullies and traitors. The ballot box is the first place to start. Re-elect Donald Trump to a second term. Demonstrated action against violence by millions of good Americans is the second place. Organize in large groups and protect your cities, with guns if necessary. If you don’t, the bullies and traitors win. The police can’t do it all.
Americans gave birth to freedom, tamed a continent and became the most powerful voice for peace on the planet. None are more generous than Americans, none more creative and industrious. Putting down a few violent nut cases should seem like child’s play, that is of course if Americans haven’t turned to jelly in their bellies.
If evil persists it is because good men and women dithered.

"When Will Democrats Finally Get Tired
Of Voting Democrat?"
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

“There is only one thing that gives me hope as a Republican, and that is the Democrats. It's going to be hard to do a worse job running America than the Republicans have, but if anybody can do it, it's the Democrats.” P. J. O'Rourke, contemporary political satirist
“My party, right or wrong, my party.” I was born a Democrat. I was raised a Democrat and by God, come Hell or High Water, I’m going to vote Democrat, even if the party platform is a socialist manifest. The same goes for those raised as Republicans. “My party, right or wrong, my party” is the mindset of most American voters, on either side of the aisle, with the exception of the Independent voter. Unfortunately, most Americans are afflicted with this mindless party blindness. We cover this human phenomenon in our article entitled “The Little Black Box Theory.”
One party (Republicans) believes in the founding principles of America and individual freedom and tries to be true to those principles, albeit haltingly. Unfortunately, the other party (Democrats) is doing every thing in its power to tear down those principles of freedom and gain perpetual political power. It is that simple. The parties are all about power, never about principle. (See: “Without Adherence To Principle, There Is Chaos”)
It would be great if the two parties were equally matched, but they aren’t. The Democrat Party has been very successful in brainwashing at least three or four generations of Americans using the public school system, academia, the news media, hype, lies and propaganda. Why else would millions of millennials subscribe to Bernie Sanders socialism?
Democrats have also been successful in capturing the hearts and minds of the journalistic class and now most of the news media acts in sympathy with and advocates for the Democrat Party. That is to be expected when most of the journalistic class are products of liberal colleges. This also applies to all government employees where government bureaucracies have become an illegal fourth branch of liberal government with tremendous power to shape public policy and derail any other policy with which they don’t agree. This unconstitutional fourth branch of government is answerable to no one, least of all the voters.
A journalism student called Rush Limbaugh on Rush’s radio program one day. Rush asked him why he wanted to be a journalist and the student blurted out that “he wanted to change the world.” It obviously never occurred to the student that journalism was supposed to be an objective view of reality and to report that reality accurately. Where did the student get that idea? From the liberal college he was attending ….. or his parents.
So why do Democrats vote Democrat given what may be the irreparable damage that Democrats have wrought upon America and the current epidemic of violence, looting and burning that has taken over many of our cities under the false flag of Black Lives Matter?
Fiscally, Democrats have ballooned the national debt and the debt of many states and cities run by Democrats such that the debt is now un-payable, all caused by run-away local, state and federal government spending. In 1974 the U. S. budget was $216.5 Billion. In 2019, just 45 years later, the budget had risen by 1733% to $3.752,609 Trillion. That’s not gross negligence it’s criminal. Why would Democrats vote for this kind of governance?
In the Democrat’s attempts to gain political power, they have made promises to constituency groups for votes that far exceed the taxing resources of the area population, leading them into massive deficits and an exponentially exploding national debt.
In May of 2019 Forbes Magazine warned of a $5.2 Trillion Government Pension debt that threatens to overwhelm state budgets, a debt built up by Democrats to buy votes. $5.2 Trillion is 25% of America’s Gross Domestic Product. Now they want to be bailed out by the American taxpayer for their fiscal irresponsibility and the U.S. House of Representatives under speaker Nancy Pelosi (a Democrat) wants to give it to them, on the backs of the taxpayer. Fortunately for the taxpayer, the Senate has stopped Pelosi in her tracks.
Democrats have been trying for over 100 years to create a monolithic society where only their vision of a socialist utopia is allowed. Their vision is the complete dismantling of the U. S. Constitution, to be replaced by a Karl Marx socialist government. Their vision is the antithesis of and in direct conflict with a free society, individual freedom, capitalism and free markets.
Under the Progressive ideology, their alleged goals were morality, economic reform, efficiency and social welfare. It didn’t take long before these goals morphed into socialism as they attracted more and more of the population to their ideology by buying votes from naïve’ Americans, using the public’s money. In the last several decades Democrats have become more strident and militant to achieve those goals, including riots, looting and arson, or the threats thereof.
When will normal, reasonable and prudent Democrats see through this false ideology and voting Democrats into power that want to de-fund the police and allow rioters to go free?
When will normal, reasonable and prudent Democrats get tired of open borders, sanctuary cities and a litany of violent crimes, drug trafficking and human smuggling committed by illegal aliens on the legal population? Why aren’t Democrats angry over the lost jobs and the heavy financial burden that illegal aliens put on legal Americans for education, medical and social services and housing?
Black Democrats are calling all white people racist and guilty of white privilege. You white Democrats, how does that make you feel? Why would you support a party that calls you a racist? Black Democrats (most blacks are Democrats but that may be changing in 2020) want reparations (money and lots of it) for slavery and yet every American living today is not guilty of enslaving blacks. No Blacks living today are slaves. In fact, Blacks today are living much better than their African cousins in Africa. There is no systemic racism in America as Democrats would have you believe. Further, most white people are not racists. If you are white, why on God’s green earth would you vote Democrat? (See: Yes, White Men Built America. It’s A Fact”)
The Democrat party would have you believe that man is destroying the earth and creating irreversible climate change through his CO2 emissions. They make Republicans, Democrats and Independents feel guilty for their CO2 contributions and therefore must pay dearly for their transgressions. But their so-called climate change science is a false assertion. (See: “Climate”) They say we must in-act the very expensive Green New Deal, which is essentially the replacement of fossil fuel energy with wind and solar energy, a physical and financial impossibility. They say we must go to electricity for our cars and trucks and yet the energy to charge the batteries in an electric car comes from coal, natural gas, nuclear and hydropower facilities. Without fossil fuel energy, electric cars and trucks are useless, not to mention that it takes fossil fuel energy to build an electric car, or a wind turbine, or a solar panel.
But the environmentalists won’t let us build any more coal, or nuclear-fired power plants, or hydroelectric dams. Without massive taxpayer-funded subsidies wind and solar energy are not economically viable. Are Democrat voters incapable of seeing the absurdity of these policies? It would appear so. Or could it be that four generations of Progressive brainwashing have made them this way?
Why would a Democrat voter vote for a party whose presidential nominee is corrupt to the core, a man that has enriched himself and his family while being just one heart beat away from becoming the most powerful man in the world? Every member of Joe Biden’s extended family has profited off of Biden’s open and notorious, pay-to-play corruption. (See: “The Senate Ukraine-Biden Report”)
The Democrat Party is the party of the mob. It is the party of violence, rioting, burning and looting. It is the party of irrational emotion. It is the party of fear and intimidation. The Democrat Party is the party of usurious taxes and crushing regulations. It is the party of obstruction. The Democrat Party is a bully child with total lack of intellect, logic and reason. The Democrat Party is a speeding rocket, spiraling through the air with no guidance mechanisms. Why would a normal, reasonable and prudent person ever vote for such a party?
But worse than that, the Democrat Party is intent upon destroying the foundations of individual freedom for which millions of brave Americans laid down their lives to preserve. Their weapon of choice is a mindless mob of brainwashed zombies using fear, guilt, intimidation and threats. Their leader is a past-his-prime socialist who never had an original thought ever enter his mind. At best he is a shill, an empty shell and a Trojan Horse.
One of our readers summed it up this way:
“I’ve followed Harris for over 2 years and she is a psycho and Biden is corrupt and nuts, completely. If these dirt bags get elected and capture the Senate, Americans will get what they deserve. Biden doesn't have enough brains to plug in an electric toothbrush, and Harris is a flip-flopping, back-stabbing, power-grubbing fruit cake! Trump is no panacea, but he beats the opposition hands down!"
The schism and racial divide that Democrats have inflicted on America in the name of obtaining absolute power and a monolithic society, could easily pit the flawed ideology of Progressivism/socialism against the unstoppable powers of freedom, in a bloody civil war. In such an event, Democrats alone would be responsible for the carnage, misery, pain and death suffered by the general population and open America up to the military ambitions of one or both of the two other super powers.
So with all this irrefutable evidence in mind “When Will Democrats Finally Get Tired of Voting Democrat” and reject its evil freedom-killing intent.

“My party, right or wrong, my party.” I was born a Democrat. I was raised a Democrat and by God, come Hell or High Water, I’m going to vote Democrat, even if the party platform is a socialist manifest. The same goes for those raised as Republicans. “My party, right or wrong, my party” is the mindset of most American voters, on either side of the aisle, with the exception of the Independent voter. Unfortunately, most Americans are afflicted with this mindless party blindness. We cover this human phenomenon in our article entitled “The Little Black Box Theory.”
One party (Republicans) believes in the founding principles of America and individual freedom and tries to be true to those principles, albeit haltingly. Unfortunately, the other party (Democrats) is doing every thing in its power to tear down those principles of freedom and gain perpetual political power. It is that simple. The parties are all about power, never about principle. (See: “Without Adherence To Principle, There Is Chaos”)
It would be great if the two parties were equally matched, but they aren’t. The Democrat Party has been very successful in brainwashing at least three or four generations of Americans using the public school system, academia, the news media, hype, lies and propaganda. Why else would millions of millennials subscribe to Bernie Sanders socialism?
Democrats have also been successful in capturing the hearts and minds of the journalistic class and now most of the news media acts in sympathy with and advocates for the Democrat Party. That is to be expected when most of the journalistic class are products of liberal colleges. This also applies to all government employees where government bureaucracies have become an illegal fourth branch of liberal government with tremendous power to shape public policy and derail any other policy with which they don’t agree. This unconstitutional fourth branch of government is answerable to no one, least of all the voters.
A journalism student called Rush Limbaugh on Rush’s radio program one day. Rush asked him why he wanted to be a journalist and the student blurted out that “he wanted to change the world.” It obviously never occurred to the student that journalism was supposed to be an objective view of reality and to report that reality accurately. Where did the student get that idea? From the liberal college he was attending ….. or his parents.
So why do Democrats vote Democrat given what may be the irreparable damage that Democrats have wrought upon America and the current epidemic of violence, looting and burning that has taken over many of our cities under the false flag of Black Lives Matter?
Fiscally, Democrats have ballooned the national debt and the debt of many states and cities run by Democrats such that the debt is now un-payable, all caused by run-away local, state and federal government spending. In 1974 the U. S. budget was $216.5 Billion. In 2019, just 45 years later, the budget had risen by 1733% to $3.752,609 Trillion. That’s not gross negligence it’s criminal. Why would Democrats vote for this kind of governance?
In the Democrat’s attempts to gain political power, they have made promises to constituency groups for votes that far exceed the taxing resources of the area population, leading them into massive deficits and an exponentially exploding national debt.
In May of 2019 Forbes Magazine warned of a $5.2 Trillion Government Pension debt that threatens to overwhelm state budgets, a debt built up by Democrats to buy votes. $5.2 Trillion is 25% of America’s Gross Domestic Product.

"Would You, Will You ….. ?"
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

In a significant departure from our usual article, from time to time we extend our literary skills to poetry. Some might think it corny. But it’s just a different form of communication and expression. Each is totally relevant to our current situation. If you find them relevant, please feel free to share them with others.
“Would You, Will You ….. ?
By Ron Ewart
Originally penned in November 2012
© Copyright 2020 – All Rights Reserved
Would you be a slaveIn your own land
When once you were free?
Would you bow down
To bureaucratic or political tyrants
Rather than defending liberty?
Would you see your children
Condemned to slavery
When there was a chance
You could save them?
Would you deny them victory?
Would you deny your family freedom?
Would you let your country slip deeper
Into the jaws of debauchery?
Would you let the politicians force you
Into the dungeons of abject slavery?
Would you hide in the shadows
When your duty was quite clear?
Would you shrink from the battle
Because you are paralyzed with fear?
Is it true you are just a coward
And afraid to be free?
Do you tremble in the darkness
Hiding in a corner, shaking uncontrollably?
Will you instead gather up your stoicism
And join the fearless in our midst?
It’s time to save America from socialism
While shaking a determined fist?
Will you reach down in your very soul
And summon up your courage?
Will you cast your freedom ship afloat
And send her from her moorage?
Will you use the intellect God gave you,
And apply it to the fight?
Will you heed the haunting cry
To set our country right?
The question always remains,
Would you … or will you?
Your choice is to be in chains
Or live in liberty like all free men do.
So we ask each freedom-loving American,
Will you settle for chains and slavery?
Or will you get up off your can,
And engage in the fight for liberty?
Free Americans Are In A Fight For Their Very LivesThey will need all the strength and courage they can muster if freedom is to be preserved.
"Life is a fight, a fight to stay alive and a fight to keep others from taking your life, your property and your liberty from you!" Ron Ewart
Very powerful, influential and rich people are doing everything in their power to defeat Trump and thereby reduce the free men and women of America to slaves of the elite class, the aristocracy. Most of these people made their billions as a direct result of capitalism and free markets. (See: “Billionaire Backers”)
Now these denizens of high tech and finance are using their billions to tear that system down by overwhelming it and erasing any other differing view points, together with lying, cheating, election fraud, censorship, stealing, fear, intimidation and violence. They will do ANYTHING to win!
The news media is aligned with these very rich and powerful people (Progressives) and are working against Trump as well.
Academia is hopelessly in the tank for Progressive causes and is working against Trump while poisoning the minds of American college students and censoring any other ideology.
Our public schools have been hijacked by Progressives and for several generations have been indoctrinating our children in the ways of Progressivism, collectivism, social justice, environmental equity, climate change, systemic racism, critical race theory and white privilege. Individual freedom and unalienable rights are the farthest thing from the minds of these super rich aristocrats who believe their way is the only way and like all megalomaniacs and bullies, they intend to shove it down your throats. If you don’t like it, they will roll over you, embarrass you, intimidate you, threaten you and make you very afraid of what they can do to you. You have every reason to be afraid.
The forces lined up against our Constitutional Republic, Donald Trump and the free people of America, are formidable and may be undefeatable by peaceful means. You can let them run all over you, or you can put up an impenetrable roadblock to their ambitions. It will be up to millions of patriotic Americans to use whatever force is necessary to vanquish not only the aristocrats, (the establishment and deep state) but to destroy their false and fraudulent ideology if an exceptional and free America is to survive. It is we that should be intimidating “them.” (See: “Nothing Will Change Until the People Act”)
Will WE do ANYTHING to win? That is a tall order and it will require millions of courageous men and women to call upon “The Life Force Within Them.”

“THE LIFE FORCE WITHIN ME”
By Ron Ewart
Originally penned in January 2001
Slightly revised in May 2020
© Copyright 2020 – All Rights Reserved.
In all living things a life force resides.
The will to survive is paramount.
Living is a battle and you have to take sides,
For to do otherwise, the soul that is you will not count.
No matter what life has in store for me,
Each new obstacle shall harden my resolve.
Be it fortress, or mountain, or just a large tree,
The life force within me will never dissolve.
Should an event cripple me and leave me with one leg.
I shall hop forever if that’s what is demanded of me.
Should somehow I be left with no legs at all,
I will find the strength to slither or crawl.
If I finally end up with no legs or arms,
I will use my teeth to keep up the pace.
When my eyes will no longer show me the way
I will use my ears or the nerves in my face.
As long as there is breath in my body.
As long as the thoughts in my mind are clear.
I shall endure and forever press forward
Without hesitation, reservation, or fear.
For my destiny is not getting to some temporary place,
Where I cannot stay for but a moment or a smile.
For everyone knows it’s not getting there, it’s the race,
And it’s the life force within me that makes it worthwhile.
When nothing is left but a shallow breath,
And my heart beats with a dying sound.
My mind will look skyward as I wait for death
As the life force within me seeks higher ground.
And when finally the light has gone out of my soul.
I will allow the winds to carry me far.
Because the life force within me has me on a roll,
And I dare not let go on my way to a star.
Perhaps by sharing these poems we will have spawned a small measure of inspiration and motivation to those who take the time to read and digest them.
In every war there is a winner and a loser. If Conservatives can’t or won’t fight for what is right and to preserve freedom, then Conservatives are hopeless losers. We’re not talking about the politician Conservatives. They’re no help at all. We’re talking about the Conservative masses.

"You Caused It. You’re Guilty. Shut Up and Comply"
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.
© Copyright Sunday, September 13, 2020 - All Rights Reserved
“Guilt is cancer. Guilt will confine you, torture you and destroy you as a [human]. It's a black wall. It's a thief.” Dave Grohl, contemporary American singer and songwriter
“Yep. You Caused It. You’re Guilty. Now shut up and comply!” No, you’re not guilty. Where are the American mavericks that will tell the judge, jury, or government to go to Hell?
Of all the emotions that control human behavior, guilt, fear and anger are the most destructive. Guilt can make us change our behavior for the good or bad. Fear can stop us in our tracks. Anger can make us act in an uncontrollable manner, where reason, logic and common sense are absent. Government has mastered the use of guilt, fear and subterfuge to manipulate and control the people.
In the late 1920’s President Hoover retained the University of Chicago and Harvard University to conduct a study on how to manipulate the masses through their subconscious minds. Both universities were at the top of the curve in studying social studies and industrial psychology to determine a “satisfactory structure for society.”
The Rockefeller Foundation was supposed to have funded the study since John D. Rockefeller was the founder of the University of Chicago. The Rockefeller Foundation was up to its neck in funding psychological studies and creating organizations to work with universities and government for the purposes of controlling how the government works, employee work standards and planning public policy initiatives like the New Deal and Social Security. George Soros is doing the same thing today.
All this work by Rockefeller, the universities and the government was the seed of a growing and powerful centralized government. The Great Depression was just the emergency that the Progressives were looking for to increase federal government control of America and its citizens and to create a “satisfactory structure for society”, socialism. The American people were never asked if that is what they wanted. FDR just did it!
World War 2 was the next emergency used to subjugate the American population even though it was a necessary evil. The Coronavirus of 2020 was the third major emergency that opened the door to rapidly increasing federal government and state control of the people. There have been many small emergencies since the Great Depression that have accomplished the same thing. Even before, the 16th Amendment from 1913 was a form of manipulation and control. Americans are heavily manipulated, controlled, regulated, directed and subjugated but they don’t seem to be aware of it, much less care. Today’s society is a far cry from what the Founders envisioned.
Why would a just government, built on constitutional principles, want to manipulate or control the people of a free country through their subconscious minds? The answer is abundantly obvious. The last thing that a powerful central government needs are individuals thinking independently for themselves, proclaiming they are free and resisting government intervention in their lives. The first thing that totalitarian or strong centralized governments do is to coral the independent thinkers, take their livelihoods and guns away, lock them up, starve them, or re-program them to be compliant government robots, as the Chinese Communist Party is doing to the Muslims of Western China and what Stalin did to the people of Ukraine.
The reader may ask, how is the government manipulating and controlling me? They are doing it in so many subtle and not-so-subtle ways, from birth to death. Most Americans are totally unaware that they are being controlled and manipulated.
And it is not only government that is trying to manipulate you. Every single TV advertisement you see is an attempt to manipulate you and get you to buy their product, with a barrage of one-half second hypnotic images. When the ad says you will save “X” number of dollars, it is a lie because you aren’t saving anything. The price is the price. The alleged “saving” is a mirage to con you into thinking you are getting a better deal. And don’t forget the small print at the bottom of the ad where all the negative stuff is contained. There is no way that anyone could read the ultra small print in the time frame the ad is aired.
But the worst manipulator is the government. Public school socialist, environmental and one-world-government indoctrination is manipulation of the worst kind because it is aimed at our most impressionable and vulnerable in our society, our children. Children have no defense against brainwashing by government and special interests, unless their parents intervene. Sadly, after three generations of indoctrination, the parents have been just as brainwashed as their kids so they see no need to intervene.
America’s public school system is designed to force-feed a Progressive (socialist, environmental, one-world) agenda down their pretty little throats and make them compliant to whatever the government wants or demands. “Yes master! Whatever you say master!” It’s disgusting!
Then there is the “Climate Change” fraud, alias, man-caused global warming. One only need Google “Climate Change” to find out how government, academia and social media have manipulated and propagandized the subject. All of the articles in the first three or four pages that Google identifies, are designed to squelch any climate deniers even though there are mountains of credible scientific studies and peer reviewed papers that disprove man-caused global warming. You won’t find those studies and papers on Google, or in your local newspaper. But you will find them at this link: (See “Climate”)
Climate Change propaganda is everywhere. It is in our schools and colleges. Our kids are brainwashed in it. The news media echoes the climate change mantra incessantly. It appears in hundreds of national geographic documentaries. Forest fires are being blamed on climate change.
Corporations have even jumped on the bandwagon. Amazon just named the new hockey arena in Seattle “Climate Pledge Arena” and has allegedly pledged $2 Billion to be net zero CO2 emissions by 2040. It is purportedly buying 100,000 electric delivery vehicles ….. with electricity supplied by fossil fuels.
The planet may be warming but man’s contribution to global warming (CO2) is negligible as compared to the other elements that control climate, such as the Sun, cloud cover, radiation, water vapor, the earth’s tilt, wobble and orbit, distance from the Sun, volcanic eruptions, forest fires, ocean currents, etc. There are so many variables controlling climate it is virtually impossible to accurately model and predict that man is the cause. (See: “3.4% x 3.62% x 2%”)
Why does government want to con you about Climate Change? So that they can manipulate and control your behavior and extract huge sums of money from you to fix a problem that man didn’t cause. It’s never about the environment. It is always about power and control. If you don’t believe their propaganda and lies, they do everything in their power to discredit you.
Government and the environmentalists use the environment as a weapon to relieve you of your rights and constitutional freedoms. Government and the environmentalists make you feel guilty for damage to the planet and by God you are going to pay. “Comply or else.”
We used to be a nation and people of innovation, invention and ingenuity. But almost everything we invent now or want to build to improve the human condition or provide a product that serves a need, is either restricted beyond profitability, or a law passed to make it illegal. Now everything is about conserving or doing without. Clean nuclear and hydropower are off limits. Building dams that provide electric power, irrigation and flood control, are a no, no but tearing down dams is all the rage. What for? So that Indians, a very small minority, can increase their 50% share of the salmon catch. But building taxpayer-subsidized, inefficient wind and solar farms is OK.
Unfortunately, most Americans have depended upon and given into government for so long, they have forgotten how to do for themselves and have abdicated their right to freedom. They have become pawns and slaves without even knowing it.
They have allowed violence and rioting to take place with no consequence. They have allowed our politicians to pass unconstitutional law and look the other way. They have allowed over-educated, psychological idiots to take over the public school system and teach anti-American, racist non-sense, all with the people’s permission. They have allowed government to squander their money and criminally increase the national deficit and debt, but do nothing. The have allowed government to divide them by race.
They have allowed our borders to be overrun by illegal aliens that we taxpayers have to fund, but remain quiet. The people have allowed government to nationalize their health care without a whimper. They have allowed three major social media companies to dictate political discourse and censor conservative ideas, but do nothing to stop it. They have given into the loss of their freedoms to almighty government and special interest groups that hold no allegiance to individual freedom and un-alienable, God-given rights, much less the Constitution. For the sake of a few pieces of silver they have prostrated themselves before government and bow to its supreme power.
The people have been told that they are guilty of just about everything and therefore must comply with all government edicts. They are scared to death by government and environmental or public health pronouncements of dire consequences if the people don’t give into and capitulate to government mandates.
As an 83-year old American, we stand in disgust of what we see and what millions of Americans have become. At one time Americans were fighters that gave birth to freedom, tied two oceans together with the iron horse and tamed a continent. In uncommon courage and at great sacrifice they won the freedom for over a billion people in two world wars. Americans are a generous people beyond a fault.
But we have become weak and docile, anxious to avoid a fight, even if that fight is brought to our doorstep, as it is today in cities all over America. Now we engage in drug and alcohol dependency and contemplations of suicide. Many are racked with depression. We watch senseless nonsense on our TV and movie screens. Because of our distractions and fear, we won’t lift a finger in our own defense or the defense of freedom itself, even while the socialist enemy is pounding on the front gate with designs to relieve us of our life, liberty and property.
What is to become of the people of America? Will they listen to the snake oil salesman that utters false promises of a socialist utopia? Will they capitulate to the siren call of drugs and alcohol addiction? Will they give up their honesty, morality and values for dependency on government? Will they become immersed in the debauchery of irredeemable entertainment? Will they lose their connection to a strong work ethic? Will they give up their faith? Will they abdicate their freedom for convenience and government largess? Will they allow government or political parties to divide them by race, creed, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or color?
We can give into “You did it! You’re guilty! Shut up and Comply!,” but we don’t have to.
There is nothing in nature or the law that says we have to bow down to self-induced or compulsory enslavement. The only answer to the approaching loss of freedom is REBELLION ….. on a massive scale. But do enough of us have the courage, or is this author just blowing into the East wind without effect?

“Yep. You Caused It. You’re Guilty. Now shut up and comply!” No, you’re not guilty. Where are the American mavericks that will tell the judge, jury, or government to go to Hell?
Of all the emotions that control human behavior, guilt, fear and anger are the most destructive. Guilt can make us change our behavior for the good or bad. Fear can stop us in our tracks. Anger can make us act in an uncontrollable manner, where reason, logic and common sense are absent. Government has mastered the use of guilt, fear and subterfuge to manipulate and control the people.
In the late 1920’s President Hoover retained the University of Chicago and Harvard University to conduct a study on how to manipulate the masses through their subconscious minds. Both universities were at the top of the curve in studying social studies and industrial psychology to determine a “satisfactory structure for society.”
The Rockefeller Foundation was supposed to have funded the study since John D. Rockefeller was the founder of the University of Chicago. The Rockefeller Foundation was up to its neck in funding psychological studies and creating organizations to work with universities and government for the purposes of controlling how the government works, employee work standards and planning public policy initiatives like the New Deal and Social Security. George Soros is doing the same thing today.
All this work by Rockefeller, the universities and the government was the seed of a growing and powerful centralized government. The Great Depression was just the emergency that the Progressives were looking for to increase federal government control of America and its citizens and to create a “satisfactory structure for society”, socialism. The American people were never asked if that is what they wanted. FDR just did it!
World War 2 was the next emergency used to subjugate the American population even though it was a necessary evil. The Coronavirus of 2020 was the third major emergency that opened the door to rapidly increasing federal government and state control of the people. There have been many small emergencies since the Great Depression that have accomplished the same thing. Even before, the 16th Amendment from 1913 was a form of manipulation and control. Americans are heavily manipulated, controlled, regulated, directed and subjugated but they don’t seem to be aware of it, much less care. Today’s society is a far cry from what the Founders envisioned.
Why would a just government, built on constitutional principles, want to manipulate or control the people of a free country through their subconscious minds? The answer is abundantly obvious. The last thing that a powerful central government needs are individuals thinking independently for themselves, proclaiming they are free and resisting government intervention in their lives. The first thing that totalitarian or strong centralized governments do is to coral the independent thinkers, take their livelihoods and guns away, lock them up, starve them, or re-program them to be compliant government robots, as the Chinese Communist Party is doing to the Muslims of Western China and what Stalin did to the people of Ukraine.
The reader may ask, how is the government manipulating and controlling me? They are doing it in so many subtle and not-so-subtle ways, from birth to death. Most Americans are totally unaware that they are being controlled and manipulated.
And it is not only government that is trying to manipulate you. Every single TV advertisement you see is an attempt to manipulate you and get you to buy their product, with a barrage of one-half second hypnotic images. When the ad says you will save “X” number of dollars, it is a lie because you aren’t saving anything. The price is the price.

"Will The Bureaucracy Be
The Downfall of American Freedom?"
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

“One of the greatest threats to mankind today is that the world may be choked by an explosively pervading but well camouflaged bureaucracy.” Norman Borlaug, (1914 to 2009) An international agronomist
Most Americans have no idea as to the scope and power of the federal, state and local bureaucracies. Although all bureaucracies grow by their vary nature, local government has grown the most. From 1990 to 2010 federal government employment has stayed relatively steady. In the same period, state government has grown by about 1,000,000 employees, or a growth rate of almost 24%. Local government on the other hand has grown by 3,700,000 employees, or a whopping 34.3%. The growth rate is directly related to the passage of more laws and the explosive growth in social services.
In the Open the Books Oversight Report entitled “Mapping the Swamp” that analyzed federal employment in 2016, the following observations were made:
1.The federal government pays its disclosed workforce $1 million per minute, $66 million per hour, and $524 million per day. In FY2016, the federal government disclosed 1.97 million employees at a cash compensation cost of $136.3 billion.
2.Over a six-year period (FY2010-2016), the number of federal employees making $200,000 or more has increased by 165 percent; those making $150,000 or more has grown by 60 percent; and those making more than $100,000 has increased by 37 percent.
3.On average, federal employees are given 10 federal holidays, 13 sick days, and 20 vacation days per year. If each employee used 13 sick days and took 20 vacation days in addition to the 10 federal holidays, it would cost taxpayers an estimated $22.6 billion annually.
4.In FY2016, a total 406,960 employees made six-figure incomes – that’s roughly one in five disclosed federal employees. Furthermore, 29,852 federal employees out-earned each of the 50 state governors receiving more than $190,823.
5.At 78 out of the 122 independent agencies and departments we studied, the average employee compensation exceeded $100,000 in FY2016.
Are federal employees paid more than those in the private sector? You bet! The Heritage Foundation found that federal employees make on average 22% more than private sector employees for similar work. The American Enterprise Institute determined that federal employees made 14% more. It is no doubt somewhere in between these two numbers.
But bureaucratic wages are not the real story. The real story is buried in just how much power do federal, state and local bureaucracies have in passing laws and shaping public policy. The answer is disturbing.
The first thing to remember is that most, if not all, government employees are products of the liberal college system. When they enter employment with the government they already have a built in, left leaning bias. It is from that left-of-center prism, that they conduct the business of their particular agency. Many times that bias interferes and obstructs the wishes and mandates of our elected representatives. The federal bureaucracy has worked against Trump and his policies since he was inaugurated in 2017.
Although this is not a new phenomenon, it has grown more pronounced in the last several decades as the gap between conservatism and liberalism continues to widen. From this, the DEEP STATE was born.
The second thing to remember is that 36.1% of state and local government workers are represented by unions. In contrast, only 6.5% of private workers are represented by unions. This union representation gives government workers exceptional bargaining power in setting salaries and benefits. In fact, it gives these unions the power to blackmail the taxpayer for greater wages and benefits by threatening to strike if their demands are not met. As a result government employee pensions funds are criminally under funded. Since almost every American is required to do business with government employees, the average American is held hostage by government employee union demands.
But then in late May of 2020 a black man was killed by a white policeman in Minneapolis, Minnesota and the nation exploded in violence, rioting, looting and arson. The term “Black Lives Matter” (BLM) becomes a rallying cry for the millennials (the 18 to 34 crowd) and these young and dumb kids take to the streets in large protests and destruction of lives and property in major cities across America. Suddenly “Black Lives Matter” and “white privilege” blossom into a full-fledged religious cult that infects our every day lives, including our institutions and corporate boardrooms.
Corporations, in a gushing display of guilt and protectionism, donate huge amounts of cash to “Black Lives Matter” and similar organizations.
Democrat politicians start donating to the rioters through their surrogates, the “Black Lives Matter” organization, the Black Business Collective and “Claim the Block” group.
Fringe socialist organizations plan new curriculums for public schools to teach kids that America is a racist country but only white Americans are racist. The New York Times “1619 Project” was designed to do just that. 1619 refers to the year that black slaves were allegedly introduced to the North American continent.
Attempts to rub out American history are made by tearing down statues in cities nationwide. Textbooks are being revised to fit the “Black Lives Matter” narrative. Our kids are being brainwashed in our public schools in the liberal ideology and systemic racism and have been for several decades. Common Core State Standards was just an extension of this social justice brainwashing. Public schools have become institutions of indoctrination, not objective learning centers. But then why not, most of our teachers are also products of liberal colleges.
Socialist Democrat mayors and governors show their sympathy for BLM by looking the other way when rioting, looting and arson are taking place. They tell the police to stand down and won’t authorize the use of the National Guard. As a result, the violence grows and grows. Some mayors are allowing “Black Lives Matter” to be painted on city streets with taxpayer-funded paint and labor, in direct violation of the Hatch Act.
Democrat prosecutors refuse to prosecute those violent individuals arrested for attacking police, looting and arson.
But worse than all that, the entire local, state and federal bureaucracy are forcing white government employees into cult indoctrination, re-education seminars to re-train the “White Privilege” out of them. These re-education seminars are being forced on white employees only, under what is called, “Critical Race Theory” or CRT. It is being introduced to public education all across America as well. The following is an abstract of CRT. It should turn your stomach.
“The emergence of Critical Race Theory marked an important point in the history of racial politics in the legal academy and the broader conversation about race and racism in the United States. More recently, CRT has proven an important analytic tool in the field of education, offering critical perspectives on race, and the causes, consequences and manifestations of race, racism, inequity, and the dynamics of power and privilege in schooling. This groundbreaking anthology is the first to pull together both the foundational writings in the field and more recent scholarship on the cultural and racial politics of schooling. A comprehensive introduction provides an overview of the history and tenets of CRT in education. Each section then seeks to explicate ideological contestation of race in education and to create new, alternative accounts. In so doing, this landmark publication not only documents the progress to date of the CRT movement, it acts to further spur developments in education.”
Christopher Rufo, adjunct fellow at the Pacific Research Institute, told Tucker Carlson the other night on Tucker’s nationwide broadcast that:
"It's absolutely astonishing how critical race theory has pervaded every institution in the federal government. What I have discovered is that critical race theory has become, in essence, the default ideology of the federal bureaucracy and is now being weaponized against the American people."
Rufo claimed, the Treasury Department recently hired a diversity trainer who said the U.S. was a fundamentally White supremacist country, and that White people upheld the system of racism in the nation. In another case, Sandia National Laboratories, which designs nuclear weapons, sent its white male executives to a mandatory training in which they, according to Rufo, wrote letters apologizing to women and people of color. The matter is so serious, Rufo added, that Trump should immediately issue an executive order and stamp out this destructive, divisive, pseudoscientific ideology at its root.
Evidently, Trump got the message and has directed the Office of Management and Budget to crack down on federal agency anti-racism training, calling it “divisive and anti-American propaganda.”
What happens when an idea, or an ideology, infiltrates the huge power base that is the government bureaucracy? What happens is that all decisions made by that bureaucracy are “colored’ by that idea or ideology. Black Lives Matter becomes a battle cry and a religious hymn. White people are racists and therefore bad and must be re-trained. The idea or ideology blossoms into full fledged mass hysteria, purposely manufactured by one party for purely political gain.
What does this sound like? It sounds like what the Chinese Communist Party is doing to the Uighur Muslims in western China, without the concentration camp barracks and bob wire. The Uighurs are being forced into labor camps where they are required to listen to lectures and sing hymns praising the Chinese Communist Party. What is difficult to understand is why white Americans, who are being subjected to this non-sense, (de-programmed) don’t get up and walk out of these seminars?
All this Black Lives Matter and White Privilege hysteria eerily parallels the insanity of the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 and 1693. In colonial Massachusetts, adolescent girls Abigail Williams, Betty Parris, Ann Putnam, Jr., and Elizabeth Hubbard began to have fits that were described by a minister as "beyond the power of Epileptic Fits or natural disease to effect." The events resulted in the Salem witch trials, a series of hearings, which resulted in the execution of 20 citizens and the death of five other citizens of Salem Village, Massachusetts (present day Danvers, Massachusetts) and nearby towns who were accused of practicing witchcraft. The episode is one of America's most notorious cases of mass hysteria, and it has been used in political rhetoric and popular literature as a vivid cautionary tale about the dangers of isolationism, religious extremism, false accusations and lapses in due process. (Source: Wikipedia)
Whether it is pitted windshields, Salem witch trials, Critical Race Theory, White Privilege, or Black Lives Matter, if these mass hysteria diseases infect government bureaucracies and our educational institutions and are allowed to metastasize within the system, the future of a free America is in grave doubt. Will the bureaucracy be the downfall of American freedom? That depends on whether good people will rise up en masse and purge America of suicidal ideologies and reclaim individual freedom and unalienable rights …. no matter what the cost. The German people DIDN’T and 50,000,000 people died needlessly! Will Americans follow suit?
We will conclude with this small tidbit of statistics. It took less than 3% of the population to win America’s Revolutionary War. The current government bureaucracy, at all levels, represents 5.6% of the total population.

The term “Black Lives Matter” (BLM) becomes a rallying cry for the millennials (the 18 to 34 crowd) and these young and dumb kids take to the streets in large protests and destruction of lives and property in major cities across America. Suddenly “Black Lives Matter” and “white privilege” blossom into a full-fledged religious cult that infects our every day lives, including our institutions and corporate boardrooms.
Corporations, in a gushing display of guilt and protectionism, donate huge amounts of cash to “Black Lives Matter” and similar organizations.
Democrat politicians start donating to the rioters through their surrogates, the “Black Lives Matter” organization, the Black Business Collective and “Claim the Block” group.
Fringe socialist organizations plan new curriculums for public schools to teach kids that America is a racist country but only white Americans are racist. The New York Times “1619 Project” was designed to do just that. 1619 refers to the year that black slaves were allegedly introduced to the North American continent.
Attempts to rub out American history are made by tearing down statues in cities nationwide. Textbooks are being revised to fit the “Black Lives Matter” narrative. Our kids are being brainwashed in our public schools in the liberal ideology and systemic racism and have been for several decades. Common Core State Standards was just an extension of this social justice brainwashing. Public schools have become institutions of indoctrination, not objective learning centers. But then why not, most of our teachers are also products of liberal colleges.
Socialist Democrat mayors and governors show their sympathy for BLM by looking the other way when rioting, looting and arson are taking place. They tell the police to stand down and won’t authorize the use of the National Guard. As a result, the violence grows and grows. Some mayors are allowing “Black Lives Matter” to be painted on city streets with taxpayer-funded paint and labor, in direct violation of the Hatch Act.
Democrat prosecutors refuse to prosecute those violent individuals arrested for attacking police, looting and arson.
But worse than all that, the entire local, state and federal bureaucracy are forcing white government employees into cult indoctrination, re-education seminars to re-train the “White Privilege” out of them. These re-education seminars are being forced on white employees only, under what is called, “Critical Race Theory” or CRT. It is being introduced to public education all across America as well. The following is an abstract of CRT. It should turn your stomach.
“The emergence of Critical Race Theory marked an important point in the history of racial politics in the legal academy and the broader conversation about race and racism in the United States. More recently, CRT has proven an important analytic tool in the field of education, offering critical perspectives on race, and the causes, consequences and manifestations of race, racism, inequity, and the dynamics of power and privilege in schooling. This groundbreaking anthology is the first to pull together both the foundational writings in the field and more recent scholarship on the cultural and racial politics of schooling. A comprehensive introduction provides an overview of the history and tenets of CRT in education. Each section then seeks to explicate ideological contestation of race in education and to create new, alternative accounts. In so doing, this landmark publication not only documents the progress to date of the CRT movement, it acts to further spur developments in education.”
Christopher Rufo, adjunct fellow at the Pacific Research Institute, told Tucker Carlson the other night on Tucker’s nationwide broadcast that:
"It's absolutely astonishing how critical race theory has pervaded every institution in the federal government. What I have discovered is that critical race theory has become, in essence, the default ideology of the federal bureaucracy and is now being weaponized against the American people."
Rufo claimed, the Treasury Department recently hired a diversity trainer who said the U.S. was a fundamentally White supremacist country, and that White people upheld the system of racism in the nation. In another case, Sandia National Laboratories, which designs nuclear weapons, sent its white male executives to a mandatory training in which they, according to Rufo, wrote letters apologizing to women and people of color. The matter is so serious, Rufo added, that Trump should immediately issue an executive order and stamp out this destructive, divisive, pseudoscientific ideology at its root.
Evidently, Trump got the message and has directed the Office of Management and Budget to crack down on federal agency anti-racism training, calling it “divisive and anti-American propaganda.”
What happens when an idea, or an ideology, infiltrates the huge power base that is the government bureaucracy? What happens is that all decisions made by that bureaucracy are “colored’ by that idea or ideology. Black Lives Matter becomes a battle cry and a religious hymn. White people are racists and therefore bad and must be re-trained. The idea or ideology blossoms into full fledged mass hysteria, purposely manufactured by one party for purely political gain.
What does this sound like? It sounds like what the Chinese Communist Party is doing to the Uighur Muslims in western China, without the concentration camp barracks and bob wire. The Uighurs are being forced into labor camps where they are required to listen to lectures and sing hymns praising the Chinese Communist Party. What is difficult to understand is why white Americans, who are being subjected to this non-sense, (de-programmed) don’t get up and walk out of these seminars?
All this Black Lives Matter and White Privilege hysteria eerily parallels the insanity of the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 and 1693. In colonial Massachusetts, adolescent girls Abigail Williams, Betty Parris, Ann Putnam, Jr., and Elizabeth Hubbard began to have fits that were described by a minister as "beyond the power of Epileptic Fits or natural disease to effect." The events resulted in the Salem witch trials, a series of hearings, which resulted in the execution of 20 citizens and the death of five other citizens of Salem Village, Massachusetts (present day Danvers, Massachusetts) and nearby towns who were accused of practicing witchcraft. The episode is one of America's most notorious cases of mass hysteria, and it has been used in political rhetoric and popular literature as a vivid cautionary tale about the dangers of isolationism, religious extremism, false accusations and lapses in due process. (Source: Wikipedia)
Whether it is pitted windshields, Salem witch trials, Critical Race Theory, White Privilege, or Black Lives Matter, if these mass hysteria diseases infect government bureaucracies and our educational institutions and are allowed to metastasize within the system, the future of a free America is in grave doubt. Will the bureaucracy be the downfall of American freedom? That depends on whether good people will rise up en masse and purge America of suicidal ideologies and reclaim individual freedom and unalienable rights …. no matter what the cost. The German people DIDN’T and 50,000,000 people died needlessly! Will Americans follow suit?
We will conclude with this small tidbit of statistics. It took less than 3% of the population to win America’s Revolutionary War. The current government bureaucracy, at all levels, represents 5.6% of the total population.

“The personal ego already has a strong element of dysfunction, but the collective ego is, frequently, even more dysfunctional, to the point of absolute insanity.” Eckhart Tolle, contemporary spiritual teacher and best-selling author
There are millions upon millions of good, sane people on this earth. But history has shown us that human goodness can be crushed in an instant by the insane power of the state.
On January 1, 1958 Chinese Communist Party Chairman Mao Zedong announced his new “Great Leap Forward” for the people of China. The net result of Chairman Mao’s plans for improving the economy of China resulted in the deaths of between 20 to 46 million Chinese, mostly from starvation due to a massive, government-created famine. Mao accomplished this feat by confiscating all the agricultural crops from the nation’s farmers, leaving nothing for the farmers to eat. The people couldn’t resist, even if they wanted to, because Mao owned all the guns and controlled the military.
The current Chinese Communist Party under its leader Xi Jinping, is forcing millions of Chinese Uighur Muslims in western China into labor camps, requiring them to listen to lectures and sing hymns praising the Chinese Communist Party. Nothing has changed in 13 Chinese dynasties since 2070 BC when the first Chinese dynasty was inaugurated. Chinese oppression of its people is alive and well and has been for 4,000 years. There have been many uprising in China but none of them stuck for long.
In 1932 – 1933, Joseph Stalin did roughly the same thing to the people of Ukraine. Stalin imposed what was called collectivization, which replaced individually owned and operated farms with large state-run collectives. The farmers resisted and in retaliation Stalin confiscated their crops and deported over 50,000 Ukraine’s to the Siberian gulags. Most Ukraine-produced farm products ended up in the big cities of the Soviet Union, leaving around 7,000,000 Ukraine’s to starve. One observer wrote that “you could see the people walking about, and one would drop, and then another, and then another.” Many Ukraine’s were so emaciated that their bodies began to swell and stink. Hospital staff were seen carrying bodies out of hospitals, to be thrown into giant pits.
Dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, communist leader of Romania, (1965 to 1969) did the same thing to his farmers when he assumed power. Nicolae and his peasant wife were so cruel to the people of Romania, he was summarily executed by his own military guards. Once again, the people couldn’t resist, even if they wanted to, because Ceausescu owned all the guns and controlled the military.
Everyone knows of the infamous Adolph Hitler that killed at least 6 million Jews in an attempt to exterminate an entire race. It has been estimated that Hitler caused, at a minimum, 50,000,000 deaths during his reign as Chancellor of Germany and the Second World War. The people couldn’t resist, even if they wanted to, because Hitler owned all the guns, controlled the military and disarmed the citizens.
All over the planet, little dictators are persecuting and terrorizing the inhabitants. In many cases, dictators gain huge riches by exploiting the country’s natural resources, or implementing slave labor. Or, they are being supported by massive foreign aid from western countries. Corruption, cruelty and barbarism are the rules of the day. The people are helpless to resist out of fear of being starved, imprisoned, tortured, or killed by the dictator’s army.
But it isn’t just dictators that rule the people of the earth. Many nations are ruled by politburos. Politburos are policy-making committees of communist or socialist run countries. Nevertheless, the people of such nations are but pawns and slaves of the communist party elites and their plight is the same as a country run by a dictator.
Sadly ladies and gentlemen, insanity, cruelty and enslavement reign on planet earth. Peace and tranquility are the exception, not the rule, except maybe in America where the last vestiges of freedom are slowly dying before our very eyes as we succumb to a radical ideology and insane policies.
Most of the African and South and Central American countries are run by dictators, or ruled by some version of a politburo. Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand have descended into socialism and stagnating economies. China is a wholly communist nation with the goal of being the dominant economic and military power in the world. Russia is essentially a dictatorship under the thumb of Vladimir Putin. The Middle East is locked in a power struggle between two opposing versions of Islam, excluding the state of Israel. The only continent allegedly free of politics, death, destruction and insanity is Antarctica where only the scientists and the Penguins rule.
All of this is punctuated by several nations possessing nuclear weapons of mass destruction. An unintended twitch here, or a twitch there and the peoples of the planet could be condemned to mass extinction and nuclear winter. Now that is insane.
Adding to the planet-wide insanity is the criminal activity of drug trafficking, human smuggling, illegal border crossings and white slavery. The human misery and suffering that afflicts innocent people from this activity, knows no bounds. Of course, this is all insane.
There is only one free nation, America that stands in the way of perpetual wars, perpetual enslavement and starvation, perpetual crime and perpetual misery, on all continents save one. That is if Americans can prevent being sucked into the swirling vortex of utopian socialism and world government that socialist Democrats seem want to pull us.
America has become hopelessly divided by two opposing ideologies that are like oil and water to each other. Neither ideology can exist with the other in peace, much like the Islamic Sunni and Shia Moslems of the Middle East that are in constant conflict.
One of the American ideologies believes in individual freedom, God-given natural rights and Constitutional representative government. The other ideology believes in a strong central government and total dependency on government by the people, led by an Absolute Democrat Monarchy. The former leads to freedom. The latter leads to total enslavement and is truly insane.
One of the ideologies must become dominant for it to survive. To become dominant it must crush the other ideology with violence and intimidation. Or it must somehow peacefully convince the other ideology that it is flawed and wrong.
The socialist Democrats of America have decided to crush the conservative ideology with violence, intimidation, censorship and application of the “cancel culture.” Their efforts are greatly enhanced by public school indoctrination centers, a wholly liberal academia and corporate and union assistance. Added to that is socialist Democrats being aided and abetted by the news and social media. It is a winning strategy, except for one fly in the ointment.
The conservative ideology is not going quietly into the night without a whimper and in contrast to the people under dictatorships and politburos, Americans own guns, millions upon millions of them. Many of those people are trained military and have already been through several tours of war. They would rather live in peace but if war comes to them they won’t shrink from it.
One ex-military marine put it this way: (We cleaned it up a little)
“All you young and naive kids on both sides of this equation who think that having a Civil War will advance your agenda or restore your vision of what you think is America, just remember this ... Those of us older generations aren't [putting up with your crap.] And if you jump off, you better be prepared to deal with us. We don't care what color clothes you're wearing, or what sign you're holding, or the color of your skin. If you come after us, our friends, our family, our co-workers, our neighbors, etc., we will kill you.”
As an example, when ANTIFA came to the little town of Coeur d’alene, Idaho, the men and women of Coeur d’alene came out in full force with guns at the ready. They found the ANTIFA cars and showed them out of town. ANTIFA is not likely to return to the streets of Coeur d’alene any time soon. (See: “The Only Way To Confront Violence Is With Violence.”)
We don’t know the outcome of the battle between the conservative and socialist democrat ideologies yet. The story is ongoing and perpetual. Certain forces are always at play to crush freedom. The preservation of freedom seems to always come from armed conflict and revolution. The reason is, “In the Human Species, All Roads Lead To Insanity.”
No matter how we slice it, whomever wins in November, the conflict between the two ideologies will rage on until one vanquishes the other in a battle between insanity and reason. There is no way the two ideologies can live in peace. Either socialism or freedom will win out.
Whether Trump or Biden wins, violence will continue to grow across the land as each ideology jockeys for the heart of the people by violent or peaceful means. Putting down the rioting and violence with law enforcement or a military army will only serve to harden the resolve of the rioters, looters and arsonists. It will not change their minds or cause them to become more peaceful. It might send them underground for a while but eventually they will re-surface again and again. You see they have become insane over a Democrat-created falsehood, systemic racism.
Each American has the opportunity to choose between government-run control of everything, confiscation of our guns, nationalization of health care, open borders, repeal of the Electoral College, de-funding the police, rising violence and crime, rising taxes, increased regulation, the war against alleged climate change on steroids, the unconscionable reduction of our fossil fuel energy supply, rolling black outs, global government, or God knows what else. OR, they can choose the preservation, protection and defending individual freedom and unalienable rights under a Constitutional Republic, national sovereignty and a strong, vibrant economy under capitalism and free markets. If Americans choose the former, they are hopelessly insane. If they choose the latter, the rights of the individual, freedom, growing opportunities and financial security could be preserved.
Unfortunately, the only logical conclusion one can come to is that the growing conflict between the two ideologies has no other path than open warfare, unless, in the end, cooler heads prevail. We’re not holding our collective breath in anticipation of such an outcome because “In the Human Species, All Roads Lead To Insanity.” Too many Americans don’t deserve freedom and should be remanded to the dark confines of the insane asylum, colloquially referred to as the coo coo nest.
This author is not religious but it may very well be that the Judeo-Christian religions have prevented the human species from going altogether stark raving mad, at least here in America.

"An Open Letter To The
Biden-Harris Campaign and Democrats"
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.
© Copyright Sunday, August 23, 2020 - All Rights Reserved
Dear Joe, Kamala and all other Democrat Politicians and Voters:
To Joe: We are writing to you on behalf of millions of Americans that see right through you. We are not fooled by your down-on-the-farm, soft-spoken facade. You are a fraud and a phony. Not only that, you are losing your mind to age or dementia. You shouldn’t even be running for president. You are corrupt and you have used your 47-year career in the federal government to enrich yourself and your family members, including your brothers. You are all about self and self-serving, not service to country.
What have you done for real Americans? Absolutely nothing! What have you done for your rich friends like the Unions, credit card companies and the banks ….. and your relatives? Everything you could, using your power and influence as a Senator, or as Vice President.
No, we haven’t forgotten about your trip to China with your son Hunter on Airforce 2 while you were Vice President of the United States. Hunter suddenly became rich overnight with a $1.5 Billion investment from a Chinese Private Equity firm (BHR) and the Bank of China. A coincidence, hardly! You let yourself be bought off by our enemy China and now owe your soul to them.
Nor have we dismissed Hunter being appointed to the board of one of Ukraine’s largest natural gas producer (Burisma) at an unheard of exorbitant salary while you were overseeing Ukraine as Vice President. It has been reported that the Burisma money to Hunter came from Rosemont Seneca Bohai (a New York firm) in sums ranging from $10,000 to $150,979 per month. (What did Hunter do for all that money? What was his experience in natural gas production?) Rosemont received over $3.15 million from Burisma for consulting services. One could construe that Hunter’s money was laundered through Rosemont to purposely hide Hunter’s involvement with Burisma. Another coincidence? Only a fool would believe that!
You sold your position as Vice President of the United States to the highest bidder. You likely did the same thing as a U. S. Senator. You peddled influence. You acted as agents of foreign governments without registering under the Federal Foreign Agents Registration Act. You bribed foreign state politicians to get your way or to protect Hunter. You should be in jail.
We don’t even have to guess why the mainstream media is not properly covering your corruption, since the mainstream media is in the tank for you and the Democrats.
Free Americans are aghast that millions of Americans (mostly city folk) have sunk so far that you, Joe Biden, a true Establishment and corrupt Democrat politician, could become their champion for president and that Kamala Harris, an out-for-blood, insanely ambitious, corrupt California State Attorney General, also a socialist Democrat, would be selected as your running mate.
So what do you believe in Joe? We know you want to be president, but why? Maybe it is ambition, power, fame and fortune. Maybe it’s the desire to rule over the masses thereby elevating your self above the riff-raff and unwashed of society. You want their vote but do you relate to them in a meaningful way? Since you have lived a life of privilege off the taxpayer, it is quite doubtful you care about them one way or another. You just want power for power’s sake.
Will you take your marching orders from the fringe socialist left like Bernie Sanders and AOC, or will you govern by moving more to the center? Since you appear to be a hollow shell of a man with no beliefs, most of us believe you will be pulled way left and go half crazy with the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, free college tuition, forgiving all college debt, repealing the Electoral College, repealing the 2nd Amendment, taking our guns away, repealing the filibuster rule, de-funding the police, eliminating ICE, open borders, expand sanctuary cities, along with free health care and amnesty for illegal aliens, without regard to the cost to the taxpayer (most estimates are at least 40% of the Gross Domestic Product) or the fundamental changes in our way of life, our culture and the principles of individual freedom as enshrined in our Constitution. These are all insane policies Joe and most of them are in the Democratic Platform. (See: “DNC Platform”)
And Joe, California got a taste of your Green New Deal and efforts to control the fraud of Climate Change this summer by previously shuttering gas-fired power plants across the state, stopping construction of nuclear and hydro power plants and building expensive, taxpayer subsidized wind turbines and solar arrays instead. Except the wind quit blowing during the current heat wave, solar only provides power during the hot part of the day, the air conditioners came on by the millions, Arizona and Nevada which provide power to California, kept their power in their states, the hydro dams in Washington State were headed for full capacity sending electricity to California and a stand-by gas fired plant failed to come on when requested, leading to rolling blackouts throughout California. Talk about poor planning!
To the rest of you, if you don’t have power in your California home right now, you can blame the fraud of Climate Change and the national and international environmentalists and the governments that listen to them. If Joe and Kamala implement the Green New Deal and very expensive efforts to confront phony Climate Change, rolling blackouts could be coming to your state, or worse. (See: “Back To The Future, The Obama Legacy”)
Joe and Kamala, you live in a utopian, socialist bubble, insulated from the lives of real Americans and oblivious to their needs. You promise much but are incapable of delivering on those promises. Otherwise Joe, you would have delivered on those promises during your term as Vice President. But you were more interested in lining your pockets and trying to take down a duly elected president.
You and those of your ilk have split this country down the middle, pitting whites against blacks, Latinos, Asians and American Indians and convinced everyone that systemic racism is alive and well in America when the racism you charge others with, is racism of Democrat’s own making. You agree with calling every white person a racist, which, since you are white, makes you a racist.
With insane Democrat socialist policies you have passed over the last 8 decades, you have turned the Black race into a fractured, hopeless culture that blames everyone else but themselves for their own ills. You have made Blacks victims and dependent on government and you did it for votes, not altruism. You and other Democrats have allowed Black schools to disintegrate such that Black academic achievement is way below the general population. They struggle if they even reach college and have trouble finding jobs. You and your Democrat pals and policies did that.
You and all other Democrats have said nothing about the growing violence in America that is mostly occurring in Democrat-run cities. You’ve said nothing and done nothing about the war zone and gang violence that is called south Chicago where little children are killed while sitting in their strollers, or in their beds. Although you say you are not for de-funding the police, way too many other Democrats promote and sponsor such efforts, the antithesis to controlling violence in our society.
Blaming Trump for badly handling the Coronavirus is like blaming the Sun for deserts. It is abundantly obvious that you, as President, couldn’t have done any better and knowing you as we do, you probably would have done worse. It’s always easy to criticize someone else’s management of an uncontrollable, run-away natural disaster.
You are complicit, along with Obama, Comey, McCabe, Rice, Clapper, Brennan, Strzok, Page, Orr, Hillary Clinton and the DNC (and others) to take down a duly elected president by staging an illegal silent coup and spying operation, using powerful federal agencies and the intel community to do it.
You support Black Lives Matter (BLM) but BLM is a Marxist organization intent on tearing down by force, America’s institutions and system of government. BLM is no better than violent ANTIFA, or the old Weather Underground, or Students For A Democratic Society.
Your slogan is to “Build Back Better.” How the Hell are you going to top Trump’s record of bringing back jobs and manufacturing to America, raising wages and providing the lowest unemployment rate for Blacks, Latinos and women in a half century? Your idea of bringing back jobs is massive government projects at taxpayer expense. To do that you would have to pass usurious taxes on the middle class. Over-taxed people are not free people Joe.
You keep asking the rich to pay their “fair share” but never describe “fair share” when asked. The top 10% of all wage earners are already paying 70.1% of all federal income taxes. The top 5% pay almost 60% of all federal income taxes. You would take it all if you could and it still wouldn’t be enough to satisfy your insatiable appetite for a larger and more powerful federal government.
Your speech at the convention last Thursday night, where you accepted the Democrat nomination for president of the United States, was hollow, full of glittering generalities and empty promises, with little or no substance or details. The only thing that became clear from the Democratic convention and all of its speakers is that you hate Donald Trump. Why do you hate him? Because he upset your cushy apple cart and exposed you and the news media for the frauds and traitors that you and they are.
In a recent article we wrote: “We and millions like us have come to the conclusion that every time you talk to a person that has aligned him or her self with the Democratic Party, it can only be construed that they are either politically blind, corrupt, wholly ignorant, or a traitor. The current Democrat Party is a treasonous organization bound and determined to destroy individual liberty and to corrupt or tear down the American Constitution. If you and Kamala are elected this November, it will only bring us closer to civil war or revolution. The Coronavirus and the massive government control it triggered have highlighted the growing evidence of open resistance to government tyranny and a potentially “hot” revolution. Why do you suppose Americans are buying guns and ammunition at record rates? Democrats have caused this condition in their Century-long, clandestine fight to make America a monolithic society, ruled by Absolute Democratic Monarchs” like you! To achieve that, you and they have cheated, lied, stolen and broken the law.
We can only hope that most Americans will see through your hidden charade and re-elect Donald J. Trump in 2020.

To Joe: We are writing to you on behalf of millions of Americans that see right through you. We are not fooled by your down-on-the-farm, soft-spoken facade. You are a fraud and a phony. Not only that, you are losing your mind to age or dementia. You shouldn’t even be running for president. You are corrupt and you have used your 47-year career in the federal government to enrich yourself and your family members, including your brothers. You are all about self and self-serving, not service to country.
What have you done for real Americans? Absolutely nothing! What have you done for your rich friends like the Unions, credit card companies and the banks ….. and your relatives? Everything you could, using your power and influence as a Senator, or as Vice President.
No, we haven’t forgotten about your trip to China with your son Hunter on Airforce 2 while you were Vice President of the United States. Hunter suddenly became rich overnight with a $1.5 Billion investment from a Chinese Private Equity firm (BHR) and the Bank of China. A coincidence, hardly! You let yourself be bought off by our enemy China and now owe your soul to them.
Nor have we dismissed Hunter being appointed to the board of one of Ukraine’s largest natural gas producer (Burisma) at an unheard of exorbitant salary while you were overseeing Ukraine as Vice President. It has been reported that the Burisma money to Hunter came from Rosemont Seneca Bohai (a New York firm) in sums ranging from $10,000 to $150,979 per month. (What did Hunter do for all that money? What was his experience in natural gas production?) Rosemont received over $3.15 million from Burisma for consulting services. One could construe that Hunter’s money was laundered through Rosemont to purposely hide Hunter’s involvement with Burisma. Another coincidence? Only a fool would believe that!
You sold your position as Vice President of the United States to the highest bidder. You likely did the same thing as a U. S. Senator. You peddled influence. You acted as agents of foreign governments without registering under the Federal Foreign Agents Registration Act. You bribed foreign state politicians to get your way or to protect Hunter. You should be in jail.
We don’t even have to guess why the mainstream media is not properly covering your corruption, since the mainstream media is in the tank for you and the Democrats.
Free Americans are aghast that millions of Americans (mostly city folk) have sunk so far that you, Joe Biden, a true Establishment and corrupt Democrat politician, could become their champion for president and that Kamala Harris, an out-for-blood, insanely ambitious, corrupt California State Attorney General, also a socialist Democrat, would be selected as your running mate.
So what do you believe in Joe? We know you want to be president, but why? Maybe it is ambition, power, fame and fortune. Maybe it’s the desire to rule over the masses thereby elevating your self above the riff-raff and unwashed of society. You want their vote but do you relate to them in a meaningful way? Since you have lived a life of privilege off the taxpayer, it is quite doubtful you care about them one way or another. You just want power for power’s sake.
Will you take your marching orders from the fringe socialist left like Bernie Sanders and AOC, or will you govern by moving more to the center? Since you appear to be a hollow shell of a man with no beliefs, most of us believe you will be pulled way left and go half crazy with the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, free college tuition, forgiving all college debt, repealing the Electoral College, repealing the 2nd Amendment, taking our guns away, repealing the filibuster rule, de-funding the police, eliminating ICE, open borders, expand sanctuary cities, along with free health care and amnesty for illegal aliens, without regard to the cost to the taxpayer (most estimates are at least 40% of the Gross Domestic Product) or the fundamental changes in our way of life, our culture and the principles of individual freedom as enshrined in our Constitution. These are all insane policies Joe and most of them are in the Democratic Platform. (See: “DNC Platform”)
And Joe, California got a taste of your Green New Deal and efforts to control the fraud of Climate Change this summer by previously shuttering gas-fired power plants across the state, stopping construction of nuclear and hydro power plants and building expensive, taxpayer subsidized wind turbines and solar arrays instead. Except the wind quit blowing during the current heat wave, solar only provides power during the hot part of the day, the air conditioners came on by the millions, Arizona and Nevada which provide power to California, kept their power in their states, the hydro dams in Washington State were headed for full capacity sending electricity to California and a stand-by gas fired plant failed to come on when requested, leading to rolling blackouts throughout California. Talk about poor planning!
To the rest of you, if you don’t have power in your California home right now, you can blame the fraud of Climate Change and the national and international environmentalists and the governments that listen to them. If Joe and Kamala implement the Green New Deal and very expensive efforts to confront phony Climate Change, rolling blackouts could be coming to your state, or worse. (See: “Back To The Future, The Obama Legacy”)

"Americans Have Been Had And Don’t Even Know It"
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

“Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and it is the basic building block of the universe.” Frank Zappa (1940 – 1993) Singer, Songwriter, bandleader
How is it, in 240 plus years, millions of Americans went from self-reliant, independent, responsible, God fearing people who believed strongly in unalienable rights, an inviolate work ethic, true justice and individual freedom, to money-grubbing, greedy, stupid, selfish, immature people, lining up for government handouts, or looting and burning our cities?
Why do we instantly believe what we are being told about ”Climate Change”, when the true science has debunked man-made global warming? It is not about science or the environment. It’s about control of the masses. It’s a con, a fraud and a lie! Nevertheless, millions of Americans have bought into the lie.
Why have we let our schools and colleges be converted into socialist and environmental indoctrination centers instead of objective learning institutions? Is it any wonder that parents want to home school their children or send them to charter schools at a significant cost? They still have to pay school taxes.
How did we allow most of our news media to morph into an arm of the Democratic Party, where conservatism, individual rights and the Republican Party are censored, maligned and vilified?
Why do we buy into the Democrat Platform that will force Medicare-for-all health care, the Green New Deal, free college tuition, forgiving all student debt and health care for illegal aliens upon us? Are we that stupid?
Where is it written that we must let the Democrats repeal our 2nd Amendment, the Electoral College and the Senate Filibuster Rule? That’s what they have sworn to do. We will only let them, if we vote them into office. Are we that stupid?
Why do we keep voting known socialists and communists to our federal, state and city legislatures? Big cities run by Democrats are the worst. Representative government is a direct reflection of the very people that vote politicians into office. Has the majority become socialists or communists? It would appear so.
How on earth could we believe that de-funding the police is a sane policy? As our population grows, especially in our big cities, we need more police, not less?
Why do we allow violent groups, like Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA, take over our cities, loot our stores and burn our businesses, while telling the police to stand down? Why are prosecutors not prosecuting these violent crimes and throwing the perpetrators in jail, the Coronavirus be damned?
Why do we condone our government representatives spending our taxpayer money wildly without any other purpose than buying votes from some constituency group? That’s not representative government. That’s racketeering, corruption, collusion and fraud.
Our representatives have not only become corrupt, they have instituted a fourth branch of government by creating federal, state and local bureaucracies that circumvent the political process. Those agencies have become an un-elected power unto themselves that purposely undermine the will of the electorate and upset the balance of political power. Those agencies have a name. They are called the Deep State and they have a decided liberal bias because most of them are products of our liberal colleges. They make rules and pass laws that are in direct violation of Article 1, Section 1 of the U. S. Constitution, wherein it states in part: “All legislative powers [the making of laws] shall be vested in the Congress of the United States.” Most state constitutions have similar language.
How can we justify leaving our borders open to anyone who wants to come here? They break our laws and are then rewarded for the law breaking with free health care, education, housing, food and clothing, all at taxpayer expense. Are we not aware of the damage that the policy of open borders puts on legal American in lost jobs, the influx of diseases we eradicated decades ago and radical changes to American culture? If we vote in the Democrats again, they will grant amnesty to these illegal aliens, setting them up to be future Democrat voters since most of the illegal aliens come from socialist countries. Is this not the plan of the Democrats? Of course it is.
The family, (one man, one woman and children) Christianity and God-given, natural rights are at the core of our culture and the foundation of our system of government under our Constitution. Without them, our culture collapses like a house of cards, which it appears to be doing right now. Why don’t we get it? “We Are Free Because of Our Constitution.” Nevertheless, we have tolerated the systematic attack by the Democrats on these cultural institutions without an uprising of the American people. Why?
Are we so dumb-struck, naïve’ and ignorant we can’t see that we are being torn apart piece by piece by evil forces (socialist Democrats, Black Lives Matter, ANTIFA, George Soros and others) whose sole goal is to tear down the very fabric of our culture and render us impotent and slaves of their socialist/communist utopia. Are we that stupid?
The truth is, free Americans are at war with a destructive ideology that is intent on destroying them and they refuse to accept it, or have purposely, or unintentionally, ignored it.
There are two choices in war, fight back or capitulate. Before a shot has been fire, have we already capitulated? Are we that weak and stupid? In the words of an anonymous writer: “The days of walking on pins and needles are over. The days of worrying about feelings have ended. It’s time to step on some toes and take back our country.”
Why do you suppose that gun and ammunition sales are going through the roof? Millions of free Americans are not dumb-struck, naïve’ and ignorant. |They are preparing for what is to come. (See: “There Comes A Time When You Must Face A Threat!”)
The only way to take back a country that has separated itself from the principles of freedom is by force. It should be readily apparent to every one that you can’t subdue a bully by talking nice. The Democrats, Black Lives Matter, ANTIFA and others who would attempt to destroy this country by radically transforming it into a world government collective or a socialist nation, are bullies, enemies of the American people and traitors of freedom. The punishment for treason is lengthy incarceration ….. or death.
Every time you talk to a person that has aligned him or her self with the Democratic Party, it can only be construed that they are either politically blind, corrupt, wholly ignorant, or a traitor. The current Democrat Party is a treasonous organization bound and determined to destroy individual liberty. If the nominees to president (Biden) and vice president (Harris) are elected this November, it will only bring us closer to civil war or revolution. The Coronavirus and the massive government control it triggered have highlighted the growing evidence of open resistance to government tyranny and a potentially “hot” revolution.
America is a great country and the American people are an exceptional culture because of individual freedom and the unalienable rights that were born in America some 244 years ago. For America to succumb to rising global power and merged into the one-world-order under socialism, would set the path to freedom for all peoples of the earth, back 300 to 400 years. It could take another 300 to 400 years to restore what America started, if ever and such restoration could only arise out of the ashes of a violent revolution. If America dies, its death will be at the hands of today's generation and will subject all future generations to the dictatorial rule of the global ruling class and the moneychangers that reside within the walled safety of their secretive enclaves.
Why have we allowed ourselves to be had (taken in) by a radical, un-American, unconstitutional ideology? How could we not know it? Are we that stupid? If we know it, why aren’t we doing something about it?

"The Scary Similarities Between
FDR’s New Deal and the Coronavirus"
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.
© Copyright Sunday, August 2, 2020 - All Rights Reserved
“The New Deal is plainly an attempt to achieve a working socialism and avert a social collapse in America; it is extraordinarily parallel to the successive 'policies' and 'Plans' of the Russian experiment. Americans shirk the word 'socialism', but what else can one call it?” H. G. Wells
In 1933 when Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) was elected president in the beginnings of the Great Depression he said, “I will wage war against this emergency as though we were in fact invaded by a foreign foe.” He did just that and in many cases without regard to the 17 enumerated powers as contained in Article I, Section 8, Clauses 1 through 17 of the U. S. Constitution.
The very next day, FDR declared a 4-day bank holiday to stop people from withdrawing their money from banks that were on the brink of failing. (And you think the money in your bank is your money!) A few months later FDR took America off of the gold standard and American currency was backed up by nothing, except the alleged full faith and credit of the American government. It was hardly a reassuring act. The gold standard still does not exist today.
During the Great Depression, that many believe was caused by the Federal Reserve, millions of Americans lost their jobs, their life’s savings, their homes and some their lives. Something had to be done to save the country but did that something go beyond government’s enumerated powers? The answer is a resounding yes!
Besides creating the Civilian Conservation Corps, the Civil Works Administration, the National Industrial Recovery Act, the National Labor Relations Board and the Social Security Administration under the New Deal, he got Congress to pass sweeping banking regulations like the Glass-Stegall Act in June of 1933. Under the Glass-Stegall Act, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was created, which was supposed to protect bank deposits when banks failed. FDR went on to force workers into unions. He blatantly and openly used the IRS against his enemies, as did Obama.
Within the New Deal were new agricultural programs that provided subsidies to farmers for not growing certain crops, or not raising specific livestock like dairy cattle. Many of those farm subsidies are still active today.
The conservative wing of the U. S. Supreme Court gave FDR all kinds of negative decisions on many of his programs. They declared eleven (11) of FDR’s 16 alphabet laws unconstitutional. To get even, FDR threatened to pack the Supreme Court with more justices. The conservative justices took the threat to heart and came around to FDR’s thinking.
In FDR’s speech to the Congress in January of 1934 FDR said, “It is to the eternal credit of the American people that this tremendous readjustment of our national life (read, expansion of government power) is being accomplished peacefully.” The American people forgot their Constitution and rolled over. By stealth and unconstitutional legislation, the Federal Government, under FDR, increased its powers way beyond constitutional limits and the people seemed none the wiser and in many cases, grateful. Once again, WE THE PEOPLE and individual freedom were the losers.
FDR took us from a nation built on the foundation of unalienable rights and individualism, straight into social collectivism (socialism) in an unprecedented expansion of the welfare state and massive government intervention in the American economy.
In all effects, FDR became king of America with a virtually permanent Democrat Congress at his beck and call. When he won an unprecedented fourth term in 1944 and then promptly died, the GOP-controlled Senate at that time, couldn’t wait to limit presidential terms to two, four-year terms under the 22nd Amendment. With the help of some southern Democrats, the Amendment passed the Senate. The U. S. House followed suit and the Amendment was finally ratified by the states in February of 1951. So ended the reign of King FDR whose immeasurable influence is still with us today.
Yes, there have been other emergencies since the Great Depression, but those emergencies paled in comparison to the emergency that took place in the late winter and early spring of 2020, when Communist China unleashed the Coronavirus on an unsuspecting world from what may have been the accidental or purposeful release of the virus from a Wuhan bio laboratory.
All around the planet, people began to get sick and die by the tens of thousands and then by the hundreds of thousands. The science of the virus was almost non-existent since China chose to keep it secret. Without adequate science, world governments went into action and started forcing people to stay in their homes in what could only be described as a massive lock down, just short of martial law.
Sweden on the other hand, went against the prevailing wisdom and did not shut down their country. It turns out that Sweden’s constitution does not allow the declaration of a national emergency. In Sweden, freedom of movement is a fundamental right. Still, Sweden was significantly impacted by the virus.
Nevertheless, the net result of the planet-wide lock down stopped international and national airline, ship and train travel. Cruise ships became instant incubators of the virus and the passengers became trapped at sea where the virus spread rapidly. Tens of thousands of businesses were forced to close. In America, over 40 million lost their jobs, virtually overnight. Meeting and large groups were banned. All high school, college and professional sports terminated their seasonal training and scheduled games. The stadiums were empty. The people couldn’t pray in their churches. Streets were deserted. Restaurants closed their doors. Theaters were shuttered. Bankruptcies started piling up. Rents, on a massive scale, went unpaid. Food banks had trouble meeting the demand. Hospital rooms started filling up and our children were sent home from public schools and colleges, perhaps never to return.
Noted scientists pontificated about the virus and offered advice to world leaders, which translated into new laws and policies. The pontifications and advice would change over time, sometimes dramatically. “Congregate” and “don’t congregate”, along with “don’t wear a mask”, “wear a mask,” littered the airwaves. The people were confused but complied with the government shut down edicts and mandates anyway.
Governors and mayors got into the act and issued local mandates. Some states locked up, some states didn’t. State and local politicians took on powers that suspended constitutionally protected rights. The Mayors of New York and Los Angeles have gone to extraordinarily punitive measures to control the virus. New York’s mayor has set up roadblocks entering the city while allowing crime to race out of control. The mayor of Los Angeles has threatened to cut off the water and electricity to homes and businesses that violate the strict orders. Protests are allowed but churches must remain closed.
It turns out that in the name of “Public Health and Safety”, government believes it has the power to override all other laws. The Bill of Rights was tossed into the trashcan. The Constitution died in the spring of 2020. (See: “The Slow, Torturous, Silent Repeal of the Bill of Rights”)
The Congress and the Federal Reserve pulled out all the stops in order to blunt the effects of a potential economic collapse. Massive stimulus packages were passed in Congress and signed by the President, to the tune of $2 Trillion. Congress is now considering another stimulus package of from $1 Trillion to $3 Trillion to buy more votes during an election year. The Federal Reserve took unprecedented actions, in the trillions of dollars, to maintain liquidity. The national debt rose from $23.5 Trillion to $26.5 Trillion almost overnight. The national debt is now 1.3 times America’s Gross Domestic Product at $20.54 Trillion The income and net worth of every American is the collateral for this debt but there is no way that it will ever be paid back as it continues to rise into the stratosphere.
Many Americans vehemently objected to the new health rules and went to court, but the courts have mostly upheld the emergency powers of the government leaders and politicians. Businesses that defied the shut down orders had their business licenses revoked, or were arrested and thrown in jail.
Once again, the federal government used a national emergency to increase its powers and authority, to the detriment of the people’s rights. Once again, the people laid down and played dead like good little compliant robots, just like they did under the reign of King FDR. Should they express outrage at their loss of freedom, they have only them selves to blame.
The Clinton Administration got into the act of increasing executive power by forming the “President’s Council on Sustainable Development”, which had the effect of codifying into law the policies of UN’s Agenda 21, adopted by most UN nations, including the U. S., in 1992. The radical Agenda 21 environmental policies were never debated or ratified by the U. S. Congress, as required by the U. S. Constitution. Such policies are an affront to American sovereignty and constitutional rights, including property rights.
During the eight-year reign of King Obama, executive power was increased even more. Using the power of his pen, he wrote unconstitutional presidential memoranda and executive orders that he himself said were unconstitutional. He did it anyway. In one such Presidential Memoranda he proclaimed that all children who were brought to America by illegal aliens (DACA) were exempt from deportation. President Trump came along and reversed Obama’s Memoranda on constitutional grounds but the U. S. Supreme Court refused to uphold Trump’s Memoranda and failed to declare Obama’s Memoranda unconstitutional. Unfortunately, this is just more judicial confusion and further clouding of immigration law.
Obama cronies in the FBI, DOJ, CIA and NSA were complicit in a silent coup d’etat against incoming President Trump whom they hated, exceeding all of their powers, ethics and department policies. Trump, in their minds, was a threat to their well-established, corrupt, highly lucrative establishment. Will they pay a price for breaking the law, or will their law breaking become business as usual in the U. S. Government? We shall soon see if the Durham report is ever made public and high-level government officers are indicted, convicted and sent to jail. We don’t suggest holding your breath in anticipation of such an outcome.
Thomas Jefferson wrote 200 years ago that, “Experience hath shown that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.”
American local, state and the federal government have, in the last 100 years, proved that Jefferson was uncannily right. Using stealth, backroom deals, unconstitutional legislation and national emergencies, government tyranny, corruption and expansion of powers have now become the norm not the exception and the people have become slaves but are totally oblivious to their enslavement.
America has endured many emergencies since the signing of the Constitution but manages to avert disaster each time. However, in the process of addressing those emergencies, government takes more and more control of our lives. If government has no intention of fulfilling its obligation to preserve, protect and defend individual freedoms and the Constitution, America will just be another nation that toyed with freedom but couldn’t hold onto it because the people refused to maintain constitutional restraints on government.

In 1933 when Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) was elected president in the beginnings of the Great Depression he said, “I will wage war against this emergency as though we were in fact invaded by a foreign foe.” He did just that and in many cases without regard to the 17 enumerated powers as contained in Article I, Section 8, Clauses 1 through 17 of the U. S. Constitution.
The very next day, FDR declared a 4-day bank holiday to stop people from withdrawing their money from banks that were on the brink of failing. (And you think the money in your bank is your money!) A few months later FDR took America off of the gold standard and American currency was backed up by nothing, except the alleged full faith and credit of the American government. It was hardly a reassuring act. The gold standard still does not exist today.
During the Great Depression, that many believe was caused by the Federal Reserve, millions of Americans lost their jobs, their life’s savings, their homes and some their lives. Something had to be done to save the country but did that something go beyond government’s enumerated powers? The answer is a resounding yes!
Besides creating the Civilian Conservation Corps, the Civil Works Administration, the National Industrial Recovery Act, the National Labor Relations Board and the Social Security Administration under the New Deal, he got Congress to pass sweeping banking regulations like the Glass-Stegall Act in June of 1933. Under the Glass-Stegall Act, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was created, which was supposed to protect bank deposits when banks failed. FDR went on to force workers into unions. He blatantly and openly used the IRS against his enemies, as did Obama.
Within the New Deal were new agricultural programs that provided subsidies to farmers for not growing certain crops, or not raising specific livestock like dairy cattle. Many of those farm subsidies are still active today.
The conservative wing of the U. S. Supreme Court gave FDR all kinds of negative decisions on many of his programs. They declared eleven (11) of FDR’s 16 alphabet laws unconstitutional.

"The Only Way To Confront Violence Is With Violence"

“Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. I am not unmindful of the fact that violence often brings about momentary results. Nations have frequently won their independence in battle. But in spite of temporary victories, violence never brings permanent peace.”
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Anarchists, looters and arsonists engage in heinous acts of wanton violence while good people stand by and watch from the sidelines. Democrat office holders, in acts of appeasement to the violent mob, tell their police forces to stand down in the face of racial-driven violence, thereby emboldening the anarchists to increase their violence. Businesses are burned, people are injured or killed and foul graffiti adorns the walls and streets of the city. In the chaos that ensues, everyone tends to lose sight of why the violence is occurring in the first place. Violence just becomes violence for violence’s sake, without reason or logic.
The hard fact is, that if just one anarchist is shot by law enforcement, in front of all the other anarchists, they would scatter like flies in all directions and the violence would stop. If anarchists, looters and arsonists were shot in big-city riots across the country, violence would immediately stop all over America.
If there is no price to pay, the anarchist gets off scot-free. This is a truism for all criminal behavior, including those that cross our borders illegally. That is why we have laws in the first place so that criminals will pay a price for their bad acts against society. But if the law only applies to the good, law-abiding people of America, then there is no law.
Now everyone knows this fact instinctively. Why do we constantly ignore reason, logic and common sense? The only reason that makes sense is the politics of power. Politics corrupts all rational actions and intelligent decisions by government, whether it is an act of a politician or a bureaucrat. Virtually every act of government is an act of politics for the purpose of obtaining and keeping political power. All political parties are guilty of using irrational politics to further their goal of wielding power over the masses. Examples of this in our every day lives abound.
The Democrat mayors of Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and all other big cities run by Democrats, see the riots as enhancing their chances of increasing their power at all levels of government, including the presidency. The bad economy, large unemployment, virus deaths and the constant violent upheaval every night on the news surely would seem to work against the incumbent president. Or does it? If lawlessness is allowed to persist and good people become enraged because no one is stopping it, could it backfire on the Democrats?
Nevertheless, the Democrats are willing to let people be killed and businesses burn so that they can hold the seats of power and tell everyone else how to live. They abhor the Constitution as it limits their power to control the people with Climate Change, Green New Deals, Medicare For all, un-fund the police, give amnesty and all kinds of free stuff to illegal aliens, repeal the Electoral College and free college tuition for everyone.
If the electoral power was not concentrated in big cities and was spread out more evenly across the country, Democrats would not be able to hold the rest of the country hostage by allowing, aiding and abetting riots, looting and arson for the trumped up charge of systemic racism or white privilege. Big cities may very well be the downfall of a free America, or lead to civil war.
We’ve been down this road before in previous articles but sometimes repetition increases the chances of getting the message across.
The behavior of individuals living tightly in big cities produces its own share of problems. High crime rates and noise, air and water pollution are just a few of the consequences. Big cities require large police forces to enforce laws and civility but big cities without adequate police protection see their crime rates explode, as is happening now due to Democrats appeasing the mob and calling for a reduction in police presence, as if that will somehow reduce racism and riots.
Big cities dump their concentrated pollution on the environment and then expect everyone else to comply with environmental protection, except them selves.
Big cities are also dangerous places to be in times of war and natural disasters. Earthquakes, fires, floods and rapidly spreading diseases find ready victims in big cities that can produce large losses of life. Most of the deaths occurring from the Black Plague, during the era of the Dark Ages, occurred in the cities where the concentrated garbage and human waste attracted the rats that carried the fleas that carried the disease.
During war, opposing enemies don't bomb the countryside, they bomb big cities where the manufacturing plants build the machines and weapons of war and where large populations of men, women and children can be killed to bring the enemy to its knees. Need we mention the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, or the firebombing of Dresden, Germany?
But the other consequence of high-dense living is the steady lowering of the bar of civility, respect and trust. Human behavior changes under the conditions of living closer together. It does so because of a basic human fact. No matter what the government, socialists, or the environmentalists will tell you, people like and need "their" space and the space does not come in a 1,000 sq. ft. apartment in a 25-story building, surrounded by concrete on all sides, in a big city.
Suburbs became a partial answer to the human need for space and escaping the problems of big cities. But then the suburbs began to increase in density as governments got into the act of "planning" where we live and work. The suburbs began to infill.
History has shown us that people don't behave well when crammed together in big cities. Big cities have given us the "Blue" states. Big cities are bastions of socialism and government control. Big cities, with their majorities, control the legislative process and give us legislators that support socialism, more laws and environmental extremism. Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez come to mind.
The people who inhabit big cities are more apt to believe whatever the government tells them and act like mindless lemmings. The current propaganda and mass hysteria of man-caused global warming (Climate Change) is a prime example and allows Al Gore to spew his Climate Change insanity to the naive "choir". Yes, big cities are large markets of consumers and bring us commerce that helps to fund the country. But we wonder if the price is worth it?
There is now a determined social justice and environmental protection agenda by American policy makers to cram more people into large cities. Over-educated, government-paid planners spend all of their time in drafting acts, laws, rules, restrictions, regulations and ordinances to direct the movement of populations ever tighter into big cities. Planners are doing their best to do away with the single-family home with a large yard where the kids can play.
Draconian environmental protection laws are purposely designed to drive more people out of the rural areas and force them into big cities. The rural areas are to be protected at all costs, without regard to constitutional protections or the rights of rural landowners, the quintessential American dream.
This purposeful design was first created in a United Nations policy paper entitled, Agenda 21. It was then codified into American law by presidential executive orders, without a treaty being ratified. This socialist policy now permeates every level of American government and is taught in our K-12 public schools and our very liberal colleges. Government sanctifies this policy with soft sounding names like "Social Equity", "Smart Growth", "Sustainable Development", "Endangered Species", "Conservation", "Biospheres", "Wildlife Corridors" and "Wilderness Protection". One of the motives for all of this propaganda is to drive more people into big cities, get them out of their cars and force them to take mass transit. Government can more easily control people in big cities.
As a direct result of this forced rural-to-urban migration policy, the bar of civility gets lower and lower as big-city populations increase. Big government, mostly Democrats, love big cities, as they feed off of the occupants' dependence on government and big-city voters continue to re-elect the handout providers. Big government doesn't give one whit about civility. If the population gets more uncivil, government just adds more police to bring the people into compliance and increases taxes to pay for it all, that is of course if Black Lives Matter doesn’t get Democrats to decrease police forces under the insane idea of “de-fund the police.”
We’ll never get rid of big cities but like too many rats in a cage, the populations of big cities will get less and less civil as their densities increase and will become more and more dependent on government for their survival. As a result, socialism is inevitable. (See: “Demographics Will Eventually Destroy Our Founding Father’s Republic”)
Big cities produced big government and government gets bigger and more powerful every day. In the end civility, respect, trust, honor, integrity, honesty and freedom lose.
Big cities give Democrats big power. Uncontrolled violence in big cities by anarchists is just another way for Democrats to increase their political power. If more of the anarchists were shot by law enforcement while in the act of rioting, looting, or arson, there would be a lot less violence in our big cities and a lot less power for Democrats.
In the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., “violence might bring momentary results for racial justice, but it never brings lasting peace.” (See: “So Black Violence Is Supposed To Heal White Racism?”
It seems the only logical conclusion then is to confront violence with violence in the hopes of eventually bringing lasting peace, just as we did in two world wars. It makes no difference if the violence is domestic or international. All bullies must be taken down one way or another, either by peaceful means, or by violence.
Now there may be another way to confront the anarchists, with a show of force. The good people of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho came out in full force carrying guns when they heard that ANTIFA was on their way to protest in Coeur d’Alene. When ANTIFA showed up, heavily armed civilians escorted them out of town. Not a shot was fired. The PEOPLE spoke! (See: “Armed Patriots Patrol Coeur d’Alene”)

But the other consequence of high-dense living is the steady lowering of the bar of civility, respect and trust. Human behavior changes under the conditions of living closer together. It does so because of a basic human fact. No matter what the government, socialists, or the environmentalists will tell you, people like and need "their" space and the space does not come in a 1,000 sq. ft. apartment in a 25-story building, surrounded by concrete on all sides, in a big city.
Suburbs became a partial answer to the human need for space and escaping the problems of big cities. But then the suburbs began to increase in density as governments got into the act of "planning" where we live and work. The suburbs began to infill.
History has shown us that people don't behave well when crammed together in big cities. Big cities have given us the "Blue" states. Big cities are bastions of socialism and government control. Big cities, with their majorities, control the legislative process and give us legislators that support socialism, more laws and environmental extremism. Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez come to mind.
The people who inhabit big cities are more apt to believe whatever the government tells them and act like mindless lemmings. The current propaganda and mass hysteria of man-caused global warming (Climate Change) is a prime example and allows Al Gore to spew his Climate Change insanity to the naive "choir". Yes, big cities are large markets of consumers and bring us commerce that helps to fund the country. But we wonder if the price is worth it?
There is now a determined social justice and environmental protection agenda by American policy makers to cram more people into large cities. Over-educated, government-paid planners spend all of their time in drafting acts, laws, rules, restrictions, regulations and ordinances to direct the movement of populations ever tighter into big cities. Planners are doing their best to do away with the single-family home with a large yard where the kids can play.
Draconian environmental protection laws are purposely designed to drive more people out of the rural areas and force them into big cities. The rural areas are to be protected at all costs, without regard to constitutional protections or the rights of rural landowners, the quintessential American dream.
This purposeful design was first created in a United Nations policy paper entitled, Agenda 21. It was then codified into American law by presidential executive orders, without a treaty being ratified. This socialist policy now permeates every level of American government and is taught in our K-12 public schools and our very liberal colleges. Government sanctifies this policy with soft sounding names like "Social Equity", "Smart Growth", "Sustainable Development", "Endangered Species", "Conservation", "Biospheres", "Wildlife Corridors" and "Wilderness Protection". One of the motives for all of this propaganda is to drive more people into big cities, get them out of their cars and force them to take mass transit. Government can more easily control people in big cities.
As a direct result of this forced rural-to-urban migration policy, the bar of civility gets lower and lower as big-city populations increase. Big government, mostly Democrats, love big cities, as they feed off of the occupants' dependence on government and big-city voters continue to re-elect the handout providers. Big government doesn't give one whit about civility. If the population gets more uncivil, government just adds more police to bring the people into compliance and increases taxes to pay for it all, that is of course if Black Lives Matter doesn’t get Democrats to decrease police forces under the insane idea of “de-fund the police.”
We’ll never get rid of big cities but like too many rats in a cage, the populations of big cities will get less and less civil as their densities increase and will become more and more dependent on government for their survival. As a result, socialism is inevitable. (See: “Demographics Will Eventually Destroy Our Founding Father’s Republic”)
Big cities produced big government and government gets bigger and more powerful every day. In the end civility, respect, trust, honor, integrity, honesty and freedom lose.
Big cities give Democrats big power. Uncontrolled violence in big cities by anarchists is just another way for Democrats to increase their political power. If more of the anarchists were shot by law enforcement while in the act of rioting, looting, or arson, there would be a lot less violence in our big cities and a lot less power for Democrats.
In the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., “violence might bring momentary results for racial justice, but it never brings lasting peace.” (See: “So Black Violence Is Supposed To Heal White Racism?”
It seems the only logical conclusion then is to confront violence with violence in the hopes of eventually bringing lasting peace, just as we did in two world wars. It makes no difference if the violence is domestic or international. All bullies must be taken down one way or another, either by peaceful means, or by violence.
Now there may be another way to confront the anarchists, with a show of force. The good people of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho came out in full force carrying guns when they heard that ANTIFA was on their way to protest in Coeur d’Alene. When ANTIFA showed up, heavily armed civilians escorted them out of town. Not a shot was fired. The PEOPLE spoke! (See: “Armed Patriots Patrol Coeur d’Alene”)

"An Irrevocable Message To Every Politician And Bureaucrat"
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.
© Copyright Sunday, July 26, 2020 - All Rights Reserved
“I have embraced crying mothers who have lost their children because our politicians put their personal agendas before the national good. I have no patience for injustice, no tolerance for government incompetence and no sympathy for leaders who fail their citizens.” Donald Trump
Dear politician and Bureaucrat:
We finally get it! For a growing number of us, it is now crystal clear what you are trying to do and have been doing for far too long. You think we are ignorant, stupid, naive and apathetic. Some of us are. But our eyes are opening now. It took eighty to one hundreds years of us looking the other way, while you pretty much did whatever you wanted to do, under the Progressive umbrella. But those days are over. The pendulum swings slowly, but it swings nevertheless and it now swings towards freedom. The recent riots, looting and arson in protest agains alleged systemic racism has opened our eyes even further to your plans to forever and fundamentally transform America into your distorted and myopic vision of some socialist utopia. Your method to achieve your goal is force, intimidation, guilt and fear.
We are watching and we are learning and we are telling others to watch and learn as well. Your free hand to strip us of our individual rights, our property and our pride and tear down our institutions of freedom and liberty that made America one of the greatest, most prosperous and most generous nations on Earth, is finally over. Oh you may have a few more years yet to chip away at our freedom and our sovereignty, especially if Joe Biden is elected President, but nothing lasts forever and we are waking up to what you have created and what we let happen. We are finally able to see through the clouds of propaganda and lies you have used to shroud the light of our Sun, as well as our liberty.
Sure, you have been successful in buying off a large segment of the American population and they won't bite the hand that feeds them, but there are those among us, who have pierced the veil of your deceit and are now on a path to return you to the limited powers strictly authorized by our constitution. Because of our in-attention, you have become corrupt and filled with your own power. Your egos have been blown out of proportion by years upon years of no resistance to your chicanery.
Because you see Oh arrogant politician, there are those among us who remember what it was like before our government become seriously intrusive into our private lives, our property, our income and ultimately our freedom.
There are those among us who have an indelible memory of the principles upon which this great land was founded and have been witness to the irresponsible and unconscionable erosion of those principles.
There are those among us who have watched over the years as the “frog” (us) was slowly heated (freedoms denied) and died (became captive) in the pot because the changes in policies over time were almost imperceptible.
There are those among us that realize our freedom is directly related to the level of our involvement in the process that maintains those freedoms, but have lost our voice in screaming our concerns to the multitudes and the politicians, that have rejected our message.
There are those among us that are acutely aware of the inescapable fact that the “Price of Freedom and Liberty is truly Eternal Vigilance”. We give homage and sincere honor to those brave souls that have been wounded or died to maintain that freedom.
There are those among us that know your Climate Change is a hoax created for the purpose of controlling the behavior of the masses, while stealing their money and their freedom. Your Green New Deal is just an irresponsible, massive expansion of Climate Change policy. (See: “Climate”)
There are those among us that know that the passage of Obama Care was done again to control the people, take away their choice of a doctor and a health care plan and raise their health care premiums by several factors. Obama care was also designed to be a stepping-stone to Medicare for all and a means of increasing Democrat votes.
There are those among us that know allowing unfettered access to America by illegal aliens is a back door into creating more votes for Democrats. Sanctuary states and cities are just another way to shelter the illegal aliens (future Democrat voters) from our immigrations laws and customs enforcement. (See: “Illegal Aliens Have More Rights Than IRS Taxpayers”)
There are those among us that knew the Russia investigation into candidate Trump and then President Trump was in fact a silent coup against a party and a president for the purpose of rendering Trump impotent and unable to govern. You almost got away with it. But now you have been exposed for the frauds and criminals that you are. With any luck, several of you will go to jail. In spite of your silent coup, President Trump has been a very effective president for the American people on many fronts including jobs, economic recovery, decreased regulations, beefing up our military and constructive changes to foreign policy, especially China.
There are those among us that know we have allowed our government to buy our vote in return for compensation that had no relation to our labors or our investments. For nothing comes without a price and the price has been the loss of pride, dignity, honor, self-respect and most importantly, our individual freedom. We have been seduced, undressed, lined up and given our marching orders without a shot being fired, just like Hitler did to the German people that led to World War 2.
There are those among us who still remember the sweet smell of individual accomplishment and achievement and the rewards we received for our hard work. But now achievement and hard work are demeaned, vilified and heavily taxed under the frauds of social justice, racism and white privilege.
There are those among us who still set high moral and ethical standards for ourselves and those around us.
There are those among us, by the millions that give of our selves in selfless acts of charity to others because Americans are truly generous people.
There are those among us that have watched in silence for way too many years as you increased your power by creating law, after law and then creating bloated bureaucracies to pass even more law, without your oversight, as is your constitutional duty as legislators. You have wrapped the people of America in a tangled web of laws that overlap, contradict and conflict with each other, allowing the vultures of our society, lawyers, to straighten out the mess you created. But the lawyers don't straighten out the mess, they make it even more complicated, all the while filling their own bank accounts at the expense of the naive and ignorant.
There are those among us who have watched as U. S., and state Supreme Courts and lower level courts twist and turn our constitution and the law and legislation you pass, into travesties of injustice and betrayal. We have watched as courts uphold laws in order to bolster the power of the legislative and executive branches of government, all the while thumbing their collective noses at the CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED and the Supreme Law of the Land.
There are those among us who see through your current attempts to destabilize America by domestic terrorists and anarchists that are Hell bent on tearing down our institutions of freedom in every city and county in America. We are fully aware that each of you are aiding and abetting the anarchists for the sole purpose of sending fear and shock waves through the electorate so that the voters will defeat President Trump in 2020. (See: “So Black Violence Is Supposed to Heal White Racism”)
But we are done watching. We have awakened from our long sleep and we are awakening others. The days of you raising your right hand and swearing on oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and then doing just the opposite, are coming to an end. There is a price for lying, deceit, propaganda and corruption and that price will catch up to you. For the natural law states that eventually, no bad deed goes un-punished.
The job of the politician is to uphold the Constitution upon which they swear on solemn oath. The job of the politician is to protect the American people from all enemies, foreign or domestic, even if the domestic enemy is advocating laws that violate our constitutions, as do most social and environmental laws. The job of the politician and law enforcement is to confront, arrest and convict anarchists, looters, arsonists and terrorists. The job of the politician is to establish public schools that provide objective, true and accurate education, not political indoctrination. The job of the politician is to help the people during natural disasters. The job of the politicians is to assure free and fair elections. The job of the politician is to vigorously defend the individual freedoms, as granted to the American people by their creator and codified into law in our constitution. The politician was not created to let criminals out of jail, provide get-out-of-jail free bail, or give a pass to anarchists.
The job of the politician is not to micro-manage every individual's life to some set of unreasonable standards that were created by some commission staffed with over-educated idiots, or a bureaucrat, or politician that have the arrogance to think they know better how to manage our individual lives than we do. The job of the politician is not to monitor or surveil us 24/7.
In short, Mr. and Mrs. politician and bureaucrat, you don't own our land, you don't pay our taxes or our mortgages, you don't own our lives and you do not know what is best for us. Mr. or Mrs. politician, live up to your sworn oath and constitutional duties, stay within your constitutional limits, protect us from all enemies foreign and domestic and get out of our individual lives. We don't need you and we don't want you. We can take care of our selves or each other, if necessary. That is what true freedom is all about and that is exactly what we intend to defend. We, "THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED" will re-assert our power over the government and stop you cold from morphing this once proud and great land into the mind-numbing mediocrity of European-style socialism.
Should you politicians and bureaucrats not heed this irrevocable message, it is written and pre-ordained that we shall come after you with the guns of rebellion and revolution, in fulfillment of the promise of the Declaration of Independence wherein it states:
“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.”
The stage is set. There are those among us that are itching for a fight. Civilians are heavily armed and growing more armed by the day out of fear of rising government tyranny. All the first act of this violent revolutionary play needs is a trigger and the trigger could be some inconsequential, unexpected event that ends up being the “shot heard ‘round the world”. It could come at any moment. The trigger might be the anarchists that are burning our cities, or it might even be the election of Joe Biden as president.

"When The Bullets of Freedom Ring,
America Will Be Saved"
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.
© Copyright Sunday, July 17, 2020 - All Rights Reserved
“A plant rises up out of the moist, rich soil from a tiny seed no bigger than a few grains of sand. Its journey through life is preordained. It cannot sway from the goal set for it by its genetics, chemistry and biology. Somewhere along the way a bud forms on the end of a stalk or tendril of the plant and in but a few days, erupts into a splendor of color and a soft, enticing shape; each plant having its own unique form and color. In contrast, humans are far different than the plant, even though they too come from a seed. Humans possess what all plants and most, if not all animals, do not possess. Humans have pre-programmed into them volition, free choice, an ego, an id, a will to determine their own direction, their own future and their own environment. The unlimited expression of those qualities, within reason, is freedom.” Ron Ewart
To feel the wind in your hair that rustles the leaves of a nearby tree, is freedom. To stare deep into the night sky and wonder what lies beyond this tiny spec of a rock called earth, is freedom. To stand on a mountaintop and take in and absorb the great vistas that lie before you, is freedom. To create a unique idea and bring it to fruition as an expression of who you are, is freedom. To get in your car and travel wherever you wish to go, unfettered by borders or government control, is freedom. To work your land in worthy pursuits without being restricted by choking government regulations, is freedom. To have a good job that meets your financial needs, is freedom. To send a tender smile across the room to the one you love, is freedom. To watch a young child reach a new milestone, or offer an innocent smile to a parent’s caress, is freedom. To follow a dream and make it a reality, is freedom. To fail or succeed by your own hand, is still freedom. To wonder, to ask why or how about an issue or a phenomenon, is freedom. To live without fear of local risks, or government tyranny and corruption, is freedom.
But alas, life in America is not free of local risks like crime and violence and it is definitely not free of government regulations, tyranny, or corruption.
The level of interference in our daily lives by government and special interests has grown exponentially since the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. In 244 years the government of this nation of laws, has irrevocably perverted and distorted the “rule of law” by passing laws to the point of absurdity, if not insanity. Our God-given natural freedoms have been so eroded by too many laws as to make constitutional freedoms unrecognizable. At the current rate of erosion the rest of those natural rights will be usurped and repealed in the next few decades.
If the socialist Democrats gain power and have their way, the Constitution and the “rule of law” will become obsolete and meaningless. Eventually, the “rule of law” will become the rule of a small cadre of powerful men and women and the elite will finally rule the earth through a world government. America’s sovereignty will be dissolved and its principles of freedom repealed. The people will be but indentured debt servants, in a land ruled by aristocrats and oligarchs, or even worse, the United Nations, or a dictator.
That is the future that awaits us, if we do nothing, a prediction we chronicled in our article entitled, “Back To The Future, The Obama Legacy.” It is a chilling portrayal of things to come in the year 2051.
The sad reality is, the socialist Democrats have been very successful in brainwashing at least the last three generations with the socialist mantra in our public schools and colleges and getting them to believe that America is a flawed country and is to be berated and vilified, not celebrated as an exceptional nation. The latest attack on America and Americans using Blacks as victims of alleged White racism, White Privilege, or White Supremacy, has hopelessly divided our nation and elevated a racial falsehood to a national tragedy and an alleged civil rights injustice where none exists.
This is the socialist Democrat’s ultimate propaganda to gain perpetual political power by any means and render conservative thought and ideology and Constitutional protections irrelevant. Once again, they pit us against each other for their own gain and exploit the lives of Blacks to do it. When will the Black race finally realize that Democrats don’t care one whit about Blacks, they only care that Blacks will vote as a block for Democrats. Blacks have been bought off by Democrats, hook, line and sinker, using taxpayer’s money. Free health care, free college tuition and forgiveness of college debt are just more tools in the Democrat play book to buy off more Americans.
Make no mistake, they (socialist Democrats) are coming for your free speech ….. and your guns. They are tearing down the core foundations of our society, the nuclear family, religious freedom and your property rights. They are trying to do away with the single family home and a yard and replace them with high-rise concrete and steel apartments in the name of smart growth and sustainable development, both UN Agenda 21 policies, policies that were never ratified by the U. S. Congress.
They want to take you out of your cars and force you into mass transit. They are trying to take away your energy by attempting to replace fossil fuels with alternative energy, (wind, solar power and bio-fuels) not only exorbitantly costly at worst, but a pipe dream and just plain stupid at best. They won’t allow clean nuclear or hydro-power to be built for alleged environmental reasons. They want to drive all rural people into big cities so they can better control them and leave the rural areas for plants and animals. They have replaced honorable government with graft, corruption, double-dealing, greed and racketeering. Why do you suppose that the five riches counties in America surround Washington, DC?
If you are looking for the preservation or an expansion of individual freedoms in your, or your children’s future, you are blind to reality and betting on the wrong horse. This horse cheats, lies and steals and has no compunction about breaking the law.
For several decades we have tried the peaceful approach to restore our Constitutional Republic. But the simple truth is, the stupid and ignorant ones have the majority of the votes (mostly from corrupt big cities) and conservatism is short of votes and up against an immovable object, the coming dawn of American socialism. Just how are you going to stop it if you don’t have the votes?
You can’t count on the Republicans to save you. Most Republicans are in the tank to the establishment and will not rock their own boats. Why do you suppose the Republicans have not come out in unison and denounced the current Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA violence? Their silence says it all.
You can’t count on the whole Congress to preserve, protect and defend freedom when they are the ones that are trying to undo it. You certainly can’t count on the bureaucracy, they are the ones trying to take your freedom away by unauthorized legislative fiat. You can’t count on the “We the People” because the people are hopelessly divided.
There is only one remaining and final solution to preserve the Republic: them’s with the guns, en masse, take control of the government institutions, including public schools and colleges, and lay down the law, constitutional law. We call this solution, the “Bullets of Freedom.” Half measures will only insure defeat, as the government will move to quash an inferior force. Only a full court press has any chance of success. That means that tens of millions of Americans would have to get involved. That appears unlikely.
But if it could happen, who will lead the “Bullets of Freedom?” How will it be organized and funded? Who will be the soldiers? What strategy or plan of attack will be used to achieve its worthy goals to restore freedom? Could “Encirclement” play a part?
Or, is there no viable solution? Has America come too far to ever turn back? Can our growing society survive without heavy restrictions on its freedom (socialism) so that it doesn’t unravel in chaos and violence, as it seems to be doing right now? Are the divisions too great to heal?
What we do know is this. America is reaching a boiling point in its long life. It is not the first, but seems to be the worst. The tension is very high. The bonds that held us together are coming unglued. Congress could fix it, but they won’t. Trump can only try, but without a unified Congress, he is impotent. As a result of the unpredictable virus and the failing economy, he may lose anyway.
How long can America endure before the boiling point erupts in all out warfare under the “Bullets of Freedom?” Or, will a one someone, or a few someone’s, turn off the burner under the boiling pot? Will, in the end, cooler heads prevail? So far it would seem not leaving but one option left!

To feel the wind in your hair that rustles the leaves of a nearby tree, is freedom. To stare deep into the night sky and wonder what lies beyond this tiny spec of a rock called earth, is freedom. To stand on a mountaintop and take in and absorb the great vistas that lie before you, is freedom. To create a unique idea and bring it to fruition as an expression of who you are, is freedom. To get in your car and travel wherever you wish to go, unfettered by borders or government control, is freedom. To work your land in worthy pursuits without being restricted by choking government regulations, is freedom. To have a good job that meets your financial needs, is freedom. To send a tender smile across the room to the one you love, is freedom. To watch a young child reach a new milestone, or offer an innocent smile to a parent’s caress, is freedom. To follow a dream and make it a reality, is freedom. To fail or succeed by your own hand, is still freedom. To wonder, to ask why or how about an issue or a phenomenon, is freedom. To live without fear of local risks, or government tyranny and corruption, is freedom.
But alas, life in America is not free of local risks like crime and violence and it is definitely not free of government regulations, tyranny, or corruption.
The level of interference in our daily lives by government and special interests has grown exponentially since the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. In 244 years the government of this nation of laws, has irrevocably perverted and distorted the “rule of law” by passing laws to the point of absurdity, if not insanity. Our God-given natural freedoms have been so eroded by too many laws as to make constitutional freedoms unrecognizable. At the current rate of erosion the rest of those natural rights will be usurped and repealed in the next few decades.
If the socialist Democrats gain power and have their way, the Constitution and the “rule of law” will become obsolete and meaningless. Eventually, the “rule of law” will become the rule of a small cadre of powerful men and women and the elite will finally rule the earth through a world government. America’s sovereignty will be dissolved and its principles of freedom repealed. The people will be but indentured debt servants, in a land ruled by aristocrats and oligarchs, or even worse, the United Nations, or a dictator.
That is the future that awaits us, if we do nothing, a prediction we chronicled in our article entitled, “Back To The Future, The Obama Legacy.” It is a chilling portrayal of things to come in the year 2051.
The sad reality is, the socialist Democrats have been very successful in brainwashing at least the last three generations with the socialist mantra in our public schools and colleges and getting them to believe that America is a flawed country and is to be berated and vilified, not celebrated as an exceptional nation. The latest attack on America and Americans using Blacks as victims of alleged White racism, White Privilege, or White Supremacy, has hopelessly divided our nation and elevated a racial falsehood to a national tragedy and an alleged civil rights injustice where none exists.
This is the socialist Democrat’s ultimate propaganda to gain perpetual political power by any means and render conservative thought and ideology and Constitutional protections irrelevant. Once again, they pit us against each other for their own gain and exploit the lives of Blacks to do it. When will the Black race finally realize that Democrats don’t care one whit about Blacks, they only care that Blacks will vote as a block for Democrats. Blacks have been bought off by Democrats, hook, line and sinker, using taxpayer’s money. Free health care, free college tuition and forgiveness of college debt are just more tools in the Democrat play book to buy off more Americans.
Make no mistake, they (socialist Democrats) are coming for your free speech ….. and your guns. They are tearing down the core foundations of our society, the nuclear family, religious freedom and your property rights. They are trying to do away with the single family home and a yard and replace them with high-rise concrete and steel apartments in the name of smart growth and sustainable development, both UN Agenda 21 policies, policies that were never ratified by the U. S. Congress.
They want to take you out of your cars and force you into mass transit. They are trying to take away your energy by attempting to replace fossil fuels with alternative energy, (wind, solar power and bio-fuels) not only exorbitantly costly at worst, but a pipe dream and just plain stupid at best. They won’t allow clean nuclear or hydro-power to be built for alleged environmental reasons. They want to drive all rural people into big cities so they can better control them and leave the rural areas for plants and animals. They have replaced honorable government with graft, corruption, double-dealing, greed and racketeering. Why do you suppose that the five riches counties in America surround Washington, DC?
If you are looking for the preservation or an expansion of individual freedoms in your, or your children’s future, you are blind to reality and betting on the wrong horse. This horse cheats, lies and steals and has no compunction about breaking the law.
For several decades we have tried the peaceful approach to restore our Constitutional Republic. But the simple truth is, the stupid and ignorant ones have the majority of the votes (mostly from corrupt big cities) and conservatism is short of votes and up against an immovable object, the coming dawn of American socialism. Just how are you going to stop it if you don’t have the votes?
You can’t count on the Republicans to save you. Most Republicans are in the tank to the establishment and will not rock their own boats. Why do you suppose the Republicans have not come out in unison and denounced the current Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA violence? Their silence says it all.
You can’t count on the whole Congress to preserve, protect and defend freedom when they are the ones that are trying to undo it. You certainly can’t count on the bureaucracy, they are the ones trying to take your freedom away by unauthorized legislative fiat. You can’t count on the “We the People” because the people are hopelessly divided.
There is only one remaining and final solution to preserve the Republic: them’s with the guns, en masse, take control of the government institutions, including public schools and colleges, and lay down the law, constitutional law.

"BLM, Covid-19 and Climate Change,
3 Great International Cons"
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

“Hollywood (and government too) is largely about scammers and con men. It was my main livelihood for about 25 years, and the scams were beautiful and ugly, cheap and expensive, but, wow, were there a lot of scammers.” Ben Stein, writer, lawyer, actor and comedian
Both Hollywood and government have been designed to rob you of your money in return for questionable entertainment or mostly substandard services. Government goes one step further and works diligently to rob of your freedom. They have been at it since the ink was dry on the Constitution, as ratified by the Congress in 1788, over two Centuries ago.
Within 10 years of the ratification, President John Adams convinced Congress to pass the Naturalization Act, later to be known as the Aliens and Sedition Act. The Act gave broad powers to the president to deport any alien in peacetime. “The Sedition Act gave President Adams the power to define treasonous activity including any false, scandalous and malicious writing. The intended targets were newspaper, pamphlet and broadside publishers who printed what he considered to be libelous articles aimed at his administration.” (source: history.com)
President Woodrow Wilson did virtually the same thing that President Adams did by requesting the Congress to pass the Espionage Act in 1917, which they did. The Congress followed up with an amendment to the Espionage Act and called it the Sedition Act in 1918. The Sedition Act was later overturned by the high court in 1921. The Acts severely restricted freedom of expression, mandating that public criticism of the military or the government be punished by a $10,000 fine and up to 20 years in jail. The First Amendment and civil liberties be damned. Nevertheless, the Espionage Act is still in effect today and can be used to prosecute individuals who “leak” classified or confidential government information to the press. Unfortunately, most illegal leaking to the press is seldom if ever prosecuted.
The list of actions by government to relieve Americans of their money and their freedom is voluminous and too many to mention here. Some of the more prominent actions include the 16th Amendment, which gave us the Federal Reserve and the Internal Revenue Service; FDR’s removal of the gold standard, Social Security and the New Deal; President Johnson’s Great Society and Obama’s Obama Care. This doesn’t even include a long list of judicial actions and U. S. Supreme Court decisions that further diminished constitutional freedoms. Added to this list are the massive regulations to control the environment at the expense of constitutionally protected property rights and direct violations of the 5th Amendment.
THE FRAUD OF CLIMATE CHANGE:
In spite of the volumes of credible scientific papers taking the air out of the Climate Change (CC) tires, government and environmentalists, national and international, continue to push this fraud down the throats of the masses, forcing them to pay billions and trillions of dollars to reduce the global temperature by 3.6O F (2O Celsius), (Paris Climate Agreement) based on the questionable output of computer models that can’t even predict past or current weather conditions, much less future ones.
Climate Change propaganda and the CC con game is endless. It is in our schools and colleges. The news media parrots the lie day in and day out. It’s laced throughout television nature documentaries. Corporations are even getting on the CC bandwagon and perpetuating the fraud in their advertising. Amazon is re-naming the revamped Key Arena sports stadium in Seattle. The new name will read “Climate Pledge Arena.” Little children are emotionally brainwashed with CC guilt and fear and spout the mantra to their friends and parents.
What is the purpose by government to elevate this con to an international crisis, behavioral control of the planet’s human population? The net effect is to steal the people’s money and put them in chains based on a fraud. (See “Climate”)
THE CORONAVIRUS:
Then there is the Coronavirus con. Governments, all across the world, couldn’t wait to lock people up in their homes and violate two of the most basic human rights, the freedom of movement and free choice. The U. S. Government literally repealed the 1st Amendment and replaced it with the alleged absolute right of government to force people to stay in their homes under the super law called “Public Health and Safety” that allegedly takes priority over all other law. Even though the government put out endless conflicting reports about virus transmission, treatment for the virus, social distancing, protective equipment, masks and other so-called science-driven prognostications and guide lines, being good little compliant robots, the American people complied with the orders, almost without a whimper or a question. Businesses are going bankrupt by the tens of thousands, never to return. Economic losses are staggering and have never been seen this bad in modern times. Whole industries have been wiped out. The Constitution has been repealed. Where is the defiance to government corruption? Where is the rebellion to government tyranny?
BLACK LIVES MATTER:
This is what Black Lives Matter (BLM), protesting against alleged police brutality and racial injustice, has given us, besides the violence, looting and arson. They have managed to intimidate politicians on both sides of the aisle, the news media, academia, corporations and the people into giving into most of their demands. The BLM con has turned the police into villains. (See: “Let The Cops Do It. Oops! The Cops Are Gone”)
Corporations, in acts of massive pandering to bullies, have handed over millions to BLM organizations, giving them immense political power to protest, recruit and lobby government. Huge increases in BLM’s war chest and tacit approval of their actions by politicians and others has emboldened them and given them even more power. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, said when questioned about BLM violence, “people will do what they do” as an off-hand approval of BLM violence.
BLM wants to de-fund the police and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE). They want no new jails built and they want to end cash bail. This is where you commit a crime and the police let you go without making you pay bail money to make sure you appear for your court date. BLM wants to decriminalize prostitution. They want to get rid of the nuclear family. They want police-free schools. That will make school-shooters happy. They want all charges against protestors and rioters dropped. The Mayor of Philadelphia did just that. They want to stop the policy of “stop and frisk.” They want to ban the police chokeholds, a necessary offensive maneuver by police to subdue a physically violent suspect.
But worse than all this, they have turned government against white Americans to placate BLM. Some cities have actually sat their white staff down and told them to be less white. That is exactly what the City of Seattle did to its white staff in June of 2020.
Can you imagine the outcry if a city government sat the black staff down and told them to be less black? All Hell would break loose. The media would go bananas. Democrats would become apoplectic and call for investigations. Petitions would pop up calling for the recall of the mayor and city council. Demands for their resignations would ring out across the land. ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter rioters would go on a nationwide, shooting, looting and burning rampage.
On June 12, 2020, the same day that protestors took over a section of Seattle’s Capitol Hill, the Seattle Office of Civil Rights called all white staffers to a two and one-half hour training session on how to be less white. They were told they would have to give up their objectivity, individualism, intellectualization, comfort and perfectionism. Objectivity is the foundation of logic, reason and science. Individualism is the corner stone of freedom. Perfectionism is the motive to the betterment of our lives and the drive towards worthy achievement.
They were told they would have to give up their land. They were told that whites are guilty of superior justification, self-righteousness, fear and shame on how they treat other races.
Why do white people put up with this crap? (“White People Built America”) Instead of sitting there and taking this socialist, racist drivel, (of course it’s racist) the white Seattle staffers should have either walked out of the session en masse, or attacked the session trainers with physical force as they would attack any vicious vermin. Tarred and feathered would be an appropriate punishment for city supervisors embarrassing and intimidating white city employees because of their skin color.
Don’t you get the irony? Blacks (14% of America’s population) can terrorize neighborhoods and businesses with violence, looting and arson and get politicians to pass laws just for the black race while demeaning and vilifying the white race (72%). That’s racist! But the rest of us sit on our collective asses and say we can’t do anything about it, while sticking our heads in the sand and running for cover from the violence.
Black Lives will Matter only when black lives matter to black lives. They kill each other at unprecedented rates. Black on Black crime in the black communities is much higher than general crime in other communities. Chicago is a glaring example. Their family unit in inner cities is in tatters. Their education level for an advanced nation is an embarrassment. Young black males under perform in almost all learning disciplines as compared to all females and other races. Nevertheless, they want to drag the rest of us down to their level by intimidation through tribal violence. Their game is an outright, in-your-face con. Unfathomably, we are bowing to the con and letting them win because of a society and media-driven myth that all whites are racists.
What happened to the American that gave birth to freedom, tamed a continent and created the most prosperous, creative, industrious and generous nation on earth? Did we somehow breed courage out of them and left them quivering in fear? Will Americans hide in their houses until the jack-booted thugs and bullies come for them, like the Nazi’s did to the Jews in Germany? If they do, it will be too late to take back America from the government socialists and the Black Lives Matter anarchists and only outright war will vanquish the bullies. Why do you suppose that millions of Americans are buying guns?
Man was born with intellect, reason, logic, commons sense and the insatiable drive to be free that has made him the top of the food chain on planet earth. Nevertheless, his claim of mental superiority in the face of advancing socialist bullies like Black Lives Matter, world pandemics and the fraud of Climate Change is hollow indeed. One wonders, if man will succumb to these three cons, to what else will he succumb? The list is long.
Over the last 100 years or more, Americans have succumbed to the Democrat illegal immigration con, the Democrat public school and higher education con, the Democrat health care con, the Democrat judicial con, the Democrat voter fraud con, the Democrat Deep State con, the Democrat DOJ and FBI conspiracy against Trump con, the Democrat extreme regulation con, the Democrat welfare con, the Democrat Planned Parenthood con, the Democrat PBS broadcasting con, the Democrat-controlled news media con and many more lesser cons. President Trump has tried to expose these cons for what they are and get the American people to realize how they are being manipulated, herded and controlled by the socialist Democrat party. Now they are on the verge of succumbing to socialism and the Joe Biden con. If Trump loses this November, it will be a testament to the failure of the American people to preserve, defend and protect their own freedom and the U. S. Constitution. That would make the American people very stupid indeed.

"The Irrational Emotion and Radical Idealism of the Young"
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.
© Copyright Sunday, July 8, 2020 - All Rights Reserved
“The same teen who can't legally operate a four-wheeler in a workplace environment, can operate a jacked-up F-250 pickup on a crowded urban expressway. By denying these opportunities to bring value to their own lives and the community around them, we've relegated our young adults to teenage foolishness. Then as a culture we walk around shaking our heads in bewilderment at these young people with retarded maturity. Never in life do people have as much energy as in their teens, and to criminalize leveraging it is certainly one of our nation's greatest resource blunders.”
Joel Salatin, from “Folks, This Ain't Normal”
One of the great quotes that came from the movie, Forest Gump, was “stupid is as stupid does.” It covers a multitude of situations and none more so than the many times irrational behavior of the young, driven by seemingly boundless energy and a total lack of direction, sound judgment, ethics, or experience. Such behavior bears all of the earmarks of a heat-crazed, brain-fried cockroach on a hot skillet.
Each human is born into a swirling soup of parents and parenting, economic conditions, political leanings, DNA, friends, education, individual experiences and unexplainable behavioral quirks. What comes out of that soup is a realm of infinite possibilities and outcomes. Even so, the possibilities and outcomes are statistically predictable, especially for the age group of 12 to 30.
The teenager to young adult mind is more easily susceptible to wild causes, radical idealism and peer and gang pressure. They quickly fall prey to propaganda, dressed up in the camouflaged trappings of an alleged truth like climate change and systemic racism by whites, or the push to “fix” some injustice, or the righting of some egregious wrong. Without compunction, intellect, reason, logic and the judgment that comes from experience, they are like putty in the hands of unscrupulous con men or evildoers (or politicians) that maliciously exploit them. They have no compunction about bringing harm to others in furtherance of a cause, worthy or not. Blacks are more likely to be drawn into both crime and violent protests due to the breakdown in their family structure and the pitiful attempts to educate them in substandard public schools.
The teenager to young adult is more likely to be involved in peaceful or violent protests, as we have witnessed in the past several weeks. They are more likely to be perpetrators of violent crimes. They have a greater chance of ending up in jail from property crimes, drug use or drug peddling, or murder. The following graph lays out clearly the age vs. crime relationship:

Unfortunately, in 2020, the timing of the Coronavirus, the economic shut down and the killing of a black man by a Minneapolis policeman provided the perfect storm that led to a national wave of irrational ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter protests and wanton violence, with little to no consequences for the perpetrators. Even worse, politicians and pundits from both parties tossed off the violence by outright approval, or acquiescence, apathy and silence. But of course, the violence was for a good Democrat cause ….. systemic racism in America, whether true or untrue. It made no difference.
The attendees to those protests were the teenager to young adult age group and most were Democrats, or had socialist leanings. The large preponderance of these “kids” are without jobs and have been raised rich, spoiled and pampered. Early parental discipline was lacking or non-existent, fathers missing from the family and the teaching of the normal values of honesty, morality, integrity and work ethic were absent in their up bringing.
The public school system is and was of no help either, since the American public school system has become indoctrination centers for collectivism, socialism, radical environmentalism and one-world government. Reading, writing and arithmetic learning are loaded with social justice and politicized by the Progressive ideology. Discipline of students is highly regulated, or outlawed altogether. The principles of freedom, individual responsibility and property rights are down played as tools of White privilege.
The current parental and the public school environments have done nothing to aid in the development of well-adjusted, mature, clear-thinking adults who will later become our leaders and political representatives of the next generation.
Due to willful neglect and psychological mumbo jumbo, the very attributes of morality, integrity and personal responsibility that hold a nation together and keep it from collapsing, are evaporating from our culture. Debauchery and immorality are an overriding theme of our entertainment. The divisions between different constituency groups grows wider and wider. Manufactured white racism has thrown an irreconcilable monkey wrench into peaceful co-existence between the black, brown and white races, aided and abetted by the news media, academia, politicians and bureaucrats.
Political power and the lust for money take precedence over principle. Corruption runs rampant throughout our institutions. Lying and propaganda support and give credence to the corruption. Honor is replaced by want and greed.
All this has occurred because we have lost sight of what is truly important in life. We have sacrificed our young on the alter of expediency and irrational intolerance. We have failed to instill the principles of a strong work ethic and personal responsibility in our precocious and impressionable young. We have neglected our responsibility to teach our offspring about the foundation of our freedom. Our nuclear family is disintegrating before our eyes, divorces are too high and there are too many fatherless families.
This is why there are so many young adults in the crowds that walk our streets at night in violent protest against the phantom of racism, or whatever other cause celeb of the moment. The hard truth is, the nation’s young haven’t been spanked enough when they were growing up. Spare the rod and create a criminal!
What is the answer? Like so many problems, the answer is fairly simple. Take every kid, at the age of 18 (boy or girl) and send them to a two-year boot camp in the military service. When they come out of service they will have been given the discipline and responsibility that will make them mature college students, or disciplined plumbers, electricians, or carpenters, or find a career in the military.
In effect, the military will have given them what they should have been receiving from their spoiled, work-obsessed parents. It may even give them a worthy direction to pursue. If, as a nation, we did this, there would be a lot less protesting and violence in the streets by stupid kids, being led around by the nose by unscrupulous actors (and politicians) that exploit the kids for unconstitutional, socialist and insane agendas, like climate change, free college tuition, forgiving college debt, Medicare for all, open borders, health care for illegal aliens, repealing the Electoral College, tearing down statues, erasing our history and the economy-killing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal.
What we are witnessing on America’s streets today is the all-too-common “Irrational Emotion and Radical Idealism of the Young.” It doesn’t have to be that way. We, as parents and as a society, let it get that way by neglect and a false ideology that perpetuates groundless tolerance for abhorrent behavior.
One wonders if we have the will to fix it, or fix any of the other issues that threaten our free nation that we have addressed in previous articles?
Most cultures collapse from within. Is America next? Must we fight another revolution to restore the principles of freedom and repair the fabric of our once-exceptional nation? Or, do we fail our children, let America collapse and let the chips fall where they may without understanding what the collapse of America will mean to the peace, security and tranquility for Americans and the rest of the world?
But then so what? Who cares? Right now there are not enough Americans that care and are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to convince the other side, by whatever means, that their ideology is flawed and the direction they are taking the country will eventually lead to economic, cultural and social collapse, or even worse ….. war!
Is massive civil unrest or REBELLION the answer before war is the only solution? Must millions of Americans start wearing guns on their hips to make the point that ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter violence will not be tolerated because the politicians and law enforcement are giving it a pass? Must law-abiding citizens take the law into their own hands to retake the streets from lawless kids, in a show of unchecked vigilante justice, as in the days of the Wild West? If nothing changes, it’s coming!
As we celebrate the 4th of July, let us ponder what Independence Day really means in the current environment. What Americans do now, will determine the fate of the World! “If let our kids run wild without consequence, if we forsake freedom, if we sell our sovereignty for expediency or government handouts, if we break the bonds of our Constitution, if we abdicate our right and duty to defend freedom for ourselves and future generations, we shall descend into the mediocrity, apathy and self loathing under which the rest of the world operates and will be pulled down to their level, never to rise again.” (Taken from: "Is The 4th of July Truly Independence Day?")

"Americans, Once Defenders of Freedom,
Have Turned Into Sniveling Cowards"
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.
© Copyright Sunday, July 1, 2020 - All Rights Reserved
“The most effective leaders are actually better at guarding against danger when they acknowledge it that it exists. Cowards, in contrast, cling to the hope that failure will never happen and may be sloppy in the face of danger - not because they don't acknowledge that it exists, but because they are just too afraid of it to look it in the eye.” Simon Sinek, contemporary author and speaker
The forces of evil have stripped your land of civility and reason. Domestic terrorists, with only violence on their minds, have invaded your peaceful tranquility. They care nothing about you, your property, or your right to live and work in peace. They laugh at you while you scurry for cover, or complain to a government that doesn’t hear you.
You watch as your city burns and you turn away, or cower in a corner in fear. So what if city blocks are torched, or anarchists take over, by force, a portion of the place where you live and paint filthy graffiti on sidewalks, streets and buildings. Your government gives them a pass and tells the police to stand down.
Armed thugs are coming up the walkway to your home. Your heart is pounding while you call 911. The person on the other end of the 911 line says, “I’m sorry, we can’t help you at this time. Our police units are huddled in the north precinct and have been told not to engage the rioters in your area.”
If you have a gun, will you defend your home? Or, will you hide in the cellar behind a locked door in the hopes the thugs won’t find you. What if they rob and then torch your home on their way out the door to find another helpless victim in your neighborhood who won’t fight back? Will they find you and your family’s remains in the charred debris of your burned-out home?
You are furious when you realize that one political party actually condones the violence, while another party is silent. It seems those that govern you are afraid of ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter and won’t stand up to them. They are afraid of being called racists.
Through massive propaganda you are told that America is a racist country, but only whites are racist. The news media, academia and the politicians echo this falsehood. Tens of millions of Americans believe the propaganda and feel that they are somehow guilty, especially whites, for the alleged injustice against blacks.
You are told that only whites are inherently racist. Books like “White Fragility”, written by Robin DiAngelo, are required reading in high schools and colleges. “White Fragility” stereotypes all white people as being racists. They simply can’t help it. It’s inbred and genetic….. so a white, educated idiot, DiAngelo tells us. But it is interesting to note that according to the book, white people seem to only be racist against people of color. You know, the ones that are currently looting businesses and burning buildings that government seems to tolerate. But black people aren’t racists against white people, are they?
And yet white people don’t seem to be as racist against the yellow (Asian race) as they are against the black and brown races. Why is that? Because the Asian civilization is almost 5,000 years old and has a very strong, bonded culture, with the nuclear family, education and personal achievement being their highest priorities.
In contrast, the black and brown races are only 200 years out of tribal, hunter-gatherer existence. Their families are torn to pieces and fractured by government policies that are meant to help them, but destroy them instead. Two-parent families are a rarity. Young boys use gangs as father figures. Attempts at educating them in dysfunctional, run-down public schools, where bullies run the classroom, is a cruel joke. Their inherent cultural differences make it difficult for them to integrate into American society. They are told they are victims of a racial culture, instituted by whites and they have no chance for equal justice, or equal opportunity. Whites are told they caused it. Somehow it is overlooked that a huge percentage of professional sports figures are black and earn millions of dollars in salaries for pushing a dumb ball around a court, a diamond, or a football, or a socker field. Should white players loot businesses and burn down buildings because there are way too many black players in the game?
But let’s go back a couple of hundred years. It was white people that defined individual freedom and unalienable rights for all the world to see and live by. No, they weren’t perfect, far from it, but it was white people that drafted the American Declaration of Independence and the U. S. Constitution. It was white people that tamed a wilderness and created a system of justice that can be found nowhere else on the planet. It was white people that built their culture on the rule of law and not the rule of men. Yes, the black, brown and Asian races did some of the grunt labor, but it was the white men that did the thinking and inventing without which there would have been no labor.
We find that this constant trashing of white people because of the color of their skin, has gone way too far and one day there will be a reckoning. That reckoning will not turn out in favor of the other side. (See: “Yes, White People Built America.”)
Ladies and gentlemen, it is abundantly obvious that your government has no intention of reining in the irrational and wanton violence that has beset our nation over the fraud called inherent racism by white people. Because government refuses to stop it with force, the violence is condoned and will continue unabated, while Americans hide in the shadows. The fact is, if the government, the police, the U. S. military, the National Guard and the sheriffs won’t stop it, it then is up to the people to stop it, like we used to do in days gone past. Some Americans are ready to stop it now ….. with force.
A response to one of our recent articles included this comment:
"Americans are seething right now and our Government has no idea how outraged people truly are in this country! I know a lot of veterans have told me that they are preparing for the coming fight! The divide in this country is as big as it was in 1860 with the states hating the Federal Governments meddling in their affairs. My fear is that there will be so much blood shed once this thing starts that it won't stop until there is outright Civil War."
It is very likely that tens of thousands of Americans will have had enough and will begin to arm themselves in defense against an armed, ignorant mob whose only goal is to tear down our society and remake it in their own, tortured, tribal image. This will lead to vigilante justice where the rule of law morphs into the rule of the gun.
How long will it be before squads of armed Americans descend on the rioters and shoot them on site while they are looting and burning? These idiots who would tear down your country are bullies and the only thing they understand is a force greater than theirs. That force is meeting violence with greater violence.
Think about it! America has lived through and survived a revolution from which our freedom was born and a civil war that nearly tore us apart. We have taken on the world in two devastating World Wars. We rebuilt Germany and Japan after those wars that cost American taxpayers billions. Our military might and the exceptional bravery of our well-trained men and women in uniform, have freed over 1 billion people from slavery and brutality. We are the saviors of the world in natural disasters. We, white, black, brown, yellow and red, are the consumers of the world's goods, providing jobs and thriving economies in smaller and even larger countries. Our technology and medical discoveries have not only improved our own lot and our lifestyle, but they have saved and improved millions of lives around the globe. American inventors and entrepreneurs have created wealth and living standards unmatched anywhere in the world. We have sent men to the moon and the "eyes" of our scientific probes explore the Solar System, our galaxy and outer space.
We can defeat this scourge that has replaced intellect, reason, logic and the rule of law with irrational violence. It does not have to send us to the cellar in abject fear for our lives. Stand up to it! Confront it! You already know that government isn’t going to do it. You, as an American, are the only ones that can save yourselves. Because if you don’t, this violent herd of racist insane bullies will own you and you will be but putty in their hands and slaves to their every whim.
This goes for all of the other problems that face Americans today. We have not confronted illegal immigration, so we are overwhelmed by illegal immigration. We allowed our government to force Obama Care upon us and we are now paying the price of huge cost increases and a fractured health care system. We let government pass environmental laws that repeal constitutional property rights and let wealthy environmental groups collude with government to increase the inflexibility of environmental law. We let government spend us into national debt oblivion and say we can do nothing to stop it. We have discovered that representative government is essentially dead, but we do nothing to change it. We keep electing the same power-hungry dolts that rob us of our freedom.
While we worry about the Coronavirus and racial violence taking over our lives, your government has been slowly, over the last 100 years, eliminating your freedoms by ignoring the protections of our Constitution and purposely distorting the rule of law. Corruption is rampant throughout our politicians and agencies. Government has become an institution with little restraints.
A government without restraints is a government out of control. A government out of control is an oligarch monarchy where the oligarch’s rule and the people are subjects (servants) of the oligarchs. The only answer to an oligarch monarchy is a peaceful or violent uprising against the government by the people. Peaceful attempts to restrain government go on for years with little effect. It turns out that freedom is usually earned by blood, not obtained by peaceful means. Freedom is never granted to the people by heads of government that hold the reins of political and military power.
So the question remains, are “Americans the Defenders of Freedom, Or Sniveling Cowards In The Face of Violence, Corruption and Tyranny?”

"So Black Violence Is Supposed To Heal White Racism?"
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

“It was still hard for her to believe what was happening. One moment she was eating fried chicken and the next there was a full-blown riot on the street. The rest was like a crazy roller coaster ride from hell.” ― Jason Medina, from the Manhattanville Incident
If I’m a business owner that has had his or her business looted, robbed, savaged, gutted and burned by black rioters, am I going to be sympathetic to the plight of the black man, women, or child? Will I think that black lives matter? On the contrary! I would want them to pay a price for their crimes ….. a very big price and I would want to be made whole from the damages they caused. Actually, my instant inclination would be to get out my gun and administer frontier justice. It is a given that if more of the looters and arsonists were shot while in the act, no matter what color, there would be a lot less looting and burning.
If I am just an innocent bystander, watching all this violence, looting, burning and law breaking taking place on a national scale before my eyes, whether I am white, black, red, or yellow, should I really care what happens to members of the black race when they care so little about themselves and the lives and property of anyone else?
It seems like all you have to do is to steal everything in site, burn down blocks and blocks of buildings, take over a section of a city, harass and beat up some innocent bystanders and kill a few cops and you can get whatever you want, as other Americans and politicians bow to the pressure and intimidation of wanton violence. You can get the law changed, gut the police force, tear down some statues and get a new holiday. We already have Martin Luther King Day and Black History Month. Do we have to grant another national holiday to the black race (Juneteenth) to get them to stop tearing the country apart? That is bowing to the bully and we all know how that turns out. The bully enslaves us.
Why is it, that as an American citizen, I cannot break the law without penalty, but ANTIFA, Black Lives Matter groups and other anarchists can engage in the most mindless, violent, heinous lawlessness and suffer no consequences whatsoever? What is worse, they are actually getting rewarded for it.
And let’s take it one step further. If illegal aliens can break the law by jumping our borders, taking our jobs and getting generous welfare, education and free health care benefits, paid for by the American taxpayer, why should I care what happens to them if they can break our laws and be rewarded for so doing? What good is the law?
If this lawless trend and anarchy are allowed to continue, America is headed for a rise in White nationalism, mob rule, increased bigotry and discrimination against blacks and potentially a civil war. In such a war, blacks will inevitably lose. Blacks are outnumbered by at least 5 to 1.
In a nation of laws, if certain segments of the population can break the law with impunity, then we are no longer a nation of laws in a Constitutional Republic. Nor are we free! In fact, we would be nothing more than a nation ruled by a violent mob, in a land of chaos and anarchy. Long-time cultural norms would break down, financial and commercial markets would crumble and every-day life would become a nightmare. Perhaps that is what looters and arsonists want, a complete breakdown in civil society so that they can rebuild it in their own distorted image.
For decades Progressives have shoved us closer and closer to mob rule, using the black race and other minorities in their quest. They have infiltrated our government institutions, including our schools and colleges and have taken over the news media. They have engaged in socialist and environmental brainwashing and indoctrination to such an extent that at least three generations of Americans have bought into their flawed, cult-like, socialist, radical environmental ideology. If they take the presidency and the both houses of Congress, they will shove this Medicare-for-all and the ludicrous Green New Deal poisonous swill down every American’s throat. Given the passivity of Americans today, they’ll probably eat it, just like they took the passage of Obama Care without so much as a whimper. There should have been a revolution.
Tens of millions of young Americans have no clue about the history of America, why it chose freedom over a monarchy, why the individual is sacrosanct in our culture and our laws, why the rule of law is mandatory if our society is to survive and why capitalism and free markets provide upward mobility for all citizens, not just a few. Those same tens of millions of ignorant young Americans are the protesters you see on your TV screen throughout the day and all through the night. They are the violent ones and they’ll vote Democrat every time. You are the passive ones and they are beating you at the game of politics through violence.
We wish to point out that many races and genders suffer from bigotry and discrimination. If you are too fat, too thin, where glasses, disabled, too tall, too short, or ugly, you are discriminated against by society.
We have mentioned the discrimination against Asians, the Latinos and the Jews in previous articles. What about the rape, discrimination and violence against women by men? Are women rioting, looting and burning across America? No! Only the black race seems to think that they have some kind of a superior right to take their anger out on everyone else in the form of mindless violence. Even their name, “African-American” grants them some kind of superior elevated status as human beings. Under this moniker, it would make this author an “American-American.” But that would be ridiculous, wouldn’t it?
Most, if not all blacks, have never seen Africa. Most of them were born and bred right here in America and have had the opportunity to participate in the American dream but instead have decided, with the Democrat’s help, that they are victims of a racist society and must be pampered and given special privileges that they seem to be too weak to get on their own.
Here is a little of what one man said about the black race. He didn’t mince words or omit his expletives. We scrubbed it a little.
“You want respect, get a job and actually show-up for it. Pay your bills.”
“Go to bed at a decent hour and quit hanging-around under street lights all night. Get out of the gangs.”
“Quit talking like you're still living on a Democrat's plantation in southern Alabama. Pull your pants-up you wannabe felon asshole. Learn the English language, not some tribal dialect of English that few can understand.”
“Get down to your Board of Education meetings and tell them to fix your school system so your kids don't end-up as stupid as you.”
“And, how are your children going to learn when they're awakened by gun fire in the neighborhood at 3 a.m.? How can they learn when the dumbest kids rule the classroom with sass and vulgarities? How can any discipline be maintained when teachers can't beat the sh…t out of little mouthy bastards? Then you want to send them out into the real world and wonder why cops have to shoot their dumb asses?”
This is what millions of Americans are thinking write now but don’t have courage to say it.
Nevertheless, there are many blacks that have risen from the gutter and above this Democrat-invented victim-hood and have profited and prospered from the equal opportunity that America provides. They are responsible citizens, got an education, got married and had children in a two-parent family. They are doctors, lawyers, professors, politicians, entertainers, painters, plumbers, and carpenters. Because they have succeeded under freedom and capitalism, they are called “Uncle Toms” by the general population of blacks that use racism as a crutch to justify failure, violence and a life of crime.
Man was supposed to have been the animal that evolved into a thinking creature that set him apart from all other creatures on earth. It was his intellect and grasp of reason and logic that allows him to rise above the savage law of the jungle.
But if man descends into the Hell of anarchy where violence is his only answer to perceived injustices, he is no better than the animals that roam planet earth and eat each other. His claim of intellect, reason and logic are but distant mirages that fade from view when you get closer. This violent, non-thinking human animal is no better than a rabid dog and you know what society does to rabid dogs. We do the same to looters and arsonists, or at least we used to.
Ladies and gentlemen, there is no systemic racism in America today, that is until the Democrats created it out of thin air in order to pander to a constituency group (blacks) for political purposes and votes. Democrats created the Klu Klux Klan. Democrats tried to stop the emancipation of the slaves during the Civil War and a large majority of Democrats voted against the 13th and 14th Amendments. They know that if they lose a significant percentage of the black vote to the Republicans, they will lose any chance to win the presidency, or win many down ballot candidates and initiatives. The news media is all in to help Democrats perpetrate this perpetual claim on political power ….. by any means.
Democrat policies of pandering for votes no matter what color, gender, religion, or creed of the voter, in their lust for absolute power, has sent most of our Democrat-run cities and states into hopeless bankruptcy. Their only chance for survival is to be bailed out by those cities and states that have run on sound fiscal policy.
Democrat policies and legislation have ballooned the national debt and deficit for way too many decades. America is broke because of those liberal policies, legislation and regulations. America’s only chance for survival as a free nation is to stop the deficit spending and borrowing, start saving massive amounts of money for emergencies (like pandemics) and start paying down the national debt. Sadly, as long as there are Democrats and RINO Republicans, none of this is possible.
To conclude, there is only one rationale for violence and that is in a massive REBELLION against government tyranny and corruption. We aren’t there yet, but we are getting very close. If the racketeering, colluding perpetrators that tried to carry out a silent coup against a duly elected president under the color of law, are not brought to justice and face real jail time, then the tyranny and corruption will have reached a point in America where a civil war or revolution are the only remedies left to expel the bad apples from our society.

If I’m a business owner that has had his or her business looted, robbed, savaged, gutted and burned by black rioters, am I going to be sympathetic to the plight of the black man, women, or child? Will I think that black lives matter? On the contrary! I would want them to pay a price for their crimes ….. a very big price and I would want to be made whole from the damages they caused. Actually, my instant inclination would be to get out my gun and administer frontier justice. It is a given that if more of the looters and arsonists were shot while in the act, no matter what color, there would be a lot less looting and burning.
If I am just an innocent bystander, watching all this violence, looting, burning and law breaking taking place on a national scale before my eyes, whether I am white, black, red, or yellow, should I really care what happens to members of the black race when they care so little about themselves and the lives and property of anyone else?
It seems like all you have to do is to steal everything in site, burn down blocks and blocks of buildings, take over a section of a city, harass and beat up some innocent bystanders and kill a few cops and you can get whatever you want, as other Americans and politicians bow to the pressure and intimidation of wanton violence. You can get the law changed, gut the police force, tear down some statues and get a new holiday. We already have Martin Luther King Day and Black History Month. Do we have to grant another national holiday to the black race (Juneteenth) to get them to stop tearing the country apart? That is bowing to the bully and we all know how that turns out. The bully enslaves us.
Why is it, that as an American citizen, I cannot break the law without penalty, but ANTIFA, Black Lives Matter groups and other anarchists can engage in the most mindless, violent, heinous lawlessness and suffer no consequences whatsoever? What is worse, they are actually getting rewarded for it.
And let’s take it one step further. If illegal aliens can break the law by jumping our borders, taking our jobs and getting generous welfare, education and free health care benefits, paid for by the American taxpayer, why should I care what happens to them if they can break our laws and be rewarded for so doing? What good is the law?
If this lawless trend and anarchy are allowed to continue, America is headed for a rise in White nationalism, mob rule, increased bigotry and discrimination against blacks and potentially a civil war. In such a war, blacks will inevitably lose. Blacks are outnumbered by at least 5 to 1.
In a nation of laws, if certain segments of the population can break the law with impunity, then we are no longer a nation of laws in a Constitutional Republic. Nor are we free! In fact, we would be nothing more than a nation ruled by a violent mob, in a land of chaos and anarchy. Long-time cultural norms would break down, financial and commercial markets would crumble and every-day life would become a nightmare. Perhaps that is what looters and arsonists want, a complete breakdown in civil society so that they can rebuild it in their own distorted image.
For decades Progressives have shoved us closer and closer to mob rule, using the black race and other minorities in their quest. They have infiltrated our government institutions, including our schools and colleges and have taken over the news media. They have engaged in socialist and environmental brainwashing and indoctrination to such an extent that at least three generations of Americans have bought into their flawed, cult-like, socialist, radical environmental ideology. If they take the presidency and the both houses of Congress, they will shove this Medicare-for-all and the ludicrous Green New Deal poisonous swill down every American’s throat. Given the passivity of Americans today, they’ll probably eat it, just like they took the passage of Obama Care without so much as a whimper. There should have been a revolution.

"Let The Cops Do It. Oops! The Cops Are Gone"
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

“We can't pick out certain incidentals that don't go our way and act like the cops are all bad... Do you know how bad some of these neighborhoods would be if it wasn't for the cops?”
Charles Barkley - An African-American former basketball player
As revealed by the statista.com website, from 2017 to 2020 on average, twice as many whites were shot by police as compared to blacks shot by police. In the broader category of homicides, Black offenders committed 52% and whites 45%. In 2008, the offending rate for blacks was seven times higher than for whites. Ninety Three percent (93%) of black victims were killed by other blacks. Eighty-four (84%) of white victims were killed by whites.
From 2011 to 2013, 38.5% of people arrested for murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery and aggravated assault were black. And yet blacks only represent around 13% of the total population.
How many white men were shot by black cops? We couldn’t find a single statistic on this issue and yet we know that many black cops have an ingrained bias against white Americans.
For 2016, FBI statistics show that there were 8,421,481 crimes committed in the U. S. Sixty-nine point six percent (69.6%) of those crimes were committed by whites and twenty-six point nine percent (26.9%) were committed by blacks for again, a population of only 13%. These are the undisputed facts.
Some people, especially the news media, Black Lives Matter, academics and socialist Democrat politicians, would construe and have construed from this that the cops are racists. However, one could also conclude that blacks perpetrate crimes at a higher rate than whites and are more than likely to come in contact with police, or arrested, or shot by police. Given the undisputed evidence, the latter is much more likely than the former.
To say there is systemic racism in America is not accurate and is a distortion of the facts. And yet it is the charge of systemic racism that is the rationale behind the protests, riots, looting and arson occurring in our cities all around America. It is also the basis for corporations to stroke their corporate conscience, or pander to their black customers, by contributing huge donations to black groups, including Black Lives Matter, a known violent group.
The charge of systemic racism is also the basis for a bunch of ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter types (violent, arrogant bullies) that have seized control of several blocks of the Capital Hill neighborhood of the City of Seattle. The bullies have made a list of demands right out of a Marxist playbook, including getting rid of the police. The coward Democrat governor of Washington State, Jay Inslee and the equally coward Mayor of Seattle, Jenny Durkin, have capitulated to the bullies. Durkin called the takeover the “summer of love.” Ludicrous!
Rather than calling out the National Guard, or expelling the occupiers by a show of a large police force, the Seattle police abandoned their own precinct in the area and handed it over to the occupiers. The mayor has called the occupiers, patriots and wants to engage in a dialogue with the bullies instead of forcibly removing them. Evidently, these Democrat politicians aren’t aware of what happens when you give in to bullies. (|See: “Confront the Bully Or Be His Slave”)
We developed a police force in America to deal with bullies and criminals. But what if the police are no longer there to be the serve and protect “guard” between the bully and the criminal and the general population? In such a case what develops are chaos, anarchy, vigilante justice and every man for him self.
And why is it we are only having this race problem with black Americans. Why aren’t the Asians and Latinos out there protesting in the streets that “Asian Lives Matter”, or “Latino Lives Matter.” After all, aren’t these races being suppressed by White Privilege as well? Could it be that the general black population has systemic problems of its own, like being poorly educated, a large percentage of broken homes, high unemployment and high crime rates? Who is killing blacks? Not the cops. Blacks are killing blacks in their own neighborhoods by the thousands.
And what about the Jews who have suffered throughout antiquity and up to the present day, far more and far longer than blacks have suffered. “JEWS LIVES MATTER” too, but they aren’t violently protesting in the streets and looting and burning buildings. Have you seen some of this anti-Semite stuff? It’s disgusting.
We have yielded to the bully and we are now suffering the consequences. Worse than that, because of the relentless attacks on the police and from insane dictates from their Democrat handlers, have decided to drop back and punt, rather than confront the violent looters and arsonists with force.
But there is a much larger injustice in America that has nothing to do with race. The slow, insidious assault on individual liberty and unalienable rights have been raging for at least the last 100 years or so under the flag of Progressivism (Democrats) and yet there are no massive protests, riots, looting and burning by American citizens because of that assault. There should be but there isn’t.
Why aren’t the police protecting our individual liberty and property rights? Oh, that’s not the job of the police. It is the purview and duty of the politicians, isn’t it? But the politicians aren’t protecting your individual liberties and unalienable rights and they haven’t been for a very long time. In fact, those same politicians are taking those individual liberties and property rights away from Americans almost daily. Yes,” All Lives Matter” but “Liberty Matters” even more. If there is no liberty, “NO LIVES MATTER.”
Let’s talk about a real protest in the name of liberty. Hundreds of thousands of mostly young Americans came out in sometimes-violent protests against what they believe to be systemic racism against the black race by the white population and the police.
Instead, what if normal, reasonable and prudent armed Americans (there are tens of millions of them) decided to protest the loss of their individual freedoms and did so in an organized and determined fashion. What if say 300,000 of those normal, reasonable and prudent armed Americans (that’s all it would take) decided to convince federal and state politicians, by a show of force and a list of demands, that they were going to occupy the grounds of every state capitol and Washington DC until their demands were met. Five thousand (5,000) armed Americans would ENCIRCLE the state capitols of every state and fifty thousand (50,000) would ENCIRCLE Washington DC. That’s only 300,000 armed Americans forcing government to comply with their constitutional duty to preserve, defend and protect the Constitution of the United States and individual liberty, in a nation of 330,000,000 people.
Would these 300,000 armed Americans be justified in their pursuit of freedom and liberty, just as the Colonials were justified in starting the Revolutionary War? You bet they would, even more so than the Colonials. However, would the federal and state governments allow this justified occupation to occur without a massive show of military force to take down the freedom-loving insurgents, in what was once a Constitutional Republic? Not likely.
After all, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) sent in over 200 armed agents to oversee the removal of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s cattle from federal land in April of 2014 and almost triggered a blood bath between BLM agents and hundreds of armed civilians defending Bundy, in front of TV cameras.
The FEDS sent in snipers to kill Randy Weaver’s family at Ruby Ridge in August of 1992. They killed his wife, son and dog and wounded a friend. Randy survived to collect over $3,000,000 from the FEDS.
Again, the FEDS sent in armed military troops and a tank to take down the members of the Branch Davidian in Waco, Texas (February to April 1993) where 76 Branch Davidains died, including 25 children and two pregnant women, in a massive fire of the complex, purportedly started by the military.
Federal or state agents murdered Lavoy Finicum on a lonely stretch of rural road in Oregon on January 26, 2016 and arrested the people that were with him. Finicum, a New Mexico rancher, was a spokesperson for the group known as Citizens For Constitutional Freedom, a non-violent organization in pursuit of individual, constitutional liberty. Finicum and Ammon Bundy’s rag tag group had just retreated from the takeover of the Oregon Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and were looking to have a dialogue with the local sheriff. They never made it to a meeting with the sheriff because they were stopped on a lonely snowy Oregon road by heavily armed local, state and federal law officers.
So the government would oppose Americans for standing up and defending freedom and their individual rights, but they would let ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter take over a portion of a city and not lift a finger. That is how upside down America has become under the Democrat ruling class.
If you let the bully win, whether it is ANTIFA, Black Lives Matter, or the government, you will be forever stuck with the outcome. Take away the cops and the street bullies will have even greater power. Let politicians take away your individual liberty and “NO LIVES WILL MATTER.” Right now, the bully is winning in places like Seattle, Washington DC, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Saint Louis, Chicago, New York and the free heart land of America. If they win and we are all locked in virtual or real chains, we the people WILL HAVE LET THEM WIN ….. without lifting a finger.

Again, the FEDS sent in armed military troops and a tank to take down the members of the Branch Davidian in Waco, Texas (February to April 1993) where 76 Branch Davidains died, including 25 children and two pregnant women, in a massive fire of the complex, purportedly started by the military.
Federal or state agents murdered Lavoy Finicum on a lonely stretch of rural road in Oregon on January 26, 2016 and arrested the people that were with him. Finicum, a New Mexico rancher, was a spokesperson for the group known as Citizens For Constitutional Freedom, a non-violent organization in pursuit of individual, constitutional liberty. Finicum and Ammon Bundy’s rag tag group had just retreated from the takeover of the Oregon Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and were looking to have a dialogue with the local sheriff. They never made it to a meeting with the sheriff because they were stopped on a lonely snowy Oregon road by heavily armed local, state and federal law officers.
So the government would oppose Americans for standing up and defending freedom and their individual rights, but they would let ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter take over a portion of a city and not lift a finger. That is how upside down America has become under the Democrat ruling class.
If you let the bully win, whether it is ANTIFA, Black Lives Matter, or the government, you will be forever stuck with the outcome. Take away the cops and the street bullies will have even greater power. Let politicians take away your individual liberty and “NO LIVES WILL MATTER.” Right now, the bully is winning in places like Seattle, Washington DC, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Saint Louis, Chicago, New York and the free heart land of America. If they win and we are all locked in virtual or real chains, we the people WILL HAVE LET THEM WIN ….. without lifting a finger.

“Is discipline (both mental and physical) in place of coddling, truly child abuse? I don't know, but it sure as hell is effective.” Steven Crowder, American conservative political commentator and comedian
Let’s see. You have a black man who was arrested on a drunk and disorderly charge (we read the 911 call transcript) and subsequently murdered in hand cuffs, by an out-of-control policeman, while three other policemen watched. This was, without question, an illegal application of law enforcement by any definition and the transgressors should be punished to the full extent of the law.
But throw in the news media who never saw a violent event they wouldn’t blast all over TV, radio and news print 24/7 for days or weeks on end. You know the saying, “If it bleeds, it leads.”
Throw in hundreds of race-bating, vote-pandering politicians, local, state and federal, fanning the flames.
Throw in tens of thousands of millennials (stupid young people) who believe government owes them a living (thanks to Bernie Sanders, other socialist Democrats and ultra liberal colleges).
Throw in violent anarchists like ANTIFA, Black Lives Matter groups and communists, all salivating at the chance to break down our society.
Then throw in a black population that has been brainwashed by government, politicians and special interest groups (mostly Democrats) into believing they are victims of wide spread White oppression (it isn’t true) and you have a recipe for uncontrolled mayhem, pandemonium, violence, looting and arson on a national scale ….. without consequence. It is also a recipe for nation-destroying anarchy.
The facts are that from January 1, 2020 to June 4, 2020, police shot 172 White men in America. In contrast, police shot only 88 Black men and 57 Hispanics. Previous years show similar ratios. Given that research finds that Blacks and Latinos have higher rates of street crime than Whites and are more likely to be confronted by police, it is a testament to police restraint that the numbers weren’t higher for Blacks and Latinos. Over 98% of these shootings were legally justified. You’ll never see that on the mainstream media. (Source: www.statista.com)
Sadly, what has transpired over the last week is what you get when society decides that we must molly coddle the nation’s youth (Black, White, Red, or Yellow) and not hold them accountable for bad behavior or transgressions against others. Thoughtful discipline must start early in life or you end up with an adult that does not comprehend right or wrong, places no value on life or property and has no compunction about inflicting injury or death on others.
This is what you get when government jurisdictions pass no-bail laws for criminals and lets them back into society after committing a crime. This is what you get when prosecutors will not prosecute low-level crimes. This is what you get when shop-lifting, looting and arson are non-punishable crimes. If law enforcement shot the looters and arsonists while in the act, there would be a lot less looting and arson.
This is what you get when families break down and are fatherless. (66% in Black families; 42% in Hispanic families; and 25% in White families)
This is what you get when discipline is little more than a soft, verbal admonition that educated idiot psychologists say is the right and effective thing to do but isn’t.
This is what you get when schools are prohibited from administering punishment to students who act out in class, or on the playgrounds, for fear of being sued by arrogant, self-important parents.
This is what you get when you elect socialist Democrats to run our states and cities. You get bankrupt cities, sanctuary cities, massive homeless populations, high crime rates and much larger police forces.
This is what you get when you let high-level government bureaucrats (DOJ, FBI, CIA, etc.) take the law into their own hands and use their immense law enforcement powers to engage in illegal acts against their political enemies.
Without consequences for bad or criminal behavior you get the anarchy we have witnessed in our cities all across America in the last week or so. You also get corruption and racketeering in the halls of government as we have seen in the constant, unfounded attacks on President Trump for the last three plus years. If none of these government, un-elected bureaucrats that have perpetrated illegal use of their authority, are not held accountable and don’t see jail time, political corruption and violations of law will have become institutionalized.
Now just imagine what would happen if our police forces were grossly under-funded, or disbanded altogether, as many Blacks and pandering politicians want? If you think crime is bad now, you ain’t seen nothing yet. The police keep a necessary lid on the criminal element in our society.
Without a police presence in our large cities can only lead to uncontrollable vigilante justice and an armed population that will take the law into their own hands, where justice and due process of law will be flung back to pioneer days and governed by the power of the gun.
To make matters worse, corporate America is magnifying racism in America and exploiting the White Privilege narrative by donating huge sums of money to violent groups like Black Lives Matter. This of course puts them in good graces with the fringe groups and capitulates to their unreasonable demands like abolishing the police and ICE altogether. To see which corporations are pandering to the racists, protesters, looters and arsonists, log onto:

The real issue that drives alleged cultural and institutionalized racism in America is fostered and promoted by politicians and special interest groups that use racism as a tool to buy the Black vote and gain political power. The Democrats have been and are the party that exploits racism, bigotry and discrimination for their own political gain and are complicit in pitting Americans against each other.
First, racial discrimination is and has been, since time began, an ingrained biological attribute of human behavior. It is a fact, humans cluster with their own kind. The greater the cultural divide between different races, creeds, religions and national origin, the greater the discrimination.
You will not find a large contingent of the Black race in Asia. And the horrible treatment and incarceration in interment camps of China’s Western Muslim Ulghur population by the Chinese government, is a testament to that biological and cultural discrimination. China, being a dictatorship, can get away with it.
Attempts by nations to force multi-culturalism on their citizens, has resulted in culture wars and massive civilization failures. What we are experiencing in America today is largely due to ingrained biological discrimination and the significant cultural divide between Blacks and Whites, exploited by politicians for political advantage.
White, European civilization is over 2,000 years old. The White Russian civilization is almost 1,200 years old. The Chinese civilization has existed for over 4,000 years and Japanese civilizations date back to 950 BC. Even the Arabic Sumerians, Akkadians and Persian civilizations of Mesopotamia (Iran and Iraq) date as far back as 3100 BC.
Asian Americans represent a little over 6% of the total population, or approximately 21 million, according to the Census Bureau. Asian Americans are discriminated against by the general population just as much as Blacks and Latinos and yet you very seldom see this discrimination in any news reports. Could it be because Asian Americans rise above the discrimination and don’t complain? Could it be just plain news media bias against Asians in general? In contrast to Black America, Asians have strong family bonds, are well educated and have higher average incomes. The Asian culture is much more closer aligned with the White culture than is the Black culture.
In contrast to the White, Russian, Japanese, Asian and Arabic cultures, Blacks, some Hispanics and American Indian populations are only 200 years out of aborigine tribal status and have not had time to build up the systems, cultures, institutions and behavioral patterns of an organized civilization, thus a huge cultural divide from long-term civilizations. (Family bonds in the Black culture have been shattered by government welfare policies, leading to fatherless homes.) That cultural divide results in unavoidable biological and cultural discrimination that will not evaporate until the gap between the two cultures is narrowed. Cultural divide race wars in America will rage for another century or more, if not longer.
Nevertheless, there is no place in society for those that will not subscribe and adapt to societal norms, no matter their race, gender, creed, or national origin. Un-punished looting and burning is in direct violation of those societal norms.
In America, the guiding societal norms are the U. S. Constitution and the rule of law. A society or nation will unravel into chaos and anarchy if the rule of law has no force or meaning and there are no consequences for bad or criminal behavior. Without a course correction, we are plunging head long into the abyss of cultural disintegration, a break down in civil society and potentially a CIVIL WAR!
How easy it is for some to blame one race or culture for all the problems facing another race or culture. A lot of people do that to the Jews in anti-Semite attacks. Blacks are doing it to Whites on a grand scale. Nevertheless, it is abhorrently wrong and should be resisted whenever it arises.
The White people in America are growing weary of constantly being labeled racists and guilty of White privilege by Democrats, Blacks, the news media, leftist professors and political hacks of all colors and stripes. White people created the entire idea of individual freedom and drafted the U. S. Constitution. White people tamed America at great sacrifice. The fact is, White people built America, the greatest experiment for freedom ever crafted by mankind. That doesn’t make them racists and it doesn’t make them White supremacists. But then neither are they perfect by any means and are subject to all the frailties that beset humans of any race.
With all this said, “if there is no consequence for bad or criminal behavior, there is only anarchy!”

"Now It's Rack 'Em, Stack "Em ..... and Track 'Em!"

and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.

“Let's face it. We live in a command-based system, where we have been programmed since our earliest school years to become followers, not individuals. We have been conditioned to embrace teams, the herd, the masses, popular opinion -- and to reject what is different, eccentric, or stands alone. We are so programmed that all it takes for any business or authority to condition our minds to follow or buy something is to simply repeat a statement more than three or four times until we repeat it ourselves and follow it as truth or the best trendiest thing. This is called "programming" -- the frequent repetition of words to condition us how to think, what to like or dislike, and who to follow.” The writings of Suzy Kassem
Ever since the rise of radical environmentalism in the late 1960's, governments and environmentalists have been working diligently to "condition us" to live in high dense urban cities with increasing densities. Their plan was and is to drive the people out of the rural areas and the suburbs and force them into 25-story apartment buildings in concrete jungles. They call it sustainable development and smart growth, a dirty little afterbirth of United Nations Agenda 21 policies hatched at an Earth Summit Meeting in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. Much has been written about the perils of Agenda 21 and yet its policies are embedded in everything we do. (See "Agenda 21")
To handle the influx of more people to big cities, more apartments were being built than single-family homes. A single-family home with a big yard was the quintessential American dream, a dream which has now evaporated, except for the very wealthy. (NOTE: We bought our first two-bedroom home in 1964 for $7,500. New homes in our area are now selling for $1,000,000.) Someone along this insane environmental path coined the term, "rack 'em and stack 'em", to describe cramming more people into smaller and smaller spaces under Agenda 21.
In a recent article we wrote: "This purposeful design was first created in a 1992 United Nations policy paper entitled, Agenda 21. It was then codified into American law by a President Clinton executive order, without a treaty being debated or ratified in Congress as the Constitution requires. This socialist policy now permeates every level of government and is subtly taught in our K-12 public schools and our very liberal colleges. Even the news media and industry have jumped on the Agenda 21 bandwagon. Government sanctifies this policy with soft sounding names like "Social Equity", "Smart Growth", "Sustainable Development", "Endangered Species", "Conservation Easements", "Biospheres", "Wildlife Corridors" and "Wilderness Protection". One of the motives for all of this propaganda is to drive more people into big cities, where government can more easily control large, dense populations."
"Big government loves big cities, as they feed off of the occupants' dependency and big-city voters continue to re-elect the handout providers. But big government doesn't give one whit about civility. If the population gets more uncivil, government just adds police to bring the people into compliance and increases taxes to pay for it all. In the case of the black ghettos on the south side of Chicago, the authorities mostly just let the inhabitants kill each other."
"Big cities encourage the growth of corruption. As a result, government gets bigger, more corrupt and more powerful every day. The institutionalized corruption of big cities produce people like Bill and Hillary Clinton, Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills, Anthony Weiner, John Edwards, Eric Holder, Janet Napolitano, James Comey and a whole host of Congressmen and Senators. In the end civility, respect, trust, honor, integrity, honesty and freedom lose and corruption and avarice take their place."
But government wasn't done with herding us into big cities. They wanted even greater control of the masses. Along came the 2020 Wuhan, China Coronavirus and that was all they needed to squeeze us even more. Government came up with the term "contact tracking" in order to trace the people-contacts that those with the virus had encountered while they were infected with the virus.
States started forming "contact tracking" teams consisting of thousands of government bureaucrats who would fan out across the country side and start questioning people about their contacts with persons who had the virus. Washington State even employed the state National Guard to assist the "contact tracking" teams. The state also required restaurants and other businesses to "log" every customer for "contact tracking" purposes.
These "contact tracking" teams have the alleged power to force people to stay in their homes for 14 days if they had contact with an infected person, or yank them out of their homes and force them into government housing for 14 days. Do Russian gulags or Japanese interment camps come to mind?
Just how many government, unconstitutional injustices will the people take before they say enough is enough?
The American people rolled over in 1913 when the Democrats passed the 16th Amendment that included the formation of the Federal Reserve that is neither federal or a reserve and the Internal Revenue Service, a Gestapo-like government agency.
They looked the other way when FDR (a Democrat) passed the New Deal and Social Security that took America one giant step closer to Socialism. They laid down and played dead when the government confiscated their gold.
They shrugged when President Johnson established the "Great Society" wherein billions of taxpayer dollars poured to the poor, making them "wards of the state" and good little Democrat voters. Did the "Great Society" reduce poverty? No, it increased it, of course. This wasn't altruism. It was a blatant, hostile and an in-your-face act to maintain perpetual political power in America by buying votes with taxpayer money. They have been very successful.
Americans have tolerated and done nothing while the federal government allowed millions of illegal aliens to flood into America and sucked up jobs, education, health care and welfare money. The illegals are still here, more are coming and they are still sucking up jobs, education, health care and welfare money. The Democrats want to pay stimulus money to illegal aliens, to the tune of billions of dollars, as a reward for breaking our laws. (No! It's for more votes) Legal American taxpayers get to pony up the billions of dollars. Now that's fair, isn't it? This should have caused a revolution.
When President Obama and the Democrats shoved Obama Care down our throats in 2010 there was some moaning and groaning, but nothing came of it. The Democrats won ..... again! Americans just accepted the fact that many lost their doctors and their health care plans and most if not all experienced a huge increase in health care costs. This also should have caused a revolution. It would have a hundred years ago, but Americans have grown soft, coddled and government dependent.
Why is it that Americans have allowed their public schools to be hijacked into institutions of socialist, environmentalism and one-world-order brainwashing and indoctrination? The little Johnny's and Jenny's of generations past (and their parents) have become compliant government stooges that toe, without question, the government line.
Now the Democrats want to keep you in house arrest for the Coronavirus in violation of Constitutional rights, when the facts and data don't warrant house arrest or quarantine. They want to "track" you if you have come in contact with an infected person and lock you up.
Suddenly, because of the virus, governors and mayors decided they had super constitutional powers that exempted them from compliance. Like any good little politicians without honor, they salivated at the prospects of having dictatorial control over the people. They, mostly Democrats, exercised that control with a vengeance.
Americans have allowed the news media to become a promotional agent for the Democrat Party. This isn't the objective 4th Estate as envisioned by our Founders. It has become a radical institution that parrots the Progressive collectivist ideology, to the detriment of truth, honor and constitutional principles.
Finally, government has gone way too far and the people are revolting in huge numbers all across America by ignoring un-Constitutional executive orders. We say, it's way past time to do so. The protests and revolt should have happened over 100 years ago as government tightened the screws on American freedom. If the people had voiced their opposition to increasing government control a hundred years ago, we wouldn't be in this mess right now.
So folks, we have let government "rack us", "stack us" and now "track us" while we stand by in mostly docile compliance. This isn't the America that gave birth to freedom. This isn't an America that tamed a wilderness. This isn't the America that freed a billion people in two world wars.
This is an America that is "so programmed that all it takes for any business or authority to condition our minds to follow or buy something is to simply repeat a statement more than three or four times until we repeat it ourselves and follow it as truth or the best trendiest thing."
Is this the America we want to be? God, we hope not!

(NOTE: We bought our first two-bedroom home in 1964 for $7,500. New homes in our area are now selling for $1,000,000.) Someone along this insane environmental path coined the term, "rack 'em and stack 'em", to describe cramming more people into smaller and smaller spaces under Agenda 21.
In a recent article we wrote: "This purposeful design was first created in a 1992 United Nations policy paper entitled, Agenda 21. It was then codified into American law by a President Clinton executive order, without a treaty being debated or ratified in Congress as the Constitution requires. This socialist policy now permeates every level of government and is subtly taught in our K-12 public schools and our very liberal colleges. Even the news media and industry have jumped on the Agenda 21 bandwagon. Government sanctifies this policy with soft sounding names like "Social Equity", "Smart Growth", "Sustainable Development", "Endangered Species", "Conservation Easements", "Biospheres", "Wildlife Corridors" and "Wilderness Protection". One of the motives for all of this propaganda is to drive more people into big cities, where government can more easily control large, dense populations."
"Big government loves big cities, as they feed off of the occupants' dependency and big-city voters continue to re-elect the handout providers. But big government doesn't give one whit about civility. If the population gets more uncivil, government just adds police to bring the people into compliance and increases taxes to pay for it all. In the case of the black ghettos on the south side of Chicago, the authorities mostly just let the inhabitants kill each other."
"Big cities encourage the growth of corruption. As a result, government gets bigger, more corrupt and more powerful every day. The institutionalized corruption of big cities produce people like Bill and Hillary Clinton, Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills, Anthony Weiner, John Edwards, Eric Holder, Janet Napolitano, James Comey and a whole host of Congressmen and Senators. In the end civility, respect, trust, honor, integrity, honesty and freedom lose and corruption and avarice take their place."
But government wasn't done with herding us into big cities. They wanted even greater control of the masses. Along came the 2020 Wuhan, China Coronavirus and that was all they needed to squeeze us even more. Government came up with the term "contact tracking" in order to trace the people-contacts that those with the virus had encountered while they were infected with the virus.
States started forming "contact tracking" teams consisting of thousands of government bureaucrats who would fan out across the country side and start questioning people about their contacts with persons who had the virus. Washington State even employed the state National Guard to assist the "contact tracking" teams. The state also required restaurants and other businesses to "log" every customer for "contact tracking" purposes.
These "contact tracking" teams have the alleged power to force people to stay in their homes for 14 days if they had contact with an infected person, or yank them out of their homes and force them into government housing for 14 days. Do Russian gulags or Japanese interment camps come to mind?
Just how many government, unconstitutional injustices will the people take before they say enough is enough?
The American people rolled over in 1913 when the Democrats passed the 16th Amendment that included the formation of the Federal Reserve that is neither federal or a reserve and the Internal Revenue Service, a Gestapo-like government agency.
They looked the other way when FDR (a Democrat) passed the New Deal and Social Security that took America one giant step closer to Socialism. They laid down and played dead when the government confiscated their gold.
They shrugged when President Johnson established the "Great Society" wherein billions of taxpayer dollars poured to the poor, making them "wards of the state" and good little Democrat voters. Did the "Great Society" reduce poverty? No, it increased it, of course. This wasn't altruism. It was a blatant, hostile and an in-your-face act to maintain perpetual political power in America by buying votes with taxpayer money. They have been very successful.
Americans have tolerated and done nothing while the federal government allowed millions of illegal aliens to flood into America and sucked up jobs, education, health care and welfare money. The illegals are still here, more are coming and they are still sucking up jobs, education, health care and welfare money. The Democrats want to pay stimulus money to illegal aliens, to the tune of billions of dollars, as a reward for breaking our laws. (No! It's for more votes) Legal American taxpayers get to pony up the billions of dollars. Now that's fair, isn't it? This should have caused a revolution.
When President Obama and the Democrats shoved Obama Care down our throats in 2010 there was some moaning and groaning, but nothing came of it. The Democrats won ..... again! Americans just accepted the fact that many lost their doctors and their health care plans and most if not all experienced a huge increase in health care costs. This also should have caused a revolution. It would have a hundred years ago, but Americans have grown soft, coddled and government dependent.
Why is it that Americans have allowed their public schools to be hijacked into institutions of socialist, environmentalism and one-world-order brainwashing and indoctrination? The little Johnny's and Jenny's of generations past (and their parents) have become compliant government stooges that toe, without question, the government line.
Now the Democrats want to keep you in house arrest for the Coronavirus in violation of Constitutional rights, when the facts and data don't warrant house arrest or quarantine. They want to "track" you if you have come in contact with an infected person and lock you up.
Suddenly, because of the virus, governors and mayors decided they had super constitutional powers that exempted them from compliance. Like any good little politicians without honor, they salivated at the prospects of having dictatorial control over the people. They, mostly Democrats, exercised that control with a vengeance.
Americans have allowed the news media to become a promotional agent for the Democrat Party. This isn't the objective 4th Estate as envisioned by our Founders. It has become a radical institution that parrots the Progressive collectivist ideology, to the detriment of truth, honor and constitutional principles.
Finally, government has gone way too far and the people are revolting in huge numbers all across America by ignoring un-Constitutional executive orders. We say, it's way past time to do so. The protests and revolt should have happened over 100 years ago as government tightened the screws on American freedom. If the people had voiced their opposition to increasing government control a hundred years ago, we wouldn't be in this mess right now.
So folks, we have let government "rack us", "stack us" and now "track us" while we stand by in mostly docile compliance. This isn't the America that gave birth to freedom. This isn't an America that tamed a wilderness. This isn't the America that freed a billion people in two world wars.
This is an America that is "so programmed that all it takes for any business or authority to condition our minds to follow or buy something is to simply repeat a statement more than three or four times until we repeat it ourselves and follow it as truth or the best trendiest thing."
Is this the America we want to be? God, we hope not!

The only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over the government. FDR
Perhaps it takes the loss of a freedom we can see, the freedom of movement, to see the subtle loss of the little freedoms we can't see.
After 45 to 60 days of being locked up in our homes and apartments, all across America, Americans grow restless. Protests are rising around many state capitols and major cities. Large groups are hitting the beaches as the weather warms up, in defiance of government mandates. Some businesses are opening up in spite of the lockdown.
People are starting to question government policies and executive orders that seem to defy science, logic and common sense. Informative articles and videos are popping up on the Internet and Youtube, exposing government lies and misinformation.
Millions of Americans are beginning to ask government, "are you telling us the truth." Why does a "one size fits all policy not comport with the data?" Why is government letting people out of jail to save them from the virus but putting people in jail that defy the quarantine? Why are some lockdown executive orders so over the top, draconian and arbitrary? Why does the ruling class think they don't have to obey their own mandates and are free to do whatever they want, like the Mayors of New York and Chicago, or New York's Governor Cuomo's brother?
Why do some states and cities open up for business and yet other states and cities continue the lockdown? Do governors and mayors really have the legal power to issue lockdown executive orders in violation of our constitutional rights? Where in the Constitution does it say that Public Health and Safety override the God-given, natural rights of Americans?
Then there is the threat of contact tracing where it is determined (by the state) that you had contact with a person who tested positive for Coronavirus. They, the state, can force you to stay at home for 14 days where you can't go out for any reason, or they can drag you out of your home and force you to live in some building of their choice to see if YOU test positive. California is currently training 20,000 contact tracers to do just that. The State of Washington is going to use the National Guard for this purpose. What part of the Constitution gives government this power? Or did government just suddenly suspend the Constitution?
On top of that, several states have set up websites so that a nosy person can snitch (rat) on his or her neighbor, or a business, that dares to violate the lockdown order.
But the real question is, with all that is happening to them now, why haven't Americans been asking these questions of government for the last 100 years while government has systematically and with malice afore thought, stripped us of our most basic rights, along with robbing the money in our bank accounts.
Landowners and their constitutional property rights have been destroyed since the late 1960's when radical environmentalism raised its ugly head with the passage of the National Environmental Policy Act (1969) and the other environmental acts that followed shortly thereafter. Landowners objected but city folk could care less about what happens to the rights of landowners, even if all of their food is grown by those same rural landowners. And there are more city folk than there are rural landowners, so their majority rules. Whatever the city folk want, they get.
Due to incessant propaganda by government, academia and the news media, city folk fell in love with all this environmental insanity, no matter how much it cost, or whose rights were trampled. This urban majority now believe in the fraud of Climate Change and the Green New Deal that have been sold to them by men who wish to put all humans in environmental chains.
All American citizens have been forced to pay higher and higher taxes to fund government's massive build up of social programs since FDR's New Deal and President Johnson's "Great Society." If taxes wouldn't cover the bill, the government just borrowed or printed the money by the trillions, (like it is doing now in response to the virus) to be paid back by future generations ..... if ever! Why weren't Americans asking questions or protesting then as the annual deficit and national debt sky rocketed in the last 50 years to pay for those social and environmental programs, a national debt that now approaches $30 Trillion, after the virus stimulus packages.
Where were Americans when FDR decided to explode the government bureaucracy and attempted to pack the Supreme Court in order to get his way?
Why did the people not question the removal of the gold standard and the confiscation of all coin and bullion gold held by Americans? (FDR's Executive Order 6102) Now our money is fiat money, backed by nothing except the good faith and credit of America. We question the good faith and credit worthiness of America.
Why did the people not object when FDR implemented his "New Deal" that made America a more socialist nation?
Why do Americans not know that the money they deposit in federal banks can be confiscated by the government at any time they wish?
Did FDR really mean what he said in the opening quote? Not likely! What he really believed in was a powerful, central government and a subservient, compliant population. That is exactly what we have now! FDR got his wish.
Where were the Americans that allowed the Democrats to nationalize their health care system under Obama Care? Millions of Americans lost their doctors and their health insurance. Even worse, their costs for health care jumped by orders of magnitude. The government (Obama) blatantly lied to us repeatedly about how we could keep our doctor and our health plans and our costs would go down.
Where were the national protests (peaceful or violent) in every big city in America over this take over of our health care? The protests were token at best when it should have prompted an immediate call for the resignation of those responsible, including Obama and the Democrats that passed Obama Care, without a single Republican vote. What did we get, docile compliance like good little boys and girls that bow to their masters? What should we have gotten instead, REVOULTION!
Where is the outrage over the government's mishandling of illegal immigration and the 22 million or more illegal aliens that are taking your jobs and your money, with thousands more coming across the border every day. Government has shown that it cares more about the alleged rights of illegal aliens than they do about the rights of legal Americans. (See: "How Easily We Allow Government to Suspend Our Rights"
What we describe here is just the tip of the ice berg of executive orders, laws, rules, regulations and government negligence that have chipped away at our freedoms for over 100 years, with most Americans being none the wiser, or even caring just so long as the entertainment was good and the alcohol and drugs flowed like water.
Now, when their freedom of movement is being curtailed by government under quarantine orders for the Coronavirus, they start to say, "Hey! What's going on here? What happened to my individual rights?" We say they are way too late. "Where have they been for the last 100 years while government eroded their freedoms behind their backs, a little bit at a time so the people wouldn't notice."
How is it that a Dallas business woman can be thrown in jail for opening up her business in violation of a lockdown order that may have no force of law under our Constitution? In contrast, why is it that government is allowing thousands of convicted and even many violent felons to go free while this business woman is sent to jail because she wouldn't prostrate herself (bow down) before the judge. Fortunately, the injustice inflicted upon her by this out-of-control, power-hungry Texas judge was overturned and she was let out of jail and became a hero of the common man.
All of a sudden, the people can't go to the beach or the parks, can't hike in the mountains, take their canoe out on the lake, can't open up their businesses, can't go to church or sports functions, are fired from their jobs by the tens of millions and forced to stay idle in their homes where child and spousal abuse, alcoholism and drug abuse, along with domestic crimes, are on the rise.
Tens of millions of Americans can't pay their mortgages, rent, or utility bills and are struggling to keep food on the table. Suddenly, they come to the conclusion that their freedoms are being taken away by government. Again, where have they been for the last 100 plus years? (See: "The Extreme Pain Of Government Mandated Quarantine")
Yes, we recognize that the Coronavirus is a threat to human health. Yes, government had to take some action to protect the population from the virus, based on the scientific evidence they had at the time. Yes, government had to balance the threat of the virus against the disastrous effects of a complete national shut down. But much of the evidence was missing and the actions government took to save us from the virus, were way over the top and heavy handed. It has been so over the top that the people now no longer trust their government ..... that is if they ever did. Government has repeatedly lied to us.
But let's stop and analyze the situation for a moment. On the flip side of this coin, could this lockdown for the virus be a blessing in disguise? Will the people on a large scale now become more aware that their government does not have their best or constitutional interests at heart and are in fact using the virus to increase their power over the masses and repeal more of the people's individual rights? We can only hope that this is a wake up call of momentous proportions and government's power is reduced to its constitutional limits.
Isn't it about time to come aboard the USS Rebellion?

"How Do You Stop A Government That's Gone Rogue?"
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners
and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

"This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it." Abraham Lincoln
Sadly, in the last 100 plus years, the tables have been turned against the American people. The people no longer own the government and instead, the government owns the people. The current Coronavirus outbreak shows just how far government will go to control the people.
The institutions of government have been turned against the people and their individual, God-given rights have been abrogated and dissolved by government fiat. The people have been done in by an ideology that focuses on the collective, not the individual. They have also been done in by their own negligence and refusal to preserve, protect and defend their own freedom.
How else can we account for senior FBI agents throwing the rulebook away and using their powerful agency to destroy a war hero (General Michael Flynn) to get to the President of the United States (Donald Trump) for political gain, in a silent, unseen battle of one party against another? The action was illegal and the cover-up of the illegality was even worse. Will anyone be punished? If not, then what happens to the rule of law?
Why is it that governors and mayors suddenly have the power to suspend your constitutional rights over a virus, an illegal suspension that is now being challenged by the people in large scale protests for that very reason? Court cases against government's abuse of power are popping up in several states.
What if the governors and mayors have just gone rogue and are exercising power they don't have? What do the people do then? But conversely, if the people won't obey the law, the law breaks down. If the law breaks down, there is no law and life becomes a free-for-all where those with the power rule over those with no power in a dictatorial fashion.
What can explain the massive build up in local, state and federal law to the point that the law has become meaningless, contradictory, complicated and in many cases, unenforceable?
How do we confront the socialist, environmental and one-world government takeover of our public schools and colleges by that same collectivist ideology?
Why have we let our borders become so porous as to render national sovereignty, economic security, national security and cultural heritage a joke? What do the people do if government, by its action or inaction, let the problems get worse and worse by the day, the month, the year, the decade and the century until they can no longer be fixed?
It is unconscionable, if not outright unconstitutional that we allowed the Democratic Party to nationalize America's health care system under Obama Care and make it more complicated and expensive. Their publicly stated goal is single-payer health care and if the Democrats take power again, the radical left's dream of Medicare-for-All will be realized, no matter the cost, or the destruction of the best health care system on the planet. Americans aren't leaving America for better health care in another country because most other countries have gone to mediocre, low quality, socialized medicine.
Let's face it. The American government has gone rogue and has broken with the foundation of liberty, as codified into law by the U. S. Constitution. The U. S. Constitution has become just a convenience for politicians, statesmen and bureaucrats to throw around when it fits their agenda, as we saw in the mock Congressional impeachment hearings to impeach President Trump.
"How do we stop a government that has gone rogue?"
The Declaration of Independence gives us a clue: "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, [gone rogue] 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."
President Lincoln gave us another clue: "This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it."
Except for one thing! The U. S. Government has made abolishing the current government a crime in the Alien Registration Act (Title 18, USC, Section 2385): "Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government; or"
"Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States by force or violence, or attempts to do so; or"
"Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof ....."
"Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction."
It is quite possible that we are breaking this law by even bringing up the subject.
Now it is still possible for the people to "exercise their constitutional right of peaceably amending the government by their vote and other legal means." But then haven't we tried that for the last 100 plus years and we still get the same corrupt people in government (politicians and bureaucrats alike) that have gone and are still going rogue, the reactions by government, local, state and federal, to the Coronavirus as a glaring example?
Years ago, back in the 18th and 19th centuries, when politicians got out of line, they were tarred and feathered. During the Whiskey Rebellion in 1790's Pennsylvania, farmers rebelled against the federal government's taxation on whiskey distillers by tarring and feathering the government whiskey tax collectors.
During the wild-west years, local and state governments charged, tried, convicted and summarily hanged people and politicians or other citizens that broke the law, or murdered and robbed people, or stole horses and cattle.
Today, we are letting violent prisoners out of the jails by the thousands because of the virus but arresting people that are allegedly violating quarantine orders and then throwing them in jail. How ludicrous is that? It is just another example of government gone rogue.
We can't take these drastic actions like we did in years gone by because after all, we are civilized people. That's right, civilized people that have allowed a rogue government to repeal their constitutional rights.
All of this begs the question about the purpose of militia groups in the U. S. According to some estimates there are over 200 known, active militia groups in America. What are they doing? What are their goals? They are armed but why do they need guns? For what are they training?
Some say militia groups started organizing rapidly throughout the U. S. after the Waco and Ruby Ridge fiascos, two more egregious examples of government gone rogue. Were the militia groups justified in organizing because of rogue actions by government? Aren't they breaking the Alien Registration Act by organizing as a militia? What is a militia for but to overthrow the government if government goes rogue?
Militia groups say they are organized for educational purposes to inform the American people of their rights under the Constitution. If they are educational groups, why do they train with guns? The answer is obvious. They are preparing for a time when it becomes necessary to "..... alter or to abolish it, (government) 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."
Ladies and gentlemen, we are not advocating, aiding, or abetting anything. We are just asking the questions.
Nevertheless, we add this warning! The American government has gone rogue on so many levels! The rule of law has become one law for the privileged and ruling class and another law for the peasants. Socialism, radical environmentalism, collectivism and one-world government have all but replaced individual freedom and national sovereignty.
If a large percentage of the American people don't jump on the USS Rebellion ship in open defiance of government and find ways to restore our Constitution and unalienable rights, they will find themselves in a China-like existence where every aspect of their lives will be controlled. In many cases Americans are already in a China-like existence with constant surveillance of what Americans do, what they eat, what they drink, where they go, who they see, where they work, where they live, what they drive, how much they earn, how much they spend and what they buy. (See: "How Close Are We To Living Like the Chinese?"
But then the people have allowed it to happen in exchange for security and a few pieces of silver. Like brain-dead idiots, they have been bought off by government and don't seem to be the wiser. So who's to blame ladies and gentlemen for government going rogue? Who's to blame?
Tens of thousands of people are buying guns in large quantities all over America. Why? They are also buying our Constitutional, powerful, legally intimidating "No Trespassing signs" in huge numbers. Why? Because the people are scared to death of government going rogue (not the virus) and they are afraid they won't be able to defend themselves. They have good reason to be afraid!

Sadly, in the last 100 plus years, the tables have been turned against the American people. The people no longer own the government and instead, the government owns the people. The current Coronavirus outbreak shows just how far government will go to control the people.
The institutions of government have been turned against the people and their individual, God-given rights have been abrogated and dissolved by government fiat. The people have been done in by an ideology that focuses on the collective, not the individual. They have also been done in by their own negligence and refusal to preserve, protect and defend their own freedom.
How else can we account for senior FBI agents throwing the rulebook away and using their powerful agency to destroy a war hero (General Michael Flynn) to get to the President of the United States (Donald Trump) for political gain, in a silent, unseen battle of one party against another? The action was illegal and the cover-up of the illegality was even worse. Will anyone be punished? If not, then what happens to the rule of law?
Why is it that governors and mayors suddenly have the power to suspend your constitutional rights over a virus, an illegal suspension that is now being challenged by the people in large scale protests for that very reason? Court cases against government's abuse of power are popping up in several states.
What if the governors and mayors have just gone rogue and are exercising power they don't have? What do the people do then? But conversely, if the people won't obey the law, the law breaks down. If the law breaks down, there is no law and life becomes a free-for-all where those with the power rule over those with no power in a dictatorial fashion.
What can explain the massive build up in local, state and federal law to the point that the law has become meaningless, contradictory, complicated and in many cases, unenforceable?
How do we confront the socialist, environmental and one-world government takeover of our public schools and colleges by that same collectivist ideology?
Why have we let our borders become so porous as to render national sovereignty, economic security, national security and cultural heritage a joke? What do the people do if government, by its action or inaction, let the problems get worse and worse by the day, the month, the year, the decade and the century until they can no longer be fixed?
It is unconscionable, if not outright unconstitutional that we allowed the Democratic Party to nationalize America's health care system under Obama Care and make it more complicated and expensive. Their publicly stated goal is single-payer health care and if the Democrats take power again, the radical left's dream of Medicare-for-All will be realized, no matter the cost, or the destruction of the best health care system on the planet. Americans aren't leaving America for better health care in another country because most other countries have gone to mediocre, low quality, socialized medicine.
Let's face it. The American government has gone rogue and has broken with the foundation of liberty, as codified into law by the U. S. Constitution. The U. S. Constitution has become just a convenience for politicians, statesmen and bureaucrats to throw around when it fits their agenda, as we saw in the mock Congressional impeachment hearings to impeach President Trump.
"How do we stop a government that has gone rogue?"
The Declaration of Independence gives us a clue: "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, [gone rogue] 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."
President Lincoln gave us another clue: "This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it."
Except for one thing! The U. S. Government has made abolishing the current government a crime in the Alien Registration Act (Title 18, USC, Section 2385): "Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government; or"
"Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States by force or violence, or attempts to do so; or"
"Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof ....."
"Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction."
It is quite possible that we are breaking this law by even bringing up the subject.
Now it is still possible for the people to "exercise their constitutional right of peaceably amending the government by their vote and other legal means." But then haven't we tried that for the last 100 plus years and we still get the same corrupt people in government (politicians and bureaucrats alike) that have gone and are still going rogue, the reactions by government, local, state and federal, to the Coronavirus as a glaring example?
Years ago, back in the 18th and 19th centuries, when politicians got out of line, they were tarred and feathered. During the Whiskey Rebellion in 1790's Pennsylvania, farmers rebelled against the federal government's taxation on whiskey distillers by tarring and feathering the government whiskey tax collectors.
During the wild-west years, local and state governments charged, tried, convicted and summarily hanged people and politicians or other citizens that broke the law, or murdered and robbed people, or stole horses and cattle.
Today, we are letting violent prisoners out of the jails by the thousands because of the virus but arresting people that are allegedly violating quarantine orders and then throwing them in jail. How ludicrous is that? It is just another example of government gone rogue.
We can't take these drastic actions like we did in years gone by because after all, we are civilized people. That's right, civilized people that have allowed a rogue government to repeal their constitutional rights.
All of this begs the question about the purpose of militia groups in the U. S. According to some estimates there are over 200 known, active militia groups in America. What are they doing? What are their goals? They are armed but why do they need guns? For what are they training?

"How Easily We Allow Government To Suspend Our Rights"
By Ron Ewart, President

We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

"Dictatorship naturally arises out of Democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery arises out of the most extreme liberty" Plato
"Experience has shewn, that even under the best forms of government, those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny." Thomas Jefferson
"We beseech you Oh Lord, in the name of justice and the sanctity of our God-given natural rights, to deliver us from the edicts of the CDC, NIH and WHO and those politicians that parrot their words and pass laws and issue executive orders from their advice. Although they speak with the authority, knowledge and experience of the alleged highly trained expert, their pronouncements and utterances are based on false premises, in-adequate information, insufficient, inaccurate, or purposely padded statistical data and flawed computer models. They have turned us into virtual slaves in what was once a free land, on a thread of data so thin it should be called pseudo science."
Some educated idiot (purportedly a German researching man's inhumanity to earth)) back in 1970 foisted upon the rest of the world the "Precautionary Principle" theory, "which is a strategy for approaching issues of potential harm when extensive scientific knowledge on the matter is lacking. It emphasizes caution, pausing and review before leaping into new innovations that may prove disastrous."
In lock-step with the Precautionary Principle, your "all-wise" government, from the mayor of every city, to the executive of your county, to the governor of your great state, at the behest of the alleged medical professionals, couldn't wait to lock you up in your home before ALL of the facts were sorted, processed, analyzed and peer reviewed.
From the exalted halls of government, one by one, in the name of public health and safety, came a cascade of executive orders by governors and mayors, giddy with their newfound powers, to shutter businesses, close churches, shut down schools and force people to stay in their homes under the threat of fines and jail time, allegedly to save us from the deadly threat of a virus spawned somewhere near or in Wuhan, Communist China, whose efficacy was not fully known.
Oops! It turns out that the infamous Coronavirus wasn't much more deadly than the common flu where somewhere between 25,000 and 60,000 die every year and that is even with a vaccine. We don't quarantine the entire country for the flu. We didn't quarantine all of America for the SARS, MERS and Ebola virus outbreaks. Why did we shut down America for the Coronavirus? Could it have been an opportunity to implement world government, or some other evil design? Or, is the government testing us on how much we will tolerate government interference in our lives and the suspension of our civil rights?
Yes, the Coronavirus appears to be more infectious than the flu or other viruses, but as the data pours in from all around the world, people are contracting the virus in huge numbers but aren't showing any symptoms. The early death rates of 3.4% projected by the WHO (March 3rd) turned out to be way above the actual death rates that now appear to be about 0.5%, or even lower.
So we shut down an entire country of 330,000,000 people, destabilized the economy, threw tens of millions out of work and forced tens of millions more Americans to be locked up in their homes, for a virus with a death rate comparable to other virus death rates.
But what is even worse, in a state of government and media induced fear, the American people laid down and abrogated their God-given natural rights and handed them over to an inefficient, corrupt and negligent government that doesn't really know what it is doing but is drunk with the power that the virus handed them. (Can we trust that Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx really know what they are talking about with such limited data to go on? Mostly they are guessing.)
There are some protests around the country to the nationwide lockdown but the protests are a token to what they should be if Americans weren't so docile in their approach to government edicts. There should be huge marches of tens of thousands of people surrounding every state capitol in America, in a show of INDIGNANT REBELLION. Is American individual freedom not worth defending any more? Are we but pawns (or toys) of an all-powerful, central government, dancing to every "song" the government sings?
In response to the threat, government has thrown trillions of dollars at the problem in the form of Federal Reserve actions and massive stimulus handouts by printing phony money, to the tune of about $7 Trillion. $7 Trillion mind you! The increase in the national debt and deficit will be with us for decades, probably never to be re-paid. The potential for a deep depression grows by every day the lockdown is extended.
In defiance of government's overreach, businesses should open their doors again. Churches should entice their parishioners to return to the pews. Public schools should get back to the work of teaching our children. The people should start congregating with reasonable precautions like the same reasonable precautions they exercise about the flu, colds and other viruses.
Is this reckless? Some might consider it so. Those who wish to preserve individual freedom will call it, "give me liberty, or give me death."
Sure, more people will contract the virus, but most of them won't know they have it. Yes, some people will die but the entire population will begin to build up anti-bodies to the disease and thus be protected when the virus strikes again at the next cold and flu season. Would a vaccine help? Of course, but that will come in time. Older people (70's and 80's) are more susceptible to the virus and should be protected where possible.
If government can lock up the entire nation, in response to a perceived but questionable threat, in direct violation of the Constitution and the suspension of your unalienable, God-given rights, what else can it do? Anything it wants ladies and gentlemen! Anything it wants!
If government can abrogate the Constitution and suspend your rights, it then follows that they can take away your guns, prohibit you from speaking, stop you from peaceably assembling, interfere with the free expression of religion, outlaw the redress of grievances and take over the free press. (The free press is dead anyway and has become a shill for the Democrat Party)
Like a tyrant King they can tax you to the point of taking everything you own away and leave you penniless and without property. They can invade your home without a warrant. They can throw you in jail without a trial. They can take your life with impunity. What are you going to do about it? How are you going to stop them? The only and final defense against absolute power is armed revolution.
Their power and authority to suspend your rights is the power of the gun, the power of the tyrant, the power of a dictator, the power of a ruling elite, the power of an Absolute Democrat Monarchy, the power of institutionalized corruption, or even the power of too many laws. How close are we to the power of the gun and the abrogation of individual rights? Closer than you might think! We came even closer when leaders in the American government decided to suspend your rights in the name of Public Health and Safety! Under what clause in the Constitution does Public Health and Safety supersede your God-given natural rights?
Now you might be thinking that this can't happen in America. You are wrong because it has already. As an example, right now in the U. S. House is Democrat-sponsored Bill, HB 5717, ("Gun Violence Prevention and Community Safety Act") legislation designed to strip you of your gun rights and virtually repeal the 2nd Amendment through the back door, in direct violation of Article V of the Constitution.
H.R. 5717 would create a national permit requirement to buy a gun, establish a national gun registry, institute a national “Red Flag Gun Seizures” law, ban virtually every semi-automatic rifle in private hands in the country, make it a felony to purchase a “high capacity” magazine, tax firearms at 30 percent and ammunition at 50 percent, provide for jail time for anyone who buys more than one gun in a one-month period, force gun owners to lock up their guns at all times, criminalize the sale of any firearm to a person under 21 (despite a person being considered an adult at 18), ban the sale of suppressors, and make it a crime to construct a gun in one’s own home.
Among the many far-reaching provisions in the bill, Section 803 of the draconian bill, under “Increase in excise taxes relating to firearms,” would amend Section 4181 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to read as:
There is hereby imposed upon the sale by the manufacturer, producer, or importer of the following articles a tax equivalent to the specified percent of the price for which so sold:
(1) Articles taxable at 30 percent:
Will this Bill accomplish what its sponsors intend it to do, "prevent gun violence?" In a pig's eye! It's a ruse, a con and a fraud, like most Democrat legislation! Make no mistake! Their goal is gun registration and then confiscation.
If this Bill were to pass and signed into law, it would make millions of Americans lawbreakers and make gun ownership so expensive as to render ownership impossible for the average citizen. It would drive many gun manufacturers out of business, which of course is the Democrat's plan to take your guns away.
The Bill has no chance of passage now, but what if Trump is not re-elected in November and the Democrats take the House, the Senate and the Presidency? Remember, this is how we got Obama Care.
What is happening in America today is the direct result of "How Easily Americans Allow Government To Suspend Their Rights", mostly because they are not paying any attention.

- Firearms (other than pistols and revolvers).
- Any lower frame or receiver for a firearm, whether for a semiautomatic pistol, rifle, or shotgun that is designed to accommodate interchangeable upper receivers.

ON THE PATH TO ENSLAVEMENT: "Want of foresight, unwillingness to act when action would be simple and effective, lack of clear thinking, confusion of counsel until the emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong - these are the features which constitute the endless repetition of history." Winston Churchill
Many people ask, how did America get where it is today? Have we always had this many problems that apparently can't be solved? Were we always this divided? Has our own success as a people and as a country robbed us of our virtues, morals, honor and integrity? Have we so quickly forgotten that our success is a direct result of our freedom, a freedom that we now forsake in exchange for security and free stuff from government? (See: "We Are Free Because of Our Constitution")
Why have we let government become so powerful that as once sovereign citizens of a free nation, we are now nothing more than a social security number in a giant mainframe computer and indentured debt servants to a national debt that is so large it can never be repaid?
Why have we succumbed to a corrupt system of government where our representatives no longer represent us, but are willing participants in a diabolical one-world scheme, orchestrated by the highest bidder?
Why have we allowed almost the entire Fourth Estate (Press) to become the shill for one political party when it was designed to be the constitutionally sanctioned, (1st Amendment) objective tool to expose government misdeeds, corruption and tyranny?
Why have we turned our heads away from our public education system and academia from becoming a monolith of thought that only subscribes to one ideology and violently rejects all other ideologies.
Why do we not demand that our political representatives fix the nagging problems that eat away at our production, disrupt our economy, dissolve our sovereignty, open our borders, promote world government, constrain us with radical environmentalism, rob us of jobs, make our people weaker and dependent on government, corrupt our health care system and divide us by ethnicity, race, gender, age and wealth? Instead of fixing the problems, government divides us so that we fight with each other rather than taking on corrupt and derelict politicians and bureaucrats who refuse to do their job. In fact, why isn't Congress in session right now during this Coronavirus crisis?
Is it any wonder that Americans are overwhelmed, angry, frustrated, distracted, confused and divided and they have no idea what to do about it, that is if they cared?
Today, as a nation, we are under a virtual, undeclared martial law. We sit, locked in our homes, while power-hungry politicians issue very restrictive quarantine executive orders, without regard to our individual freedom and unalienable rights. Their executive orders are not based on available science. Those orders are based on nothing more than raw political power, as was just recently demonstrated in living color by the Governor of Michigan. Can we expect that their extraordinary executive powers will dissolve after the threat of the virus is over? Hardly! Their power will only increase because we let them get away with it this time and too many times before.
Remember the chilling words of Henry Kissinger in a 1992 speech to a meeting of the Bilderberg Group: "Today Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will pledge with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being, granted to them by their world government." (Substitute "threat" with the "Coronavirus" - Substitute "world government" with "national government.")
In the name of the over-used "Public Health and Safety" doctrine, that evidently has the power to supercede or suspend civil rights, government has turned us into virtual slaves ..... for allegedly our own good. They dump in-accurate computer model predictions upon us to instill irrational fear in the masses so that the people will bow down to the wisdom of the "esteemed" politicians and gilded experts.
They tell us one thing one day and then reverse themselves the next. They inflict the damaging effects of a national quarantine on our financial and emotional wellbeing, in a reckless disregard for the vastly potentially worse damage of a precipitously sinking economy, in a tug-of-war between the lesser of two evils. Millions of Americans are out of work and tens of thousands of businesses bankrupt or going bankrupt. WHY SHOULD WE TRUST THEM?
They enslave us even further by writing thousands of social and environmental laws and millions of bureaucratic rules. (See: "Too Many Laws")
They've let thousands of prisoners loose from our prisons so that they won't get the virus and then tell us we can no longer buy guns to protect ourselves. They'll let a rapist out of jail but send Roger Stone to jail for a process crime. If we decide to lie on the beach with no one else around, or paddle our one-man kayak out on the lake, we are arrested for violating the quarantine order. A pastor is arrested for preaching to his parishioners that are sitting in their cars with the windows rolled up, listening to the pastor on FM radio. WHY DO AMERICANS PUT UP WITH IT?
They forced the disastrous Obama Care health care system upon us that has confused, complicated and significantly raised the cost of health care in America and by some quirk of twisted interpretation, the U. S. Supreme Court declared it constitutional.
Government and radical environmentalists drive the flawed Climate Change fraud down our collective throats, force us to pay huge taxes to subsidize wind and solar power, won't authorize more clean hydro dams or nuclear power plants to be built and wants us to cut way back on the use of cheap fossil fuels. (See: "Climate")
They have so eroded constitutional property rights in America by passing thousands upon thousands of unconstitutional environmental laws and rules, property rights no longer have any meaning and yet property rights were one of the pillars of our freedom. What do we do to defend and protect those rights as a nation? Nothing! (See: "Rights")
American landowners are constantly harassed and abused by an alphabet soup of federal and state agencies (ESA, EPA, ACofE, USFW, DOI, DOE, DNR, etc.). They can't move sideways without falling afoul of one or more of these laws and rules. It is bad enough that farmers and ranchers must battle the weather, insects, blight, mold, debt and fluctuating markets, they have to contend with corrosive environmental laws and the intransigence of environmentally biased government inspectors.
We've let other nations, like China, run all over us, economically and militarily. We're pushed around by rogue nations and yet we let them get away with it. Sure, we throw a few sanctions or some tariffs their way, but other nations violate the sanctions or the tariffs.
The Congress has allowed our immigration system to break down by refusing to fix it, creating hordes of illegal aliens that cross our borders illegally every month and then get on our generous welfare system, at the taxpayer's expense. Millions of socialist Democrats want to grant citizenship to these illegal aliens, (future voters) provide them with free health care and shield them from deportation, even if they have committed serious crimes.
The American government allows over a million foreign workers into America each year, taking jobs away from legal Americans. Many times the American worker is forced to train the foreign worker before losing his or her job. That's not just nuts, it's criminal!
Government, in response to the virus, has attempted to save our collective butts by printing two trillion dollars and dolling it out to millions of Americans, making us even more virtual "slaves" of and dependent on government. The government is planning to print many more trillions in the same pursuit. The inevitable result of their actions will be to trigger inflation and maybe even hyperinflation. These efforts may prove to be useless and even more damaging, if the national quarantine goes on any longer. Opposition to the blanket quarantine is beginning to erupt in various parts of the country. That opposition will continue to grow the longer the quarantine stays in place.
Nevertheless, ladies and gentlemen, no matter how confused, overwhelmed and angry the people are, we are not absolving them of their responsibility to stand up to government, or be so eager to demand "free stuff" from government, nor forgiving them for their willingness to capitulate to unconstitutional government demands, since most government laws and demands today have become blatantly unconstitutional, as defined by the true intent of the Founding Fathers. People eventually get what they deserve because of their actions or in-actions.
But must Americans allow history to repeat itself, like Winston Churchill described in the opening quote, in a sequel to what other free nations have done by slowly slipping into the clutches of socialism, corruption and tyranny, where only war can break the steel shackles that enslave us?
Barry Goldwater said that, "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. Moderation in pursuit of justice is no virtue." We'll put it in a more forceful way: "Defiance in the face of tyranny, IS FREEDOM!" Unfortunately today, there is more blind "compliance" than there is determined "defiance."

Many people ask, how did America get where it is today? Have we always had this many problems that apparently can't be solved? Were we always this divided? Has our own success as a people and as a country robbed us of our virtues, morals, honor and integrity? Have we so quickly forgotten that our success is a direct result of our freedom, a freedom that we now forsake in exchange for security and free stuff from government? (See: "We Are Free Because of Our Constitution")
Why have we let government become so powerful that as once sovereign citizens of a free nation, we are now nothing more than a social security number in a giant mainframe computer and indentured debt servants to a national debt that is so large it can never be repaid?
Why have we succumbed to a corrupt system of government where our representatives no longer represent us, but are willing participants in a diabolical one-world scheme, orchestrated by the highest bidder?
Why have we allowed almost the entire Fourth Estate (Press) to become the shill for one political party when it was designed to be the constitutionally sanctioned, (1st Amendment) objective tool to expose government misdeeds, corruption and tyranny?

"How Close Are We To Living Like The Chinese?"
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners
and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.
© Copyright Sunday, April 12, 2020 - All Rights Reserved
Chinese Communist Party Oath of Membership: "It is my will to join the Communist Party of China, uphold the Party's program, observe the provisions of the Party constitution, fulfill a Party member's duties, carry out the Party's decisions, strictly observe Party discipline, guard Party secrets, be loyal to the Party, work hard, fight for communism throughout my life, be ready at all times to sacrifice my all for the Party and the people, and never betray the Party."
Hitler Party Oath: "I swear loyalty to the Reich's constitution and pledge, that I as a courageous soldier always want to protect the German Reich and its legal institutions, (and) be obedient to the Reich President and to my superiors."
They snuck in the back door, infiltrated our institutions and academia, stole our secrets, copied our intellectual property, sent spies into our companies, established a Chinese communications network, bought up our national debt with American dollars ($1.17 Trillion), corrupted our trade policies, altered our news, hacked our computers, threatened our national security and undermined our values and principles, all under the noses of American politicians and in many cases, aided and abetted by those same politicians. The American people, being none the wiser, are now in a Chinese death grip of changing culture, academic influence, disrupted supply chains, threats to cut off needed medical supplies, hooked on Chinese products and at the mercy of Chinese skullduggery, propaganda and lies.
China's goal of world domination is no closely guarded secret. Their plan is well underway and most of that plan has been built with American dollars. China is building ports, roads and bridges all over the planet in its attempt to peddle Chinese influence and control. It is signing trade deals with multiple countries for critical resources and raw materials. Its focus on high tech could pole vault China into a world leader, surpassing America's once dominant role.
China has now given the world another biological pandemic with the Coronavirus and forced world governments to order what is just short of martial law in a planet-wide lockdown of the masses. The cost and human toll may never be known.
For three to four decades, America and many other nations have sold their proverbial souls to China in exchange for cheap labor, that is until President Trump threw a large monkey wrench into the corrupt gears of a nation state with no honor.
China is a heavily regulated society, enforced by a military dictatorship. Its citizens are nothing but pawns of a communist oligarchy, ruled by the National People's Congress, the President and the State Council. China's meteoric rise into a commercial and military super power over the last few decades was based almost solely on propaganda, lies, cheating and theft of the creative products of other nations, mostly American technology. It still is!
To control the Chinese people even more than they already are, China has instituted what is called a social credit system. The system was described by one journalist as China's "most ambitious project in social engineering since the Cultural Revolution (1966)." The system is designed to give each Chinese citizen a credit (or social) score based on their individual deeds and actions. A bad score will keep a Chinese citizen from riding trains or airplanes, or keep them from working as civil servants, or even in certain industries. Many Chinese do not like this new credit score system and are voicing their opposition. But voicing opposition under the Chinese Communist Party can be extremely dangerous. Some doctors who blew the whistle on the Coronavirus simply disappeared.
That's China. What about America?
Since China dumped the Coronavirus on America and the rest of the world, the individual freedom and unalienable, constitutional rights of American citizens have been tossed in the garbage can with reckless abandon. State governors, county executives and city mayors, drunk with new found quarantine powers, have issued executive orders demanding Americans be tethered to their homes and only essential services are allowed to remain open for business. These political "executives" get to decide what is essential and what isn't. In Michigan, the esteemed governor has ordered that greenhouses and garden stores be closed and seed sales suspended, during the spring mind you! And yet hardware stores can be open.
In many states, private construction has been shut down but allegedly "needed" public projects are allowed to continue.
Just recently a pastor in Mississippi was arrested and his parishioners were sent home by a large police presence. The pastor was told by the police that he no longer had any rights under the mayor's quarantine laws, even though all of the parishioners were in their own cars with the windows rolled up and were listening to the pastor on FM radio, observing the CDC's social distancing guidelines. The pastor and the parishioners were not hurting anyone or putting anyone in danger of transmitting the virus. Nevertheless, how dare he violate the supreme mayor's executive order!
What has become abundantly obvious is that the American government, at every level, has the power to suspend all civil liberties and unalienable rights in the name of public health and safety. The threat to public health and safety is at the sole discretion of the executive branch, based on what have turned out to be inaccurate computer models, or at the whim of some medical professional (Dr's Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx) whose statements change by the day. "Don't need to wear a mask." "Yes, wear a mask."
These same type computer models, based on flawed data, and the pontifications of alleged climate professionals, are what drives man-caused global warming policy, scares the people into irrational fear and guilt and forces the masses to pay billions and trillions to solve a global climate issue that has been proven to not be caused by humans. (See: "Climate")
Maybe the Coronavirus and Climate Change issues aren't like China's military style regimentation and their social credit scoring system, but they are designed to put Americans in chains nevertheless. If Americans don't feel like they are in chains, they must be brain dead. They're do-nothing, compliant actions speak volumes. Millions of Americans are weak, spoiled, pampered by and dependent on a government that cares nothing for the people's welfare, only their vote.
But ladies and gentlemen, we are Americans for God's sake. Where is our backbone? Why do we lie down and let a few power-hungry oligarchs determine our path, destiny and our freedom?
The blood of heroes and patriots courses through our arteries and veins. Millions of men and women have paid the ultimate sacrifice and many have been maimed for life so that we can stand free on a new continent, where freedom was born.
We are the descendants of those whose spine was stiffened by courage when their country called, or evil raised its ugly head. We are the direct lineage of the men and women whose intellect and fortitude carried them to new heights and made America the greatest, proudest, industrious, creative, productive and most generous nation on Earth. We are the sons, daughters, grandsons and grand daughters of those who stood up to tyranny, no matter what the cost. The genes of creators, inventors, hard workers, the educated, the warriors and those in service to others, are an integral part of our DNA and it lies dormant in our being until it is called upon to do good ..... or destroy evil.
Americans are not enslaved and regimented Chinese. We are a free people in mind, body and spirit. We do not bow down to evil and tyranny. We chew up and spit out evil and tyranny when they begin to grow like a cancer in our midst.
Unfortunately we have allowed evil and tyranny to become more than a cancer in our midst. They threaten our very livelihood and freedom. The overt and heavy-handed government policies to control the Coronavirus have opened the door to further violations of our civil rights and liberties. Are we to succumb to them, or will we rise up en masse and smite them?
After the smoke of the virus has cleared, will we have let the genie of slavery out of its bottle, to rule us by flawed computer models and the alleged professional experts, who get it wrong all the time, in the name of public health and safety?
Remember! Americans are the light to the rest of the world, not because we are better than anyone else, but because we live under the bright light of liberty that frees us to climb the highest mountains, or jump off this once giant planet into the vastness of space, where only the brave dare tread, in search of the secrets of our island Universe.
Today, before us lies an obstacle and the obstacle is not a foreign enemy but a false domestic ideology that consumes our freedom like a dry sponge soaks up water; an ideology that is born of the collective where the individual is subordinate to that collective, (communism-socialism-collectivism) in direct conflict with each American's unalienable rights; an ideology that is hidden in deceit and is the antithesis of freedom and liberty. It is an ideology that requires obedient compliance ..... compliance to the demands of a corrupt elite who seek absolute power over the masses, rather than Americans putting up a strong resistance to those who seek that power.
This ideology is one of retreat and appeasement. It is one of "hold back" and "slow down", instead of moving forward with boldness like we used to do in days gone by. It is an ideology that seeks to weaken America, not strengthen it. But worse, it is an ideology that strips individuals of their own innate strength and free choice and makes them dependent on the collective and the corrupt elite, instead of being proud, responsible and self-reliant.
We have a choice. We can lie down and play dead for the Chinese model of military regimentation here in America, or we can rise up like free people are supposed to do and reclaim the freedom our forefathers gifted to us ...... at great sacrifice.
Americans may not be living like the Chinese are today, but how long will it be before the American government sets a Chinese style social order system for the virus? How long will it be before all Americans must have a government-issued card that says they are virus free, or an RFID chip planted in a person's earlobe containing all of their personal information? If Americans will put up with any of these controlling devices, they are no longer Americans, just sheep being herded by a giant government sheep dog.

Americans are the light to the rest of the world, not because we are better than anyone else, but because we live under the bright light of liberty that frees us to climb the highest mountains, or jump off this once giant planet into the vastness of space, where only the brave dare tread, in search of the secrets of our island Universe.
Today, before us lies an obstacle and the obstacle is not a foreign enemy but a false domestic ideology that consumes our freedom like a dry sponge soaks up water; an ideology that is born of the collective where the individual is subordinate to that collective, (communism-socialism-collectivism) in direct conflict with each American's unalienable rights; an ideology that is hidden in deceit and is the antithesis of freedom and liberty. It is an ideology that requires obedient compliance ..... compliance to the demands of a corrupt elite who seek absolute power over the masses, rather than Americans putting up a strong resistance to those who seek that power.
This ideology is one of retreat and appeasement. It is one of "hold back" and "slow down", instead of moving forward with boldness like we used to do in days gone by. It is an ideology that seeks to weaken America, not strengthen it. But worse, it is an ideology that strips individuals of their own innate strength and free choice and makes them dependent on the collective and the corrupt elite, instead of being proud, responsible and self-reliant.
We have a choice. We can lie down and play dead for the Chinese model of military regimentation here in America, or we can rise up like free people are supposed to do and reclaim the freedom our forefathers gifted to us ...... at great sacrifice.
Americans may not be living like the Chinese are today, but how long will it be before the American government sets a Chinese style social order system for the virus? How long will it be before all Americans must have a government-issued card that says they are virus free, or an RFID chip planted in a person's earlobe containing all of their personal information? If Americans will put up with any of these controlling devices, they are no longer Americans, just sheep being herded by a giant government sheep dog.

"Don't Blame Trump For The Virus, Blame Big Cities"

"Creation destroys as it goes, throws down one tree for the rise of another. But ideal mankind would abolish death, multiply itself million upon million, rear up city upon city, save every parasite alive, until the accumulation of mere existence is swollen to a horror." D. H. Lawrence, English Writer (1885 - 1930)
Most of us know by now that the Coronavirus erupted in Wujan, China, a VERY LARGE city of 11 million people, sometime in November of 2019. Allegedly, the outbreak was supposed to have occurred in the Wujan Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market. However, there has been much debate as to whether the virus was accidentally released from a bio lab in the vicinity. We may never know the true origin of the virus.
China, being essentially a dictatorship, immediately locked down over 50 million people in several large cities in the Hubei province. They built two dedicated hospitals in a little over a week. One public health expert was reported to have said that, "China has rolled out perhaps the most ambitions, agile and aggressive disease control effort in history."
Their aggressive efforts have paid off and China now appears to have past the apex of the virus, as new cases have slowed throughout the country. Not so the rest of the world.
The Bubonic Plague (black death, 1347 to 1351) killed an estimated 25 million people in Europe. At first, the parasite that caused the deaths, was spread by fleas and ticks, carried by rats that infected humans. However, it is now believed that most of the deaths came from human-to-human contact, predominantly in LARGE CITIES due to overcrowding and poor sanitation conditions. Human beings became the carriers of the disease because humans were also carrying the fleas and the ticks.
The Coronavirus has struck the city of New York, a VERY BIG INTERNATIONAL CITY of 8.6 million people. New Yorkers live very close together and millions of foreigners visit New York City every day from all around the world, foreigners that are carrying the Coronaviurs. That the virus is pandemic in New York and that hospitals are being overwhelmed should come as no surprise to anyone. After all, at the beginning of the outbreak, health officials and politicians were telling New Yorkers that there was very little danger from the virus and to go about their business as usual. That turned out to be very bad advice.

That turned out to be very bad advice.
It is estimated that over 430,000 Americans repatriated from China at the peak of the outbreak, many of them carriers of the disease. Those "potential" carriers spread throughout America with the devastating results we are now observing.
The point here is that big cities become epicenters for the outbreak of any major disease, no matter upon which continent the city exists. Because of massive international air travel, any disease spreads across the globe at un-imaginary speeds, from east to west and west to east. The fact is, big cities are hazardous to people's health and welfare.
The behavior of people living tightly in big cities produces its own share of problems. High crime rates and noise, air and water pollution are just a few of the consequences. Big cities require large police forces to enforce laws and civility. Big cities dump their concentrated pollution on the environment and then expect everyone else to comply with environmental protection, except them selves.
Big cities are also dangerous places to be in times of war and natural disasters. Earthquakes, fires, floods and rapidly spreading diseases find ready victims in big cities that can produce large losses of life. The Earthquake and resulting fire in San Francisco (1906) and the Great Chicago Fire (1871) are two prime examples.
Most of the deaths occurring from the Black Plague, during the era of the Dark Ages, occurred in the largest cities where the concentrated garbage and poor sanitation attracted the rats that carried the fleas that carried the disease.
During war, opposing enemies don't bomb the countryside, they bomb big cities where the manufacturing plants build the machines and weapons of war and where large populations of men, women and children can be killed to bring the enemy to its knees. Need we mention Hiroshima, Nagasaki and the firebombing of Dresden, Germany in World War 2? Just imagine the loss of life in big cities around the world if nuclear war erupted across the planet. Not even God could help us then.
Man's need to congregate and associate can sometimes work to his detriment.
But the other consequence of high-dense living is the steady lowering of the bar of civility, respect and trust. Human behavior changes under the conditions of living closer together. It does so because of a basic human fact. No matter what the government, socialists, or the environmentalists will tell you, people like and need "their" space and the space does not come in a 1,000 sq. ft. apartment in a 25-story building, surrounded by concrete on all sides, in a big city. Suburbs became a partial answer to the human need for space. But then the suburbs began to increase in density as governments got into the act of "planning" where we live and work.
Increasing city densities is one of the desired policies under UN's Agenda 21 and all environmentalists.
As government increases its power over the people through quarantines and massive bailouts, the people become wards of a massive government apparatus from which there is no escape. All Americans now owe their very lives and livelihood to this potentially corrupt, wasteful, inefficient and abusive apparatus.
Big government loves big cities, as they feed off of the occupants' dependence on government and big-city voters continue to re-elect the handout providers. Big government doesn't give one whit about civility. If the population gets more uncivil, government just adds police to bring the people into compliance and increases taxes to pay for it all. Like too many rats in a cage, the populations of big cities will get less and less civil as their densities increase and will become more and more dependent on government for their survival. Big cities produced big government and government gets bigger and more powerful every day. In the end civility, respect, trust, honor, integrity, honesty and freedom lose.
It is without a doubt that Trump had nothing to do with the Coronavirus outbreak and is doing everything within his power to save as many American lives as possible with the policies he and the Congress have authorized. He has surrounded himself with highly credentialed experts and people willing to go the distance to stop the spread of the virus without sending the economy into a non-recoverable depression. It is a balancing act that might win but could also have disastrous consequences if those policies turn out to be wrong.
What the Trump Administration and the Congress are doing is a little like administering Chemo Therapy to a cancer patient. The hope is the Chemo Therapy will kill the cancer, before it kills the patient. It is a high stakes, high-risk poker game where no one knows the outcome and it is mostly necessary to save the giant populations of high-dense, over-populated urban cities, like New York City.
In contrast, Seth Low, 23rd Mayor of Brooklyn, New York and President of Columbia University (1850 to 1916) had a different take on big cities. He was reported to have said: "The great city can teach something that no university by itself can altogether impart: a vivid sense of the largeness of human brotherhood, a vivid sense of man's increasing obligation to man; a vivid sense of our absolute dependence on one another."
Author Ayn Rand had a different take on man's obligation to man: She said, "Man - every man (and woman) is an end in himself, not a means to the end of others; he must live for his own sake, neither sacrificing himself to others nor sacrificing others to himself; he must work for his rational self-interest, with the achievement of his own happiness as the highest moral purpose for his life."
Both can't be right. Low's description of big cities seems to have a touch of socialism in it. Ayn Rand's definition is harsh and perhaps selfish, but is more aligned with individual freedom and unalienable rights. You decide.
Nevertheless, humans are stuck with big cities no matter how detrimental to their lives that might be.

"Are Humans In The Throes Of A Mass Extinction?"

"Anyone who was alive during the outbreak of the bubonic plague in the 14th century experienced something terrifyingly close to the widespread death and chaos of an apocalyptic event." Alan Huffman
"Near the gates and within two cities there will be scourges the like of which was never seen: famine within plague, people put out by steel, crying to the great immortal God for relief." Nostradamus
Oh my God! The viruses are coming! The viruses are coming! Panic, mayhem, bedlam! The prophecy of Revelations is upon us! Are we on the verge of human extinction? (Probably not)
The Coronavirus, the current scourge of mankind, is a tiny little microbe described in the Science Direct website as follows: "The Coronaviridae, is a monophyletic cluster in the order Nidovirales. They are enveloped, positive stranded RNA viruses of three classes of vertebrates: They are spherical in shape and about 120–160 nm (nanometers) across. The particles are typically decorated with large, club or petal-shaped surface projections (the “peplomers” or “spikes”), which in electron micrographs of spherical particles create an image reminiscent of the solar corona. In terms of genome size and genetic complexity, the Coronaviridae are the largest RNA viruses identified so far."
A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. At around 140 nm, the Coronavirus is so small that it would take around 2,118,000 of these little killers, laid end to end, to equal a foot and yet this enemy of human flesh can cause a person to literally drown in the fluids of the lungs, triggered by the virus. Symptoms of the infection include, a cough, which may produce greenish, yellow, or even bloody mucus; fever, sweating and shaking chills; shortness of breath; rapid, shallow breathing; sharp or stabbing chest pain that gets worse when you breathe deeply or cough and loss of appetite, low energy, and fatigue.
Unfortunately, for humans, the Coronavirus is just one of many microorganisms that can be fatal. Is there one virus or bacteria that has yet to mutate into a deadly form that has no cure and could create a mass extinction of the human species? Of course, scientists don't know.
The bubonic plague in the 14th Century was caused by a bacterium that was spread by infected fleas on small animals. Many people are not aware that there were two outbreaks of the plague, (or black death) one around the 6th Century and the major pandemic in the 14th Century. The second outbreak was estimated to have killed one third of the European population and originated in Central Asia.
According to the National Geographic website, the Bubonic plague ......
"...causes a painful, relatively quick death that often involves vomiting, bleeding, and gangrene of the skin. Fortunately, today's antibiotics can kill the Yersinia pestis bacteria and save its victim upon early detection."
The Spanish Flu of 1918 was a massive worldwide pandemic that resulted from what was described as the H1N1 virus from birds. It reportedly infected 500,000,000 people on six continents and resulted in a death rate of about 10%. At least 675,000 Americans died of the disease. However, general human hygiene was more primitive then and treatments by vaccines were not as readily available as they are today.
None of these pandemics came even close to a mass extinction of the human species.
However, according to scientists, there have been five major mass extinctions of life on planet earth. 375,000,000 years ago (Devonian era) it is estimated that 75% of all species were lost. 251,000,000 years ago (Permian era) 96% of all species went extinct. 200,000,000 years ago (Triassic period) 80% of all species were lost. 66,000,000 years ago, (Cretaceous era) 76% of all species were lost, including the dinosaur. That is a lot of extinct species. It turns out that life on earth can be "Hell on earth" sometimes.
The human species, as an animal that walks upright on two legs, (bipedal) has only been around for about 3.6 million years. In current form, humans have only been around about 200,000 years. It should be noted however, that the five mass extinctions were several million years apart so man hasn't been around long enough to fall within a mass extinction event. If logic is to be applied from the history of earth, the bipedal human species is surely living on borrowed time but it could be a very long time.
The human population grew very slowly up to about 1500. By 1600 a noticeable rise in the population began. By 1800 the percent rise in the population began to appreciably increase. Between 1800 and 1900 the increase started moving towards exponential. After 1900 the population increase BECAME exponential. In fact, humans are now increasing at an estimated rate of 81,000,000 people per year, or about 4 billion every 50 years, or so.
The planet now holds about 7.8 billion human inhabitants according to scientific estimates. But by 2100 it is forecasted that there will be close to 10 billion people on planet earth. Some say the increase is unsustainable and they are probably right. Others say the increase at the current rate cannot last indefinitely before a cataclysmic event reduces the human population by many billions.
Most species on earth can be impacted by a population explosion that can result in extinction. The extinction can also come from significant ecological changes, (droughts, storms, exploding volcanoes, earthquakes, large meteor impacts, etc.) a lack of resources to support the current population, an increase in the predator population, invasions by microorganisms, or from being overwhelmed by other species, such as what happened to the Northern Spotted Owl from the migration of the Barred Owl.
Humans have no known predator that can effect their population, unless earth is invaded by some powerful, extraterrestrial enemy that has designs on destroying us en masse. Nevertheless, the human population can be directly affected by ecological changes, (droughts, storms, exploding volcanoes, earthquakes, large meteor impacts, etc.) a lack of resources (food and energy) to support the current population, or an invasion by microorganisms (viruses, bacterium parasites) with no known cure.
Contrary to a popular myth promoted worldwide by radical environmentalists, academics, the news media and many governments, the human species is not going extinct from man-made global warming. In a recent article by Tom Harris, he quoted noted climate scientist Dr. Tim Ball, former University of Winnipeg climate professor, asserting that "the probability that future global warming, if it occurs, will be dangerous to humans is about 2%. Dr. Ball's conclusions were supported by the 2015 report of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) where they asserted that 'no evidence exists that... (a warming of 2%, which the UN says we must avoid) would be net harmful to the global environment, or to human well being.'"
Dr. Ball went onto say that, "if dangerous global warming were to occur, the odds of it being caused by rising CO2 levels are effectively zero." (See "Climate")
On the other hand you might call a swarm of locus harmful to humans. But locus are not a direct threat to human lives due to bites, viruses, parasites, or bacterium. They are however, a threat to the food source that humans eat. The current swarms of locus over Somalia, Ethiopia and South Asia are threatening to send those countries into extreme famine where millions could die from starvation. A large swarm of locus can eat upwards of 160,000 tons of food (320,000,000 pounds) each day. The governments of these countries are too little and too late with preventive measures to save a large portion of the human population due to insane environmental policies.
So far, insects are more of a nuisance than a major threat to large populations of humans. Yes, some are poisonous and can kill us but only on a very small scale in comparison to the total human population. Nevertheless, over one million people are killed every year from infected mosquitoes that deliver a deadly parasite with each entry into the skin by the mosquito's tubular proboscis. The parasite is called Malaria.
Many science fiction movies have laid out what could happen if insects somehow mutated and became as large as humans. In such event, insects would become the top of the food chain and humans would become their prey. The likelihood of this event is essentially nil.
The onset of the Coronavirus pandemic has raised the question about human's vulnerability to a rapid moving, highly infectious virus that could overwhelm man's ability to control it. What if there was no known treatment for a virus, or no known vaccine that could control the spread? The scenario of a rapidly spreading disease could raise the specter of the possibility of a human mass extinction.
Predictions of human extinction go back as far as biblical days. But current scientists have applied the mathematics of statistics to the issue and have come up with some fairly wide predictions that range from one chance in 14,000 to one chance in 870,000 for a mass extinction to occur this year. Nevertheless, it is not a matter of if, only a matter of when.
The most likely causes of a human mass extinction would come from either violent earth events, like super volcano eruptions, or from rapid climate change that could plunge earth into an ice ball, or from extraterrestrial events, namely meteors, comets, or asteroid impacts with earth. One other possibility is that we will kill ourselves with an out-of-control nuclear conflict and engulf the planet in nuclear winter.
It must be remembered that over 99% of all animal, plant, insects, or birds have gone extinct in earth's 4.5 billion year history. Mankind will most likely suffer the same fate at sometime in the future.
Sadly, the explosion of earth's human population spells a death knell for individual freedom and unalienable rights and the American ideas of freedom. Governments will have to become stronger and more centralized to control large population concentrations, as is happening today with worldwide infection of the Coronavirus. Federal and state governments have instituted just short of martial law to control the spread of the virus.
In America, the government is spending trillions of dollars to support the very people they put under quarantine and out of a job. Where is the money coming from, the taxpayer and borrowed or printed money. We owe our very lives and livelihood to government. That is control by government and opens up the very real possibility of government tyranny.
The move towards one-world government will accelerate until it is finally realized due to the pressures of national and international finance, energy, trade, commerce and agriculture. The centralized world government will tell the people where to live, where to work, what to wear, what to eat, what to drink, what to drive, how far to drive, how much money they can have, what taxes they have to pay and how our money is to be spent. They will control our money, our land, our water supply, our sewer, our transportation and our energy. This will all be done under the guise of social issues, the environment, or public health and safety. We covered this eventuality in our article entitled, "Demographics Will Eventually Destroy Our Founding Father's Republic."
Whether the human species goes extinct in the near future is up for grabs. What is not up for grabs is the eventual and permanent loss of national sovereignty and individual freedom. We're well on our way. Government virus control through mandatory quarantine is just another example of rising central government interference in our lives ..... in the name of public health and safety.
There are millions of Americans who will not bow down to this rising tyranny and they may have to pick up a SWORD to defend freedom.

However, according to scientists, there have been five major mass extinctions of life on planet earth. 375,000,000 years ago (Devonian era) it is estimated that 75% of all species were lost. 251,000,000 years ago (Permian era) 96% of all species went extinct. 200,000,000 years ago (Triassic period) 80% of all species were lost. 66,000,000 years ago, (Cretaceous era) 76% of all species were lost, including the dinosaur. That is a lot of extinct species. It turns out that life on earth can be "Hell on earth" sometimes.
The human species, as an animal that walks upright on two legs, (bipedal) has only been around for about 3.6 million years. In current form, humans have only been around about 200,000 years. It should be noted however, that the five mass extinctions were several million years apart so man hasn't been around long enough to fall within a mass extinction event. If logic is to be applied from the history of earth, the bipedal human species is surely living on borrowed time but it could be a very long time.
The human population grew very slowly up to about 1500. By 1600 a noticeable rise in the population began. By 1800 the percent rise in the population began to appreciably increase. Between 1800 and 1900 the increase started moving towards exponential. After 1900 the population increase BECAME exponential. In fact, humans are now increasing at an estimated rate of 81,000,000 people per year, or about 4 billion every 50 years, or so.
The planet now holds about 7.8 billion human inhabitants according to scientific estimates. But by 2100 it is forecasted that there will be close to 10 billion people on planet earth. Some say the increase is unsustainable and they are probably right. Others say the increase at the current rate cannot last indefinitely before a cataclysmic event reduces the human population by many billions.
Most species on earth can be impacted by a population explosion that can result in extinction. The extinction can also come from significant ecological changes, (droughts, storms, exploding volcanoes, earthquakes, large meteor impacts, etc.) a lack of resources to support the current population, an increase in the predator population, invasions by microorganisms, or from being overwhelmed by other species, such as what happened to the Northern Spotted Owl from the migration of the Barred Owl.
Humans have no known predator that can effect their population, unless earth is invaded by some powerful, extraterrestrial enemy that has designs on destroying us en masse. Nevertheless, the human population can be directly affected by ecological changes, (droughts, storms, exploding volcanoes, earthquakes, large meteor impacts, etc.) a lack of resources (food and energy) to support the current population, or an invasion by microorganisms (viruses, bacterium parasites) with no known cure.
Contrary to a popular myth promoted worldwide by radical environmentalists, academics, the news media and many governments, the human species is not going extinct from man-made global warming. In a recent article by Tom Harris, he quoted noted climate scientist Dr. Tim Ball, former University of Winnipeg climate professor, asserting that "the probability that future global warming, if it occurs, will be dangerous to humans is about 2%. Dr. Ball's conclusions were supported by the 2015 report of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) where they asserted that 'no evidence exists that... (a warming of 2%, which the UN says we must avoid) would be net harmful to the global environment, or to human well being.'"
Dr. Ball went onto say that, "if dangerous global warming were to occur, the odds of it being caused by rising CO2 levels are effectively zero." (See "Climate")
On the other hand you might call a swarm of locus harmful to humans. But locus are not a direct threat to human lives due to bites, viruses, parasites, or bacterium. They are however, a threat to the food source that humans eat. The current swarms of locus over Somalia, Ethiopia and South Asia are threatening to send those countries into extreme famine where millions could die from starvation. A large swarm of locus can eat upwards of 160,000 tons of food (320,000,000 pounds) each day. The governments of these countries are too little and too late with preventive measures to save a large portion of the human population due to insane environmental policies.
So far, insects are more of a nuisance than a major threat to large populations of humans. Yes, some are poisonous and can kill us but only on a very small scale in comparison to the total human population. Nevertheless, over one million people are killed every year from infected mosquitoes that deliver a deadly parasite with each entry into the skin by the mosquito's tubular proboscis. The parasite is called Malaria.
Many science fiction movies have laid out what could happen if insects somehow mutated and became as large as humans. In such event, insects would become the top of the food chain and humans would become their prey. The likelihood of this event is essentially nil.
The onset of the Coronavirus pandemic has raised the question about human's vulnerability to a rapid moving, highly infectious virus that could overwhelm man's ability to control it. What if there was no known treatment for a virus, or no known vaccine that could control the spread? The scenario of a rapidly spreading disease could raise the specter of the possibility of a human mass extinction.
Predictions of human extinction go back as far as biblical days. But current scientists have applied the mathematics of statistics to the issue and have come up with some fairly wide predictions that range from one chance in 14,000 to one chance in 870,000 for a mass extinction to occur this year. Nevertheless, it is not a matter of if, only a matter of when.
The most likely causes of a human mass extinction would come from either violent earth events, like super volcano eruptions, or from rapid climate change that could plunge earth into an ice ball, or from extraterrestrial events, namely meteors, comets, or asteroid impacts with earth. One other possibility is that we will kill ourselves with an out-of-control nuclear conflict and engulf the planet in nuclear winter.
It must be remembered that over 99% of all animal, plant, insects, or birds have gone extinct in earth's 4.5 billion year history. Mankind will most likely suffer the same fate at sometime in the future.
Sadly, the explosion of earth's human population spells a death knell for individual freedom and unalienable rights and the American ideas of freedom. Governments will have to become stronger and more centralized to control large population concentrations, as is happening today with worldwide infection of the Coronavirus. Federal and state governments have instituted just short of martial law to control the spread of the virus.
In America, the government is spending trillions of dollars to support the very people they put under quarantine and out of a job. Where is the money coming from, the taxpayer and borrowed or printed money. We owe our very lives and livelihood to government. That is control by government and opens up the very real possibility of government tyranny.
The move towards one-world government will accelerate until it is finally realized due to the pressures of national and international finance, energy, trade, commerce and agriculture. The centralized world government will tell the people where to live, where to work, what to wear, what to eat, what to drink, what to drive, how far to drive, how much money they can have, what taxes they have to pay and how our money is to be spent. They will control our money, our land, our water supply, our sewer, our transportation and our energy. This will all be done under the guise of social issues, the environment, or public health and safety. We covered this eventuality in our article entitled, "Demographics Will Eventually Destroy Our Founding Father's Republic."
Whether the human species goes extinct in the near future is up for grabs. What is not up for grabs is the eventual and permanent loss of national sovereignty and individual freedom. We're well on our way. Government virus control through mandatory quarantine is just another example of rising central government interference in our lives ..... in the name of public health and safety.
There are millions of Americans who will not bow down to this rising tyranny and they may have to pick up a SWORD to defend freedom.

"The Extreme Pain Of Government-Mandated Quarantine"

It's bad enough being cooped up in your home during the winter months. Nevertheless, at least you can get in the car and go to the grocery store, a restaurant, a movie, the post office, a football game, or even a play at the local playhouse. If there is snow on the ground, you can sled, ski, or ice skate. You're not restricted to out-of-the-home activities unless the weather is really bad.
But weather is something we can't control. It is a function of the tilt of the earth as it rotates around the Sun that gives us our four seasons, winter being one of those seasons. Government doesn't mandate in-home quarantine just because the weather is bad. They can suggest it, but they can't demand it.
However, it is a whole other matter when the government tells you, in the name of public health and safety, that you can't leave your home, except for the major necessities of life, like groceries, medicines, gas, or the bank, because of a highly infectious disease that requires massive quarantine of large sections of the population, or maybe even entire states, or even countries. The decision by government to quarantine the people, borders on martial law. But government-mandated quarantines have serious consequences.
In fact, in one study of the effects of quarantine in the SARS epidemic, they found that "quarantine may create heavy psychological, emotional, and financial problems for some persons. Knowledge and understanding of the experiences of quarantined persons are critical to maximize infectious disease containment and minimize the negative effects on those quarantined, their families, and social networks." (and the economy)
In another article on extended quarantine they stated that, "the uncertainty and stress of the global outbreak, spending time in quarantine can take a serious mental toll. Part of the reason for this is the impact that quarantine has on three key elements of mental health: autonomy, competency, and connectedness."
"The isolation imposed by quarantine frequently leaves people feeling that they have no control over the situation. They also feel cut off from the rest of the world and unable to perform their usual duties."
"As schools close, workers opt to telecommute, and other social events are canceled, the prospect of being confined to your home because of quarantine can be daunting. Time seems to creep by much more slowly after you've been at home for a long period of time. Even if you are home with other family members, the sense of isolation and cabin fever can be powerful."
"The American Psychological Association reports that social isolation carries a number of health risks. Feeling isolated can lead to poor sleep, poor cardiovascular health, lower immunity, depressive symptoms, and impaired executive function. When executive function skills are impaired, you may find it more difficult to focus, manage your emotions, remember information, and follow directions."
Staying home with the kids all day can be a real drag. That's why they invented school, isn't it? If parents are being forced to work from home, as they are now, they are being constantly interrupted by the wants and needs of their children, sending worker productivity into steep decline. Kids, with pent up energy, will take that energy out on anyone that is present and the closest victims are their parents or each other.
If the parents are showing up for work, that leaves the kids home alone with no immediate baby sitter or child care. It is well known that bad things can happen if children are left alone, unattended by adult supervision.
All that aside, there is another factor that is hotly debated about government-mandated quarantine, "individual freedom and unalienable rights vs. public health and safety." What always prevails in the debate comes from a quote from the old Star Trek series spoken by Mr. Spock wherein he said, "the needs of the many outweigh the needs [or rights] of the few."
In government-mandated quarantine, one of the emotional effects (pain) is the loss of freedom, a cherished and imperative characteristic of a free society. The question for government authorities is how to balance the "needs of the many" with the natural, God-given, individual rights to which all humans are entitled and the rights promised and enshrined into law by the first 10 Amendments to the U. S. Constitution.
One of those rights under the First Amendment is the "right to peaceably assemble." If you are quarantined in your home by a government mandate, the "right to assemble" just went out the window, since large crowds enhance the spreading of the virus, whichever virus it is.
The debate about individual rights and the "needs of the many" was well framed in an opening paragraph of a treatise on the subject in which they wrote: "To what extent can a state legitimately restrict the liberties of its citizens in order to serve the common good? Furthermore, to what extent has the protection of the public's welfare been a pretext for governments to curtail or erode fundamental rights? These questions have formed the foundation of controversies and long-running debates about public health in the USA; conflicts that have been animated by a deep-rooted mistrust of overreaching authorities, concerns about arbitrary exercises of power, and by the anti-authoritarian ethos that is a historically prominent feature of US politics and civic culture."
Does the government have the right of quarantine? Yes. The courts have upheld the right of government-mandated quarantines as delineated in the following U. S. Supreme Court case.
"In the state of Massachusetts (USA), a smallpox epidemic during the winter of 1901 provided the occasion for a legal challenge to the state's compulsory vaccination law. This led to a landmark ruling by the US Supreme Court in the case of Jacobson versus Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which established the government's right to use its ‘police powers' in order to control epidemic disease. In its seven-to-two decision, the Court affirmed the right of the people, through their elected representatives, to enact “health laws 'of every description' to protect the common good.” (Colgrove & Bayer, 2005).
Ok, but this begs another question on "how far will a government go to save us from ourselves, or the effects of a fast spreading virus?" The U. S. Supreme Court's "of every description" is so broad as to leave the door of government control on public health and safety issues, wide open.
If government applied the same rationale for stopping the spread of a virus to other threats to human life, safety and health, could it not then go further by saving Americans from car accidents, motorcycles, guns, knives, stairs, alcohol, drugs, bicycles, scooters, skis, snowmobiles, or violent entertainment, which have all been shown to be a hazard to life, health and safety. Could not a logical or legal reason be formed by government, upheld by the U. S. Supreme Court, to take away all of our cars, motorcycles, guns, knives, stairs, alcohol, drugs, bicycles, scooters, skis, snowmobiles, or violent entertainment? You bet it could!
How about living in squalor conditions? Living homeless, poor and in squalor is an obvious threat to life, safety and public health, physical and mental. Could not government come up with a legal reason to take all these people and put them in government-supplied and managed internment camps for their own good? The answer is uncomfortably obvious! Government did it to the Japanese for wartime reasons. The Chinese are interning Uyghurs (Moslems) in Western China in enforced re-education camps. What can the average citizen do, short of all-out war, to stop it? Absolutely nothing!
Unfortunately, the current extended quarantine could end up thrusting the American economy into a deep recession, if it hasn't already. Government's efforts to soften the massive quarantine blow with huge injections of cash into the economy, comes with its own pain, the ever-rising national debt. (Virus and quarantine relief, Phase one, $8,3 Billion; Phase two, $100 Billion; and Phase three, $1 to 2 Trillion)
America's national debt now stands at well in excess of $23,000,000,000,000 (that's trillion), fueled by never-ending budget deficits from excessive social spending. ($984 Billion for fiscal 2019) The national debt in 2018 equaled around 78% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). It is forecasted to reach an unsustainable 180% of GDP by 2050 with no chance it will ever be paid. If interest rates ever go up, and they will, taxpayer payments to the national debt could eclipse the defense and entitlement budgets.
What about the science of viral infection? There seems to be no question about the science of the rapid spreading of a virus in the general population. The real question is, are the government's quarantine actions too much, or too little? Does anyone really know? Of course not! Government operates off of what is called the "precautionary principle", "a strategy of approaching an important issue of potential harm when extensive scientific knowledge on the matter is lacking", on the abundance of caution." They are applying the same "logic" to Climate Change.
Here is another issue. Some viruses spread faster than others, like the Coronavirus, with a significant mortality rate. Does not government have a duty and responsibility to preserve the "needs of the many" through government-mandated quarantine in the event of a fast-moving virus that takes lives on a large scale? Of course it does. But the power to do so bears an awesome responsibility to not take such measures to their extreme where individual freedom and unalienable rights are the first casualties, never to return.
Once the people bow down to government's authority to rob them of their freedom and do nothing to hold government accountable, or change government's behavior, or stop them in their tracks, the people's freedom is lost forever. That is what is at stake in the debate over government-mandated quarantine. The loss of individual freedom is one of the worst and most long lasting "pains" of government's actions to save us from ourselves, or the demons of unseen viruses.
Short bouts of being cooped up in your home are bad enough. But to lose your freedom permanently because Americans have grown accustom to centralized government control, is a loss that may never be recovered, and a "pain" (enslavement) that must be endured in perpetuity.
But if government goes too far in restricting individual freedom to protect us from the dire effects of a deadly virus, or some other reason to save us from ourselves, could that not lead to "Civil War?"

"The Coronavirus May Not Get You But Socialism Could"

"Socialism violates at least three of the Ten Commandments: It turns government into God, it legalizes thievery and it elevates covetousness. It has no moral justification whatsoever; poor people are not morally superior to rich people, nor are they owed anything by rich people simply because of their lack of success. Socialism states that you owe me something simply because I exist. Capitalism, by contrast, results in a sort of reality-forced altruism: I may not want to help you, I may dislike you, but if I don't give you a product or service you want, I will starve. Voluntary exchange is more moral than forced redistribution. When people are desperate or wealthy, they turn to socialism; only when they have no other alternative do they embrace the free market. After all, lies about guaranteed security are far more seductive than lectures about personal responsibility." Ben Shapiro, radio talk show host
The enemy of reason is upon us! Fear! Panic! Frenzy! Terror! Dread! Horror! Hysteria! Confusion! Hording! Stress! So many Americans are running around like a chicken with its head cut off.
No! We are not minimizing the threat and risks of the Coronavirus. But, it, like Ebola, Measles, Flu, Sars and Mers viruses (and who knows what else) are alive and well on the planet and they rise up every now and then to test our mettle. (Remember the hype about the Measles outbreak last year? There were only 971 cases and yet we panicked over that too because of the news media!)
Some people will get the Coronavirus but don't know they have it. Some people will get sick, some will get very sick, some will end up in hospitals and some will die.
But people die every day in traffic accidents, (3,287 avg. per day) or drug overdoses, (192 per day, 2017) or shootings, (109 per day, 2017) or stabbings, or hammer attacks, or just old age (7,115 per day, 2013) and yet we don't panic over those deaths. We live with it because we know we can't stop it in our society. This doesn't even include people who end up in hospitals from disease, broken bones, or old age. It is a fact of life on planet earth. People get sick and people die. Panic only makes it worse.
The CDC estimates that around 31,000,000 Americans have caught or will catch the flu this year, 370,000 could end up in hospitals for treatment and at least 56,000 could die. We don't see any panic rising in the population over flu deaths. There's no hoarding or cleaning out store shelves. There is no mass media saturation on flu news stories.
We're panicking because we are being deluged and fed a steady diet, 24 hours a day, with negative news stories about the Coronavirus. Fear is contagious, just like a disease. Nevertheless, it is very unlikely that 31,000,000 Americans are going to catch the Coronavirus this year because of the extraordinary steps we are taking to minimize the spread. It is equally unlikely that the death rate will exceed the 56,000 who die every year from the flu.
Yes, the economy will suffer, some people will lose their jobs, some businesses will go out of business and the GDP will take a hit. But it's not permanent. We will bounce back.
For once the government is coming through with solutions, working with the private sector, to help ward of the threat. Trump is leading the charge. We'll come through this and after it is over, we'll wonder what was all the fuss about? At the end of this article is a link to another article with a credible prediction of the final path of the Coronavirus. It's worth your time to read it.
The Coronavirus will fade into memory in a fairly short time, but the move towards socialism is on-going and relentless. The Democrats are the carriers of that relentless torch of socialism and they won't be deterred from their goal by a bunch of namby-pamby, RINO Republicans who don't have the cojones to challenge and stop the Democrats in their tracks. Being NICE is no way to stop an evil enemy. Courage, determination and sometimes force are the only way. (See: "How Has Being 'Nice' Worked Out For You")
Yes, America is a great country and collectively, we seem to be able to face our problems with a stiff upper lip and a determination to find solutions to those problems as we are doing now with the Coronavirus. Nevertheless, not everything is peaches and cream.
What we see on the surface belies what is terrorizing us from the shadows. Our freedom is declining, the constitution is becoming meaningless and representative government is essentially dead.
The people are losing their grip on morality, honor, integrity and honesty and as we have written many times before, government and people without honor will not work.
Drug and alcohol use is pandemic and the current entertainment, screen and music, borders on debauchery.
Out-of-control immigration, a deteriorating and expensive health care insurance system, public schools and colleges being used as institutions of socialist and environmental indoctrination, rising homelessness, a Democrat bought and paid for news media, onerous taxes, an ever-escalating national deficit and debt and way too many rules and regulations haunt our every day lives. Unexplainably, most Americans sit on their hands and do nothing, or don't care. Oh, they might bitch a little, but that's about all. Consequently, the problems keep getting worse.
The largest of these problems, that can only be solved by government, are mostly ignored by the President, Congress and the bureaucracy. Trump is trying but the corrupt Establishment from both parties is in control and the deep state is out of control. International financial and corporate forces are doing everything in their power to erode our national sovereignty.
Is there anything that freedom-loving Americans can do about it? No! The problems will not go away and they will continue to plague us. Not until there is a mindset shift in a large segment of the population towards the return of the principles of freedom will we begin to see a change in attitude towards the rebirth of freedom.
If individual freedom and unalienable, God-given rights have no meaning to the masses, socialism, communism, fascism, or radical environmentalism, take their place. When the people aren't paying attention, the Bernie Sanders, the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's of the World and socialist Democrats rise to fill the void.
There is only one thing that can start an avalanche towards that mindset shift and that is adapting to an idea or a symbol that carries and represents those fundamentals of freedom. In just 500 years, the idea of Christianity swept the Middle East, Europe and North Africa, until finally it swept the entire globe such that there are 2 billion Christians on the face of the planet. The symbol was Jesus, the Son of God. The idea was that all men were created in the image of God. From the symbol, Jesus, came the "principles" of morality and salvation.
From the American Revolution came the idea of individual freedom and natural rights. The symbol of freedom became the American flag and the ideals it represented. When we "rally 'round the flag", when we "pledge our allegiance", collectively, as a nation, we rally around the ideals (principles) that the flag represents.
What America needs is another symbol to rally around, like our flag, with the hopes of rekindling our alliance with the principles of freedom, a symbol that espouses freedom, liberty, un-biased justice and property rights and a symbol that exudes force, determination, patriotism, unity and courage. All that is wrapped up in our "American Patriot" logo. If this logo showed up by the millions on the windows of homes, on the doors of trucks, or on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or other Internet platforms and swept the nation like Christianity swept the world, the mindset shift towards freedom could literally happen overnight. It won't take 500 years.
Socialism doesn't have to be our future. Freedom-loving Americans can "Save the USA" and they can do it by a simple act of embracing and living a powerful symbol of freedom and the principles of freedom as embodied in our "18 Basic Principles For America."
Remember! The Coronavirus' impact on humanity will be fleeting and short lived like most of these viruses. America will bounce back, probably stronger than ever. However, socialism and its savage effects will infect the entire world, including America, if we let it.
You can let the Coronavirus consume you and eat up your life, or, you can back up, take a deep breath and realize that of all the enemies that threaten freedom, the Coronavirus is the least of those enemies. The news media-induced fear and guilt is government's tool to further enslave us.
Americans are made up of lovers, peacemakers, activists and fighters. Today, America needs, more than anything else, fighters.

The enemy of reason is upon us! Fear! Panic! Frenzy! Terror! Dread! Horror! Hysteria! Confusion! Hording! Stress! So many Americans are running around like a chicken with its head cut off.
No! We are not minimizing the threat and risks of the Coronavirus. But, it, like Ebola, Measles, Flu, Sars and Mers viruses (and who knows what else) are alive and well on the planet and they rise up every now and then to test our mettle. (Remember the hype about the Measles outbreak last year? There were only 971 cases and yet we panicked over that too because of the news media!)
Some people will get the Coronavirus but don't know they have it. Some people will get sick, some will get very sick, some will end up in hospitals and some will die.
But people die every day in traffic accidents, (3,287 avg. per day) or drug overdoses, (192 per day, 2017) or shootings, (109 per day, 2017) or stabbings, or hammer attacks, or just old age (7,115 per day, 2013) and yet we don't panic over those deaths. We live with it because we know we can't stop it in our society. This doesn't even include people who end up in hospitals from disease, broken bones, or old age. It is a fact of life on planet earth. People get sick and people die. Panic only makes it worse.
The CDC estimates that around 31,000,000 Americans have caught or will catch the flu this year, 370,000 could end up in hospitals for treatment and at least 56,000 could die. We don't see any panic rising in the population over flu deaths. There's no hoarding or cleaning out store shelves. There is no mass media saturation on flu news stories.
We're panicking because we are being deluged and fed a steady diet, 24 hours a day, with negative news stories about the Coronavirus. Fear is contagious, just like a disease. Nevertheless, it is very unlikely that 31,000,000 Americans are going to catch the Coronavirus this year because of the extraordinary steps we are taking to minimize the spread. It is equally unlikely that the death rate will exceed the 56,000 who die every year from the flu.
Yes, the economy will suffer, some people will lose their jobs, some businesses will go out of business and the GDP will take a hit. But it's not permanent. We will bounce back.
For once the government is coming through with solutions, working with the private sector, to help ward of the threat. Trump is leading the charge. We'll come through this and after it is over, we'll wonder what was all the fuss about? At the end of this article is a link to another article with a credible prediction of the final path of the Coronavirus. It's worth your time to read it.
The Coronavirus will fade into memory in a fairly short time, but the move towards socialism is on-going and relentless. The Democrats are the carriers of that relentless torch of socialism and they won't be deterred from their goal by a bunch of namby-pamby, RINO Republicans who don't have the cojones to challenge and stop the Democrats in their tracks. Being NICE is no way to stop an evil enemy. Courage, determination and sometimes force are the only way. (See: "How Has Being 'Nice' Worked Out For You")
Yes, America is a great country and collectively, we seem to be able to face our problems with a stiff upper lip and a determination to find solutions to those problems as we are doing now with the Coronavirus. Nevertheless, not everything is peaches and cream.
What we see on the surface belies what is terrorizing us from the shadows. Our freedom is declining, the constitution is becoming meaningless and representative government is essentially dead.
The people are losing their grip on morality, honor, integrity and honesty and as we have written many times before, government and people without honor will not work.
Drug and alcohol use is pandemic and the current entertainment, screen and music, borders on debauchery.

"If Just One Man Defies Tyranny, Freedom Still Lives"
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners
and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.
© Copyright Sunday, March 8, 2020 - All Rights Reserved
"If men within themselves would be governed by reason, and not generally give up their understanding to a double tyranny, of custom from without, and blind affections within; they would discern better what it is to favor and uphold the tyrant of a nation. But being slaves, no wonder that they strive so much to have the public state conformably governed to the inward vicious rule, by which they govern themselves. For indeed none can love freedom heartily, but good men: the rest love not freedom, but license: which never hath more scope, or more indulgence than under tyrants." John Milton, English poet and intellectual (1608 to 1674)
Many times we have written that men without honor are incapable of defending, much less preserving, freedom. As John Milton says, "For indeed none can love freedom heartily, but good men. " Good men with honor.
Honor is "the adherence to what is right or to a conventional standard of conduct." In simple terms, the "conventional standard' of conduct for humans is "to treat others in the same way you wish to be treated and to be true to your word." Without honor there can be no trust and society eventually breaks down into corruption, chaos, anarchy, or worse, fascism as we are seeing now in many parts of the country today.
Thomas Jefferson wrote: "When we come to the moral principles on which the government is to be administered, we come to what is proper for all conditions of society. Liberty, truth, probity, honor, are declared to be the four cardinal principles of society. I believe that morality, compassion, generosity, are innate elements of the human constitution; that there exists a right, independent of force."
Freedom will be preserved and tyranny vanquished as long as there are good men with honor who will pledge that honor, their lives and their fortunes in the name of freedom.
Thomas Paine, during the Revolutionary War, wrote:
"These are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value."
So today, we must ask ourselves in a time of our own conflict, confusion and turmoil, how "dear" is freedom? What price do we put on its defense? Are we the summer soldier or the sunshine patriot that, in crisis, shrinks from the service of country? Or, are we who stand by it now, the vanguards of freedom, will, in the end, be its savior? But if there not be enough of us who stand steadfast for freedom, will the summer soldier or the sunshine patriot come out of the shadows to join the battle? Or will they wait until the loose chains that bind them are tightened and locked forever and freedom becomes but a dim, retreating memory?
In a portion of a poem we wrote several years ago, we described freedom thus:
You can't see freedom
You can only be free.
You can't touch freedom,
It's a phantom you see.
A phantom we hold
In our hearts and minds.
A fleeting memory we are told,
Should we it let slip away,
On the winds of time.
In reality, Americans are letting the phantom of freedom "slip away on the winds of time."
The experiment of American freedom is approaching a precipice, where even the summer soldiers or sunshine patriots are hard to find and just a handful of the "Vanguards of Freedom" exist to remind us all that the price of freedom is truly eternal vigilance.
Freedom has become passé, old hat and out of date. Soft socialism has taken its place in the hearts and minds of millions of Americans, mostly who live in big cities. Hard socialism is warming up in the wings under the guise of "better" government, as described by socialist "Bernie Sanders." This freedom "phantom" doesn't seem to fit with our complex, complicated and fast-pace, high-tech lifestyle any more.
Many ask, how could we possibly unravel the millions of laws that have been passed in the last 100 years that have tightened the government noose around our necks? After all, we must take care of the sick, the aged, the infirmed and all the able-bodied men and women (including illegal aliens) that line up at the government pig trough. So what if our Constitution never listed or allowed such an action as an authorized power of government. The Constitution is essentially dead anyhow ..... isn't it!
And now that the environment has become an inviolate religion, how can we even consider undoing the propaganda, lies and distortions that are being crammed into the heads of consenting adults by the media, as well as the innocent minds of our K-12 school and college-age children? Certainly, it is quite apparent to almost everyone that protecting the environment is much more important than complying with all those ancient, antiquated principles of freedom and property rights, in our dying or dead constitution .............. isn't it?
Oh contraire! If we do not roll back the insanities and the injustices that have eroded our liberty and freedom, or their memories, we will eventually die and henceforth, never to rise again, being replaced by a top-down, elite-run, tyrannical, one-world-order socialists and communists. We will become the incarnation of the Old Soviet Union.
As Thomas Paine also said: "tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph." We can assure you that the conflict, the enemy we face today, may be much harder and much more intractable, than a simple Revolutionary War, where today the enemy we face, is the enemy within, not a foreign power! Americans have become unintentional murderers of their own freedom.
Nevertheless, like the Thomas Paine's of the Revolution that secured our freedom, the "Vanguards of Freedom" are still with us. They are the scouts who sound the early-warning alarm against the enemies who would steal our freedom outright by an act of war, martial law, or by domestic stealth, using the un-substantiated, mythical rationale of maintaining our security for us, or listing polar bears as endangered when they are not, or putting us in chains and taxing us to death over climate change, based on our collective guilty conscience for "injuring" the planet with our greedy and ostentatious CO2 output. Absurd! Ludicrous! Lies! (See: "Climate")
These vanguards of freedom are the ones who warn us with the "one-if-by-land" or "two-if-by-sea" in the Old North Church. They are the cry in the wilderness for the phantom of freedom. They will, if necessary, pledge their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to preserve, protect and defend their freedom and yours, as did our Founding Fathers. The question is, will the summer soldier or the sunshine patriot come out of the shadows to help the vanguards hold onto the flag of freedom? How "dear" is their freedom and are they willing to pay the price? History will eventually reveal the truth.
We are one of those men that has "sworn on the alter of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind [and property] of man." We believe that freedom still lives in the hearts and minds of tens of millions of good, honorable Americans. We also believe that "if just one man defies tyranny, freedom still lives." But if freedom fails in America, all of humanity will be in dire risk of planet-wide enslavement.
In furtherance of our sworn oath, we are establishing the national "American Patriot Reserve Force," a force that lies percolating and alive underneath the fabric of society, waiting for the time when they will be called upon to rise up by the millions to execute the solemn pledge of the Declaration of Independence ..... to Save the USA, freedom and perhaps even humanity itself.
Empty hyperbole you say? It takes only a few seeds to plant a garden. We're planting those seeds.

"Don't Blame Bernie. Blame The Stupid, Naive' Bernie Voters"
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners
and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.
© Copyright Sunday, March 1, 2020 - All Rights Reserved
"The ruling of men is the effort to direct the individual actions of many persons toward some end. This end theoretically should be the greatest good of all, but no human group has ever reached this ideal because of ignorance and selfishness." [and corruption] W. E. B. Du Bois socialist, historian, civil rights activist, author, writer (1868 - 1963)
"Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe." Frederick Douglass, social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman (1818 - 1895)
By now Super Tuesday is over, the results of which surprised a lot of the pundits. Biden was catapulted to front-runner status, out of fear that Bernie Sanders could actually win the nomination and destroy the chance of defeating Donald Trump in November. Based on dismal Super Tuesday showings, Bloomberg, Buttigieg, Warren, Klobuchar and Steyer have dropped out of the race, leaving only Biden and Bernie as the two remaining Democrat candidates for president, out of a field of candidates that had risen to 26 at one point. The question is, why is Bernie still there? Why is he receiving so many votes?
Anybody paying attention to the Democrat presidential candidates is well aware of Bernie Sanders' socialist drumbeat. Those accompanying him on this mad ride to the White House are just as bad but they don't come right out and say they are socialists like Bernie does. Nevertheless, they are pretty much on the same page as Bernie. It is indicative of the extreme far left platform of the "new and improved" Democrat Party.
Here's a list of what Bernie wants: It should blow your mind unless you're a socialist.
Talk about a fundamental transformation of America! This is not even a complete list but this list is shared by most, if not all, of the Democrat presidential candidates. Only God knows how much all of this will cost (Bernie doesn't) but the cost far exceeds the entire American annual gross domestic product and the taxing capability of the U. S. and state governments. It would triple the annual federal budget. If the government taxed everyone's income, capital gains and property 100%, along with a wealth tax, it still wouldn't be enough. By the way, a wealth tax is unconstitutional on its face.
This does not take into account the massive waste, fraud, abuse and corruption that would ensue with the government managing all these programs. No one knows how to waste taxpayer money better than the government. In just Medicare alone, estimates of waste, fraud, abuse and corruption (improper payments for services not rendered, etc.) are as much as $50 Billion a year. This is only one government program.
None of what we have described here answers the big question, why would any knowledgeable American vote for a candidate or a platform that would end individual freedom and property rights as we know it and destroy capitalism and the free market system, while instituting almost pure socialism? There can only be one answer to the question, constitutional and free market illiteracy.
America's pubic education system has failed America's youth for at least the last three generations in a systematic, premeditated destruction of objective education that has become instead socialist, environmental and one-world global indoctrination, orchestrated by the Progressive movement, the establishment, the deep state, educators and the Democrats, over the last 10 decades.
Shamefully, only 26% of Americans can name all three branches of government, down from 38% in 2011. But it gets worse. Only 33% of Americans could name even one branch of government and 37% could not name one right protected by the First Amendment. (There are five rights)
The test to become a U. S. Citizen only requires 60 percent grade to pass. In a survey of 1,000 legal American citizens, just barely 36 percent could achieve a passing grade. 74% of senior citizens passed the citizenship test but only 20% of those under 45 could get the 60% necessary to pass. Only 13% knew the year the Constitution was written. (1787) (Source: Forbes Magazine)
The U. S. Department of Education was established in October of 1979. During that time it has done nothing to improve constitutional or free market literacy. Instead we got the "Race To The Top", "No Child Left Behind" and "Common Core State Standards" that were the educational programs designed (by educated idiots) to allegedly increase the effectiveness of American education. Unfortunately, these programs were more about social justice, gender, LGBTQ, race and ethnic issues than they were about objective learning. That's brainwashing for socialist purposes!
Earlier this year we uncovered legislation in Washington State that mandated the teaching of the U. S. and State Constitutions and the American form of government in various grades, from elementary through high school. A worthy goal it seemed. However, in digging deeper we discovered that this law was not exclusive to Washington State, but was being mandated by legislation originated in 1994 by the U. S. Congress. We were aghast to learn that what they were teaching with their universal text books from this legislation, that America was not a Constitutional Republic, but a Constitutional Democracy. The differences are night and day. We must "Get Progressive Educated Idiots Out of Education."
Now the State of Washington is about to pass a law this year to teach sex education to kindergarterners. So littly five-year old Johnnies and Jennies can learn about multiple genders and sexual proclivities, abnormalities and deviations, rather than learning that Mother Nature created two sexes, a man and a woman. Yes, gene mutations and genetic errors do create some physical variations. Nevertheless, any deviation from the two-gender reality is fake news, even though Facebook is trying to convince us that by some trick of nature there are 58 genders. And you wonder why little Johnny is confused about his sexual orientation?
Anyone with the least amount of intellect knows full well that a five-year old (or even a 10-year old) has no point of reference to understand the sexual antics of humans, much less an egg and a sperm, or how they come together to create human life. To teach sex education or sexual deviancy at this grade level is not only ill advised, it is grossly negligent, if not bordering on the criminal. This is being pushed by the LGBTQ community and the Democrats and is, in effect, institutional, sexual brainwashing. But we digress.
The word “Democracy” does not appear anywhere in the Declaration of Independence, or the U. S. Constitution, or in any of the state constitutions. The Founders knew what a Democracy meant, which is majority (mob) rule> So they set up a Constitutional Republic, which is government under the rule of law where the minority is protected from a potentially deranged majority. The U. S. Constitution was to be and still is, the Supreme Law of the Land and it was to be and is the foundation of all law in America. That foundation was based on the unalienable, God-given rights of the individual and it was government’s duty to preserve, protect and defend those rights. It has criminally sherked that duty.
But alas, as in all persons of power, there is an overwhelming urge to increase their political power. The limitations of the U. S. Constitution were a definite impediment to an increase in power. So the politicians from President Wilson on up to and including Obama, started re-defining its phrases and meanings to their own ends and for their own gain. FDR was one of the worst. He attempted to create rights that don't exist under the Constitution. Bernie is doing the same thing.
How best to circumvent the constitutional limitations than by convincing the people that government would provide for them in their every day lives, or in times of emergencies. Meanwhile, the people, by ignorance and in-action, allowed history, once again, to repeat itself. Another Republic, in a long line of Republics, became a socialist, Absolute Democrat Monarchy in just a hundred years. It can only lead to CIVIL WAR ..... again!
In furtherance of the destruction of the Supreme Law of the Land, politicians agreed to the appointments of liberal justices (until Trump) who would interpret the constitution, not as the Founders had created it, but by twisting the words in the Constitution to fit a particular social or radical environmental agenda. They did so by perveting and then expanding the original meaning of the "Commerce", "Necessary and Proper" and the "Promote the General Welfare" clauses in the Constitution.
There is nothing in the Constitution that allowed the U. S. Supreme Court Justices to legalize abortion. The justices literally created a law out of whole cloth, without any constitutional justification whatsoever. The Congress and then the U. S. Supreme Court also gave us the socialist medical program known as Obama Care.
These same supreme court justices, over the last 80 to 100 years, have perverted the meanings of the first ten amendments, the foundation of our unalienable rights, thereby diluting those rights. Through environmental legislation (Agenda 21) passed by the U. S. Congress and sanctioned by the U. S. Supreme Court, laws, bearing absolutely no resemblance to constitutional authority, have been added to the law of the land such that property rights have been rendered virtually non-existent. Landowners have been relegated to unwilling serfs of an all-powerful, unrelenting, environmentally crazed government. Laws with a particular social agenda, have been created in much the same manner.
The Second Amendment is now under a vicious attack by Democrats in almost every state and the U. S. Congress, such that the very existence of the Second Amendment is in serious jeopardy.
It boils down to that a majority of Americans know hardly anything about the U. S. Constitution, nor do they care to know. They know even less about how the free market works and why it is so vitally necessary to the workings of a free society. That is a complete failure and a breakdown of the public education system in America as well as gross parental negligence. Is it any wonder that millennials are going for Bernie Sanders, by the millions?
So don't blame Bernie. Blame the ignorant dolts that vote for him. Blame the politicians and the educators that implemented institutional socialist brainwashing in our public schools and allowed constitutional and free market ignorance to prevail ..... on purpose!
Man on earth is indeed at the top of the food chain on this third rock from the Sun. He has no natural enemies or predators that prey upon him except himself. His only real threatening enemies are the earth, deadly viruses and bacterium ..... and Socialist Democrats like Bernie Sanders and the voters that vote for him!

"Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe." Frederick Douglass, social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman (1818 - 1895)
By now Super Tuesday is over, the results of which surprised a lot of the pundits. Biden was catapulted to front-runner status, out of fear that Bernie Sanders could actually win the nomination and destroy the chance of defeating Donald Trump in November. Based on dismal Super Tuesday showings, Bloomberg, Buttigieg, Warren, Klobuchar and Steyer have dropped out of the race, leaving only Biden and Bernie as the two remaining Democrat candidates for president, out of a field of candidates that had risen to 26 at one point. The question is, why is Bernie still there? Why is he receiving so many votes?
Anybody paying attention to the Democrat presidential candidates is well aware of Bernie Sanders' socialist drumbeat. Those accompanying him on this mad ride to the White House are just as bad but they don't come right out and say they are socialists like Bernie does. Nevertheless, they are pretty much on the same page as Bernie. It is indicative of the extreme far left platform of the "new and improved" Democrat Party.
Here's a list of what Bernie wants: It should blow your mind unless you're a socialist.
- End the death penalty.
- End cash bail - let the criminals go free
- Eliminate mandatory minimum sentences
- Eliminate private prisons (and then what?)
- Mandate paper ballots (that is probably the only thing we agree on)
- Implement Rent Controls and levy taxes on real estate speculation
- Raise taxes on the wealthy and the middle class (big taxes)
- Raise the minimum wage to $15.00 per hour
- Provide several MONTHS of broad paid leave
- Restrict charter school growth (pandering to the teacher's union)
- Provide free college tuition
- Cancel all student loan debt (taxpayer takes it in the shorts)
- Boost teacher pay (pandering to the teacher's union again)
- Limit political spending
- Eliminate the electoral college
- Implement all phases of the Green New Deal (no gas, cars, airplanes, etc.)
- Allow felons to vote ..... from prison no matter what there crime
- Close down nuclear power plants
- Ban oil and natural gas fracking
- Reduce carbon emissions by government regulation (how much and by when?)
- Break up agri-business - pay farmers to adopt climate-friendly practices
- Provide universal free meals in all schools
- Expand farm worker protections
- Have taxpayers pay for an assault weapons and magazine buy-back program
- Wants universal background checks for all purchases and transfers of weapons of any kind
- Implement red flags laws in all states (This is where they take your guns by force on an anonymous tip)
- No limits on abortion (even after birth)
- Implement Medicare for all (no matter what the cost!)
- Grant citizenship to millions of dreamers (DACA)
- Repeal the illegal entry statute & decriminalize illegal border crossings. In other words, open borders. (Let 'em all in!)
- Free health care and other benefits to illegal aliens (at taxpayer expense)
- Abolition ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement)
- Tear down existing border walls and don't build any more
- Legalize marijuana and scrap past pot convictions
- Slash defense spending and bring all of our troops home from foreign shores
- Increase the capital gains tax (to what?)
- Create a wealth tax and tax all financial stock trades
Talk about a fundamental transformation of America! This is not even a complete list but this list is shared by most, if not all, of the Democrat presidential candidates. Only God knows how much all of this will cost (Bernie doesn't) but the cost far exceeds the entire American annual gross domestic product and the taxing capability of the U. S. and state governments. It would triple the annual federal budget. If the government taxed everyone's income, capital gains and property 100%, along with a wealth tax, it still wouldn't be enough. By the way, a wealth tax is unconstitutional on its face.
This does not take into account the massive waste, fraud, abuse and corruption that would ensue with the government managing all these programs. No one knows how to waste taxpayer money better than the government. In just Medicare alone, estimates of waste, fraud, abuse and corruption (improper payments for services not rendered, etc.) are as much as $50 Billion a year. This is only one government program.
None of what we have described here answers the big question, why would any knowledgeable American vote for a candidate or a platform that would end individual freedom and property rights as we know it and destroy capitalism and the free market system, while instituting almost pure socialism? There can only be one answer to the question, constitutional and free market illiteracy.
America's pubic education system has failed America's youth for at least the last three generations in a systematic, premeditated destruction of objective education that has become instead socialist, environmental and one-world global indoctrination, orchestrated by the Progressive movement, the establishment, the deep state, educators and the Democrats, over the last 10 decades.
Shamefully, only 26% of Americans can name all three branches of government, down from 38% in 2011. But it gets worse. Only 33% of Americans could name even one branch of government and 37% could not name one right protected by the First Amendment. (There are five rights)
The test to become a U. S. Citizen only requires 60 percent grade to pass. In a survey of 1,000 legal American citizens, just barely 36 percent could achieve a passing grade. 74% of senior citizens passed the citizenship test but only 20% of those under 45 could get the 60% necessary to pass. Only 13% knew the year the Constitution was written. (1787) (Source: Forbes Magazine)
The U. S. Department of Education was established in October of 1979. During that time it has done nothing to improve constitutional or free market literacy. Instead we got the "Race To The Top", "No Child Left Behind" and "Common Core State Standards" that were the educational programs designed (by educated idiots) to allegedly increase the effectiveness of American education. Unfortunately, these programs were more about social justice, gender, LGBTQ, race and ethnic issues than they were about objective learning. That's brainwashing for socialist purposes!
Earlier this year we uncovered legislation in Washington State that mandated the teaching of the U. S. and State Constitutions and the American form of government in various grades, from elementary through high school. A worthy goal it seemed. However, in digging deeper we discovered that this law was not exclusive to Washington State, but was being mandated by legislation originated in 1994 by the U. S. Congress. We were aghast to learn that what they were teaching with their universal text books from this legislation, that America was not a Constitutional Republic, but a Constitutional Democracy. The differences are night and day. We must "Get Progressive Educated Idiots Out of Education."
Now the State of Washington is about to pass a law this year to teach sex education to kindergarterners. So littly five-year old Johnnies and Jennies can learn about multiple genders and sexual proclivities, abnormalities and deviations, rather than learning that Mother Nature created two sexes, a man and a woman. Yes, gene mutations and genetic errors do create some physical variations. Nevertheless, any deviation from the two-gender reality is fake news, even though Facebook is trying to convince us that by some trick of nature there are 58 genders. And you wonder why little Johnny is confused about his sexual orientation?

"Where Else Can It Lead But Civil War?"
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners
and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

"Something is wanting, and something must be done, or we shall be involved in all the horror of failure and civil war without a prospect of its termination." Henry Knox, military officer in the Continental Army (1750 - 1806)
America is indeed a great country. From sea to shining sea, we live in unrivaled splendor and beauty, from seashore to majestic mountain ranges where eagles soar on the wind, to the fertile great plains of the mid-west where the buffalo roam and to the deserts of the southwest where the snakes and scorpions prowl and back to the sea again, very few places on earth can match the exceptional geography of America.
In a previous article we wrote: "In spite of all of our individual and collective faults, there is a 'great good' that exists in a very large number of us. That good is personified in a wide range of human traits and behavior including private and public achievements, bravery, courage, sacrifice, industry, creativity, empathy, generosity, spontaneous volunteerism and spirit, either as individuals, or as a society. Unfortunately, due to the distorted window through which we view our information, that 'great good' in us seems to be eclipsed by an over-zealous emphasis on that which appears to be 'bad' within us."
Nevertheless, with fear and trepidation, we transition from the bright light of 244 years of American liberty to the darkening skies of government-instituted tyranny and socialism and maybe even fascism. We fear for our liberty, our security and our lives. We fear for our children's future. We fear for our beloved America. Will she continue under the flag of freedom, or will she descend into the depths of socialism, depravity, mind-numbing mediocrity, bankruptcy, slavery and more likely war? Are we to be consumed by the growing national and international power of those who would enslave us, or will the strength of our belief in freedom and liberty be enough to overcome the evil beast that is Hell bent on wrapping us in chains?
Instead of living under the one ideology of individual freedom, over 100 years ago we split into two opposing ideologies with the birth of Progressivism. One ideology believes in the principles of individual liberty as outlined in America's Supreme Law of the Land, the U. S. Constitution. The Progressive ideology has attached itself to a Karl Marx Communist Manifesto whose principles are founded on the collective and the alleged infallible power of the state, not the individual, as follows:
I. Nothing in society will belong to anyone, either as a personal possession or as capital goods, except the things for which the person has immediate use, for either his needs, his pleasures, or his daily work.
II. Every citizen will be a public man, sustained by, supported by, and occupied at the public expense.
III. Every citizen will make his particular contribution to the activities of the community according to his capacity, his talent and his age; it is on this basis that his duties will be determined, in conformity with the distributive laws .....
..... as summarized in the statement: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."
The principles of these two opposing ideologies, socialism vs. freedom, are mutually exclusive. They are in contradiction with each other. There is no compromise between the two.
The socialism side is now viciously and violently attacking the freedom side, throughout America. They are doing everything in their power to squelch the opinions and beliefs of those that support individual freedom. To not fight back is a sign of weakness and only emboldens the socialism side.
A bully not confronted and taken down, is a bully empowered to continue on his path of destruction and devastation of lives and livelihoods, especially those self-righteous bullies that bully others under the false flag of irrational compassion, such as taxpayer-funded free health care and other subsidies for illegal aliens that Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders is promoting.
Bernie's rise to the apparent front-runner in the presidential election year of 2020 is further proof that millions of Americans have crossed over the tipping point into the mindset of socialism.
One man or woman, or a group of men or women, with governmental power over the masses, but without limits, oversight, or confronted by a force of equal power, will eventually assume absolute power. The national and international ruling class, oligarchs, industry titans, elites, anarchists and socialists are well on their way to assuming absolute world power. If they succeed, war in America is inevitable.
In a divorce between a man and woman, the reasons often given are lack of commitment, too much arguing, infidelity, lack of trust, marrying too young, unrealistic expectations, lack of equity in the relationship, lack of preparation for marriage and physical and mental abuse. Several of these reasons can be summed up in two words, "irreconcilable differences."
America has reached the point of "irreconcilable differences" between the two ideologies where no amount of debate or compromise can close the gap. Something has to give.
As a nation, we lack commitment to freedom. We are arguing too much. Reasoned debate has turned into heated arguments and acrimony. We lack trust between the people and our institutions. There is lack of equity in the relationship. And there is physical and mental abuse by one party over the other. In such event, any resolution (divorce) is diplomacy by other means ..... WAR!, whether sooner or later. This intractable division between the parties and the ideology can lead to no other conclusion. Complicating the situation is unbridled corruption in our institutions, both private and public. Truth and honor are the first casualties of corruption. Without honor in the masses and our government representatives, freedom cannot survive.
Victory in a war is determined by which side has the wind on their back so to speak. Which side has the majority? Which side is righteous? Which side has the necessary leadership, men, materials, weapons of war, winning tactics and money to defeat the other side? Since the socialist ideology (Progressives) has the majority and has aligned itself with the all-powerful government, the world powers, the news media and academia, it would appear that they have the upper hand. So it would seem self-evident that socialism will prevail at the end of the battle. But will it?
General George Washington's army of under 20,000 men, was out matched by the British Army of 32,000 well-trained soldiers and yet Washington's army prevailed, with the help of France. The British Navy was the most powerful in the world but George Washington didn't need a navy to win. The British had much more money than the Colonials and Washington's army was deprived of weapons because the Continental Congress wouldn't allocate money and weapons to Washington.
But Washington knew the landscape of the battles and he employed guerrilla warfare tactics that were devastating to the British army that marched in columns. Washington's army was buoyed by patriotic zeal. Washington employed spies (the Culper Spy Ring) to gain intelligence of British movements and plans.
No, this is not 1776 and the conditions of battle would be much different today. Government has "big" guns and a standing army. The people have handguns and rifles but they are many while government forces are few in comparison.
So the outcome of any war is not pre-ordained at the start because one side is more powerful than the other. The Revolutionary war proved that a small fighting force, with superior leadership, can defeat a much larger force.
As we have faith that the night will soon turn to the welcome light of day, so too we must have faith that the twilight of tyranny we now enter, as our Sun of Freedom goes down, will ultimately end in a new day of liberty, on a not-too-distant horizon. We can hold that faith because the spark of freedom in the minds of the preponderance of Americans, is unique to any culture or country on Earth and it shall not, it will not, be extinguished. It is further enhanced by the fact that so many Americans are armed. American liberty is like bubbles in the sea that always rise to the surface in search of the freedom to "fly" in the open air.
Although silent we may be, when united, people of freedom have the power to climb over any obstacle, root out any corruption, or replace any tyrannical government. The difficult challenge lies before us, the place is here in America, the time is now and the world is watching what we do. This author has the unshakable confidence that true, brave and courageous Americans are up to the challenge and will ultimately prevail. As we pass into a "night" of gathering uncertainty, so too will we pass into a new dawn of freedom, just as we did 244 years ago and like then, we will be born anew. President Donald Trump may very well be the catalyst to re-ignite the fire of freedom in the souls of American patriots.
It is our belief that either civil war or revolution is inevitable due to irreconcilable differences between two diabolically opposed ideologies, even though we sincerely hope otherwise. Nevertheless, the wise ones will arm up and stock up in preparation of what is to come. Landowners will defend their land peacefully with our powerful, legally intimidating No Trespassing signs, or violently with their weapons, if it becomes necessary and it is quite likely it will become necessary.
Remember, "life is a never-ending fight to stay alive and a fight to keep others from taking your life, your property, or your liberty from you." The evil forces within government, the world elite and socialist and environmental special interests are trying to do just that unless freedom-loving Americans stop them. If you want to preserve freedom, you are going to have to fight for it ..... by whatever means!

We can hold that faith because the spark of freedom in the minds of the preponderance of Americans, is unique to any culture or country on Earth and it shall not, it will not, be extinguished. It is further enhanced by the fact that so many Americans are armed. American liberty is like bubbles in the sea that always rise to the surface in search of the freedom to "fly" in the open air.
Although silent we may be, when united, people of freedom have the power to climb over any obstacle, root out any corruption, or replace any tyrannical government. The difficult challenge lies before us, the place is here in America, the time is now and the world is watching what we do. This author has the unshakable confidence that true, brave and courageous Americans are up to the challenge and will ultimately prevail. As we pass into a "night" of gathering uncertainty, so too will we pass into a new dawn of freedom, just as we did 244 years ago and like then, we will be born anew. President Donald Trump may very well be the catalyst to re-ignite the fire of freedom in the souls of American patriots.
It is our belief that either civil war or revolution is inevitable due to irreconcilable differences between two diabolically opposed ideologies, even though we sincerely hope otherwise. Nevertheless, the wise ones will arm up and stock up in preparation of what is to come. Landowners will defend their land peacefully with our powerful, legally intimidating No Trespassing signs, or violently with their weapons, if it becomes necessary and it is quite likely it will become necessary.
Remember, "life is a never-ending fight to stay alive and a fight to keep others from taking your life, your property, or your liberty from you." The evil forces within government, the world elite and socialist and environmental special interests are trying to do just that unless freedom-loving Americans stop them. If you want to preserve freedom, you are going to have to fight for it ..... by whatever means!

"New Hampshire Colonials Must Be Vomiting In Their Graves"
By Ron Ewart, President

"People are unhappy with the direction of this country - we saw that with the rise of the tea party, we saw that when we saw thousands of people at the state house in Concord, New Hampshire, protesting the government over more taxes and spending." Corey Lewandowski
Yes! The New Hampshire presidential primary election is in the rear view mirror and as expected, Bernie Sanders received the lion's share of the delegates, but .....
"Live Free or Die?" Really? Sadly, one of the oldest of the 50 states, has turned from red to blue. Yes, today, it has a Republican Governor, but its governing policies have shifted left into socialist territory as far back as the 1960's when the Democrat Party made a resurgence in the state. Since 1992, New Hampshire has supported the Democrat candidate running for president with Clinton in 1992, John Kerry in 2004 and Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012.
New Hampshire wasn't always a left-leaning state. In December of 1774 the people of New Hampshire supported the armed resistance against the British. It furnished two brigadier generals to the Constitutional Army. It provided three regiments of regular troops and hundreds of short-term militiamen. It created its own government in 1776 and instructed its delegates attending the Continental Congress to vote for independence. New Hampshire was the ninth and deciding vote in ratifying the U. S. Constitution in 1788. Its Republican and conservative roots ran deep.
But like Virginia and the rest of the 13 colonies, the "Granite State" has shed most of its conservative roots in favor of the "Slow-Moving Avalanche" of socialism.
The telltale signs of the current shift came in the 2020 Presidential Primary where Democrats cast over 292,000 votes for 35 Democrat presidential candidates. In the top three-front runners, Sanders received 76,286 votes, Buttigieg received 72,443 votes and Klobuchar received 68,818 votes, for a total of 207,547 votes. In contrast, the Republicans (Trump) only received a little over 156,000 votes.
The Democratic turnout set record levels and exceeded the 2008 record. New Hampshirites were really charged up with socialist Democrats in the presidential primary on February 11th, 2020, Democrats that have shifted so far left, they have entered the American forbidden zone of abject socialism. New Hampshire, one of the 13 colonies that gave birth to American freedom, has joined the mad rush into socialism by naive' millennials who can't wait for Bernie Sanders to shower them with "free" health care, free college tuition, pay off all student loans, repeal the Electoral College, allow 16-year-olds and violent felons to vote, free health care to illegal aliens and God knows what else.
By now, most, if not all of the 13 colonies have gone socialist, including New Hampshire. We've have outlined the reasons for this shift in numerous previous articles. One of the main reasons for the shift is directly related to what happens to high-dense urban cities. Large population centers, by their very nature, become dependent on government over time. Dependency on government leads to socialism. The more the people demand of government, the more government restricts and regulates their behavior. The more the government gives, the more the people want.
We explained further in a previous article entitled: "Urban Dwellers Won't Save America, They'll Destroy It."
"Early America was predominantly an agricultural nation, in the years leading up to the industrial revolution. An agricultural existence was subsistence on its raw edges for small farms all across the land. Thus, with the promise of steady wages in manufacturing and out of the weather, the people came off the farms in droves and swept into the ever-growing cities for a better life, or so they thought."
"Manufacturers built factories in large cities because of being able to access cheap labor. In the early days of the industrial revolution, the employers egregiously exploited that labor. From that exploitation came the unions and the adversarial relationship between employer and employee was born on a grand scale. Both employers and employees became powerful. Each used the government, local, state or federal, to gain the upper hand and the upper hand shifted back and forth on the winds of politics."
"Big city governments got into the act in a big way, to answer the dependency of the big-city residents. They had to keep the rising poor from rioting, so they increased welfare handouts to the poor and un-employed. Big-city budgets started to rapidly balloon in the social sector. Police, fire and other essential government duties started to take a back seat to social promises. With the social burden came government employees to administer to that burden. With higher densities came more laws and with more laws came more enforcement and with more enforcement came more government employees. Government employees organized unions and started demanding greater wages and better benefits. With higher wages and better benefits, city tax revenue was burdened even more. Taxes were raised on everyone else to pay for the social welfare, higher government wages and better benefits. Government and unions got even stronger. Now we have dependent, dumbed-down poor and chronically un-employed, fully institutionalized in our big cities and a heavy, ever-growing tax burden to fund it all."
Most of the American population is concentrated on the East Coast. The highest population densities occur in New Jersey, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland, Delaware and New York, all states being part of the original 13 colonies. That is where most of the votes are, with the exception of Texas and California.
Take a look at a night picture of the United States and see the concentration of light. It is all concentrated East of the Mississippi River with the lion's share of the light on the Atlantic Coast from New York up into the New England states. That density of nightlight is emblematic of the density of population.
The East Coast (mostly New York City) is not only the financial center of America, it is also the communication center. Most news comes from the four major most powerful television networks of NBC, CBS and ABC, and now Fox News, all centered in New York City. The major news services like Associated Press and Bloomberg are located in New York City.
Even Wall Street, the alleged seat of capitalism, donates to and votes mostly Democrat. Capitalism and socialism are like matter and anti-matter. When they meet there is a terrible explosion. In human terms, that explosion is massive riots and violence on the streets of big cities, as observed in France and other countries today.
The East Coast (mostly Washington DC) is the political powerhouse that rules the rest of the country. What happens in New York City and Washington DC ripples throughout the entire nation. But most of the Atlantic Coast has gone socialist. The East Coast socialist bias permeates all news, finances, legislation and high court decisions.
The East Coast (Progressives, Democrats, Liberals in the 13 colonies) has given us the always-growing welfare state. They have perpetrated one of the greatest frauds on the American people and most of the planet, the fraud of man-caused global warming. Now they want to shove the "Green New Deal" down our throats and send us back to the dark ages. Just imagine a life without cars and airplanes.
They have corrupted our public schools and academia with their Progressive agenda. They have taxed and regulated us to death.
They have let our public infrastructure decay to the point it is a danger to life and limb.
They have allowed our borders to be overrun by illegal aliens, white slavery, human and drug trafficking, at a tremendous cost to the American taxpayer in financial, social, emotional, economic and job losses.
Their anti-American trade policies have driven jobs to foreign nations until Trump started bringing those jobs back to America.
They have nationalized America's health care system under Obama Care and now want to dump a Medicare-for-all (single-payer) health care system on 330,000,000 Americans at an astronomical cost and loss of freedom and individual choice.
New Hampshire is just an integral part of this East Coast socialist, radical environmentalist and one-world-order cabal. The thirteen colonies that gave birth to freedom have now given us the enemy of freedom, socialism.
We'll begin to see which way the socialist wind is blowing in 2020 as more primary votes start rolling in. The results of the Super Tuesday primaries will give us an indication on whether America is still a Constitutional Republic or a mob-ruled Democracy.
Virtually half of the American people are on some sort of government assistance and they will vote to preserve that assistance. That means they will most likely vote Democrat.
Only about 53% of eligible voters vote in a presidential election year. In a mid-term year, less than half of eligible voters vote. Most of the people that don't vote are on government assistance. If all the people that don't usually vote in a national election were to vote, the Democrats would win in a landslide. That is how far America has slid towards socialism and the 13 colonies, including New Hampshire, led the way. The cost has been the loss of individual freedom and liberty.

"A 16-Step Program To Destroy America"
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners
and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.
© Copyright Sunday, February 16, 2020 - All Rights Reserved
"The problems we face now - poverty and violence at home, war and destruction abroad - will last as long as we continue relying on the same politicians who created them in the first place."
Donald Trump
As everyone knows it is much easier to tear something down than it is to build it in the first place. Buildings are demolished in a few seconds with some well-placed explosives at the foundation and certain key points in the structure. It was utterly amazing to watch the almost instantaneous destruction (11 seconds) of Seattle's Kingdom sports stadium, a concrete structure that was designed to last 1,000 years.
But it takes a little longer to destroy a free country. Nevertheless, the methods are actually quite similar. All you have to do is to plant a few well-placed "explosives" on the foundation of freedom and blow the guts out of the key points of its internal strength. There is nothing to it, if the people aren't paying attention and of course, they aren't. They're too busy or don't care.
Where to plant the explosives to destroy a free country:
Explosive No. 1 Let the Government get the people to believe they are "victims".
Explosive No. 2 Let the government get the people to think that Government is their only salvation and solution to their problems.
Explosive No. 3 Get the people to lobby their elected representatives to rob the public treasury to pay the "victims", thereby securing their votes for the representatives to remain in power.
Explosive No. 4 Subvert the rule of law by allowing the government to pass law, after law, after law to make the system soooooo complicated that the people will be confused and only the government (or high paid lawyers) can interpret what is legal and illegal.
Explosive No. 5 Use the education system to brainwash our children in socialism, radical environmentalism and the one world order, for several generations. Fail to teach the history and foundation of our freedom.
Explosive No. 6 Do not forcefully protect our borders against illegal immigration, human smuggling and drug trafficking. Provide free health care, welfare and other benefits to illegal aliens. Encourage them to vote in our elections even though it is illegal for a foreign national to vote.
Explosive No. 7 Allow the government to support, advocate for and teach multiple languages.
Explosive No. 8 Undermine the constitution by codifying environmental protection into law and giving it more priority than our freedom, liberty and property rights. Force climate change down the throats of the people to make them feel guilty and get them to pay huge taxes to solve a problem that isn't man-made, the sole purpose being to further control the behavior of the masses.
Explosive No. 9 Heavily tax the people to pay for all the social engineering and environmental protection, then make the tax code so complicated, no one will understand it.
Explosive No. 10 Enter into foreign wars where our intent is not to win, but to try and convert the country in which we are fighting, into a Democracy.
Explosive No. 11 Enter into hidden executive agreements (trade deals and treaties) with other countries, without congressional approval, or even with congressional approval, that repeal our sovereignty and eat away at our constitutional protections, in the quest of a one-world order. (USMCA - the North American Union - TPP, WTO, Iran Nuclear Deal, etc.)
Explosive No. 12 Establish a Federal Reserve and the Internal Revenue Service used to tax the people to pay back the Federal Reserve for its loans to the government. Make every American a debt servant to the deficit and national debt over which the people have no control.
Explosive No. 13 Nationalize the nation's health care system (Obama Care) with the goal of establishing a single-payer health care system, totally controlled by the government. Medicare-for-all.
Explosive No. 14 Let federal, state, or local agencies, use the raw power of their agencies to illegally investigate any American citizen, or illegally investigate or spy on members of the opposite political party with the sole purpose of discrediting, tearing down, accusing them of crimes they didn't commit, embarrassing, impugning, libeling, or defaming an individual, or members of a political party.
Explosive No. 15 Let powerful men of finance, industry and politics conspire to dissolve the nation's sovereignty by forcing one-world government upon us. The following are statements made by powerful men at meetings of the Bilderberg Group and the United Nations in Europe at different times doing just that:
"Today Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will pledge with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenarios, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government." Henry Kissinger in an address to the Bilderberg organization meeting at Evian, France, May 21, 1992. Transcribed from a tape recording made by one of the Swiss delegates.
"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years." He went on to explain: "It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The super-national sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries." David Rockefeller speaking at the June 1991 Bilderberger meeting in Baden Baden, Germany (a meeting also attended by then Governor Bill Clinton and Dan Quayle).
"It is the sacred principles enshrined in the UN Charter to which we will henceforth pledge our allegiance." George Bush addressing the world leaders at the UN.
Explosive No. 16 The People choosing to ignore the above 15 warning signs of destruction.
As a private pilot we study airplane accidents. In almost every airplane accident that can be attributed to pilot error, the pilots ignored the initial warning signs that led up to the accident. It wasn't just one thing the pilots ignored it was a serious of three or more things. WE THE PEOPLE are the pilots of the "American Freedom Plane" and we have ignored the warning signs of our own destruction. We are now on fire and it's uncertain that we can safely land the plane. If Americans aren't scared, they just don't understand the situation. There is little time to put the fire out and get the plane on the ground.

A free country cannot remain free without a foundation of basic principles. Our Declaration of Independence and the U. S. Constitution contain those principles. We either defend these principles or we give up our claim to freedom. NARLO has designed its own set of principles, based on the Constitution. You can find NARLO's 18 principles HERE. Our goal and objective is to defend those principles with every ounce of courage and energy we can derive from the strength of American individuals who savor and are willing to fight for freedom.

"For Millions of Us, Watching America Die Is Gut Wrenching"
By Ron Ewart, President

"'Tis a cruel and terrible thing to witness the death of an old friend, body riddled with disease, emaciated, disfigured and racked with convulsions, his youthful energy, pleasing smile and happy disposition a far distant memory. One wishes for a merciful death and yet one holds out hope that somehow your old friend will be miraculously healed and restored to good health, even though you know in your heart that certain death has him firmly in its grip." Ron Ewart
President Trump gave an excellent State-of-the-Union speech a week ago. He closed his speech with these words:
"It was that same yearning for freedom that nearly 250 years ago gave birth to a special place called America. It was a small cluster of colonies caught between a great ocean and a vast wilderness. But it was home to an incredible people with a revolutionary idea: that they could rule themselves. That they could chart their own destiny. And that, together, they could light up the world. That is what our country has always been about. That is what Americans have always stood for, always strived for, and always done."
"Atop the dome of this Capitol stands the Statue of Freedom. She stands tall and dignified among the monuments to our ancestors who fought and lived and died to protect her. Monuments to Washington and Jefferson — to Lincoln and King. Memorials to the heroes of Yorktown and Saratoga — to young Americans who shed their blood on the shores of Normandy, and the fields beyond. And others, who went down in the waters of the Pacific and the skies over Asia."
"And freedom stands tall over one more monument: this one. This Capitol. This living monument to the American people. A people whose heroes live not only in the past, but all around us — defending hope, pride, and the American way."
"They work in every trade. They sacrifice to raise a family. They care for our children at home. They defend our flag abroad. They are strong moms and brave kids. They are firefighters, police officers, border agents, medics, and Marines."
"But above all else, they are Americans. And this Capitol, this city, and this Nation, belong to them. Our task is to respect them, to listen to them, to serve them, to protect them, and to always be worthy of them."
"Americans fill the world with art and music. They push the bounds of science and discovery. And they forever remind us of what we should never forget: The people dreamed this country. The people built this country. And it is the people who are making America great again."
"As long as we are proud of who we are, and what we are fighting for, there is nothing we cannot achieve. As long as we have confidence in our values, faith in our citizens, and trust in our God, we will not fail."
We applaud and agree with his words of hope. They were moving, inspirational and patriotic. Unfortunately, those words belie where America is today. America is hopelessly divided by two opposing ideologies that are in direct conflict with each other, with no signs of compromise, only division, bitterness and vitriol. We are further divided by race, gender, creed, religion, language and culture. Government did that to us to increase its power over us and we let them do it.
The Declaration of Independence by the people wherein it states 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" has now been rendered against the law by federal statute. (See: "Title 18 USC Section 2385")
The U. S. Constitution lays in tatters on a dark, dirty, deserted street, scattered among the wind-blown trash. The intent of the framers is considered to be old fashioned and out of date, unless it is recalled for political reasons by one party to impeach a president of the other party, with questionable evidence and hollow arguments.
The U. S. Congress has become impotent, inefficient and dead locked. Major problems that can only be fixed by Congress are ignored.
Americans are burdened by crushing regulations and exorbitant taxes, allegedly for social and environmental policies that sap the strength and vitality out of the American people and make them weak and dependent. The regulations and taxes are a great sucking sound of the economic and creative life of America's production and services. It turns out that Free-stuff sells much easier to weak people, than free-dom.
Socialism, radical environmentalism and global government have infiltrated and sabotaged the pillars of our freedom and undermine our liberty. Treaties and unconstitutional laws have savaged our sovereignty and national identity. (See: "USMCA - Americans Sold Down the River ..... Again!")
Our borders are being overrun by illegal aliens that exploit our generous benefits, with no thought of assimilating into our culture and values. They bring crime and disease with them. Forty-four Democrats in the U. S. House have proposed the "New Way Forward Act" which will make it virtually impossible to deport illegal aliens and makes Americans pay for aliens previously deported to be brought back to America. It probably won't pass the Senate, but who knows, it might.
Our public schools and colleges have become institutions of socialist, environmental and one-world indoctrination, not institutions of objective learning. Is it any wonder that parents want to send their kids to private schools?
The news media, print, radio and TV, and academia have thrown off the mantel of objectivity and sided with one of the ideologies where it promotes and fosters that ideology while tearing down and demonizing the opposing ideology.
Our roads and bridges are crumbling as Congress engages in acts of divisiveness, contempt and hate. We are being forced out of our cars in favor of mass transit. We are being driven out of our rural areas into crowded and crime-ridden cities, in the name of radical environmentalism.
Un-ratified by Congress, United Nations Agenda 21 policies of sustainable development, smart growth and infilling have taken over urban planning. The American dream of owning a single-family home is discouraged in favor of massive apartment buildings. Giant homes are built on small lots with no place for kids to play or grow a garden. Only the upper middle class and the very wealthy can afford a single-family home.
Our health care system is horrendously expensive and a government-created debacle. Congressional infighting makes it impossible to fix. Medicare-for-all is now the rallying cry of the left, without regard to the fact that it would destroy our economy and force 180,000,000 Americans off of their private health care plans. The Democrats' "Obama Care" was the foot in the door for single-payer health care.
Climate change propaganda, alias man-caused global warming, permeates our daily lives. It's in our schools and colleges. It is drummed into us through newspapers, endless TV shows, the daily news and documentaries. Even corporate America has bought into the fraud and is now pledging to go "green" by some date certain. The Democrats' "Green New Deal" is a cruel joke that could send Americans back to the living standards of pioneer days. The fraud of man-caused global warming is shoved down our collective throats from every direction, even though credible, repeatable science and scientists have debunked it. (See: "Climate")
Prosecutors have gone soft on crime. Petty and sometimes violent criminals are released without bail to offend or kill again. Judges mete out soft sentences for heinous crimes. The two black shooters that caused panic, mayhem, injury and death on a downtown Seattle street a few weeks ago were arrested over 75 times between them for prior infractions but they were set free to shoot, kill and rob.
Tens of thousands of illegal aliens are killing, robbing, stabbing, raping and smashing into legal Americans with their cars and are then given sanctuary by some cities and states. These alien criminals are then set free by local law enforcement even though ICE has issued a detainer for them.
But for the victims of these crimes there is little to no justice. Kate Stienle's parents of San Francisco sued the U. S. government for the killing of their daughter by an illegal alien. The case was dismissed. Justice denied.
The right to bear arms under the Second Amendment is under constant attack by Democrats and if the attack continues unabated, could lead to a civil war.
Rural landowners are being asked to bear almost the entire burden of environmental protection while their urban cousins get off scot-free. Environmental regulations plague landowners such that their right of use, one of the four pillars of property rights, has become a barren right. They are fined and heavily penalized by the EPA and other government agencies for almost any activity. Recourse in the courts is mostly unavailable. Eminent domain abuse by all levels of government has risen. Rural landowners are a disenfranchised minority and are constantly under attack by environmentalists and the government with no political or judicial recourse. The environmentalists' majority vote in big cities lord over the beleaguered rural landowner.
In spite of President Trump's words of "everything is great in America", everything is not great in America. In fact, "America's Freedom Is On Life Support" and anyone that believes otherwise is ignoring the facts. How can anyone account for socialist Democrats Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, or Pete Buttigieg being taken seriously by voters ..... in what was once a Constitutional Republic?
Watching America's disintegration and retreat from freedom and a mad rush into socialism is heart breaking and gut wrenching, especially for seniors. Seniors (over 65) have a much broader perspective of America's history and values than do the millennials or their parents. For seniors, gone are the hardships of making a living and raising family. Gone are the distractions of sex, drugs, money, raw entertainment and debauchery, so they see more clearly. But gone too is the energy needed to fight a battle, or solve a problem. Taking up the fight against government is mostly a physical impossibility for seniors, even though many try. Most of the people that respond to our articles are over 70.
America faces huge problems, many of them politically un-resolvable. Who will save America from committing national suicide? If government refuses to fix the problems and freedom is to be preserved, then it is up to the younger generation to find solutions. But the younger generation is spoiled, high on drugs, distracted, apathetic and disinterested, or simply doesn't care. Millions of millennials are openly embracing socialism. Many of America's big cities emulate the Biblical twin sin cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.
So the nation's problems persist and millions of us are being forced to helplessly watch as America slides unstoppable, from freedom into socialism. Does "certain death" have America firmly in its grip, or will WE THE PEOPLE miraculously heal our diseased, emaciated and disfigured nation?
Perhaps if Trump is re-elected, America might have a chance to save itself. But even if he is re-elected, there is no guarantee that he can stop the SLOW-MOVING SOCIALIST AVALANCHE that started under the Progressives over a century ago.

"USMCA - Americans Sold Down The River ..... Again!"

"I guess what bothers me so much about what I see going on in Washington, DC is an effort to keep people from finding out about the mistakes of lawmakers, and then when they're uncovered, an effort to fool people and pretend there was nothing wrong." Chris Bell
Did you read the much touted United States Mexico-Canada Free Trade Agreement (USMCA)? Of course you didn't, it's almost 2,000 pages long. But that's OK, neither did many of your senators and congressmen and women but they passed it anyway. Did the President read the entire document? It's highly unlikely.
Oh, and by the way, did you get to vote for the USMCA? Of course not! Your senators and congressmen and women and the President did it for you. Do you trust them to act on your behalf and in your best interests and in the nation's best interests? Given the Congresses' past record on treaties, laws, rules and regulations, it doesn't leave much to trust. Perhaps you remember Obama Care where its supposed benefits were outright lies.
Do you know what is in the USMCA? Well if you didn't read it, how could you know what's in it? As they say, the devil is in the details and there is plenty of "devil" in the USMCA.
Once the Democrats got a hold of it in the U. S. House, they added a whole bunch of their favorite labor, socialist, environmental and one-world policies, turning it into a North American Union Trade Socialist and Environmental Agreement where national sovereignty and American law took a back seat to their world government agenda. The Democrat's additions were embodied in a 27-page addendum to the USMCA, containing socialist and legalese gobbledygook. We read it. President Trump should have vetoed the entire USMCA.
Some of the Democrats didn't want to sign it because it didn't contain language on climate change. Climate change in a free trade agreement?!!! Nevertheless, they managed to insert language in the agreement about protection for the LGBTQ community. Really, in a trade agreement?!!!
But the big question is, does the USMCA violate the U. S. Constitution? Unfortunately, in many areas it does. In Bond v. United States, the majority wrote that, "while Congress has the authority to create legislation to enforce treaties, it must do so while respecting the traditional division of sovereign responsibility between the federal government and the states."
Justice Thomas concurred and wrote that, "while Congress has the power to create laws to enforce treaties, that power does not extend to the enforcement of laws that would infringe on states' rights." The USMCA tramples all over states' rights and property rights.
In the 1957 case of Reid v. Covert, the high court majority wrote on the Supremacy Clause that, "There is nothing in this language which intimates that treaties and laws enacted pursuant to them do not have to comply with the provisions of the Constitution."
If the USMCA were in fact a true free trade agreement, without all the social, environmental and labor provisions in it, no constitutional conflict would exist. But the USMCA implements and requires enforcement of international law in place of American federal and state law ..... in violation of the U. S. Constitution. Here's how:
"Land ... cannot be treated as an ordinary asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market. Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice; if unchecked, it may become a major obstacle in the planning and implementation of development schemes. Public control of land use is therefore indispensable."
These are just some of the highlights from the 1,800-page USMCA. Before the Democrats got a hold of it, the agreement may have been a workable treaty. Why President Trump signed the Treaty can only be ascribed to his lack of knowledge of what is really in it. Unfortunately, the Treaty is now the "law of the land" according to the U. S. Constitution. One wonders if anyone will actually challenge the Constitutional conflicts in court?
This only serves to illuminate what lawmakers, senators and congressmen and women, at every level of government, do to treaties, new laws and bureaucratic rules. They are loaded up with socialist and environmental fine print that buries hidden agendas and unconstitutional and many times international language. Very few Americans, much less the politicians, take the time to read the laws and rules the policy makers sign into law. Very few laws or bureaucratic rules are ever challenged in court to determine their constitutionality. Consequently, we end up with millions of unconstitutional laws that are directly opposed to or repeal the unalienable rights of American citizens. This is exactly how socialism, radical environmentalism and the one-world-order crept into American law hidden in the fine print ..... under our very noses.
SIDEBAR: THE US 2020 CENSUS:
2020 is a census year where Americans are flooded by census takers asking all kinds of impertinent questions about which the government does not need to know but says they do. Every 10 years the intrusion into our private lives by census takers gets deeper and deeper. Tens of millions of Americans literally "hate" this intrusion. The Constitution in Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3 calls for an enumeration, or head count, every 10 years for the purpose of apportioning state representatives to the U. S. House of Representatives. An enumeration means the number of persons in the household. Congress has expanded this "head count" to anything they want to know about you, except whether you are a U. S. Citizen, or not. Sadly, the courts have upheld the government's right to probe into your personal affairs, stating that you don't have to worry because your information is kept confidential. But we all know that any information loaded onto a server these days is open to hacking, (just ask Equifax) or the prying eyes of bureaucrats, or even the IRS. So the government's promise to keep all your private information confidential is an empty one, like all of government's other promises. Anything you say on that form can and will be used against you in an administrative procedure, or a court of law.
Nevertheless, you still have the right to REVOKE the census taker's implied license to come on your property and collect your data. (They can still mail the form to you.) That right to REVOKE entry into your property by government agents and law enforcement, whether you live in a big city or out in the country, was upheld by a 2016 decision from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Carlos v. United States (D.C. No. 6:13-CR-00006-RAW-2).
NARLO has created a copyrighted No Trespass sign, as a companion to our large constitutional No Trespassing sign, containing the language from the 10th Circuit Court decision. We call our new sign the "Revocation of Implied License" No Trespass sign and it is available HERE. This powerful, legally intimidating No Trespass sign is not available anywhere else. Stop that census taker at the front gate, or any other government agent or law enforcement, with our "REVOCATION" sign.

If the USMCA were in fact a true free trade agreement, without all the social, environmental and labor provisions in it, no constitutional conflict would exist. But the USMCA implements and requires enforcement of international law in place of American federal and state law ..... in violation of the U. S. Constitution. Here's how:
- The USMCA promotes and creates economic integration of North America, not unlike the European Union, overriding American sovereignty. Is that what the American people wanted, a top-down, burdensome, international bureaucracy with the power to ignore American law? Why do you suppose Britain opted out of the European Union? The EU created the "Euro" for its currency. Will the USMCA create a cross-border currency called the "Amero" and scrap the dollar?
- The USMCA virtually sets in stone the United Nations AGENDA21, sustainable development policy, a policy that is the antithesis of and works to undermine Constitutional American property rights. This is the United Nations' policy on property rights:
"Land ... cannot be treated as an ordinary asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market. Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice; if unchecked, it may become a major obstacle in the planning and implementation of development schemes. Public control of land use is therefore indispensable."
- The USMCA works to integrate North American energy, where a common set of policies, rules and regulations would govern every energy supplier and producer in Canada, the U. S. and Mexico. This leaves the door open to environmental special interests to regulate all oil production under international edicts that employ climate change or other international environmental objectives. What if the overseers of the USMCA decided, for environmental reasons, that fracking was to be outlawed? New York, Vermont and Maryland have already banned fracking. Fracking led America to oil independence. What if they decided to limit oil production in favor of solar and wind power? Just watch your heating bill double or triple.
- The USMCA could easily and most likely will lead to a cross-border invasion of illegal aliens. In Chapter 23 of the Agreement it states, " No party shall adopt or maintain a measure that imposes a limitation on the total number of natural persons that may be employed in a particular financial service sector or that a financial institution or cross-border service supplier may employ in the form of numerical quotas or the requirement of an economic needs test."
- Other provisions in the agreement (Chapters 15 and 23) could undermine current border security measures and further open our nation's borders to illegal entry, drugs and human trafficking.
- In the area of labor, the USMCA mandates collective bargaining, which could force many non-union American businesses to the union labor negotiations table by force of law.
- Chapter 30 of the USMCA directly interferes in U. S. sovereignty. It establishes a "Free Trade Commission" as a regional governing bureaucracy with the power to change the agreement without the approval of the U. S. Congress.
- The USMCA also forces the United States to subordinate U. S. law to international law and international trade, in accordance with the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties of 1969. The U. S. Senate never ratified the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties.
- Under Chapter 24 of the USMCA, the United Nations Law of the Sea Treaty is invoked, a treaty that also was never ratified by the U. S. Senate. At the time, the U. S. Ambassador to the UN stated that the Law of the Sea Treaty would reduce our capacity for self-government and self-defense. In fact, this chapter mandates the parties to adhere to seven international multilateral environmental agreements.
These are just some of the highlights from the 1,800-page USMCA. Before the Democrats got a hold of it, the agreement may have been a workable treaty. Why President Trump signed the Treaty can only be ascribed to his lack of knowledge of what is really in it. Unfortunately, the Treaty is now the "law of the land" according to the U. S. Constitution. One wonders if anyone will actually challenge the Constitutional conflicts in court?
This only serves to illuminate what lawmakers, senators and congressmen and women, at every level of government, do to treaties, new laws and bureaucratic rules. They are loaded up with socialist and environmental fine print that buries hidden agendas and unconstitutional and many times international language. Very few Americans, much less the politicians, take the time to read the laws and rules the policy makers sign into law. Very few laws or bureaucratic rules are ever challenged in court to determine their constitutionality. Consequently, we end up with millions of unconstitutional laws that are directly opposed to or repeal the unalienable rights of American citizens. This is exactly how socialism, radical environmentalism and the one-world-order crept into American law hidden in the fine print ..... under our very noses.
SIDEBAR: THE US 2020 CENSUS:
2020 is a census year where Americans are flooded by census takers asking all kinds of impertinent questions about which the government does not need to know but says they do. Every 10 years the intrusion into our private lives by census takers gets deeper and deeper. Tens of millions of Americans literally "hate" this intrusion. The Constitution in Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3 calls for an enumeration, or head count, every 10 years for the purpose of apportioning state representatives to the U. S. House of Representatives. An enumeration means the number of persons in the household. Congress has expanded this "head count" to anything they want to know about you, except whether you are a U. S. Citizen, or not. Sadly, the courts have upheld the government's right to probe into your personal affairs, stating that you don't have to worry because your information is kept confidential. But we all know that any information loaded onto a server these days is open to hacking, (just ask Equifax) or the prying eyes of bureaucrats, or even the IRS. So the government's promise to keep all your private information confidential is an empty one, like all of government's other promises. Anything you say on that form can and will be used against you in an administrative procedure, or a court of law.
Nevertheless, you still have the right to REVOKE the census taker's implied license to come on your property and collect your data. (They can still mail the form to you.) That right to REVOKE entry into your property by government agents and law enforcement, whether you live in a big city or out in the country, was upheld by a 2016 decision from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Carlos v. United States (D.C. No. 6:13-CR-00006-RAW-2).
NARLO has created a copyrighted No Trespass sign, as a companion to our large constitutional No Trespassing sign, containing the language from the 10th Circuit Court decision. We call our new sign the "Revocation of Implied License" No Trespass sign and it is available HERE. This powerful, legally intimidating No Trespass sign is not available anywhere else. Stop that census taker at the front gate, or any other government agent or law enforcement, with our "REVOCATION" sign.

"Historical change is like an avalanche. The starting point is a snow-covered mountainside that looks solid. All changes take place under the surface and are rather invisible. The one certainty for anyone in the path of an avalanche is this: standing still is not an option." Norman Davies, British historian
You are skiing in the backcountry when all of a sudden you hear an ominous cracking and then a rushing sound like a hurricane. You look up slope to the mountain above you and realize that half a mountain of snow is headed right at you at 80 to 100 miles per hour. In an instant of horror and panic, your life flashes in front of you. You have two choices, stand still and die, or run. But which way should you go? Do you move sideways to get out of the path, or do you ski down hill in the hopes of out running the avalanche. The statistics say that you have probably bought the farm. Only a snowmobile has any chance of moving fast enough to escape being overrun. However, if you are caught up in the avalanche, the best advice is to swim in it and make air pockets as the avalanche comes to a stop. You should also be wearing an avalanche beacon so rescuers can find you.
Snow avalanches are sudden events and can occur without warning. But the slow-moving avalanche into socialism can take several generations and is so imperceptible the average person never sees it coming. You had better look up because there is a slow-moving, socialist avalanche coming right at you and that avalanche contains inside it, tyranny, oppression, despotism, domination, confiscation and government control and abuse. That avalanche contains the chains that will encase you forever in the cement of slavery.
The current Democrat candidates for President are a picture window into what they have in mind for you, lots of "free stuff" with no way to pay for it, if they get elected. The "free stuff" is designed to buy the votes of stupid people that haven't learned there is no such thing as a free lunch. Sadly, America is loaded with very stupid people and they might just have the numbers to elect the likes of Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, Tom Steyer, or God forbid, Michael Bloomberg. These Democrat candidates all want to tax the middle class into oblivion for their socialist programs and they want more control over your lives. They are not your friends. They are your sworn enemies.
Let's just say that you aren't stupid and you can see clearly what is going on. Just How Are You 'Gonna' Change Things?
There was a more simple time when Americans looked to them selves to get out of a scrape, instead of holding their outstretched hands to a nanny government for rescue and salvation.
But where is it written that the people have the power to peacefully turn back the clock to freer times, when our government has become so powerful and resistance is very costly, possibly futile, or deadly?
How can we unravel the tangled web of razor wire that is our legal and unjust justice system? How do we convince lawmakers that what they are doing is sapping the very strength and vitality out of our people by being everything for them and regulating every aspect of their lives?
How do we round up and send 22 million illegal aliens (current estimates) back across the border that they have purposely violated because government and special interest groups created multiple magnets for them to come here in the first place? How do we stop the hemorrhaging of billions of our tax dollars to an ever-rising criminal, financial and national security crisis that is illegal immigration?
What are YOU going to do about illegal immigration? Most likely you will do nothing because the problem exceeds your individual ability to fix it. The only people that can fix it (Congress), are AWOL, absent without leave and engaging in petty, infantile, elementary school sandbox squabbles over power. That is what the impeachment of Donald Trump is all about ..... raw political power engaged outside of the ballot box.
Tell us how you are going to repeal the millions of environmental laws that have made property rights meaningless and have raised the price of everything by significant margins? Who is going to stop the onslaught of endless climate change propaganda that has infected all of our institutions and the body politic before we spend trillions to fix a non-existent problem?
Now that government has taken over our health care, what is to stop them from taking control of our money, our land, our water, our food, our cars, our gas, our roads and our electricity? Absolutely nothing! They already have!
How do you convince a person that the handouts they are receiving from government are coming from someone else's sweat, labor and earnings and that what they are accepting is morally wrong, even though several generations in their extended family have been receiving those handouts. There are people in our society that need our help, but should that help come from government? Should it not be the outpouring of true compassion through those entities that are best able to administer it, in the private sector? Unfortunately there are way too many people in America that are getting government help that have no moral or constitutional right to it. The cost to our treasury and to the recipient's independence and pride is astronomical.
Finally, how do you undo the power that our government has amassed by violating the constitutional limits on its powers for over a hundred years, while WE THE PEOPLE looked the other way?
All the talk, all the rhetoric and all the talk shows and conservative articles in the world will not turn back the clock to the principles upon which America was founded. Either the believers and fighters in the defense of freedom and liberty coalesce as one on a grand scale, or the hands of the American clock will click ever onward towards abject socialism, radical environmentalism and the one world order. The Pendulum of our clock swings ever wider towards enslavement, as freedom smiles from a distance and then fades into a dim memory of all things past.
Traitors from within (Progressives) have bewitched us. These traitors haunt the halls of our government and taunt the devil in all of us. They have poisoned three generations of our children and their parents. They bring servitude instead of freedom; they promise security instead of liberty; and they force dependence on government instead of promoting self-reliance. We must be forever on our guard to prevent the traitor from convincing us that we are but victims and are in constant need of our father-mother government, to watch out over us. Even 2,000 years ago, wise men knew the evils of the traitor within and the devil that stalks freedom in the night and in the back rooms where ambitious men lay the seeds of slavery for all.
Those in power continue to divide and lie to us. Corruption in government is rampant. Today, the Establishment and Deep State divide us on race, religion, gender, jobs, foreign and economic policy, health care, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, education and immigration. We are so fragmented from this division we run around like chickens with their heads cut off. We fight each other instead of government. We couldn't mount a unified and large enough fighting group if our life depended on it. But our freedom and our very lives do depend on it. Sure we engage in skirmishes all over the place, but government just puts them down, or hauls away the leaders, or ignores us altogether. Remember Waco and Ruby Ridge.
It is a fact that only a well-equipped, well-trained, well-led, well funded and unified army can defeat a powerful enemy, foreign or domestic. So far, that unified army in the defense of freedom has not materialized.
But America is on the precipice of a new world war. If that happens there will be no turning back the clock, as America takes on world powers, whether it be Putin's Russia, China, a nuclear Iran or North Korea, ISIS, Boko Haram, Al Queda, or an Islamic Caliphate, or all of them at the same time. We must act before that happens.
The clock is ticking as liberty seeks men and women that are willing to lay it all on the line to limit the power of government, so that freedom may enter and remain in the hearts and minds of all people forever and government fears the people, instead of the other way around.
This slow-moving socialist avalanche is headed right for you. It will soon surround and envelope you, if it hasn't already. You cannot escape it. You can only succumb to it or fight it and hopefully, eradicate it before it consumes you, "eats out your substance" and turns your brain to mush. That is the only way you're 'gonna' change it.
"America set up a unique political environment in which an individual man, woman, or family, left alone by their government, could struggle and prosper or struggle and fail, based upon their own individual abilities. This country of individuals was created by people of vision, by people who were willing and free to take risks, by people who were willing to toil, by people who were willing to fend for themselves and take care of their own, by proud people and proud families." Ron Ewart
What happened to these proud "people" and proud "families?" Do they still exist, or has a slow-moving socialist avalanche swallowed them up and turned their minds and bodies to compliant robots?
We titled this article with "Just How Are You 'Gonna' Change Things?" The first thing you can do is to make sure that President Trump is re-elected in 2020. The second thing you can do is to get involved, somewhere, somehow because we are in a slow-moving, socialist avalanche and STANDING STILL IS NOT AN OPTION. IT IS SUICIDE!
Our efforts in this regard consist of showing LANDOWNERS how to hold government at bay with several tools and documents. We offer an in depth, comprehensive chronological history of constitutional freedom in our Empowerment Package that your children aren't learning in school. We offer our nationally known 14-year old WEBSITE that is full of the sounds of freedom and chalk full of information you won't find anywhere else, whether rural or urban. We're not standing still.

"Is Today's American Really Capable of Self-Government?"
By Ron Ewart, President
National Association of Rural Landowners
and nationally recognized author on freedom and property rights issues.
We are helping to spread freedom and liberty around the globe.

"America is the only nation in the world based on an idea - freedom and self-government - so if we don't understand that idea and what sacrifices were made to win that freedom and keep it for over two centuries, how can we possibly continue to keep it?" Eric Metaxas, a contemporary American author, speaker, and radio host.
Duty, honor, Country, the creed of the U. S. Soldier, a creed not lost in the Army, but pretty much devoid in the general population. General Douglas MacArthur gave a speech on May 12, 1962 where he described these words where he said:
"These sacred words build your basic character. They mold you for your future roles as the custodians of the nation's defense. They make you strong enough to know when you are weak, and brave enough to face yourself when you are afraid."
"They teach you to be proud and unbending in honest failure, but humble and gentle in success; not to substitute words for action; not to seek the path of comfort, but to face the stress and spur of difficulty and challenge; to learn to stand up in the storm, but to have compassion on those who fall; to master yourself before you seek to master others; to have a heart that is clean, a goal that is high; to learn to laugh, yet never forget how to weep; to reach into the future, yet never neglect the past; to be serious, yet never take yourself too seriously; to be modest so that you will remember the simplicity of true greatness, the open mind of true wisdom, the meekness of true strength."
"They give you a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions, a freshness of the deep springs of life, a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, an appetite for adventure over love of ease. They create in your heart the sense of wonder, the unfailing hope of what next, and the joy and inspiration of life."
The U. S. Marines have a similar creed described by the three words, honor, courage and commitment.
Notice that "honor" is repeated in both creeds. Without putting these words into practice, without honor in individuals and government representatives, self-government won't work.
Instead, Americans have replaced honor, duty, courage, commitment and country with self-gratification, self-absorption, addiction, debauchery and corruption. Millions of Americans have become personally soft, weak and dependent on government. They have rejected self-reliance and individual responsibility. Self-government is the farthest thing from their minds.
There are almost 80 over-lapping government programs that provide cash, food, social services, education, training and housing for low income Americans. Over 73,000,000 Americans are on Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Programs. Over 55,000,000 seniors are on Medicare. Over 40,000,000 are on food stamps. On any given night, well over 500,000 Americans are hopelessly locked in homelessness in one of the wealthiest nations on the planet. The lion's share of homeless Americans survive in the states of Washington, Oregon, California and Nevada. It is of note that all four states are run by Democrats.
Any American that is receiving subsistence from government, in any form, can no longer be a free and impartial voter, owing his or her very existence to government. A person on welfare will not vote for anything that reduces that welfare and in fact will riot in the streets to maintain their largess. A senior citizen on Social Security and Medicare will not vote for any politician or initiative that could or would decrease their benefits. If the government promises and then provides free college tuition to students and then later decides it can no longer afford free college tuition and decides to cut back the programs, campuses across the nation will erupt in violence.
Look at France right now as the government tries to reduce its complicated retirement benefits. To buy the votes of the people, the French government promised too much and now revenues will not cover retirement expenditures. Government has no choice but to reduce those benefits, or raise taxes. The people have taken to the streets in violent protest of the government's action. The trains have stopped and schools have closed.
There is an irrevocable adage that most governments refuse to acknowledge.
"Once government has promised something to the people, government can't take it away without triggering massive protests, even if there is no more money to cover the promise."
But there is another factor that works against self-government. Modern life has become so complicated and the people so divided on issues, Americans either take the easy way out and do nothing, or continue to elect the same people over and over again where the divisions and complications rise and any reasonable or common-sense fix is out of reach. The problems remain and the national deficit and debt goes higher and higher.
Issues like immigration, agriculture, the environment, transportation, trade, infrastructure, health care, education and foreign policy have become so complicated, convoluted and divisive, people just tune out. The people don't know who to believe, or whose telling the truth, or who is lying. Government at any level is the least trustworthy.
Voter turn out is fundamental to a healthy Democracy. And yet in the presidential election of 2016, 58% of eligible voters voted, leaving 42% of eligible voters doing nothing, either due to apathy, ignorance, or indifference. In the mid-term election of 2018 only 49% of eligible voters turned out to vote. What were the other 51% of non-voters doing? Voter turn out in local and state elections is declining, leaving the same elected representatives in perpetual power.
According to recent polls, millennials (23 to 38) are losing interest in patriotism, religion and having children. If the next generation that is going to take over control of our institutions no longer considers patriotism, religion, or having children of any value, the chance to preserve individual freedom becomes less and less likely. Government services then become the only important item in people's lives and centralized government becomes more and more powerful. Much of this shift in values can be placed squarely on Progressives, the public education system, academia and the media. The parents of these millennials are also complicit.
Meanwhile, the tug of war between the two opposing ideologies, liberal and conservative, grows even more vicious and mean such that political power becomes the only end by any means, without regard for what is good for our Constitutional Republic or the American people. This political viciousness is being played out in multiple Congressional events like the Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings and the current impeachment trial of President Trump in the House and Senate.
In short, representative government has become impotent and ineffective and that is primarily because today's American is incapable of, or unwilling to governing themselves through their representatives. One by one, the freedoms we take for granted will be repealed and absorbed into the collective. Local, state and the federal government will continue to invade those freedoms as fewer and fewer Americans object. Eventually, this condition can only lead to civil war, or revolution as those Americans that wish to preserve freedom turn to the last remaining alternative to defend their liberty ..... the gun.
During this interim period as more and more individual freedoms are lost, the people can only hunker down and use what is left of their rights to keep the government at bay. Nevertheless, the end of this perilous journey can only end in final subjugation and enslavement of the people of the United States, unless and until the people decide for themselves that they are capable of self-government, even if it means making the ultimate sacrifice to do it.

"These sacred words build your basic character. They mold you for your future roles as the custodians of the nation's defense. They make you strong enough to know when you are weak, and brave enough to face yourself when you are afraid."
"They teach you to be proud and unbending in honest failure, but humble and gentle in success; not to substitute words for action; not to seek the path of comfort, but to face the stress and spur of difficulty and challenge; to learn to stand up in the storm, but to have compassion on those who fall; to master yourself before you seek to master others; to have a heart that is clean, a goal that is high; to learn to laugh, yet never forget how to weep; to reach into the future, yet never neglect the past; to be serious, yet never take yourself too seriously; to be modest so that you will remember the simplicity of true greatness, the open mind of true wisdom, the meekness of true strength."
"They give you a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions, a freshness of the deep springs of life, a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, an appetite for adventure over love of ease. They create in your heart the sense of wonder, the unfailing hope of what next, and the joy and inspiration of life."
The U. S. Marines have a similar creed described by the three words, honor, courage and commitment.
Notice that "honor" is repeated in both creeds. Without putting these words into practice, without honor in individuals and government representatives, self-government won't work.
Instead, Americans have replaced honor, duty, courage, commitment and country with self-gratification, self-absorption, addiction, debauchery and corruption. Millions of Americans have become personally soft, weak and dependent on government. They have rejected self-reliance and individual responsibility. Self-government is the farthest thing from their minds.
There are almost 80 over-lapping government programs that provide cash, food, social services, education, training and housing for low income Americans. Over 73,000,000 Americans are on Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Programs. Over 55,000,000 seniors are on Medicare. Over 40,000,000 are on food stamps. On any given night, well over 500,000 Americans are hopelessly locked in homelessness in one of the wealthiest nations on the planet. The lion's share of homeless Americans survive in the states of Washington, Oregon, California and Nevada. It is of note that all four states are run by Democrats.
Any American that is receiving subsistence from government, in any form, can no longer be a free and impartial voter, owing his or her very existence to government. A person on welfare will not vote for anything that reduces that welfare and in fact will riot in the streets to maintain their largess. A senior citizen on Social Security and Medicare will not vote for any politician or initiative that could or would decrease their benefits. If the government promises and then provides free college tuition to students and then later decides it can no longer afford free college tuition and decides to cut back the programs, campuses across the nation will erupt in violence.
Look at France right now as the government tries to reduce its complicated retirement benefits. To buy the votes of the people, the French government promised too much and now revenues will not cover retirement expenditures. Government has no choice but to reduce those benefits, or raise taxes. The people have taken to the streets in violent protest of the government's action. The trains have stopped and schools have closed.
There is an irrevocable adage that most governments refuse to acknowledge.
"Once government has promised something to the people, government can't take it away without triggering massive protests, even if there is no more money to cover the promise."
But there is another factor that works against self-government. Modern life has become so complicated and the people so divided on issues, Americans either take the easy way out and do nothing, or continue to elect the same people over and over again where the divisions and complications rise and any reasonable or common-sense fix is out of reach. The problems remain and the national deficit and debt goes higher and higher.
Issues like immigration, agriculture, the environment, transportation, trade, infrastructure, health care, education and foreign policy have become so complicated, convoluted and divisive, people just tune out. The people don't know who to believe, or whose telling the truth, or who is lying. Government at any level is the least trustworthy.
Voter turn out is fundamental to a healthy Democracy. And yet in the presidential election of 2016, 58% of eligible voters voted, leaving 42% of eligible voters doing nothing, either due to apathy, ignorance, or indifference. In the mid-term election of 2018 only 49% of eligible voters turned out to vote. What were the other 51% of non-voters doing? Voter turn out in local and state elections is declining, leaving the same elected representatives in perpetual power.
According to recent polls, millennials (23 to 38) are losing interest in patriotism, religion and having children. If the next generation that is going to take over control of our institutions no longer considers patriotism, religion, or having children of any value, the chance to preserve individual freedom becomes less and less likely. Government services then become the only important item in people's lives and centralized government becomes more and more powerful. Much of this shift in values can be placed squarely on Progressives, the public education system, academia and the media. The parents of these millennials are also complicit.
Meanwhile, the tug of war between the two opposing ideologies, liberal and conservative, grows even more vicious and mean such that political power becomes the only end by any means, without regard for what is good for our Constitutional Republic or the American people. This political viciousness is being played out in multiple Congressional events like the Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings and the current impeachment trial of President Trump in the House and Senate.
In short, representative government has become impotent and ineffective and that is primarily because today's American is incapable of, or unwilling to governing themselves through their representatives. One by one, the freedoms we take for granted will be repealed and absorbed into the collective. Local, state and the federal government will continue to invade those freedoms as fewer and fewer Americans object. Eventually, this condition can only lead to civil war, or revolution as those Americans that wish to preserve freedom turn to the last remaining alternative to defend their liberty ..... the gun.
During this interim period as more and more individual freedoms are lost, the people can only hunker down and use what is left of their rights to keep the government at bay. Nevertheless, the end of this perilous journey can only end in final subjugation and enslavement of the people of the United States, unless and until the people decide for themselves that they are capable of self-government, even if it means making the ultimate sacrifice to do it.

"Your Children Are Listening and Imitating What You Do!"

"Children have never been very good at listening to their elders but they never fail to imitate them."
James Baldwin
Most parents want the best for their children. They want them to grow up to be proud, strong individuals, capable of meeting most, if not all, of life's challenges. They want their children to be good parents to their offspring, as well. Any of these desires depends almost entirely on what goes on at home and on the quantity and quality of both education and experience while they are growing up. But the hard truth is, children are like sponges and they soak up the environment in which they live, in most cases, mirroring their parents. They start filling up the "Little Black Box" of their brain from the day they are born.
If their parents are slovenly and lazy, children have a very high percentage of turning out slovenly and lazy. If parents are industrious, creative, responsible and self-reliant, their children are quite likely to take on these qualities. If their parents are involved in the community, children have a greater chance of also being involved. If the parents take an interest in and are a part of the political process, that experience will rub off on their children. But if the parents are apathetic and indifferent, their children will learn apathy and indifference.
Of course there are exceptions to the general rule. Some children turn out well in spite of bad parenting and some others fall through the cracks and go bad from good parenting. Unfortunately, there are no guarantees and the books instructing parents on how to be good parents are just about as effective as instruction books for operating a computer. There is no substitute for experience and intuition.
Parents send their children to government-run schools but don't constantly check and measure the quality of that education. They don't peek into the process and determine if the process is a learning experience in truth, or one filled with propaganda and indoctrination. Unfortunately, propaganda and indoctrination is what their children are receiving in our schools and colleges today and very little is being done about it. (See: "Get Progressive Educated Idiots Out Of Education")
Part of parenting is knowing life's dangers that can harm their children before they are ready. Parents would not let their young children play near a cliff for the obvious reason that in the children's exuberance, they could easily slip and fall over the cliff. Parents who allow their children to own computers with Internet connections had better be aware of the kind of information their children are viewing. The dangers from inadequately monitoring what their child see on the computer can be just as damaging as falling off a cliff. The dangers for boys are different than the dangers for girls and a parent needs to know the difference to adequately teach and at the same time, protect them.
Parents focus on their family, jobs and home, but fail to look out at the horizon and learn of the other dangers that could harm their children. Evil permeates the world and it is up to the parents to teach their children of those evils and of the dangers. One of those significant evils is the often-ignored attack on freedom.
There was a movie made a while back called the White Squall. It was a true story of a summer sailing class, where parents sent their boys approaching adult hood, into a hands-on sailing experience at sea. The ship met up with a freak of nature, a white squall. It sank in heavy seas and several boys were lost, including the captain's wife. The captain was brought up on charges of negligence and dereliction of duty before the admiralty and would have lost his captain's ticket if not for the surviving boys sticking up for him.
No matter how hard we try, we cannot save our children from every danger that faces them. We can only hope that the survivors use the bad experience as a learning experience. Again, there are no guarantees.
So for what do you stand? If you stand for right over wrong, your children will do the same. If you stand for good and show it, your children will stand with you. If you stand for principle over selfish gain or political expediency, your children will follow you. If you have courage and show it, your children will mirror that courage.
Should you fail to teach your children life's lessons, they will fail in life. If you fail to teach them responsibility, they will become irresponsible. If you fail to teach them self-reliance, they will learn dependency instead. If you do not vigorously defend freedom, your children will not defend freedom either and freedom will be lost.
The gift we give to our children is who we are. If we stand for and practice love, goodness, honor, respect, truth, self-reliance and defend liberty, so will they. Our children are our most precious resource. They learn by example. We have a solemn duty to guide them judiciously to adulthood, or the next generation will pay the consequences and they will end up standing for all the wrong things. They will end up standing for what we are or were!
Ladies and gentlemen, why is it we, in America, continue to stray from the lessons that the natural order teaches us. Have you ever watched a couple of cubs (dogs, cats, bears, lions, tigers, etc.) play rough and tumble? Do you think they are doing it for fun? Hardly! They are learning the lessons of life and survival and building up the strength of their bodies and their brains through play. It's deadly serious business. Somehow, because people believe we are above the animals and don't have to play by nature's rules, we remove, inhibit, protect, or shield our kids from the struggles of life that would ordinarily prepare them for meeting those struggles.
We, as a culture, have decided to level the playing field and shield our kids (the liberal/progressive mantra) when the reality is, you cannot level the playing field, or the natural order, by legislation or education, you can only pervert it. Adversity breeds strength. But instead of allowing adversity to work its wonders, we protect our kids from germs. We protect them from injury and suffering. We protect them from bullies. We protect them from insults. We in fact, mollycoddle them and by that we make them weak and unable to compete in a rough and tumble world. We become by practice and controlled behavior, a genetic mutation, not field-tested for survival.
But it goes even further than this. Government, in order to garner political loyalty and votes to increase their power, protects our adults in much the same manner as we protect our kids, with safety nets, welfare, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, farm subsidies, college loans, school lunches and God knows what else. None of these actions by government appear in the Constitution. We have become and are becoming more so, a weakened nation, almost wholly dependent on government. Even worse than that, we are breaking the back of the most creative, productive, industrious and generous society that ever graced planet earth and sucking the lifeblood of commerce and industry from its grasp, by having to pay for all this mollycoddling.
So let us pose a question:
"How many, poor, helpless, indigent, disabled, free-loaders, ne'r-do-wells and mollycoddled (subsidized) kids and adults can America afford?"
It has been estimated that over 40,000,000 Americans are now on food stamps, almost 12% of the total population. As this big lump of the un-employed, non-producers and free-loaders grows and it is growing, it slowly but surely sucks the financial life out of the gross domestic product (GDP), until it reaches a point where the GDP and the taxes paid from it, can no longer pay the bill and the system collapses when the government can tax no more without causing a revolution. (i.e. Greece)
As we stated earlier, adversity builds strength. A government filled "pig trough" breeds weakness and dependency. America got its start on the greatest kind of adversity, first taming the wilderness and then the Revolution. Pioneers that settled the west were tough and resilient. Some got sick and some died, but many got stronger from the experience and from those families came a kind of American that built things and won wars. We're not seeing that toughness and resilience in too many Americans today. We've grown soft, self-absorbed and overly indulgent. It could be America's downfall.
We have also become a permissive society where kids get away with bullying others and a whole host of other misdeeds because they have no fear of any consequences. When confronted by authority, like a teacher or school principal, the kid just says, "... you can't touch me or my parents will sue your pants off." Unfortunately, parents sue schools all the time for these very reasons and the school authorities are hogged tied to administer any discipline as a result. Many states are now forbidding suspension or expulsion for kids who behave badly. How can you run a school of kids without discipline? You can't! What do you get instead, kids acting out without consequences and a degradation of the learning experience?
Parents, busy with working and paying for a two-working person lifestyle, don't have time to administer any quality time or discipline to their kids for getting out of hand or misbehaving. We've done away with the paddle or spankings because that is too hard on the kid's self esteem, or so the highly educated experts tell us. And let us not fail any kid in school for fear of damaging his little delicate id. God forbid! No, let's just pass them on to society as a failure and let society deal with them. So what does society (government) do? They give the now young adult, money for doing nothing!
One of nature's inviolate rules is that there are consequences for bad or careless behavior. Sometimes the consequences can result in death. But oh no, we don't teach that lesson to our kids. If we punish them they won't like themselves any more and might just do them selves harm, or worse, commit suicide. If you let adults or kids do as they please without consequences for doing as they please, a civil society will eventually break down into chaos and anarchy and ladies and gentlemen, that is where we are headed.
Because of mindless psychological mumbo jumbo, coming out of the educated idiots that are spit out of our liberal colleges like so much cord wood, we have discarded common sense and time-tested methods that have worked for generations, in favor of complex, soft-ball solutions to fairly simple problems that are based on some wild-eyed theory of an over-paid, tenured academic, who never worked at a real job in his entire life. This ridiculous condition seriously violates Occam's Razor Principle wherein:
* "The simplest explanation for some phenomenon is more likely to be accurate than more complicated explanations."
On no, we can't keep things simple. We have to complicate the hell out of them. It is obvious that "man" has the propensity, if not the compulsion to complicate and/or mismanage almost everything he touches, especially if those "men" (and/or women) are part of the government, or academia.
In a western song there is a line that we remember whenever we think about the behavior of kids and adults today. The line goes like this: "you surround yourself with people who demand so little of you." The line defines how far we have allowed our common decency standards to sink into the cesspool of debauchery, excessive drug use, crime, cheating, constant swearing, licentiousness and corruption? You see it everywhere on TV, at the movies, on the Internet, in e-mails, on the playfield, at sports games and even driving on our roads. The bar of acceptable behavior keeps getting lower and lower.
This, my fellow Americans, is a recipe for civil, cultural and spiritual collapse.

"The 13 Colonies Started Freedom. Now They're Destroying It!"
from "In Defense of Rural America"
By Ron Ewart, President of the
National Association of Rural Landowners
and nationally recognized author and speaker on freedom and property rights issues
Copyright Sunday, December 29, 2019 - All Rights Reserved
Long before the "Shot Heard Round the World" at Lexington and Concord in April of 1775, the new world rose from about 2,000 inhabitants in 1620, to 250,000 by 1770 and 2.4 million by 1775. Most came from the many countries of Europe but some came from as far away as Russia. It has been said that the first American baby was born in Roanoke, VA way back in 1578, 42 years before the landing at Plymouth Rock. That first baby was allegedly named Virginia Dare.
They came for religious reasons (the Puritans), or they came for free land, or they came for commerce and trade. It was a hard life and they paid a huge price. Over half of the people that landed at Plymouth Rock in 1620 died in the first year due to the harsh winter.
But these were British colonies ruled by the British Crown. In conflict with the British, France lay claim to much of the Ohio River Valley and most of South Eastern Canada. The British took exception to France's claim. This led to the French Indian War (or Seven Years War) that covered most of New England, Pennsylvania, New York and parts of South Eastern Canada. The British cost of that war was huge and so the British decided that the Colonials should pay for it. This led to the Stamp Act of 1765. The Stamp Act required that many printed materials in the colonies had to be produced on stamped paper manufactured in London, a huge inconvenience and a significant cost.
The taxes and laws that Britain imposed on the colonies were voluminous. From 1651 to 1774, Britain passed huge numbers of acts and taxes on the Colonials. This included the Stamp Act of 1765 and the Tea Act of 1773, which led to the Boston Tea Party, a protest by Samuel Adams and the Sons of Liberty where 342 chests of Tea were dumped into the sea in direct defiance of British rule.
In 1765 the British passed the Quartering Act. This law required that the colonists needed to find or pay for lodging of British soldiers, or put the soldiers up in their homes.
For many decades the heavy hand of the British hammer came down on the colonials and they finally had enough. The Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776 and the Revolutionary War began against the tyranny of the English Crown. The rest is history.
What has happened to the 13 colonies since the Revolutionary War is a testament to what can happen when people are stacked upon each other in high dense urban cities ..... socialism and corruption.
Thomas Jefferson even said around 1800, "When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe."
At the start of this great country, around 1776, there might have been 3 million inhabitants of the Continental United States, mostly concentrated along the East Coast in the original thirteen colonies, not including the native population. Now at 327,000,000, we are more than 100 times that 3,000,000. The highest density of population per square mile in big cities occurs on the East Coast in most of the original 13 colonies. The District of Columbia's (Washington DC) density per square mile is 9.5 times higher than the most populated state, New Jersey. Perhaps this fact alone explains why America has become a powerful centralized government, instead of a nation of states and why the Democrats want to repeal the Electoral College.
The space between inhabitants in the late 1700's was fairly significant. News was printed and sometimes took days, weeks, or even months to reach the far outreaches of the Republic. The country was mostly agrarian, as the industrial revolution and the corresponding rush to big cities had not yet begun. After the revolution secured America's freedom, Americans took up the task of living as free individuals with the freedom of space to insulate them from the vagaries of abnormal human behavior. Americans were spread out, productive, creative, industrious, generous and mostly civil, the Hatfield and McCoys not withstanding. There was no government assistance available and yet they survived.
But agrarian living was sometimes sparse and did not provide predictable income. Weather, pestilence and erratic markets added to that unpredictability. Soon, new sources of power, like the steam engine, brought us the industrial revolution. As industries started sprouting up around big cities that provided the labor to keep those industries thriving and alive, people started moving off of the farms and headed for the big cities, where jobs were available and eking out a living was not quite as problematic. But for all actions, there are usually unintended consequences and such it was as city populations grew.
Sometimes the jobs would dry up as the industrial revolution evolved and technology, markets and fortunes ebbed and flowed. Sometimes large segments of the city populations would be out of work when a large manufacturer closed down. The Great Depression came along in the late 1920's and large percentages of city populations could not find a job. City folk had no way to produce the food, clothing and shelter they needed to survive. In contrast, their country cousins could grow what they needed, had a roof over their heads and could live off of the land, no matter how primitive it might be. If they had a little extra, they would help out their neighbors, who by circumstances may have been a little less well off. Civility and mutual respect were the rural landowner's creed and still is for the most part today.
Not so in big cities. The fact is, a hungry belly has nothing to lose by petitioning (or protesting) their government for a handout and civility is the last thing on their minds. If people are hungry enough, they have nothing to lose by resorting to violence. They either turn to crime or the government. The government was all-too-willing to provide that assistance in return for votes and thus socialism was born and socialism is where we are today, no matter what you hear to the contrary. Way too many people live in big cities and are incapable of helping themselves when times get tough. Hurricane Katrina at New Orleans showed us that in spades. Government thrives and grows on big-city dependency.
The behavior of individuals living tightly in big cities produces its own share of problems. High crime rates and noise, air, water and human waste pollution are just a few of the consequences. Big cities require large police forces to enforce laws and civility. Big cities dump their concentrated pollution on the environment but then demand that everyone else comply with environmental regulations. Even so, many big cities are out of control, like Chicago and Baltimore. The police are unable to contain the rising guns, drugs, gangs and violence.
The other consequence of high-dense urban living is the steady lowering of the bar of civility, respect and trust. Human behavior changes under the conditions of living closer together. It does so because of a basic human fact. No matter what the government, socialists, psychologists, or the environmentalists will tell you, people like and need "their" space and the space does not come in a 1,000 sq. ft. apartment in a 25-story building, surrounded by concrete on all sides, in a big city.
Suburbs became a partial answer to the human need for space. But then the suburbs began to increase in density as governments got into the act of "planning" where we live and work. Environmentalists came along and lobbied the government planners to stop suburban expansion because it took up too much land that animals needed to survive.
History has shown us that people don't behave well when crammed together in big cities. Big cities are bastions of socialism, dependency and government control. Big cities, with their majorities, control the legislative process and give us legislators that support socialism, more laws and environmental extremism. The people who inhabit big cities are more apt to believe whatever the government tells them and act like mindless lemmings. The current propaganda and mass hysteria of man-caused global warming is a prime example. Yes, big cities are large markets of consumers and bring us commerce that helps to fund the country. But we wonder if the price is worth it.
There is now a determined social justice and environmental protection agenda by American policy makers to cram more people into large cities. Liberal, over-educated, government-paid planners spend all of their time drafting plans, acts, laws, rules, restrictions, regulations and ordinances to direct the movement of populations ever tighter into big cities. Draconian environmental protection laws are purposely designed to drive more people out of the rural areas and force them into big cities. The rural areas are to be protected from humans at all costs, without regard to constitutional protections or the rights of rural landowners.
This purposeful design was first created in a 1992 United Nations policy paper entitled, Agenda 21. It was then codified into American law by presidential executive orders, without a treaty being ratified. This socialist policy now permeates every level of government and is taught in our K-12 public schools and our very liberal colleges. Government sanctifies this policy with soft sounding names like "Social Equity", "Smart Growth", "Sustainable Development", "Endangered Species", "Conservation", "Biospheres", "Wildlife Corridors" and "Wilderness Protection". One of the motives for all of this propaganda is to drive more people into big cities, where government can more easily control large urban populations.
Big government loves big cities, as they feed off of the occupants' dependency and big-city voters continue to re-elect the handout providers. But big government doesn't give one whit about civility. If the population gets more uncivil, government just adds police to bring the people into compliance and increases taxes to pay for it all. In the case of the black ghettos on the south side of Chicago, the authorities mostly just let the inhabitants kill each other.
Big cities encourage the growth of corruption. As a result, government gets bigger, more corrupt and more powerful every day. The institutionalized corruption of big cities produce people like Bill and Hillary Clinton, Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills, Anthony Weiner, John Edwards, Eric Holder, Janet Napolitano and a whole host of Congressmen and Senators. In the end civility, respect, trust, honor, integrity, honesty and freedom lose and corruption and avarice takes their place.
Unfortunately, this socialist mindset that exists in big cities controls the voting and electoral processes. The "Blue" states are "Blue" because of that "Blue" big city socialist mindset. Most of the big cities are concentrated east of the Mississippi River and that is why the presidential candidates concentrate their campaigning in the so-called battle ground states. The Western States might just as well not exist, except maybe socialist California with its 55 Electoral Votes. (See "America's Night Light Pollution")
The truth is that big cities are hazardous to your health as well as freedom, but the Democrats don't care. They maintain their perpetual power from the socialist, government-dependent big-city vote. As big cities become ever more dense, the political power of conservatives will be eroded into extinction, if it hasn't been already.
In 2019 Virginia, one of the 13 Colonies has now been taken over by the Democrats. They control the executive and legislative branches of government. With their newfound power they have decided to shove massive gun control legislation down the throats of Virginians. Rural Virginians are resisting the Democrats, just like the Colonials did to British rule. Sanctuary gun cities and counties are springing up all over Virginia. The Democrats will have none of that and have threatened to call out the National Guard to take guns away from Virginians. The fight is heating up and the full story has yet to be told, but the story could end up in a Virginia civil war.
The 13 colonies gave birth to freedom and they are now killing it because of big cities. What has happened to the 13 colonies is now happening to other states like California, Oregon, Washington and Illinois. Big cities are and will be the death knell of freedom in America.

They came for religious reasons (the Puritans), or they came for free land, or they came for commerce and trade. It was a hard life and they paid a huge price. Over half of the people that landed at Plymouth Rock in 1620 died in the first year due to the harsh winter.
But these were British colonies ruled by the British Crown. In conflict with the British, France lay claim to much of the Ohio River Valley and most of South Eastern Canada. The British took exception to France's claim. This led to the French Indian War (or Seven Years War) that covered most of New England, Pennsylvania, New York and parts of South Eastern Canada. The British cost of that war was huge and so the British decided that the Colonials should pay for it. This led to the Stamp Act of 1765. The Stamp Act required that many printed materials in the colonies had to be produced on stamped paper manufactured in London, a huge inconvenience and a significant cost.
The taxes and laws that Britain imposed on the colonies were voluminous. From 1651 to 1774, Britain passed huge numbers of acts and taxes on the Colonials. This included the Stamp Act of 1765 and the Tea Act of 1773, which led to the Boston Tea Party, a protest by Samuel Adams and the Sons of Liberty where 342 chests of Tea were dumped into the sea in direct defiance of British rule.
In 1765 the British passed the Quartering Act. This law required that the colonists needed to find or pay for lodging of British soldiers, or put the soldiers up in their homes.
For many decades the heavy hand of the British hammer came down on the colonials and they finally had enough. The Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776 and the Revolutionary War began against the tyranny of the English Crown. The rest is history.
What has happened to the 13 colonies since the Revolutionary War is a testament to what can happen when people are stacked upon each other in high dense urban cities ..... socialism and corruption.
Thomas Jefferson even said around 1800, "When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe."
At the start of this great country, around 1776, there might have been 3 million inhabitants of the Continental United States, mostly concentrated along the East Coast in the original thirteen colonies, not including the native population. Now at 327,000,000, we are more than 100 times that 3,000,000. The highest density of population per square mile in big cities occurs on the East Coast in most of the original 13 colonies. The District of Columbia's (Washington DC) density per square mile is 9.5 times higher than the most populated state, New Jersey. Perhaps this fact alone explains why America has become a powerful centralized government, instead of a nation of states and why the Democrats want to repeal the Electoral College.

"Get Progressive Educated Idiots Out of Education!"

"Ideally, what should be said to every child, repeatedly, throughout his or her school life is something like this: 'You are in the process of being indoctrinated. We have not yet evolved a system of education that is not a system of indoctrination. We are sorry, but it is the best we can do. What you are being taught here is an amalgam of current prejudice and the choices of this particular culture. The slightest look at history will show how impermanent these must be. You are being taught by people who have been able to accommodate themselves to a regime of thought laid down by their predecessors. It is a self-perpetuating system. Those of you who are more robust and individual than others will be encouraged to leave and find ways of educating yourself — educating your own judgments. Those that stay must remember, always, and all the time, that they are being molded and patterned to fit into the narrow and particular needs of this particular society."
Doris Lessing, from 'The Golden Notebook'
"This particular American society" is one that is driven, molded and manipulated by Progressive ideologies that have been embedded in all of our institutions, public and private, over the last one hundred years or more.
Unfortunately, the current self-perpetuating system in America and even in most Westernized countries, is Progressivism, which is just another form of collective socialism. It is a flawed, bankrupt system that emphasizes the collective and de-emphasizes the individual, the former being the very antithesis of the foundation of American freedom. Becoming an educator is a process of being indoctrinated in this current self-perpetuating system.
Just how many educated idiots can a free society tolerate before they "think" us into slavery, or government compliant robots? Colleges are pumping out so-called educated individuals to be assimilated by society in a whole host of different disciplines; scientists, mathematicians, doctors, dentists, psychiatrists, psychologists, engineers, political scientists, educators, teachers, administrators, lawyers and God knows what else. Some of these disciplines actually produce individuals who accomplish something good and productive for society. But many do not. Many suck up tax dollars for studies and research on nefarious issues, with no redeeming or useful purpose.
Now given the fact that just about every college in America and the professors that teach at those colleges, come equipped with a significant liberal bias, it isn't difficult to conclude that the students being run through the college mill will most likely come out of those colleges with a significant liberal bias of their own.
One of the methods in which to propagate an idea across an entire culture is to teach the "idea" to school age children. Many dictators, socialists and communists were and are well aware of this method of brainwashing the masses to keep them under control, without the use of physical force. Unfortunately, the United States Government has succumbed to this method as well, by literally taking over and dictating the curriculum of our public school system through the U. S. Department of Education, run by, you guessed it, educated idiots.
There are many private organizations that engage in education and attempt to influence educational outcomes. One of those organizations is the Center for Civic Education (CCE). We decided to dig deeper into who runs the CCE organization. What, if any, are their biases or leanings? What we found was even more alarming than we thought.
First, CCE is the brainchild of the California State Bar Association. Out of 28 members of the Board of Directors, ten were attorneys or judges, nine were educators and five we were unable to determine their profession or their bias. One educator was a past member of the Council on Foreign Relations, one was an environmental attorney and one was a former head of the Immigration and Naturalization Service who eventually became a director of Human Rights First. Three Board members had decided Latino leanings. Most, if not all of them are from the "left" coast state of California and from the Progressives side of politics. Anyone who is paying attention knows exactly where the once-beautiful State of California is going ..... a socialist garbage dump.
But there is more disturbing information about who provides council to CCE. We checked out the National Advisory Committee and low and behold we found another cadre of individuals and politicians whose political affiliations fall on the left side of the aisle. The nearest thing we could find to a conservative in the group was Senator Orin Hatch of Utah. But the usual suspects were there. Senator Diane Feinstein CA, Senator Edward Kennedy MA (deceased), Senator Patty Murray WA and a whole gaggle of other liberal types to round out the mix.
We dug into the group and people that funded the National Standards on History program, mandated by the Federal Government. What we found substantiated what we have suspected all along. A condition wherein high-paid, over-educated idiots get together in a room and by consensus come up with a plan or program that fits the socialist bias of the group and those who fund the group. In researching some of these foundations that provide funds we found the conditions for their grants included a one-world-order, liberal view for most subjects. Multiculturalism was a main them. (Multi-culturalism is how you divide and set in conflict a nation's culture.) Three of those funding organizations are the Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Ford Foundation and the Spencer Foundation. Check them out on Google and read their mission statements.
The net result of all these educated idiots coming together and planning our future and the future of our children is "painted" by issues that do not include American sovereignty, American freedom, American liberty, American property rights, American capitalism, or American free markets, much less a true representation of our U. S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. However, what are included are European and United Nations style socialism, multiculturalism and radical environmentalism. Perhaps that is why these so-called educators teach our form of government, as a "Constitutional Democracy" instead of what it truly is, a "Constitutional Republic". The distinctions between the two are considerable.
Again, it must be remembered that all these folks that engage in education in one form or another, from planners, teachers and administrators, are products of the liberal colleges that dominate America's higher education. The result is predictable.
COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS
We also investigated Common Core State Standards that have now been instituted in 40 states. It became abundantly evident that the standards were not a state effort, but a pure federal effort led by liberal globalists. The Standards had the United Nations written all over them.
Previous to writing the article we were not privy to any specific Common Core teaching document. However, one of our long-time members e-mailed us a PDF copy of the Common Core Mathematics teaching document for Grades 3 thru 5. We started reading the document, looking for how they were going to teach math. To our disgust, we found it wasn't about math at all, it was about "equity" and "social justice." Have you heard these terms before? You bet you have and they didn't come out of the U. S. Constitution. You can read this document on our website at: http://www.narlo.org/ccssmath.pdf.
Here are a few excerpts from the document:
"All students are entitled to quality instruction within an equitable learning environment, designed to meet their specific learning needs."
What stood out from this sentence was "..... an equitable learning environment". We wondered, "what does that mean?" Reading further it became clear what it meant and it had nothing to do with math.
The document explained further:
"Promoting and supporting equitable practices for students is a complex process and is best supported when your collaborative team examines several factors. The National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics' (2008) position statement on equity recommends that mathematics educators:"
• "Respond to equity as a meaningful process to address social justice issues of race, language, gender, and class bias." (No math here)
• "Embrace a mindset shift from a student deficit perspective of equity to a focus on creating opportunities for equal access to meaningful mathematics." (No math here)
• "Recognize underachievement not as a result of group membership but more likely a symptom of varying beliefs, opportunities, and experiences to learn mathematics." (No math here)
This so-called mathematics-teaching document finished with:
"Recognizing and responding to these important facets of equity will promote the rich conversations needed in your collaborative team to promote high-quality instruction and equitable classrooms. Use the following discussion questions in your collaborative team to facilitate the conversation."
So then we decided to look into the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM). We started with their mission statement, which reads:
"NCSM envisions a professional and diverse learning community of educational leaders that ensures every student in every classroom has access to effective mathematics teachers, relevant curricula, culturally responsive pedagogy, and current technology." (Source: http://www.mathedleadership.org/about/mission.html)
One of the items contained in the mission statement was the liberal theme of "equity".
"Motivate mathematics leaders to maintain a life-long commitment to provide EQUITY and access for all learners"
We had to look up "pedagogy" as it was a totally unfamiliar term. From one source we found:
"Modern pedagogy has been strongly influenced by the cognitivism of Piaget, 1926, 1936/1975; the social-interactionist theories of Bruner, 1960, 1966, 1971, 1986; and the social and cultural theories of Vygotsky, 1962. These theorists have laid a foundation for pedagogy where sequential development of individual mental processes, such as recognize, recall, analyze, reflect, apply, create, understand, and evaluate, are scaffolded. Students learn as they internalize the procedures, organization, and structures encountered in social contexts as their own schema." (And you wonder why are kids are so mixed up?)
The words that caught our eye in the above mission statement and the definition of "pedagogy" are "social interactionist theories", "social and cultural theories", "social contexts" and "equity." The words "social" and "equity" are recurrent themes in everything we read about Common Core State Standards. These words come right out of United Nations policies, parroted by liberals and you won't find them in the U. S. Constitution either.
Ladies and gentlemen, this Common Core Mathematics document for 3rd to 5th grades is not a teaching mathematics document it is, without a doubt, a "social" and "equity" indoctrination document. The emphasis is not on teaching mathematics it is about teaching in an acceptable "social" and "equitable" environment.
In the new American, liberal world, everything is judged by how "fair" and "equitable" are policies regarding humans and human interactions. This is all part of the United Nations Social Justice and Environmental Equity policies that are included in Agenda 21. There is no mention of unalienable rights, individual freedom, self-reliance and responsibility. There is no mention of opportunities and competition. The new, liberal world is where the government molly coddles minorities and labels them as victims requiring subsidies, welfare and special treatment. But the government gets something in return ..... votes. God help a minority that might have to compete in the real world.
This social crap that is being inflicted on productive Americans and the public education system by government legislation and rule making, at all levels, is why cities like Detroit (and states) are going, or have gone broke. There is a direct correlation between government-funded, Democrat-sponsored, union-approved social policies and government bankruptcy. Every jurisdiction that is going broke has been run by Democrats for decades, voted into office by dead beats and free loaders who want something for nothing from government instead of being self-reliant, independent and personally responsible.
So once again ladies and gentlemen we warn, "Get Educated Idiots Out Of Education!" If parents don't care what their kids are being taught, then there is no hope for a free America. One day, without any warning, your kids will come home from school and you won't recognize them any more because they will have become "America's Brainwashed Youth", fully indoctrinated with the United Nations, liberal, globalist and Common Core State Standards and they will endorse socialism with open arms. Sadly, they have already.
Should the educated idiots from our liberal colleges, and our corrupt politicians, continue to rule education, politics and policies, America's days of freedom are numbered. The socialist indoctrination of the next leaders of America will be complete.
This article is an amalgamation of two previous articles we have written on this subject.

We decided to dig deeper into who runs the CCE organization. What, if any, are their biases or leanings? What we found was even more alarming than we thought.
First, CCE is the brainchild of the California State Bar Association. Out of 28 members of the Board of Directors, ten were attorneys or judges, nine were educators and five we were unable to determine their profession or their bias. One educator was a past member of the Council on Foreign Relations, one was an environmental attorney and one was a former head of the Immigration and Naturalization Service who eventually became a director of Human Rights First. Three Board members had decided Latino leanings. Most, if not all of them are from the "left" coast state of California and from the Progressives side of politics. Anyone who is paying attention knows exactly where the once-beautiful State of California is going ..... a socialist garbage dump.
But there is more disturbing information about who provides council to CCE. We checked out the National Advisory Committee and low and behold we found another cadre of individuals and politicians whose political affiliations fall on the left side of the aisle. The nearest thing we could find to a conservative in the group was Senator Orin Hatch of Utah. But the usual suspects were there. Senator Diane Feinstein CA, Senator Edward Kennedy MA (deceased), Senator Patty Murray WA and a whole gaggle of other liberal types to round out the mix.
We dug into the group and people that funded the National Standards on History program, mandated by the Federal Government. What we found substantiated what we have suspected all along. A condition wherein high-paid, over-educated idiots get together in a room and by consensus come up with a plan or program that fits the socialist bias of the group and those who fund the group. In researching some of these foundations that provide funds we found the conditions for their grants included a one-world-order, liberal view for most subjects. Multiculturalism was a main them. (Multi-culturalism is how you divide and set in conflict a nation's culture.) Three of those funding organizations are the Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Ford Foundation and the Spencer Foundation. Check them out on Google and read their mission statements.
The net result of all these educated idiots coming together and planning our future and the future of our children is "painted" by issues that do not include American sovereignty, American freedom, American liberty, American property rights, American capitalism, or American free markets, much less a true representation of our U. S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. However, what are included are European and United Nations style socialism, multiculturalism and radical environmentalism. Perhaps that is why these so-called educators teach our form of government, as a "Constitutional Democracy" instead of what it truly is, a "Constitutional Republic". The distinctions between the two are considerable.
Again, it must be remembered that all these folks that engage in education in one form or another, from planners, teachers and administrators, are products of the liberal colleges that dominate America's higher education. The result is predictable.
COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS
We also investigated Common Core State Standards that have now been instituted in 40 states. It became abundantly evident that the standards were not a state effort, but a pure federal effort led by liberal globalists. The Standards had the United Nations written all over them.
Previous to writing the article we were not privy to any specific Common Core teaching document. However, one of our long-time members e-mailed us a PDF copy of the Common Core Mathematics teaching document for Grades 3 thru 5. We started reading the document, looking for how they were going to teach math. To our disgust, we found it wasn't about math at all, it was about "equity" and "social justice." Have you heard these terms before? You bet you have and they didn't come out of the U. S. Constitution. You can read this document on our website at: http://www.narlo.org/ccssmath.pdf.
Here are a few excerpts from the document:
"All students are entitled to quality instruction within an equitable learning environment, designed to meet their specific learning needs."
What stood out from this sentence was "..... an equitable learning environment". We wondered, "what does that mean?" Reading further it became clear what it meant and it had nothing to do with math.
The document explained further:
"Promoting and supporting equitable practices for students is a complex process and is best supported when your collaborative team examines several factors. The National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics' (2008) position statement on equity recommends that mathematics educators:"
• "Respond to equity as a meaningful process to address social justice issues of race, language, gender, and class bias." (No math here)
• "Embrace a mindset shift from a student deficit perspective of equity to a focus on creating opportunities for equal access to meaningful mathematics." (No math here)
• "Recognize underachievement not as a result of group membership but more likely a symptom of varying beliefs, opportunities, and experiences to learn mathematics." (No math here)
This so-called mathematics-teaching document finished with:
"Recognizing and responding to these important facets of equity will promote the rich conversations needed in your collaborative team to promote high-quality instruction and equitable classrooms. Use the following discussion questions in your collaborative team to facilitate the conversation."
So then we decided to look into the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM). We started with their mission statement, which reads:
"NCSM envisions a professional and diverse learning community of educational leaders that ensures every student in every classroom has access to effective mathematics teachers, relevant curricula, culturally responsive pedagogy, and current technology." (Source: http://www.mathedleadership.org/about/mission.html)
One of the items contained in the mission statement was the liberal theme of "equity".
"Motivate mathematics leaders to maintain a life-long commitment to provide EQUITY and access for all learners"
We had to look up "pedagogy" as it was a totally unfamiliar term. From one source we found:
"Modern pedagogy has been strongly influenced by the cognitivism of Piaget, 1926, 1936/1975; the social-interactionist theories of Bruner, 1960, 1966, 1971, 1986; and the social and cultural theories of Vygotsky, 1962. These theorists have laid a foundation for pedagogy where sequential development of individual mental processes, such as recognize, recall, analyze, reflect, apply, create, understand, and evaluate, are scaffolded. Students learn as they internalize the procedures, organization, and structures encountered in social contexts as their own schema." (And you wonder why are kids are so mixed up?)
The words that caught our eye in the above mission statement and the definition of "pedagogy" are "social interactionist theories", "social and cultural theories", "social contexts" and "equity." The words "social" and "equity" are recurrent themes in everything we read about Common Core State Standards. These words come right out of United Nations policies, parroted by liberals and you won't find them in the U. S. Constitution either.
Ladies and gentlemen, this Common Core Mathematics document for 3rd to 5th grades is not a teaching mathematics document it is, without a doubt, a "social" and "equity" indoctrination document. The emphasis is not on teaching mathematics it is about teaching in an acceptable "social" and "equitable" environment.
In the new American, liberal world, everything is judged by how "fair" and "equitable" are policies regarding humans and human interactions. This is all part of the United Nations Social Justice and Environmental Equity policies that are included in Agenda 21. There is no mention of unalienable rights, individual freedom, self-reliance and responsibility. There is no mention of opportunities and competition. The new, liberal world is where the government molly coddles minorities and labels them as victims requiring subsidies, welfare and special treatment. But the government gets something in return ..... votes. God help a minority that might have to compete in the real world.
This social crap that is being inflicted on productive Americans and the public education system by government legislation and rule making, at all levels, is why cities like Detroit (and states) are going, or have gone broke. There is a direct correlation between government-funded, Democrat-sponsored, union-approved social policies and government bankruptcy. Every jurisdiction that is going broke has been run by Democrats for decades, voted into office by dead beats and free loaders who want something for nothing from government instead of being self-reliant, independent and personally responsible.
So once again ladies and gentlemen we warn, "Get Educated Idiots Out Of Education!" If parents don't care what their kids are being taught, then there is no hope for a free America. One day, without any warning, your kids will come home from school and you won't recognize them any more because they will have become "America's Brainwashed Youth", fully indoctrinated with the United Nations, liberal, globalist and Common Core State Standards and they will endorse socialism with open arms. Sadly, they have already.
Should the educated idiots from our liberal colleges, and our corrupt politicians, continue to rule education, politics and policies, America's days of freedom are numbered. The socialist indoctrination of the next leaders of America will be complete.
This article is an amalgamation of two previous articles we have written on this subject.

"Americans Are Suckers And Led Around By The Nose!"
from "In Defense of Rural America"
By Ron Ewart, President of the
National Association of Rural Landowners
and nationally recognized author and speaker on freedom and property rights issues

"Why don't they pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as well as [Congress] does, in five years Americans would be the [dumbest] race of people on the earth."
A slight modification to a Will Rogers quote
"The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the people's money." Alexis de Tocqueville, French diplomat, scientist and historian (1805 - 1859)
The Congress discovered it could bribe the public at the beginning of the Great Depression, a devastating national calamity brought about by the Federal Reserve. On November 8, 2002, Ben Bernanke, at a speech given in honor of economist Milton Friedman's 90th birthday and prior to Bernanke becoming the Federal Reserve Chair in 2006, admitted that "Regarding the Great Depression, .... We did it. We're very sorry. We won't do it again." No, he wasn't joking.
It was a private financial entity with virtually unlimited power, the Federal Reserve, created by an act of Congressional Democrats in 1913 under the 16th Amendment that triggered a man-made, American financial disaster. Many pundits will say that there were other causes and there were, but Federal Reserve policy was the trigger to the other causes.
The event sent the American economy into free fall, a nation into bankruptcy, tens of millions of Americans into sudden poverty and the creation of a giant government bureaucracy. It also opened the door to government-instituted dependency and "bribing the public with their own money ..... for their votes."
The growing Progressive movement was ecstatic. Their goal of strengthening the national government and making it more responsive to popular economic, social and political demands was coming to fruition. The realization of that goal came at a huge price for the American public, the steady erosion of freedom and free choice. The event also gave FDR the power to take America directly into socialism.
This was a diabolical, premeditated scheme of destroying the economic stability of the nation for the sole purpose of enslaving and indenturing the entire population to the nation's debt, a scheme so dastardly it can only be construed as high treason. The perpetrators then never saw justice and the current perpetrators of the continuation of that scheme (Progressivism) are walking free among us as if no crime or crimes had ever been committed.
Being desperate after the crash, the American people, looking to government for salvation, bought into the propaganda, hype, distortion and government lies, forsaking their duty to preserve freedom at any cost. They have been buying into those propaganda and lies ever since. Progressivism hatched those policies and lies as a means to obtain perpetual political power, at the exclusion of any other ideals and principles of American freedom. Progressives have been so successful, a nation, born under the flag of freedom, has now become a nation willingly endorsing socialism.
One of the first ways to gain power over the masses was to control the people's minds and what they believed. President Herbert Hoover contracted with the University of Illinois and Harvard University, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, to study how to manipulate the American people through their subconscious minds? Why would your government want to know how to manipulate you through your subconscious mind? The only logical reason can be is to control the masses by unseen government hands and unconstitutional government policies. If government would do this, what else would they do under the same pretense? They've already done it ladies and gentlemen.
Another way to control the masses was to inject socialism, radical environmentalism and global government concepts into the public school curriculum with subtle changes to textbooks and indoctrination of teachers in liberal colleges, which they have been doing for at least eight decades or more. Those in government determined they could literally change public policy and sentiment and voting patterns of the next generation (thus the next government leaders) by exploiting the minds of little Johnny and Jenny, their parents being none the wiser. Hitler used the same tactics.
Even with all the safeguards against the abuse of power and the growth of tyranny the Founding Fathers put into our founding documents, they could not have foreseen how the loss of honor, integrity and honesty and the influence of money would corrupt the people's representatives.
The entire concept of functioning self-government was based on honor, constitutional principles and the rule of law. Sadly, under the camouflage of growing corruption and the rise of Progressivism, the Constitution has been bastardized to a "fluid", ever-changing document and the rule of law has morphed into the "Lule of Raw", all under the people's noses and without their consent.
Why else would the likes of Bill and Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, James Clapper, John Brennan, Hunter Biden, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, et al, not be indicted, convicted and sent to jail for abuse of power and violating federal law? What high-level elites, officials, or politicians were shielded from prosecution by the suspicious death of Jeffrey Epstein?
Why do our senators and representatives continually get away with crimes they commit and legislation they pass that are an attack on the freedom of every American and the depletions of their wallets? Why is millions in taxpayer money being used to buy off the sex victims of senators and representatives?
Why, because a large percentage of the American public is just plain stupid, or doesn't care. They are too busy getting high on drugs and keeping the Mexican cartels rolling in obscene amounts of cash, murder and other vicious crimes. These new socialist Americans are addicted to entertainment and music that has no redeeming value and in fact, influences society to "let it all hang out" as it were, without discipline, compunction, inhibition, or responsibility.
They lust after socialism so that they can reap the rewards of so-called "free" cash and benefits, paid for by producing members of society. Bernie Sanders is their hero. Millions have lost their pride, self-reliance, the work ethic and personal responsibility. Where were their parents?
The ruling class is leading the people around by their collective noses, a ruling class that is looking down on the masses as if the rulers were superior. They are laughing all the way to the bank. Under their breath and amongst themselves they say, "the people are so stupid and now we have them right where we want them, fighting amongst each other."
Americans bow down to every government scheme that Progressives can invent. They bowed down to Obama Care. Will they bow down to "Medicare-For-All", free college tuition and the forgiveness of college debt, free health care for illegal aliens, open borders, or anything else the Progressives can cook up for "free?" Probably.
The people got sucked into the great, wondrous student loan program and now millennials across America are hopelessly mired in $1.6 Trillion in debt that they can't pay and isn't dischargeable under bankruptcy laws. They can't get married, have kids, or buy a home because of the debt.
The people bowed down to the so-called voluntary income tax. Now they are so hooked on paying the income tax the IRS can get them to bow down to any new IRS code change that comes along, or any new legislation that changes the tax forms, without so much as a whimper and no matter how much of our money the government wastes. The last change to the tax and forms made the process even more complicated. You might pay less that is if you can figure out how to fill out the stupid tax forms.
Americans are bowing down to the fraud of climate change. The propaganda of climate change is everywhere. It's in our schools and colleges. It's on the TV and on radio. It's in the newspapers. Even corporations are buying into it. Meanwhile China plans to build over 300 new coal-fired power plants in the next five years. Any efforts to control CO2 emissions in America in pursuit of saving the planet will be eclipsed by China and India's CO2 emissions. The earth won't even notice the difference. But no, it is Americans that must bow down to the "God of Green" because we're so rich and we're guilty for "destroying" the planet. Suckers all.
Under our noses, environmentalism has morphed into a radical cult, just as Islamo-Fascism is a radical cult with designs to make converts by force of violence. The only difference is, the radical environmentalists make converts by force of law, using the three branches of government as its lawmaker, enforcer and the minister of climate change propaganda. The environmentalist's disciples say, bow down and obey the "God of Green", or you go to Hell in trial by fire, or in corrupt courts that have lost all allegiance to the Supreme Law of the Land. This became visually and painfully evident when the Earth Liberation Front (ELF) decided to make those "heathens" that build houses, pay for their environmental heresy. In a criminal and violent act, ELF started the fires that burned to the ground 4 of the 5 "Street of Dreams" homes being built near Woodinville, Washington. Radical environmental violence is everywhere in America, while the people cow in submission.
Governments, federal, state and local, politicians and bureaucrats alike, are the Imams, the High Priests and the Clerics of the "God of Green". They are the carriers, the implementers and the heavy-handed enforcers of this environmental radicalism that now permeates every corner of America and the world. If it isn't save every wetland, no matter what the cost, it's quit driving your car because you are killing the planet with man-caused global warming, a government fraud. Or, stop using your rural land because the environmentalists want your land for wildlife corridors, aquifer re-charge, fish habitat, conservation easements, or open space. The city folk and the radical environmentalists call your private rural land, "their" land, as if they owned it.
As you are reading this you are probably saying to yourself, "Hey, I'm not one of those people you are describing. I'm a proud, productive, responsible American. No one leads me by the nose!" You may be absolutely right, but you should be really angry with those people we are describing because they are destroying the very America of which you are so proud. Who are they? You already know.
The fact is, representative government is dead in America because of the people we are describing who don't care about what their representatives are doing. Being a government representative today isn't about representing your constituents, it's about leading your constituents around by the nose and making as much money as you can as a government representative before you retire, or before your constituents fire you at the ballot box. And the people let it happen. Cynical you say? You bet!
We don't beat around the bush in our articles ladies and gentlemen. We tell it like it is. Unfortunately, it is difficult for some people to accept reality, much less do anything about it.

"Is The American Spirit Alive and Well This Thanksgiving?"
from "In Defense of Rural America"
By Ron Ewart, President of the
National Association of Rural Landowners
and nationally recognized author and speaker on freedom and property rights issues
Copyright Sunday, November 24, 2019 - All Rights Reserved
"What the Founding Fathers created in the Constitution is the most magnificent government on the face of the Earth, and the reason is this: because it was intended to preserve the American society and the American spirit, not to transform it or destroy it." Mark Levin
I jerked awake as the first sergeant burst through the barracks door and blew his whistle for us to hit the floor at "O" dark 30. He screamed, "line up in single file and make it quick." Then he blew that irritating whistle again, and again, and again! I wanted to throttle that whistle and shove it where the Sun doesn't shine. But the question that jumped instantly in my mind, as I strained to reach consciousness, was how the Hell did I get here and my second question was, where are my glasses, I can't see a damn thing?
Yesterday I was sitting in my office composing another article, when all of a sudden I'm in boot camp with a bunch of other young, naive' lost souls, being herded around like a flock of sheep.
I remember, without a great deal of reverence, boot camp as an Army draftee almost 60 years ago. But coming from a long line of mavericks, (it has been reported that one of my great-great-greats ran with the Dalton Gang in Kansas) I objected strenuously to all the rules and regulations of army life and I objected even more to some idiot sergeant, or shavetail lieutenant, interminably screaming orders in my ear, at a decibel level just short of a roaring freight train.
After boot camp I eventually was assigned to a Missile Master Site outside of Chicago. How I survived two years in the Army is anyone's guess and it is only by the grace of providence I didn't end up in the stockade for my whole tour of duty. I was forever forgetting to salute an officer or wear my hat when outdoors. I constantly questioned orders. One captain was so annoyed with my antics he threatened to send me to Viet Nam. But he didn't succeed because the Colonel, a maverick himself, was sympathetic to my individuality and actually gave me a promotion to sergeant, just before I was discharged on October 31st, 1962 during President Kennedy's Naval blockade of Cuba. Very few soldiers get a promotion 45 days before being discharged without being requested to re-up. Just lucky I guess.
Nevertheless, this is in no way to demean those that serve in our armed forces. Where would America be today without them? Some people do well under a heavily disciplined environment. I just wasn't one of them.
Ever since I was born, I haven't taken instructions very well. Just ask my parents, God rest their souls. Because you see, deep in my heart and mind, I am a free spirit and it is "I" that directs my life; not a first sergeant, not a boss and definitely not the government! A wife.....? Maybe! Perhaps that is why I have been self-employed most of my life. If I had been born in early pioneer days, I probably would have been a mountain man.
In retrospect, my army experience was not all bad. It led to a wife of 57 years, two great kids ..... now very productive adults and three grand children whom we adore. All of them have that free, entrepreneurial spirit that was spawned by their father and now their grandfather.
But I digress. Let's return to the Army barracks. As the reality of this unbelievable situation began to set in, I realized that I wasn't supposed to be there. In fact, I became acutely aware that this whole unfolding episode was a dream, if not a nightmare. I also knew emphatically, that I wanted out of this dream very badly. So with great effort and a spark from my free spirit, I abruptly awoke from the dream that was taking me where I didn't want to go.
We Americans are all living in an unthinkable reality and it isn't a dream. It is a reality for which we alone are responsible. Because you see, we buried our American free spirit. We buried our desire to right a wrong or undo an injustice. We buried our responsibility to hold government accountable. We buried our insatiable desire to pioneer and forge ahead, no matter what lies in our path, and we buried it in exchange for comfort, security and government dependence.
Too many Americans have buried their adventurism to explore and seek out new things and new experiences, even if that exploration carried with it unknown risks. We forgot about all those that gave their lives, their limbs and their minds to preserve, protect and defend our hard-won heritage of freedom and liberty. We forgot that a government left unto its own resources would eventually enslave the very people that was and is its solemn duty to defend and protect.
Instead of relying on our own individuality, prowess, self-confidence and self-reliance, supposedly taught to us by our wise parents, we eagerly jumped on the government freight train that offered a "free" lunch and phantom security. But government purposely failed to disclose that the "free" lunch and security came with an incalculable price and that the train we were on was headed straight for Hell and abject slavery.
Americans are a strange lot. They will take Hell and Damnation and even insane regulations up to a point and then some event, some injustice, some travesty, some flash point, will awaken them from their dream and trigger their anger and their wrath. From that anger, their free spirit will rise out of the depths of obscurity to confront the enemy they have been ignoring for far too long.
When these Americans coalesce in a single purpose to confront the foreign or domestic enemy, under the power of their indomitable free spirit, the enemy would be wise to retreat. And don't think for one minute that our foreign enemies aren't aware of this free spirit that lives under the umbrella of liberty, where there is a "gun behind every blade of grass" (Japanese Admiral Yamamoto - World War 2). It is what they fear and why they hate us so, and why they want to destroy us. And don't think for one minute that our domestic enemies won't do everything they can to break our free spirit. For they have tasted their growing power and will not let go of it easily. They are very close to enslaving the very people government was sworn to preserve and protect.
True freedom allows a free spirit to grow, strengthen and prosper. Liberty allows that spirit to create new things, imagine new horizons and take calculated risks in order to better the human condition, or explore our fascinating and expanding universe, or the depths of quantum weirdness. A free spirit resists with all of its might, any attempts to squash or impede it. A free spirit can only be enslaved in body, but never in mind. A free spirit is like bubbles in the sea that always rise to the surface, in search of freedom in the open air and the release of the watery shackles that hold it captive. A free spirit is a government's or a dictator's worst nightmare.
In our efforts to awaken that free spirit in Americans, we have found that actually, it is not only alive and well it is growing, especially since Trump was elected President. Freedom is infectious and cannot be held in chains for very long. Be not afraid, do not despair or feel that you have lost your power. For it is the power of the free spirit and the goodness that lives in the heart and mind of each individual American and the unbreakable bond of families that will solve our problems, right our wrongs and reclaim our constitutional freedom.
On this Thanksgiving Day, where we express our gratitude for all the good things we have, we ask that you wake up from your dream, as we had to do, and activate your free spirit. Join the ranks of those of us who seek freedom, no matter what the cost, because freedom is the natural order. It is also your solemn duty to preserve and defend freedom and liberty for your children and grandchildren, so that it will survive and flourish in perpetuity.
In spite of all of our individual and collective faults, there is a "great good" that exists in a very large number of Americans. That good is personified in a wide range of human traits and behavior including private and public achievement, sacrifice, industry, creativity, empathy, generosity, spontaneous volunteerism and spirit, either as individuals, or as a society. Unfortunately, due to the "distorted window" through which we view our information, that "great good" in us seems to be eclipsed by an over-zealous emphasis on that which appears to be "bad" within us.
Thanksgiving should kindle that great good within us and make us proud of being Americans. We should be forever grateful for our families, our freedom and our prosperity and for the sacrifices of those brave souls that gave their lives, limbs and minds to preserve what we hold so dear.
Remember, you are an American. The blood of heroes and patriots courses through your arteries and veins. Millions of men and women have paid the ultimate sacrifice and many have been maimed for life so that you can stand free on a new continent, where freedom was born.
You are the descendants of those whose spine was stiffened by courage when their country called, or evil raised its ugly head. You are the direct lineage of the men and women whose intellect and fortitude carried them to new heights and made America the greatest, proudest, industrious, creative, productive and most generous nation on Earth. You are the sons, daughters, grandsons and grand daughters of those who stood up to tyranny, no matter what the cost. The genes of creators, inventors, hard workers, the educated, the warriors and those in service to others, are an integral part of your DNA and it lies dormant in your being until it is called upon to do good ..... or destroy evil.
High tension is in the air and changes are riding on the wind like we have never seen. There is a grand awakening and those that have perpetrated the destruction of America grow nervous. They are fighting back to maintain their power, but their actions are taking on the sour smell of desperation and their power is showing signs of weakening, as the rising crescendo of the American spirit and patriotism echoes across the fruited plains and reverberates through the canyons and valleys of our mighty mountains ..... from sea to shining sea. Our domestic enemies are on the defensive and as the crescendo rises even more, they will eventually be on the run. We WILL reclaim a free America!
Yes, the "American free spirit IS alive and well on this Thanksgiving Day."
Today, make a vow that, "You Will Never Surrender To A Democrat Aristocracy."
Remember, if you can't be led, you can't be enslaved.

I jerked awake as the first sergeant burst through the barracks door and blew his whistle for us to hit the floor at "O" dark 30. He screamed, "line up in single file and make it quick." Then he blew that irritating whistle again, and again, and again! I wanted to throttle that whistle and shove it where the Sun doesn't shine. But the question that jumped instantly in my mind, as I strained to reach consciousness, was how the Hell did I get here and my second question was, where are my glasses, I can't see a damn thing?
Yesterday I was sitting in my office composing another article, when all of a sudden I'm in boot camp with a bunch of other young, naive' lost souls, being herded around like a flock of sheep.
I remember, without a great deal of reverence, boot camp as an Army draftee almost 60 years ago. But coming from a long line of mavericks, (it has been reported that one of my great-great-greats ran with the Dalton Gang in Kansas) I objected strenuously to all the rules and regulations of army life and I objected even more to some idiot sergeant, or shavetail lieutenant, interminably screaming orders in my ear, at a decibel level just short of a roaring freight train.
After boot camp I eventually was assigned to a Missile Master Site outside of Chicago. How I survived two years in the Army is anyone's guess and it is only by the grace of providence I didn't end up in the stockade for my whole tour of duty. I was forever forgetting to salute an officer or wear my hat when outdoors. I constantly questioned orders. One captain was so annoyed with my antics he threatened to send me to Viet Nam. But he didn't succeed because the Colonel, a maverick himself, was sympathetic to my individuality and actually gave me a promotion to sergeant, just before I was discharged on October 31st, 1962 during President Kennedy's Naval blockade of Cuba. Very few soldiers get a promotion 45 days before being discharged without being requested to re-up. Just lucky I guess.
Nevertheless, this is in no way to demean those that serve in our armed forces. Where would America be today without them? Some people do well under a heavily disciplined environment. I just wasn't one of them.
Ever since I was born, I haven't taken instructions very well. Just ask my parents, God rest their souls. Because you see, deep in my heart and mind, I am a free spirit and it is "I" that directs my life; not a first sergeant, not a boss and definitely not the government! A wife.....? Maybe! Perhaps that is why I have been self-employed most of my life. If I had been born in early pioneer days, I probably would have been a mountain man.
In retrospect, my army experience was not all bad. It led to a wife of 57 years, two great kids ..... now very productive adults and three grand children whom we adore. All of them have that free, entrepreneurial spirit that was spawned by their father and now their grandfather.

"Without Adherence To Principle There is Chaos!"
from "In Defense of Rural America"

Human newborns, no matter what culture or geographical location, are very much like computers with empty hard drives. You can fill the hard drive with truths, (say a well-written program that can be an excellent tool) or you can dump garbage into it and have it produce gibberish. Babies are also like sponges and they absorb everything that their five senses ingest, either good or evil. Babies are not pre-programmed for good. They can be molded into any type of human their handlers want them to be. If babies are left to their own resources, should they survive to adulthood, they become the sum of all of their inherited characteristics and all of their experiences and how their mind processes those experiences. But babies are not responsible for who or what they become, their parents and their teachers are. That is a huge responsibility that way too many folk take lightly.
So we as parents and teachers have a choice. We can instill solid "principles" of right and wrong, self-reliance, discipline, compassion and responsibility in our charges, or we can instill incarnate evil and everything in between. Or, we can allow them to be brainwashed, as is happening in our public schools today. But if we do nothing, the outcome of our children becomes unpredictable and are subject to random influences. Under random influences, a child has the possibility of becoming a Hitler, a George Washington, or a derelict, depending upon the principles, or lack thereof, that have been recorded on their "hard drives". But whatever we do, or don't do, for or against our children, can have a profound effect on history and future generations.
A couple of thousand years ago, a set of moral "principles" were handed down to the peoples of the time. "Principles" that have stood the test of time and that have been the bedrock of at least two major religions whose heartbeat started in and near Jerusalem, Israel. Those principles have been the fabric and foundation that have kept these religions alive and going strong, for well over 2,000 years. Splinter religions that strayed from, or significantly altered the "principles", fell by the wayside and disappeared from view, or become ineffectual fringe elements, or outcasts.
Countries and cultures are a great deal like the minds of young babies. They can either establish a set of strong principles to govern themselves, or allow themselves to be subject to random influences, or worse, in their apathy and indifference, allow their governors to usurp unlimited powers.
There is an inviolate law of nature that was set down by scientists of the 19th century as the second law of thermo-dynamics. It is called the law of entropy. In simple words the law states that any entity, any body, has only one path from present to future and that path is from order to disorder. A body with heat, loses that heat. A cell in an organism eventually wears out and dies. The orbits of planets and moons ultimately decay and they sometimes crash into their suns, or their host planets. Suns, like our own, use up their energy and in time, burn out and collapse into white dwarfs. Even our Universe may be headed for what scientists call heat death, where all heat is dissipated to nothingness and only deep cold is left.
But like many laws, there are some exceptions. It seems that there is another mysterious force at work in our Universe, wherein order emerges from chaos and instead we get the opposite of entropy. Massive supernova explosions of giant stars spew out elements, billions of miles into the surrounding void. Elements that are manufactured in the bowels of the dying star from nuclear fusion. Over time those elements coalesce into huge clouds of gas and the gas clouds then begin to collapse under gravity and form new stars that heat emerging planets, upon which some, life is born. Thus, from the death of a star, from order to disorder under the law of entropy, comes order in the form of new suns, planets and life, and in some cases intelligent life. All life and inanimate matter on earth is made up of the elements that were manufactured in massive star supernovas. And by some operation of principle, or law, those elements assemble themselves into objects with form and purpose, like stars, planets, rocks, water, plant and animal life.
On Earth, at least, a plant rises up out of the moist, rich soil from a tiny seed no bigger than a few grains of sand. Its journey through life is preordained. It cannot sway from the goal set for it by its genetics, chemistry and biology. Those limits are its "principles". Somewhere along the way a bud forms on the end of a stalk or tendril of the plant and in but a few days, erupts into a splendor of color and a soft, enticing shape; each plant having its own unique form. Deep inside the flower, which it has now become, lies the makings for its offspring and with a little help from other creatures, the chemical means to allow it to reproduce. Soon it is visited by a host of flying insects and birds and from that embrace and the ultimate distribution of the contents of its interior, the seeds are sown for a new generation of the species.
In contrast, human beings of Earth are far different than the plant, even though they too come from a seed. Humans possess what all plants and most, if not all animals, do not possess. Humans have pre-programmed into them volition, free choice, an ego, an id, a will to determine their own direction, their own future. But humans, without adherence to sound principles, invite chaos and can wander aimlessly, without purpose. These hapless souls become easy pray for governments looking for votes.
It is written that eleven score and twelve years ago, 'our founding fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty', in which the inalienable rights, granted to us by our creator, were codified into a set of "principles" under our constitution. 'And to secure these inalienable rights, governments were instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.'
'Now we are engaged in a time' of contentious conflict, confusion, turmoil and division, amongst our own people, severely 'testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.' But without adherence to and the defense of the "principles" upon which this great nation was founded, the law of entropy will surely lead us from order into chaos and we shall crumble and decay into socialism, despotism, or a dictatorship, as have all past nations who toyed with freedom throughout the history of man and lost it. The future of freedom is in our hands, but only if we fiercely adhere to the principles handed down to us by the brave and courageous men and women who forged America, in a time of turmoil, conflict and confusion.

"One Day You May Have To Pick Up A Sword"

Come on folks! The handwriting is on the wall. The tealeaves have all been read. There is no way to peacefully and amicably heal the irreconcilable differences between the left and the right and the liberal and the conservative. We are hopelessly divided by rich and poor, race, gender, class warfare, economics, immigration and health care. The gap is far too wide to close and divorce is imminent. What form that divorce will take will depend on which side has the greatest political power. As it stands right now the liberal side has the majority of the power and conservative side is whistling in Dixie if they think they can convince the majority of the long-term benefits of freedom and liberty. The left (the majority) has tasted the sweet fruits of socialism and they like the flavor, oblivious of the horror that socialism eventually inflicts upon its victims.
There are only two paths to take. The first path is to let socialism burn itself out as it usually does, maybe in a century or so. The second path is some kind of war between the two sides to settle their irreconcilable differences, now. It could be a non-violent war, or open civil war.
The realities are staring conservatives in the face, but they refuse to accept those realities. The left owns most politicians, the deep state, the news media, academia, our entertainment and social media. They have re-programmed our public schools into institutions of socialist and environmental indoctrination. Liberal colleges are just an extension of that indoctrination. They own the money, the land, the water, the food, the energy, health care and now the weather. They own the street that you live on and the power, water and sewer that service it. They own the cells in your body and the thoughts they put in your brain. They can manipulate you to do almost anything they want you to do and they are so subtle and treacherous, you don't even know they are doing it.
You pay exorbitant taxes under a tax code no one can understand and you willing obey all the millions of laws, regulations, rules, restrictions and ordinances they pass, at every level of government. You are a puppet dancing on the strings of power-hungry local, national and international puppeteers that are immune from the laws you must obey. Your freedoms have been diluted or repealed. National sovereignty has been dissolved by hundreds of bad trade deals and treaties. Your borders are so porous anyone can enter the country illegally and start emptying your wallet against your will, all with government's permission.
The ideologies of socialism and communism surround you and administered by Progressive elites and the Deep State. Government spies on you. It owns the banks in which you deposit your money. The government can confiscate every penny you have in that bank under the law. If you don't believe us, ask your bank for the government document or documents that are referenced in your bank signature card. Mention the Dodd-Frank Act.
Under asset forfeiture laws, government (law enforcement) can take everything you own and sell it at auction for their own use, even if you are innocent. Good luck in getting it returned.
Under red flag laws, government can take your guns away merely on the word of an anonymous person. You can spend thousands of dollars and years of litigation to get your weapons back. How long will it be before government convinces you that owning a gun is hazardous to your health and they are coming to your home to get your guns under the guise of public health and safety laws ..... with a SWAT team?
Right now your U. S. Senators are opening the door to massive LEGAL immigration under Senate Bill 386 and expanding H1B visas, taking hundreds of thousands of jobs away from legal Americans. They want to give these legal immigrants voting rights and citizenship. Are your representatives working for you? Hardly!
Government agents and law enforcement already have an implied license, sanctioned by the U. S. Supreme Court, to trespass on your property at will. But this is where you CAN fight back. Whether you live in the big city, or out in big sky country, you can REVOKE that implied license by legal precedent with our copyrighted, powerful, legally intimidating, 12" x 18" aluminum, REVOCATION No Trespass signs.
By government law, under the United Nations Agenda 21 policies and in the name of smart growth and sustainable development, you are being secretly driven into large urban centers where government is better able to control you. They don't want you living in suburban or rural areas where you might get thoughts of independence ..... or resistance. By government environmental edict, the rural areas are restricted to plants, animals, birds and insects. For proof, check out Agenda 21 and the Wildlands Project HERE.
You are being controlled by an alphabet soup of government agencies with names like IRS, EPA, BLM, DOE, DHS, etc. who can create law without legislative approval, in violation of Article 1, Section 1 of the U. S. Constitution. God help you if you violate one of their laws.
You are an indentured debt holder of the national debt, which now approaches $23 Trillion and climbing rapidly. Your individual portion of that debt is around $70,000. If the Democrats come into power, you will see your obligation rise exponentially. They don't care about the national debt. They only care about buying your vote to gain power, even if it means increasing the debt to do it.
You don't own your land anymore because government can now take your land under eminent domain for an economic purpose, where before they could only take your land for a clearly defined public purpose.
Government can pass regulations that can take away virtually 100% of the use of your property before government is forced to pay you "just compensation" under the Fifth Amendment. While they are scaring you to death with threats of condemnation, they work behind the scenes to reduce what they have to pay you, or wear you down with huge court costs and attorney's fees. They can down zone your property or declare it a wetland to reduce your land's value, all legally of course.
You are not a free, sovereign human being any more, living under a Constitutional Republic. You are a slave and a pawn living under an Absolute Democrat Monarchy. Sadly, you just don't know it yet.
What you see today in newspapers, the web, social media, in movies, or on TV is a carefully orchestrated manipulation of your entire life. You are tracked, funneled, pushed, shoved and directed to the bang of the government's and the environmentalist's (Climate Change) drummer.
What on earth makes anyone think they can turn back the clock? Trump and his followers are trying but look how hard it has been. The Progressives and Deep State could very likely take him down.
Now that we have been fully immersed in socialism and radical environmentalism for at least five decades, is there any hope of undoing what has been done, when so many of American citizens have forsaken freedom and liberty in exchange for the phantom veil of security, comfort and "free" stuff?
How can we turn back the clock to a time when Americans were self-reliant instead of dependent, when they were responsible for their actions instead of being excused for them because they are alleged victims of all of society's ills, or when the rule of law meant something, or when there were individuals with individual rights, not part of a collective where only the collective has rights, or when they looked to themselves to get out of a scrape, instead of holding their outstretched hands to a nanny government for rescue and salvation?
How can we unravel the tangled web of razor wire that is our legal and unjust justice system, or roll back millions of social or environmental laws? How do you convince lawmakers that what they are doing is sapping the very strength and vitality out of our people by being everything for them and regulating every aspect of their lives, making them slaves?
How do you round up and send 22,000,000 illegal aliens back across the border they chose to violate, because our government and special interests created magnets for them to come here in the first place? How do we stop the hemorrhaging of our tax dollars to an ever-rising crisis that is illegal immigration?
How do you tell a person that the handouts they are receiving from government are coming from someone else's sweat, labor and earnings and that what they are accepting is morally wrong, even though several generations in their extended family have been receiving those handouts?
There are those in our society that need our help, but should that help come from government? Should it not be the outpouring of genuine compassion through those entities that are best able to efficiently administer it, in the private sector? Unfortunately, there are way too many people in America that are getting government help that shouldn't be and the cost to our treasury and to the recipient's independence and pride, is astronomical.
Finally, how do you undo the power that our government has amassed by violating the constitutional limits on its powers for a hundred years, while WE THE PEOPLE looked the other way?
There are two unchangeable axioms that are as inviolate as the Sun coming up in the morning. 1) Those receiving a promise from government, (welfare) resist giving it up and will fight tooth and nail to preserve it. It doesn't matter to them the source of the welfare, and 2) power grows exponentially beyond its limits, unless there is a corresponding power to inhibit it.
It took 156 years from 1620 to 1776 for the colonials to have enough of England and King George III to jump-start their clock forward to freedom and liberty and they paid an incalculable price, the greatest price and the greatest sacrifice of all, the giving of one's life for liberty. Will it take another 156 years for Americans to finally see the light and commit themselves to the fight for freedom? Perhaps in 2050 we will be closer to an answer. It is highly unlikely!
But all the conservative talk shows, all the rhetoric, all the protests, and all the articles in the world will not turn back the clock to America's finer yesteryear. Either the believers and fighters in the defense of freedom and liberty coalesce as one on a grand scale, or the hands of the American clock will click ever onward towards abject socialism, radical environmentalism and the one world order. The clock's inertia is almost 100 years old. The Pendulum of our clock swings ever wider towards enslavement, as freedom smiles from a distance and then fades into a dim memory of all things past. The only human characteristics that will set things right and return this once-great land to its former greatness, is vehemence, determination, boldness, courage and the willingness to risk all by the multitudes who seek freedom, so that future generations will be and remain free. Nothing less will turn back the clock of time, or jump it forward to a brighter future in the brilliant light of freedom and liberty, from which the pursuit of all happiness springs. Or, one day we could all end up like Jeremy in "Back To The Future - The Obama Legacy."
Abraham Lincoln best described the American Clock to which we should return, when he said:
"You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves." But that is exactly what Bernie and Elizabeth want to do.
The halls of our government have been taken over by traitors from within. They bring servitude instead of freedom, phantom security instead of liberty, and pride-killing dependence instead of self-reliance. We must be forever on our guard to prevent the traitor from convincing us that we are but victims and are in constant need of our father-mother government to watch out over us. Even 2,000 years ago, wise men knew the evils of the traitor within and the devil that stalks freedom in the night and in the back rooms where ambitious men lay the seeds of slavery (Medicare) for all.
This takes us back to the first or second paths Americans will eventually follow; let socialism burn itself out in a hundred years, or go to war over irreconcilable differences.
One day we may have no other choice but to, "Pick Up A Sword To Save Freedom", or hide in the shadows like a coward, while your countrymen are slaughtered in the name of socialism.
All these words are true. Ignore them at your own peril.

There are only two paths to take. The first path is to let socialism burn itself out as it usually does, maybe in a century or so. The second path is some kind of war between the two sides to settle their irreconcilable differences, now. It could be a non-violent war, or open civil war.
The realities are staring conservatives in the face, but they refuse to accept those realities. The left owns most politicians, the deep state, the news media, academia, our entertainment and social media. They have re-programmed our public schools into institutions of socialist and environmental indoctrination. Liberal colleges are just an extension of that indoctrination. They own the money, the land, the water, the food, the energy, health care and now the weather. They own the street that you live on and the power, water and sewer that service it. They own the cells in your body and the thoughts they put in your brain. They can manipulate you to do almost anything they want you to do and they are so subtle and treacherous, you don't even know they are doing it.
You pay exorbitant taxes under a tax code no one can understand and you willing obey all the millions of laws, regulations, rules, restrictions and ordinances they pass, at every level of government. You are a puppet dancing on the strings of power-hungry local, national and international puppeteers that are immune from the laws you must obey. Your freedoms have been diluted or repealed. National sovereignty has been dissolved by hundreds of bad trade deals and treaties. Your borders are so porous anyone can enter the country illegally and start emptying your wallet against your will, all with government's permission.
The ideologies of socialism and communism surround you and administered by Progressive elites and the Deep State. Government spies on you. It owns the banks in which you deposit your money. The government can confiscate every penny you have in that bank under the law. If you don't believe us, ask your bank for the government document or documents that are referenced in your bank signature card. Mention the Dodd-Frank Act.
Under asset forfeiture laws, government (law enforcement) can take everything you own and sell it at auction for their own use, even if you are innocent. Good luck in getting it returned.
Under red flag laws, government can take your guns away merely on the word of an anonymous person. You can spend thousands of dollars and years of litigation to get your weapons back. How long will it be before government convinces you that owning a gun is hazardous to your health and they are coming to your home to get your guns under the guise of public health and safety laws ..... with a SWAT team?
Right now your U. S. Senators are opening the door to massive LEGAL immigration under Senate Bill 386 and expanding H1B visas, taking hundreds of thousands of jobs away from legal Americans. They want to give these legal immigrants voting rights and citizenship. Are your representatives working for you? Hardly!
Government agents and law enforcement already have an implied license, sanctioned by the U. S. Supreme Court, to trespass on your property at will. But this is where you CAN fight back. Whether you live in the big city, or out in big sky country, you can REVOKE that implied license by legal precedent with our copyrighted, powerful, legally intimidating, 12" x 18" aluminum, REVOCATION No Trespass signs.

"There is no crueler tyranny than that which is perpetuated under the shield of law and in the name of justice." Montesquieu, French Judge and Political Philosopher, (1689 - 1755)
You think you are a law-abiding citizen, don't you? Think again! You have been, you are now, and you will continue to break the law for the rest of your life, because there are too many laws, with millions more laws to follow. Many of these laws are totally unconstitutional but have never been challenged in the courts. Sometimes you break the law without any knowledge of it, even though ignorance of the law is not an excuse, if you are caught. But worse, millions are breaking the law because they are convinced the laws are illegal, or just plain stupid. With more people intentionally breaking the law, eventually the rule of law breaks down, as does our Republic.
The examples of stupid laws would fill volumes. Examples of conflicting laws would fill even more volumes. Some (or is it most) lawmakers just aren't very smart. This nightmare of too many laws is a lawyer's perpetual job security, which results in too many lawyers. Lawyers become politicians, judges and bureaucrats. (Have you seen the numerous ambulance-chasing lawyer ads on TV these days?)
Since the final draft of the U. S. Constitution became the Supreme Law of the Land, legislators have been legislating, that is they have been passing law ..... after law ..... after law. Do you want to know why you are a criminal? Here is why. “The U.S. Code, which contains all federal statutes, occupies 56,009 single-spaced pages. Its 47 volumes take up nine feet of shelf space. An annotated version, which attempts to bring order out of chaos, is three feet long and has 230 hardcover volumes and 36 paperback supplements. Administrative lawmaking under statutes fill up the 207-volume Code of Federal Regulations, which spans 21 feet of shelf space and contains more than 134,488 pages of regulatory law. … Federal law is further augmented by more than 2,756 volumes of judicial precedent, taking up 160 yards (almost twice as long as a football field) of law-library shelving.”
This is just federal law and it is growing almost by the second. You can't move sideways without bumping into a law. All of this federal law does not include the millions of state, county and city laws that have been passed since we won our freedom in our first revolution. State and local laws are also growing by the second.
The Obama/Pelosi/Reid $787 Billion Stimulus package (2009) was over 1,000 pages of more law that no one read and it included more taxes and much more socialism. It bailed out the banks but not much else. Obama Care legislation (2010) another socialism law, consisted of 2,300 pages, with an additional 16,000 pages of regulations.
Too many laws create competing special interests who then lobby the system to entrench their own little worlds, while the un-represented (that's millions of Americans) are left out in the cold. We have become a government of cronies, in a world run by cronyism, in an atmosphere of corruption, Hell bent on driving America and Americans into unabashed socialism and the one-world-order.
Too many laws create victims who inadvertently violate one or more laws and spend their life's savings trying to defend themselves against an intransigent, all-powerful and abusive government. Too many laws lead to powerful, entitled special interests and the innocent victims are left with no political or judicial power at all.
Interestingly, America contains an almost ghostly, silent majority .... mostly silent and heard from rarely, but it does exist. Most of this group is trying to live out their lives as best they can, earn a living and raise their children in a country they thought was the land of the free. You know, a government they could trust, a government that protects the unalienable, individual rights as granted to us by our creator and codified into law by our constitution, a government that operates within the enumerated powers allowed them by that very same constitution and a government of trusty worthy men and women. Americans weren't expecting that their government would provide more rights and legal protection to illegal aliens, over the rights of legal citizens, illegal aliens that blatantly break our laws.
Unfortunately, in the silent majority's silence, their government, without the silent majority's consent, assumed powers that far exceeded the government's constitutional powers. They passed laws to pander to (or buy off) special interest groups for votes, or to increase their political powers and then levied ever-increasing taxes to pay for it all. Even as the regulations rose exponentially and as taxes became more burdensome, the silent majority, to their discredit, still remained silent. Their silence, their apathy and their disinterest in what government has been and is doing, has unknowingly turned each and everyone of them into criminals ..... law breakers, who can be subject to fines and imprisonment for violating laws they know nothing about.
America was founded on the basics of natural law and the principles of a Constitutional Republic. That is, a system of government by the rule of law, with the Constitution as the foundation of all law. What the Founders failed to realize, or maybe they did but didn't account for it, was that lawmakers have but one goal in life, that is the passing of laws. The lawmakers very rarely consider repealing laws, or remove conflicting laws, upon which clever attorneys can twist to fit a particular case, which they do all too often. The net result is we have become enslaved by the passage of too many laws and we became unintentional law breakers of those laws ..... thus perpetual criminals whom have yet to be caught. "You can hide from government, but not for very long."
As the silent majority watches our government use our tax money and our children's tax money to increase their pandering and buying off of special interest groups, as government pours our hard-earned money into banks and businesses, as they prop up people who have acted irresponsibly with more of our money that we earned responsibly, they are increasing their power over us and increasing the laws that control us ..... laws eliminating our individual rights, gun rights, property rights, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the sovereignty of states and the people under the 9th and 10th Amendments and equal protection under the law contained in the 14th Amendment. The 5th Amendment is all but null and void through the passing of draconian environmental regulation, along with government abuse of eminent domain.
However, the days of the silent majority being silent, must be over. Once we realize that, if the silent majority suddenly united as one in defiance of more laws and more of our money and our children's money being stolen by the government, at the point of a gun, (just try not paying your taxes) to buy off banks, businesses and irresponsible individuals, we could turn America around in months. If the Consent of the Governed, that Silent Majority, "esplained" it to government to get out of the way, our economy would improve naturally, in a shorter period of time, based on sound economic and capitalistic principles, not government manipulated insanity. President Trump has made some significant strides in this direction.
So how does the American silent majority unite as one? It rallies around one simple idea or symbol and uses that idea or symbol as the rallying cry for freedom and liberty and the reduction of government power. One such way is for the people on a grand scale to issue a general ULTIMATUM to the government with a list of demands and dire consequences if the government doesn't respond to the Ultimatum. We need to flood America with this Ultimatum. If you are looking for a simple, virtually free way to make a difference, this is it. All you will have to give is a tiny bit of your time.
You think you are a law-abiding citizen, don't you? Think again! You have been, you are now, and you will continue to break the law for the rest of your life, because there are too many laws, with millions more laws to follow. Many of these laws are totally unconstitutional but have never been challenged in the courts.

If the Consent of the Governed, that Silent Majority, "esplained" it to government to get out of the way, our economy would improve naturally, in a shorter period of time, based on sound economic and capitalistic principles, not government manipulated insanity. President Trump has made some significant strides in this direction.
So how does the American silent majority unite as one? It rallies around one simple idea or symbol and uses that idea or symbol as the rallying cry for freedom and liberty and the reduction of government power. One such way is for the people on a grand scale to issue a general ULTIMATUM to the government with a list of demands and dire consequences if the government doesn't respond to the Ultimatum. We need to flood America with this Ultimatum. If you are looking for a simple, virtually free way to make a difference, this is it. All you will have to give is a tiny bit of your time.
No, the war is hardly lost, it is just getting interesting, as more Americans of the silent majority, wake up to what their government has perpetrated upon them, over the last 80 to 100 years. They grow weary of too many laws that make them unintended criminals and angry with a government, at all levels, that has become hopelessly out of control. It is way past time for the Silent Majority to cease being silent and return control to where it belongs ..... to the Consent of the Governed. They either do something now, or wait for that knock on the door from the government you were trying hide from, in the form of a fully armed FBI SWAT team, all because of too many laws.

" Environmentalists Have Every American In A Chokehold"
from "In Defense of Rural America"
By Ron Ewart, President of the

Ever since the rise of environmentalism in the late 1960's, the environmental noose around every American's neck grows tighter by the day. After the passage of the National Environmental Policy Act in 1969, the growth of environmental regulations exploded in America and the cost to pay for and enforce environmental regulations has exploded right along with it.
Here is an example. In two university studies it was shown that environmental regulations have added an estimated average of $200,000 for every single-family home built in America. It is less in some areas but greater in others. Who pays for this added cost, the homeowner in higher mortgages and in higher monthly payments? The cost also shows up in inflation.
Environmentalism has taken on the character of an infectious disease on a global scale. The disease is spread throughout our institutions of government, including public schools and colleges, along with corporate America, as an urgent crisis that requires instant, very expensive solutions. Of course we must all be willing to sacrifice in the name of environmentalism. That sacrifice requires giving up our constitutional rights, a comfortable lifestyle and paying usurious and confiscatory taxes.
Under the disease of radical environmentalism, one of the rights that Americans must give up is our constitutional and sacred right to own property. Environmentalism led to central planning. Private ownership of land is an obstacle to central planning and globalism. Under a United Nations policy established at a humans settlement conference in Vancouver BC Canada in 1976 they state:
1. Land, because of its unique nature and the crucial role it plays in human settlements, cannot be treated as an ordinary asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market. Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice; if unchecked, it may become a major obstacle in the planning and implementation of development schemes. Social justice, urban renewal and development, the provision of decent dwellings-and healthy conditions for the people can only be achieved if land is used in the interests of society as a whole.
2. Instead, the pattern of land use should be determined by the long-term interests of the community, especially since decisions on location of activities and therefore of specific land uses have a long-lasting effect on the pattern and structure of human settlements. Land is also a primary element of the natural and man-made environment and a crucial link in an often delicate balance. Public control of land use is therefore indispensable to its protection as an asset and the achievement of the long-term objectives of human settlement policies and strategies.
This should make every American's blood boil!
Remember, the United Nations was started in 1945 to be the entity that would stop all wars. It has failed in its original objective but instead has grown into a quasi-government, socialist organization attempting to change the world into the UN's concept of social and environmental justice. It (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change IPCC) is behind the move to dupe the world into believing that man-caused global warming is an existential threat to the planet and humanity and must be addressed immediately by draconian regulations and massive amounts of cash being transferred from wealthy countries to poor countries by government edict. Americans get to pay the lion's share of that cash transfer of wealth. Americans are more guilty than other people.
However, the Chinese and Indians of India get off scot-free because they are trying to grow into the 21st Century by increasing carbon dioxide polluting forms of power generation from coal. The third-world countries get to take in the cash from wealthy western nations but their requirement to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions is voluntary. In America CO2-emission reductions are mandated by law using onerous taxation. The upshot of this policy is to give over 180 third-world nations the political power, through the United Nations, to dictate to the wealthy nations.
All of this is driven by the international religious cult of radical environmentalism, which is being shoved down every American's throat by propaganda, hype, distortions, and outright lies.
Environmental protection now supersedes any vestige of constitutional property rights. Urban dwellers are under the scourge of Agenda 21, smart growth and sustainable development, while their rural cousins are being forced to bear almost the entire burden of environmental protection. Private land is being condemned under eminent domain for wildlife corridors, using the power, wealth and political influence of environmental groups like The Nature Conservancy, the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Center for Biological Diversity, the Environmental Defense Fund, Friends of Earth, Earth First, Green Peace, etc. who receive millions of taxpayer dollars to buy up private land, either directly, or by control through conservation easements. In many cases these environmental groups use taxpayer money to sue the government over environmental issues. They have become filthy rich doing so.
Federal law in the form of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Environmental Species Act (ESA) has all but eliminated private property rights.
City dwellers have been brainwashed (public schools) into believing that environmental protection is sacrosanct and has a higher priority in law, than property rights. Those same city folk elect politicians who believe as they do.
Environmentalists often refer to rural lands as "their" lands and they think that they have every right to dictate to the rural landowner for environmental reasons. Not so the rural landowner. They have their lifestyle, livelihood and their property to lose from draconian environmental protection. Unfortunately, rural landowners are disenfranchised from the political process because they are a significant minority.
The environmental and government attack on landowners is only a small portion of the chokehold that environmentalists have on every American. Radical environmentalism is a direct attack on every American's lifestyle. Anything plastic is off limits, straws, bags, etc. Now environmentalists want to take away human's biggest source of protein, any form of meat, whether cattle, pigs, sheep, or poultry.
But the most insane chokehold that environmentalism is perpetrating on Americans today is the flawed policy (Green New Deal) of eliminating fossil fuels as our source of power. Fossil fuels are directly responsible for building our free culture, energy, infrastructure, transportation, plastics, nylon, rayon, steel, roads, bridges, buildings, products, commodities and the undefeatable military that America and Americans enjoy today. Without fossil fuels Americans would be living in the lifestyle of the pioneer days. Without America's powerful military, America could very well be part of China or Russia.
Insanely, socialist Democrats and radical environmentalists want to take away our fossil fuels and replace them with wind and solar power. They want to do away with nuclear power because it might be dangerous and yet 80% of France's energy comes from nuclear power.
Indians and environmentalists want to remove dams from rivers that provide electricity, irrigation and flood control so that American Indians can fish the rivers unobstructed by dams. Some 1855 treaty gave the Indians almost total fishing rights through the Boldt decision (1974) for salmon and because of that ancient treaty, American civilians, urban and rural, are being forced to pay for salmon habitat restoration to the tune of billions of dollars so that a few Indians can fish.
Washington State governor Jay Inslee, has put in the bi-annual budget over $1 billion to save 73 orcas in Puget Sound. That's $13,700,000 per Orca. Orcas eat salmon so we must spend billions to restore habitat to enhance fish runs so that the Indians and Orcas can fish for and eat their daily supply of salmon. Kill the Orcas and the salmon would come back by the tens of millions. When are the Indians going to join the 21st Century and come out of the dark ages of their aborigine lifestyle?
Environmentalists want to save every wetland in America, no matter how small, or how much it costs, or how many rights they take away from landowners and yet one third of the earth's surface was covered in ice just 11,000 years ago. There were no wetlands under all that ice.
Most of this environmental insanity is based on two flawed beliefs:
1. Man is destroying the planet with human activity.
2. Man's contribution of CO2 to the atmosphere is warming the planet to dangerous levels.
That human activity is having an effect on the planet is not in dispute. The question is, will man destroy the planet with human activity? The answer is no. The earth is self-healing. If humans went extinct (a distinct possibility), the planet would heal itself in less than 1,000 years. 1,000 years is shorter than a blink of an eye as compared to the billions of years that the earth has existed. Farmers and ranchers in the Amazon are faced with trees and plants reclaiming the cleared areas so fast as to make farming and ranching very difficult.
Is it a fact that man's contribution to CO2 in the atmosphere is causing global warming? Here are the facts!
The total greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere are just 2% of all atmospheric gases. Yet the climate scientists tell us that it is the increases in greenhouse gases that cause rising temperatures. The scientists also tell us that CO2 is the major culprit in forcing the temperature increase. But of that 2% of all greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, carbon dioxide (CO2) is only 3.62% of that 2%. Man's contribution to GHG is 3.4% of that 3.62% of that 2%, or 0.00246%. Even if CO2 in the atmosphere is the great forcer of climate change, as climate scientists would have us believe, man's contribution to that force is so miniscule as to be well within the statistical measurement error rate.
There seems to be ample evidence that the climate is warming. The pole ice caps seem to be shrinking and land glaciers are retreating. Allegedly, sea levels are rising. But those who can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt and with absolute certainty that man is causing these events, are living in a deep mine where the Sun doesn't shine, or they have been brainwashed by evil forces.
"It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming (climate change) is a scam. Some dastardly scientists, with environmental and political motives, manipulated long term scientific data to create an illusion of rapid global warming." John Coleman, TV Weatherman

People will believe anything if it is told to them often enough. Hitler knew that and used it to get the entire German population believing that they were the chosen race and superior to all other races and therefore they must conquer the rest of the world by force and become rulers of the world.
Today, using the same Hitler tactics, national and international global forces (globalism) are doing everything in their power to brainwash an entire human species into believing that they are guilty of harming the planet so bad that they must bow down to the God of Green and the United Nations and prostrate themselves before the environmentalists and government. The masses must sacrifice all worldly pleasures and tax themselves into oblivion to save the planet, especially Americans ..... because Americans are guilty of a great sin and must pay for their sins!
The human species isn't getting any smarter, much less wiser. It is getting dumber! The human species is losing its ability to think critically and logically. It has lost any semblance of common sense and willingly capitulates to tyrannical authority. The human species is on its way to becoming planet-wide slaves of an arrogant ruling class that has sent individual freedom to the scrap heap. The "Environmentalist Ruling Class Has Every American In A Chokehold."

"What Do Socialists and Environmentalists Really Want?"
from "In Defense of Rural America"
By Ron Ewart, President of the
National Association of Rural Landowners
and nationally recognized author and speaker on freedom and property rights issues
Copyright Sunday, October 13, 2019 - All Rights Reserved
This article could really be wrapped up in three sentences. The socialist Democrats of America want to control your money, your land, your home, your power, your water, your food, your education and your health care. They want to control what you do, where you live, where you work, what you drive and what you wear. They even want to control your news and your entertainment. They have almost succeeded on all fronts.
These aren't new revelations. You have all heard them say it, on the campaign trail and in the recent debates. It gets worse every year as they troll for votes offering free "stuff" to a dumbed down electorate.
Besides wanting to control every aspect of our lives, the socialist Democrats openly advocate for open borders. They want to do away with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE. They want Medicare for all and wipe out private health care for 180,000,000 Americans. One of these insane asylum inmates (AOC) wants to close all of our prisons and let all the violent prisoners loose on society. They want free college for all students and free health care for illegal aliens. They want to take away our guns. They want to repeal the Electoral College so that eight (8) major cities in America, New York, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Philadelphia, San Antonio, San Diego and Los Angeles, would control the vote. They want to replace fossil fuels with wind and solar power, an insane idea and impossible. (See: "Why Wind And Solar Can Never Replace Fossil Fuels" by Paul Driessen)
Socialist Democrats and their deep state allies want all this and more, without regard to the consequences, the cost, or the devastating impact on individual freedom. The only thing that stands in their way is President Trump and the 63,000,000 Americans that voted for him. Will it be enough?
The socialist Democrat environmentalists want to cram all humans into big cities where they can be more easily controlled and wall off the rural areas for plants, trees, animals, birds, reptiles and insects. Humans are to be relegated to 25-story buildings in high dense urban cities and walk, or take mass transit, or their bicycles to work. Cars, the last bastion of the American freedom of movement, are to be discouraged, if not outlawed altogether under the Green "Insane" Deal.
Government and the environmentalists are forcing you to live in large apartment buildings in dense cities, or in houses with no yards. They are driving rural residents into large cities containing high stress traffic, high noise levels, high crime and high prices for everything. Just watch the 5 or 6 O'clock news and you will get a first-hand look at the deterioration of city life. Now just imagine what life will be like twenty or thirty years from now, in America's big cities.
But the behavior of individuals living tightly in big cities produces its own share of problems. High crime rates, intense noise and air and water pollution are just a few of the consequences. Big cities require large police forces to enforce laws and civility. Big cities dump their concentrated pollution on the environment and then expect everyone else to comply with their environmental protection rules, except them selves.
The city of Victoria, BC, Canada has been dumping millions of gallons of its raw, untreated sewage into the Straits of Juan de Fuca each day for decades. They are finally building a sewage treatment plant but only after years of immense international pressure.
Big cities are also dangerous places to be in times of war and natural disasters. Earthquakes, fires, floods and rapidly spreading diseases find ready victims in big cities, any one of which can produce huge losses of life. Most of the deaths occurring from the Black Plague, during the era of the Dark Ages, occurred in the cities where the concentrated garbage attracted the rats that carried the fleas that carried the disease.
During war, opposing enemies don't bomb the countryside, they bomb big cities where the manufacturing plants build the machines and weapons of war and where large populations of men, women and children can be killed to bring the enemy to its knees. Need we mention Hiroshima. Nagasaki, or Dresden in World War 2?
Man's need to congregate can sometimes work to his detriment.
But the other consequence of high-dense living is the steady lowering of the bar of civility, respect and trust. Human behavior changes under the conditions of living closer together. It does so because of a basic human need. No matter what the government, socialists, psychologists, environmentalists, or socialist Democrats will tell you, people like and need "their" space and the space does not come in a 1,000 sq. ft. apartment in a 25-story building, surrounded by concrete on all sides, in a big city. Suburbs became a partial answer to the human need for space. But then the suburbs began to increase in density as governments got into the act of "planning" where we live and work.
We attended a conference of real estate and planning folks several years ago in which a bunch of big city, over-educated planners were extolling the virtues of their profession; planned, high-dense urban cities. At the end of their speeches we asked them if they were aware of the study of rats versus density and what happens to the rats as density is increased. We knew that the studies showed that higher densities produce hostile behavior, depression, infanticide, suicide and cannibalism in the rats. As the rat density increases, aberrant behavior increases with it, dramatically.
One of the planners responded that he was aware of the rat studies but he said the studies were flawed. We asked him why and he responded with, "because they didn't give the rats parks". His answer was not to be flippant. He was dead serious. No, humans are not rats but the parallels are abundantly obvious.
History has shown us that people don't behave well when crammed together in big cities. Big cities have given us the "Blue" states. Big cities are bastions of socialism and government control. The population of big cities is mostly Socialist Democrats. Big cities, with their majorities, control the legislative process and give us legislators that support socialism, more laws and environmental extremism.
The people who inhabit big cities are more apt to believe whatever the government tells them. The current propaganda and mass hysteria of man-caused global warming is a prime example. It allows Al Gore and other climate alarmists to spew their insanity to a naive' "choir". Yes, big cities are large markets of consumers and bring us commerce that helps to fund the country. But we wonder if the price is worth it.
There is now a determined social justice and environmental protection agenda by American policy makers to cram more people into large cities under the United Nations Agenda 21 policies of smart growth and sustainable development. The Sierra Club, a powerful and wealthy environmental group, thinks that 50,000 people per square mile is the optimum density for big cities. That's 560 sq. ft. per person without buildings, roads, bridges and open space. Tokyo, the sixth largest city in the world, has only about 16,100 people per square mile. Shanghai, the largest city in the world, has only 9,900 people per square mile.
But this is the kind of city the socialist Democrats and radical environmentalists want us all to live. Under their dictatorial control, you can kiss off the American dream of owning a SINGLE-FAMILY HOME. They take up too much space and burn up too much electricity and natural gas.
Over-educated, government-paid planners spend all of their time in drafting acts, laws, rules, restrictions, regulations and ordinances to direct the movement of populations ever tighter into big cities. Draconian environmental protection laws are purposely designed to drive more people out of the rural areas and force them into big cities. The rural areas are to be protected at all costs, without regard to constitutional protections or the rights of rural landowners.
Hardest hit by all these socialist and environmental policies is the rural landowner. Every American landowner, urban or rural, is in a war for his or her very livelihood, freedom and survival. The hard fact is, the U. S. Supreme Court, lower courts and federal and state legislatures and bureaucracies have failed in their duty to preserve, protect and defend the constitutional property rights of American landowners, at the urging of socialist Democrats and radical environmentalists. The Congress, state legislatures, bureaucracies and the courts, occupied mostly by socialist Democrats, have allowed the regulators to run rough shod over the constitutional and sacred rights to own property.
Nevertheless, rural landowners still have rights, even though socialist Democrats are trying to take those rights away almost every day by Congressional legislation and bureaucratic rule making. The Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act are two of the more egregious pieces of legislation (law) that eat away at property rights, or eliminate those rights altogether. The enforcement of those laws by the Environmental Protection Agency (ESA) and the Army Corps of Engineers (CORPS) have fined or penalized people into bankruptcy, or landed them in jail for many years. You never hear of these tens of thousands of unconstitutional injustices on rural landowners from the mainstream media.
It follows then, that you can't protect yourself if you don't know your rights. For those interested in a deep dive into property rights and the TAKINGS clause, we encourage our readers to visit our two web pages, RIGHTS and TAKINGS. Remember, your first line of defense is your property line. For those interested in protecting their property from trespass by government agents, law enforcement and other intruders, click HERE.
Ladies and gentlemen, the world that the socialist Democrats want you to live in, is not an American Constitutional Republic world, it is a SOCIALIST dictatorship world where socialist Democrats are the dictators. They don't want you with individual rights, independent and free. Make no mistake, they want you dependent on government, broke and in chains. They want you to bow down to them as if they were Gods because they think they are Gods. Give them political power again with your vote and you WILL BE broke and in chains.

The socialist Democrats of America want to control your money, your land, your home, your power, your water, your food, your education and your health care. They want to control what you do, where you live, where you work, what you drive and what you wear. They even want to control your news and your entertainment. They have almost succeeded on all fronts.
These aren't new revelations. You have all heard them say it, on the campaign trail and in the recent debates. It gets worse every year as they troll for votes offering free "stuff" to a dumbed down electorate.
Besides wanting to control every aspect of our lives, the socialist Democrats openly advocate for open borders. They want to do away with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE. They want Medicare for all and wipe out private health care for 180,000,000 Americans. One of these insane asylum inmates (AOC) wants to close all of our prisons and let all the violent prisoners loose on society. They want free college for all students and free health care for illegal aliens. They want to take away our guns. They want to repeal the Electoral College so that eight (8) major cities in America, New York, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Philadelphia, San Antonio, San Diego and Los Angeles, would control the vote. They want to replace fossil fuels with wind and solar power, an insane idea and impossible. (See: "Why Wind And Solar Can Never Replace Fossil Fuels" by Paul Driessen)
Socialist Democrats and their deep state allies want all this and more, without regard to the consequences, the cost, or the devastating impact on individual freedom. The only thing that stands in their way is President Trump and the 63,000,000 Americans that voted for him. Will it be enough?
The socialist Democrat environmentalists want to cram all humans into big cities where they can be more easily controlled and wall off the rural areas for plants, trees, animals, birds, reptiles and insects. Humans are to be relegated to 25-story buildings in high dense urban cities and walk, or take mass transit, or their bicycles to work. Cars, the last bastion of the American freedom of movement, are to be discouraged, if not outlawed altogether under the Green "Insane" Deal.
Government and the environmentalists are forcing you to live in large apartment buildings in dense cities, or in houses with no yards. They are driving rural residents into large cities containing high stress traffic, high noise levels, high crime and high prices for everything. Just watch the 5 or 6 O'clock news and you will get a first-hand look at the deterioration of city life. Now just imagine what life will be like twenty or thirty years from now, in America's big cities.
But the behavior of individuals living tightly in big cities produces its own share of problems. High crime rates, intense noise and air and water pollution are just a few of the consequences. Big cities require large police forces to enforce laws and civility. Big cities dump their concentrated pollution on the environment and then expect everyone else to comply with their environmental protection rules, except them selves.
The city of Victoria, BC, Canada has been dumping millions of gallons of its raw, untreated sewage into the Straits of Juan de Fuca each day for decades. They are finally building a sewage treatment plant but only after years of immense international pressure.
Big cities are also dangerous places to be in times of war and natural disasters. Earthquakes, fires, floods and rapidly spreading diseases find ready victims in big cities, any one of which can produce huge losses of life. Most of the deaths occurring from the Black Plague, during the era of the Dark Ages, occurred in the cities where the concentrated garbage attracted the rats that carried the fleas that carried the disease.
During war, opposing enemies don't bomb the countryside, they bomb big cities where the manufacturing plants build the machines and weapons of war and where large populations of men, women and children can be killed to bring the enemy to its knees. Need we mention Hiroshima. Nagasaki, or Dresden in World War 2?
Man's need to congregate can sometimes work to his detriment.
But the other consequence of high-dense living is the steady lowering of the bar of civility, respect and trust. Human behavior changes under the conditions of living closer together. It does so because of a basic human need. No matter what the government, socialists, psychologists, environmentalists, or socialist Democrats will tell you, people like and need "their" space and the space does not come in a 1,000 sq. ft. apartment in a 25-story building, surrounded by concrete on all sides, in a big city. Suburbs became a partial answer to the human need for space. But then the suburbs began to increase in density as governments got into the act of "planning" where we live and work.
We attended a conference of real estate and planning folks several years ago in which a bunch of big city, over-educated planners were extolling the virtues of their profession; planned, high-dense urban cities. At the end of their speeches we asked them if they were aware of the study of rats versus density and what happens to the rats as density is increased. We knew that the studies showed that higher densities produce hostile behavior, depression, infanticide, suicide and cannibalism in the rats. As the rat density increases, aberrant behavior increases with it, dramatically.
One of the planners responded that he was aware of the rat studies but he said the studies were flawed. We asked him why and he responded with, "because they didn't give the rats parks". His answer was not to be flippant. He was dead serious. No, humans are not rats but the parallels are abundantly obvious.
History has shown us that people don't behave well when crammed together in big cities. Big cities have given us the "Blue" states. Big cities are bastions of socialism and government control. The population of big cities is mostly Socialist Democrats. Big cities, with their majorities, control the legislative process and give us legislators that support socialism, more laws and environmental extremism.
The people who inhabit big cities are more apt to believe whatever the government tells them. The current propaganda and mass hysteria of man-caused global warming is a prime example. It allows Al Gore and other climate alarmists to spew their insanity to a naive' "choir". Yes, big cities are large markets of consumers and bring us commerce that helps to fund the country. But we wonder if the price is worth it.
There is now a determined social justice and environmental protection agenda by American policy makers to cram more people into large cities under the United Nations Agenda 21 policies of smart growth and sustainable development. The Sierra Club, a powerful and wealthy environmental group, thinks that 50,000 people per square mile is the optimum density for big cities. That's 560 sq. ft. per person without buildings, roads, bridges and open space. Tokyo, the sixth largest city in the world, has only about 16,100 people per square mile. Shanghai, the largest city in the world, has only 9,900 people per square mile.
But this is the kind of city the socialist Democrats and radical environmentalists want us all to live. Under their dictatorial control, you can kiss off the American dream of owning a SINGLE-FAMILY HOME. They take up too much space and burn up too much electricity and natural gas.
Over-educated, government-paid planners spend all of their time in drafting acts, laws, rules, restrictions, regulations and ordinances to direct the movement of populations ever tighter into big cities. Draconian environmental protection laws are purposely designed to drive more people out of the rural areas and force them into big cities. The rural areas are to be protected at all costs, without regard to constitutional protections or the rights of rural landowners.
Hardest hit by all these socialist and environmental policies is the rural landowner. Every American landowner, urban or rural, is in a war for his or her very livelihood, freedom and survival. The hard fact is, the U. S. Supreme Court, lower courts and federal and state legislatures and bureaucracies have failed in their duty to preserve, protect and defend the constitutional property rights of American landowners, at the urging of socialist Democrats and radical environmentalists. The Congress, state legislatures, bureaucracies and the courts, occupied mostly by socialist Democrats, have allowed the regulators to run rough shod over the constitutional and sacred rights to own property.
Nevertheless, rural landowners still have rights, even though socialist Democrats are trying to take those rights away almost every day by Congressional legislation and bureaucratic rule making. The Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act are two of the more egregious pieces of legislation (law) that eat away at property rights, or eliminate those rights altogether. The enforcement of those laws by the Environmental Protection Agency (ESA) and the Army Corps of Engineers (CORPS) have fined or penalized people into bankruptcy, or landed them in jail for many years. You never hear of these tens of thousands of unconstitutional injustices on rural landowners from the mainstream media.

"Democrats Have and Are Tearing the Nuclear Family Asunder"
from "In Defense of Rural America"

and nationally recognized author and speaker on freedom and property rights issues

"You go through life wondering what is it all about but at the end of the day it's all about family." Rod Stewart
The glue that binds us all together is the bond forged in families - husband, wife and children. It is a powerful bond, held together by love, mutual respect and a large dose of pre-programmed genetics. The saying that "blood is thicker than water" gets it roots from the bond of family. Families are the natural order of life on this planet, at least for most mammals, but it is especially true for the human animal. The character of family for we humans is several orders of magnitude above our other earthly creatures and considerably more complex. Being complex, it leads to more complex problems.
Sure, family life is more complicated now than it was before, with both parents working to maintain their lifestyle and a schedule for children with education and ancillary activities that has gone way beyond what we used to do in the 1940's and 50's with sand-lot baseball and kick-the-can, without television or I phones.
And yes, our adopted contemporary lifestyle has weakened the bond of family a little and increased the complexity of daily life, but still our families survive and thrive, in spite of that lifestyle. Yes, our new lifestyle has fractured the family some and divorce rates are up, but even with the added strain, at least 50% of families still stay together. We need to work a little harder on getting the number of stay-together families higher because the damage on children in divorced families has an impact on the entire culture. But all things tend to run in cycles and it takes time to adapt to rapidly changing technology and the rapid pace of our lives.
Raising children in this environment is not easy, but when has raising children ever been easy? Still, the joy that children bring adults, or each other, is incalculable. The birth of newborns, babies first step or first word, joy during the holidays, the elation and pride that comes from achievements in school or sports, the first date, marriage and its promise ..... all difficult sometimes, but all very worthwhile in the cycle of life. Yes, raising teenagers increases the complexity of growing up with hormones on the rise and the wide swings in behavior that tests the metal of most parents.
In spite of these conditions that shake the very fibers of the nuclear family, those fibers and that bond are the true strength of America. Responsible families produce the current and next generation of thinkers, intellectuals, hard workers, producers, consumers and prayers. Some lose and some win, but most people that lose pick themselves up again and get back in the game .... sometimes all by themselves, sometimes with the help of family and sometimes in spite of family.
Sadly, the nuclear family has been under attack by socialist Democrats for at least the last 50 years. Rooted in the flawed ideology of IRRATIONAL COMPASSION, Democrats trolling for votes, have shattered the American family into what might be irretrevable pieces of a culture going sour.
Government welfare policies have told dads they are no longer needed in the family unit. Instead, irresponsible fathers are impregnating many women, women who end up having multiple babies from multiple fathers, an invitation to cultural collapse. Welfare mothers become trapped in an endless cycle of government dependency from which there is no escape. Children without fathers turn to crime and gang membership. Gangs clash with gangs and perpetuate gang wars with many times high death counts. Innocent children and adults are caught in the crossfire and become victims of cultures in decline, cultures turned violent. The black community has taken the hardest hit from this ill conceived, poorly managed, contrived government socialist policy with tragic results.
Chicago and Baltimore are just two cities where cultural collapse in heavily Black communities has led to interminable violence, killings and competing gangs. The police can't control it. Both failing cities are run by Democrats, as are the West Coast Cities of Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles, where crime, homeless encampments are on the rise with no solution in sight. The city of Seattle has a policy of not prosecuting smaller crimes. According to a recent report, out of 1,800 property, drugs and related crimes, the City of Seattle prosecutors only prosecuted roughly 800, letting 1,000 criminals back on the streets to repeat their crimes. All these "do gooder" socialist Democrat policies eat away at the American family and are based on the flawed policy of "survival crime" where society says it is OK for people down on their luck to steal or do drugs without penalties.
Socialist Democrats have taken over our public schools and colleges with curriculums designed by socialists. Under these curriculums history is altered to fit the socialist mantra. Capitalism, free markets, free choice, individual freedom and personal responsibility, all American principles, are ignored. They are replaced with social and environmental justice, collectivism, multiculturalism, political correctness and double speak. These flawed policies are embedded in all of our institutions to the point that the average American, after three generations of brainwashing, believes that what they see and experience are normal.
Socialist Democrats are especially intent on changing the natural order. The natural order, in a civilized society, is one man, one woman and the offspring that comes from that union. To cement that union man invented marriage, marriage between one man and one woman. It has been the natural order for at least two millennia and it has served man particularly well. Any other derivative of this type of union is in direct conflict with the natural order. We don't approach the issue from a biblical perspective. We approach it from a one-man, one-woman marriage's highly functional practicality. Nevertheless, we have a great respect for those who believe in the roots and sanctity of marriage between one man and one woman, as coming from a Supreme Being. Who are we to challenge the prevailing wisdom?
That bond of family is even stronger under the umbrella of freedom and it is that bond that will allow Americans to hold onto their freedom. In the end, it is the ultimate responsibility of the parents in the family to pass on the heritage of our freedom and liberty to their children, even if our public school system isn't doing it. It is the family's responsibility to teach their children about the documents that established that freedom and how important it is to preserve, protect and defend those documents. The preservation of freedom lies with each individual but each individual's drive to preserve freedom is best nourished in the safe environment of a loving family.
It is up to the parents of the family to initiate the conversations about freedom and America's founding documents. It is up to the parents to show their children the rich heritage of this great nation and learn about those who sacrificed so much that we might live free. With most families having one or more computers and access to the Internet, the information about America is literally at the family's fingertips. Talk about these issues when you gather together for holidays. But the most effective environment in which to discuss America is right at the dinner table when all are gathered to share the evening meal and the day's experiences, that is if family members can tear themselves away from the obsession of their I phones for a short while.
To help in those family discussions, we have assembled a large body of documents about American freedom dating back to Aristotle and Plato and from the Magna Carta to John Locke and from the Declaration of Independence to the Federalist Papers and finally to the Constitution. Included are the Madison debates on the Constitution and the powerful benefits of Capitalism, plus much more. We call this body of documents our "Empowerment Package" and it is available on our website HERE. This information would fit right in with those that home school. It is indeed unfortunate, but your children are not learning to understand the history of American freedom in their public schools.
President Reagan stated that, "freedom is only one generation away from extinction." If American families care about the preservation of our liberty and American sovereignty, they must teach their children about freedom, so that it is carried on from generation to generation, or freedom will die and our culture of liberty and our very sovereignty will be absorbed into a socialist nightmare and the one-world-order without a shot being fired. America will become but a footnote in some history book that will improperly paint America as some strange anomaly that could have never lasted very long anyway. Americans need to do everything in their power to see that that footnote is never written. Losing is not an option.

The glue that binds us all together is the bond forged in families - husband, wife and children. It is a powerful bond, held together by love, mutual respect and a large dose of pre-programmed genetics. The saying that "blood is thicker than water" gets it roots from the bond of family. Families are the natural order of life on this planet, at least for most mammals, but it is especially true for the human animal. The character of family for we humans is several orders of magnitude above our other earthly creatures and considerably more complex. Being complex, it leads to more complex problems.
Sure, family life is more complicated now than it was before, with both parents working to maintain their lifestyle and a schedule for children with education and ancillary activities that has gone way beyond what we used to do in the 1940's and 50's with sand-lot baseball and kick-the-can, without television or I phones.
And yes, our adopted contemporary lifestyle has weakened the bond of family a little and increased the complexity of daily life, but still our families survive and thrive, in spite of that lifestyle. Yes, our new lifestyle has fractured the family some and divorce rates are up, but even with the added strain, at least 50% of families still stay together. We need to work a little harder on getting the number of stay-together families higher because the damage on children in divorced families has an impact on the entire culture. But all things tend to run in cycles and it takes time to adapt to rapidly changing technology and the rapid pace of our lives.
Raising children in this environment is not easy, but when has raising children ever been easy? Still, the joy that children bring adults, or each other, is incalculable. The birth of newborns, babies first step or first word, joy during the holidays, the elation and pride that comes from achievements in school or sports, the first date, marriage and its promise ..... all difficult sometimes, but all very worthwhile in the cycle of life. Yes, raising teenagers increases the complexity of growing up with hormones on the rise and the wide swings in behavior that tests the metal of most parents.
In spite of these conditions that shake the very fibers of the nuclear family, those fibers and that bond are the true strength of America. Responsible families produce the current and next generation of thinkers, intellectuals, hard workers, producers, consumers and prayers. Some lose and some win, but most people that lose pick themselves up again and get back in the game .... sometimes all by themselves, sometimes with the help of family and sometimes in spite of family.
Sadly, the nuclear family has been under attack by socialist Democrats for at least the last 50 years. Rooted in the flawed ideology of IRRATIONAL COMPASSION, Democrats trolling for votes, have shattered the American family into what might be irretrevable pieces of a culture going sour.
Government welfare policies have told dads they are no longer needed in the family unit. Instead, irresponsible fathers are impregnating many women, women who end up having multiple babies from multiple fathers, an invitation to cultural collapse. Welfare mothers become trapped in an endless cycle of government dependency from which there is no escape. Children without fathers turn to crime and gang membership. Gangs clash with gangs and perpetuate gang wars with many times high death counts. Innocent children and adults are caught in the crossfire and become victims of cultures in decline, cultures turned violent. The black community has taken the hardest hit from this ill conceived, poorly managed, contrived government socialist policy with tragic results.
Chicago and Baltimore are just two cities where cultural collapse in heavily Black communities has led to interminable violence, killings and competing gangs. The police can't control it. Both failing cities are run by Democrats, as are the West Coast Cities of Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles, where crime, homeless encampments are on the rise with no solution in sight. The city of Seattle has a policy of not prosecuting smaller crimes. According to a recent report, out of 1,800 property, drugs and related crimes, the City of Seattle prosecutors only prosecuted roughly 800, letting 1,000 criminals back on the streets to repeat their crimes.

"Mable, I Don't Get It. What Happened To America?"
from "In Defense of Rural America"

OLD GEORGE AND MABLE LAMENT TODAY'S AMERICA
George: "You know Mable, we've been married almost 60 years and I look around and nothing seems the same any more. Oh sure, we're surrounded by the little things that we've collected over the years that make our house a home and connect us to the memories of our life, but the world outside has become foreign to me. I don't recognize any of it. This is not the America we grew up in. What happened to America?"
Mable: "Now George, don't get yourself all upset about things you can't change. You have high blood pressure and you're taking medicine for your heart. The last time you got all worked up, you started getting chest pains and we had to call the doctor."
George: "I don't care Mable! Something's dreadfully wrong and I don't know how to fix it and that makes me frustrated and angry. We went through a World War and I understood that. There was clarity in that War. We lived through the 50's and 60's and we were relatively happy. Our only fear at that time was the threat of nuclear war. We trusted people, we didn't lock our doors at night and we left the keys in the ignition. Then in the 70's, 80's and 90's America started going off the rail with rising socialism and radical environmentalism ..... and corruption. It has gotten several magnitudes worse in the first 19 years of the 21st Century."
"Today, there's no clarity at all, just conflict and confusion, along with questions we can't answer and problems we can't solve. Legal and illegal immigration is out of control to the detriment of our culture and the rule of law. Most legal and illegal immigrants just want to benefit from our riches, with no thought of assimilating into our culture or speaking our language. Cities, counties and states are tearing the nation apart with sanctuary jurisdictions for illegal aliens."
"Obama care disrupted American health care and made it so complicated and costly, that it is now politically unfixable. Instead, the current crop of Democrat presidential candidates want to double down on Obama Care and make it worse by passing Medicare For All. That's nuts, if not insane! Democrats also want to give free health care to illegal aliens and take away our cars, cows and airplanes."
"Mass shooting into crowds has almost become a weekly occurrence. Crime in our inner cities is rampant. Little girls and boys and teenagers are targets for sexual predators and you have to watch them 24 hours a day just to keep them safe."
"Our public schools and colleges are institutions of brainwashing and indoctrination for socialist and radical environmental special interests, instead of centers of learning."
"Climate change has become the new world plan to extract as much money as government can from the masses and take away their freedoms, but it seems only in America, as if America was somehow evil. The third world polluting nations, like China and India, get off scot-free."
"Technology has turned adults and even very young children into Iphone obsessive zombies with their heads down in a permanent bow, punching letters of the alphabet with their thumbs on a horizontal screen, like tribal aborigines pounding drums. I could go on but I'm already warn out."
Mable: "Yes, I know George but at our age, what can we do about it? We live OK, but we don't have a lot of money to go off chasing causes, or trying to get people to act in a different way, or making the government live up to its duties and responsibilities. You and I are old and we don't have the energy or the resources to fight any more. What can we do?
George: "Well we can't just sit by and let America be destroyed right under our feet by politicians that have morphed into traitors. There's too much at stake. The lives of our children and grandchildren will be turned up side down or reduced to slavery if something isn't done to restore the America we remembered when we were growing up. We owe our offspring no less."
Mable: "But George, I just want to live out the rest of my life with you in peace, without conflict and fighting. If you get involved in this struggle, you'll bring disharmony into our home. And by the way you're just one man. How can you change the terrible things that are going on around us? You didn't cause them so why must you be the one to fix them?"
George: "Mable, remember your history. One man wrote the Declaration of Independence and one man led an army to defeat the British in the Revolutionary War. One man invented the light bulb and another gave us electricity. Over 2,000 years ago one man spawned Christianity by his acts of honor and virtue and it changed the world forever. One man has been changing the world since civilization began. Am I that one man? I don't know. Maybe! But I'm compelled to do something, even if it's just a token of what needs to be done and even if I'm old and feeble. If there were enough 'tokens' like me, we might actually make a difference. If I stand up, maybe I can get others to stand up with me."
Mable: "Ok George, but where are you going to start? Who are you going to get to help you? What will you fix first, that is if you could?"
George: "I'm not sure yet, but the first thing that has to be fixed is the system, because if the system isn't working, nothing can be fixed and the system isn't working. It is hopelessly corrupt. The political and ideological divisions between the two sides have grown so far apart that I fear only violence can bridge the gap. Their differences make them impotent to effect any real change. The acrimony between the political players is so volatile neither side will compromise for fear of giving up some of their power to the other side. But worse than that, one side has moved so far away from America's founding principles as to render them almost treasonous if not virtual traitors. There can be no compromising with them."
Mable: "So what do you want to do George, start an organization, or join an existing one?"
George: "Hell, I don't know Mable. I'm at a point in my life when I forget names and faces and then I can't remember if I pulled my zipper up ..... or I pulled it down. I walk into a room and I can't remember why I went there. I'm having trouble remembering simple words and I replace them with my mouth wide open, uttering gibberish. I can't open those childproof medicine caps anymore and our new car is so complicated I'm almost afraid to drive it. There are all these apps on my cell phone and I don't even know what an app is or what it does. I find myself telling the same stories over and over again to the same people. I don't like traffic, waiting for anything, large crowds, or stupid politicians and most of them are stupid, or corrupt, or both. And I have little tolerance for trivia and non-sense. How am I supposed to start an organization, or even join one?"
Mable: "Maybe you could talk our son or grandson into helping you."
George: "No, they're both too busy with their business, work, sports and raising a family. I can't believe how busy they are. We were never that busy when we were growing up and when we were raising our kids. Anyhow, their generation and the generations before them have bought into a socialist world because the damn schools don't teach our kids about freedom, the Founding Fathers, the Revolution, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, or why they matter. They teach them about the virtues of socialism and multi-culturalism and the mandates of radical environmentalism. They brainwash them with climate change. What's worse, the parents are clueless. The last two or three generations don't know what freedom is and have accepted the life we live today as normal, along with all the complications, conflicts, confusion and high tech. Why should they fight if they don't see any reason to fight?"
Mable: "So what's the answer George? If no one will help you, you're just wasting your time and getting all worked up about something you can't change. The anger, tension and frustration could shorten what's left of your life. Then you'll leave me all alone. What will I do, if you're not here? I love you but how can I love you if you're not here to love?"
George: "I don't know Mable. I'm torn between wanting to do something that makes a difference and just bagging the whole idea. I feel like what Billy Crystal joked: 'By the time I'm wise enough to watch my step, I'm too old to go anywhere.'"
Mable: "Well George, why don't you just take a nap and forget this idea of changing the world for a while. You'll feel better when you wake up. With a clear head maybe another idea will come to you, you know, like cleaning the garage."
Later that night George and Mable climbed into bed. George was almost asleep when Mable said, "You know, when we were courting, you liked to hold my hand."
Wearily, George reaches across the covers and holds her hand for a few seconds and then rolls over and tries to go back to sleep.
A few moments later Mable says, "After that, you used to kiss me softly."
Somewhat irritated, George turns back towards Mable and gives her a peck on the cheek. Once again, he tries to go back to sleep.
Not long after, just as George starts to enter REM sleep, Mable whispers, "Then after that, you used to bite me lightly on the neck."
Suddenly, George throws back the covers and gets out of bed.
"Where are you going?" Mable asks."
Over his shoulder George shouts, "Where do you think? I'm going to get my teeth!"

Author's Note: Every one of us has a perspective limited to the amount of time we have lived and the experiences and knowledge we have accumulated at any given moment. We discuss that in our "Little Black Box" Theory article. Young people from 18 to 30 have a limited perspective of life and realities, simply because their time on this planet is limited by their age. Most people grow wiser as those years increase and as more experience and knowledge is absorbed. Thus it follows that seniors, those over 65 and on up into their 70's, 80's and 90's, have a much broader perspective of life and realities. Their extensive experiences allow them to observe trends and directions of their culture. What they see from those trends, they don't like. Unfortunately, the vagaries and infirmities that come with age preclude them from acting on what they know, as our above story about George and Mable relate. The fact is, the seniors in our midst contain the vast majority of the wisdom and experience of the current generation. Their counsel should be sought by those of younger years and they should be honored, respected and revered.

Thus it follows that seniors, those over 65 and on up into their 70's, 80's and 90's, have a much broader perspective of life and realities. Their extensive experiences allow them to observe trends and directions of their culture. What they see from those trends, they don't like. Unfortunately, the vagaries and infirmities that come with age preclude them from acting on what they know, as our above story about George and Mable relate. The fact is, the seniors in our midst contain the vast majority of the wisdom and experience of the current generation. Their counsel should be sought by those of younger years and they should be honored, respected and revered.

"Demographics Will Eventually Destroy Our Founding-Father's Republic"

Statistics is a well-established, mathematical discipline. Its accuracy in predicting large-scale phenomenon by collecting and analyzing huge volumes of relevant data is pretty much an accepted science. The U. S. Census Bureau engages in statistical analysis to predict population trends for many government purposes. Their predictions for population distribution by age, gender, ethnicity and birth and death rates over the next several decades should send shivers down the backs of freedom-loving Americans. Based on those predictions, holding on to America's sovereignty and its Constitutional Republic may be virtually impossible. America is aging and aging rapidly. That fact alone has huge implications on America's future.
But that's not all. The population is increasing rapidly as well. Today, America's population is around 326,000,000. By 2058, the population will top 400,000,000, according to the prognosticators. How do you govern 400,000,000 people without infringing on the rights of the individual? The fact is, you can't. Crime will grow, especially in inner cities so more cops, judges, courts and jails will be needed. More medical facilities will be an absolute necessity to care for the increasing elderly population. Artificial intelligence will be replacing jobs, so more people will be out of work requiring more unemployment and welfare benefits. With less people working and paying taxes, the national debt will rise to heights no one thought possible, as America borrows its way into national bankruptcy due to the Democrat socialists' insane and suicidal policy of IRRATIONAL COMPASSION.
In 1950, Americans over 65 years of age represented only 8% of the total population. In 2017, they represented 17.6%, more than a doubling in 67 years. According to "Statista 2019" by 2050, seniors over 65 will represent 22.1%. By 2035 seniors over 65 will surpass the number of children in America.
Social Security is slowly running out of workers to support the growing number of seniors. Today there are 2.9 workers for every retiree. By the year 2030 it is predicted that there will only be 2 workers for every retiree. When Social Security dropped below 3 workers per retiree, the system became unstable. According to the latest Social Security Trustee Report, the SS trust fund will be exhausted by 2033. Then what?
What is not reflected in the raw statistics is the degree of dependency on medical and government services for seniors that will rise dramatically as people enter their 70's, 80's and 90's. As the population ages, the need and cost of servicing an aging population rises exponentially since the largest share of medical services occur as seniors approach end of life.
Medicare (established in 1965) was supposed to be the panacea to pay for the health care of those over 65 for many decades to come. However, the Medicare Hospital Insurance Trust Fund, Part A, will be depleted by 2026. In other words, it will be out of money. What then?
Total Medicare expenditures represent 15% of total federal spending. Medicare spending is expected to grow at an annual rate of 5.1% over the next decade. If the annual federal budget is $4 Trillion, American taxpayers and Medicare recipients are paying $600 Billion for Medicare, scheduled to rise by 5.1% ($30.6 Billion) every year for the next 10 years.
Medicare is a social (socialist) federally funded program from taxpayer dollars and insurance premiums deducted from social security payments. But as the population ages, significant changes will have to be instituted to save Medicare. Age limits and premiums will have to be increased and benefits decreased. After that will come health care rationing for seniors, because rationing is a direct result of government-run health care.
Medicare recipients (over 65) are a huge voting block and can influence any election that has a medical component that would affect Medicare benefits. That includes presidents. Most aging seniors don't care about the Constitution or individual freedom. They care about staying alive by relying on government services. That's socialism.
Now just imagine if the socialist-Democrats regain power in both Houses and win the Presidency in 2020 and they pass Medicare For All. Estimated costs for Medicare For All range from $28 Trillion to $32 Trillion over a decade. That's $2.8 Trillion to $3.2 Trillion per year. This cost would almost double the government's annual budget to over $7 Trillion, or 34% of the Gross Domestic Product of $20.5 Trillion. Where is the money going to come from to pay for this doubling of the federal budget? Right out of the pockets of the middle class in the form of massive tax increases. If you think your taxes are bad now, just wait until your socialist Democrats seize control of the United States of America!
The rise in Medicare costs due to aging of the population does not include the explosive growth in Medicaid, health care for the poor and a socialist government program. Federal Medicaid spending represents 10% of the federal budget. That equals about $400 Billion. The federal cost of Medicare and Medicaid together surpasses the $1 Trillion mark annually.
Aging of the population and the cost to taxpayers to pay for it all is not the only thing that will affect our Founding Father's Republic. Let's look at the changing Demographics on ethnicity.
White birth rates are 57.2 per 1,000 women and are dropping. White European men and women built America and gave us the foundation of individual liberty and unalienable rights. Whites vote 44% Democrat.
In contrast, Black birth rates are 63.1 per 1,000 women and rising. Blacks vote 90%+ Democrat. Blacks are still suffering from decades of discrimination and most blacks will look to government (socialist Democrats) to solve their problems and they will want the taxpayer to pay for whatever it costs. That's socialism.
Hispanic birth rates are 67.6 per 1,000 women and they are also rising. Hispanics vote 69% Democrat. Many Hispanics come from poor countries that have for centuries been dependent on government in one form or another. Looking to government to solve individual problems is second nature to them and they will vote accordingly.
The effects of unchecked illegal Central American and Mexican immigration and 14th Amendment anchor babies will ultimately be part of the changing political mindset towards more socialism. It is unavoidable and under the current political climate, unstoppable.
On top of all this we have rising drug and alcohol addiction and mental illness that will require billions and billions of taxpayer money to treat. American culture is on the decline, brought about by its own prosperity.
Over 80% of the population in America, live in big cities. Big cities, by their very nature, lean heavily towards socialism. The fact is, a hungry belly has nothing to lose by petitioning (or protesting) their government for a handout. If people are hungry enough, they have nothing to lose by resorting to violence. They either turn to the government or they turn to crime. The government is all-too-willing to provide that assistance in return for votes and thus socialism was born in big cities and socialism is where big cities are today. Way too many people live in big cities and are incapable of helping themselves when times get tough. Government thrives and grows on big-city dependency.
Then there is a steady drumbeat of socialism and radical environmentalism in our public schools and colleges. America's children and even their parents have been brainwashed with special interest socialist and environmental agendas for at least the last two generations. That includes the flawed science of climate change. Is anyone stopping it? No!
Blacks and Hispanics are growing faster than Whites and will eventually be such a large voting block they will overwhelm those Americans that still believe in a Constitutional Republic and the vision of the Founding Fathers. This ethnic socialist voting block, coupled with the over 65 Medicare crowd and big-city voters, will be a force so large as to render the Conservative vote impotent. Since our government representatives are nothing more than a mirror of the population, a socialist America is a foregone conclusion.
Now add to the unavoidable effects of changing population demographics, the move towards world government and the impacts of the massive funding for the alleged crisis of climate change and other ill conceived, insanely expensive socialist programs. These will forever change the character of America away from the foundation of its liberty and national sovereignty. The recent worldwide protests demanding governments do something about climate change just shows how effective the national and international socialist Democrats have been in brainwashing an entire planet for a government fraud.
America will eventually merge into a socialist and radical environmental one-world mentality and its exceptionalism resulting from its early freedom will fade into some page in a history book, labeled under failed government experiments.
There is no way to stop Americans from aging. There appears to be no way to stop the drop in white birth rates and the rise of Black and Hispanic birth rates. The slow, cultural disintegration of the black community won't stop until black fathers come back into the family. Single black women with children (70%) will always turn to government for subsistence. They live in a socialist, dependency bubble from which there is little chance of escape.
We might be able to slow the process down if we could get a handle on illegal immigration by closing our borders and removing the magnets that are enticing illegal aliens to migrate to America in the first place. But that would require the cooperation of the Democrats to drastically strengthen the asylum policies and repeal chain migration and visa lotteries. In addition, a U. S. Supreme Court decision would be required to remove the anchor baby interpretation. To have any appreciable effect, it would also entail the massive deportation of all illegal aliens that now reside in America. Not one of these actions is likely to happen in the foreseeable future, if ever.
It is quite likely that the reader won't accept what we have presented in this article and they may reject it out of hand. Nevertheless, as the reader sits there pondering these inescapable demographic realities, he or she may begin to wonder why even waste the time and effort to try to stop something that in all likelihood is a fait accompli? How can you preserve, much less defend, something that is un-preservable simply because of cold, hard, impersonal demographics, over which you have no control?
The only conclusion that one can come to is that either a man-made (civil war or revolution) or natural disaster has any chance of stopping the demographic avalanche from happening. The only other possibility is by some feat of magic a minority (freedom-loving Americans) can somehow convince the socialist majority that they are unknowingly headed down a path towards destruction, national oblivion and enslavement.
Sadly, we are no longer Americans for America and freedom's sake. The vast majority of Americans have become non-thinking members of a constituency-voting block, voting or lobbying for things they can get FROM government for free, (at taxpayer expense) or protesting against government for things that government is proposing to take away. Politicians have become nothing more than snake oil salesmen selling their soul for your vote by promising to give you something that isn't theirs to give so that they can remain in power.
It gives us no pleasure to bring these inescapable realities into your living room. But we deal in realities, not wish lists or myths and the reality is: "Demographics Will Eventually Destroy Our Founding-Father's Republic", if we let it.
Is there hope that we can somehow override this Demographic Armageddon? Of course, there is always hope, but only if conservatives act in unison and with one voice against the steep rise of Democratic Socialism.
Or, as Winston Churchill said: "You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” We're in that camp!

"Small Efforts Can't Stop Congressional Gridlock Or The Deep State"
from "In Defense of Rural America"
By Ron Ewart, President of the
National Association of Rural Landowners

DAVID vs. GOLIATH
“What the Israelites saw, from high on the ridge, was an intimidating giant. In reality, the very thing that gave the giant his size was also the source of his greatest weakness. There is an important lesson in that for battles with all kinds of giants. The powerful and the strong are not always what they seem.”
― Malcolm Gladwell, David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants
Yes, as the biblical story is told, David dispatched Goliath the giant with just a slingshot, a stone and a staff. In reality, the event is an anomaly. In the art of war, any general will tell you that only an overwhelming force will vanquish an inferior force. Guerilla warfare, hit-and-run tactics and adequate supply lines can play a part in the outcome but in the end the army with the most money, the most powerful weapons, the best-trained soldiers, well-tested leadership and the best strategy will secure a victory. That is exactly how America and its allies won World War 2.
One of the best strategies for winning is exploiting the enemy's weaknesses. It cannot be stressed enough that "big government" has many weaknesses. They are cumbersome, indecisive, inefficient and slow to move. Government is also a big target. Wherever you aim you are going to draw blood. Remember, the ancient Plains Indians brought down huge Mastodons with just arrows and spears. A Mastodon is many times larger than a single Indian, but there were many Indians for every Mastodon. Later, the Indians would bring down the giant Buffalo in the same fashion.
Approaching a battle without sufficient quantities of men, materials and money is a fool's errand. That is the dilemma Americans face today when confronting institutional government corruption, Congressional gridlock and the unseen power of the Deep State.
There are thousands of freedom advocate organizations all throughout America, along with conservative radio and TV. God bless them. Their motives are pure and their mission is usually well defined. They hold meetings and conferences that produce nothing but making the leadership and the members feel good. Sadly, the best they can do is to nip at the heels of the "enemy", which only draws attention from the enemy and brings extra scrutiny on the organization. Or, as in the case of the many conservative organizations that rose up during the Obama Administration, heavy resistance, abuse and harassment from and by the Internal Revenue Service.
We are well aware of this scrutiny as our NARLO website is monitored regularly by the "United States", the "U. S. Government" and the "U. S. Military." If we write a controversial article, (and most of them are) the hits and visits from these three entities rise dramatically.
Unfortunately, all these well-meaning freedom advocate groups are too small, fractured, uncoordinated and disconnected from all the other freedom advocate groups. They are in effect, trying to stop a supertanker with a rowboat. Just think what they could do if they were well funded, organized under one leadership and one mission, with thousands of rowboats all lined up to stop the supertanker (government).
The national "Tea Party" movement was the beginning of a step in the right direction. But alas, the movement has fallen off the radar, become fractured and embroiled in petty squabbles. Their effectiveness as a roadblock against growing government corruption, Congressional gridlock and the power of the deep state has been severely diminished, if it exists at all.
You might think that all of the conservative think tanks in America might be able to slow down the rise of government power, but you would be wrong. Out of the 50 or so conservative think tanks, the Heritage Foundation, the Cato Institute and the Heartland Institute stand out as influential organizations that should be able to provide conservative counsel and policy papers to the Congress or the president and put significant pressure to steer America away from growing socialism and towards the foundations of our liberty, as envisioned by the Founding Fathers. Once again, you would be wrong. These organizations are well funded and pay millions of dollars to learned professors who give speeches, write scholarly papers and give expert testimony to Congress. Nevertheless, even they have been unable to stop the socialism avalanche and the growing concentration of federal power.
When a government grows more powerful, as the American government has, its power feeds upon itself and it becomes arrogant and secretive. The more secretive it becomes the more it will silence those who want to expose the secrecy. It becomes a power unto itself and eventually, it will refuse to recognize any restraints or limits. We are dangerously close to this condition, if in fact we aren't there already. The final condition is absolute power.
This political "power" over the people is being controlled by one president, 435 Representatives in the U. S. House, 100 Senators in the U. S. Senate, 9 justices on the U. S. Supreme Court, half a hundred federal bureaucracies that apparently answer to no one and lobby groups that spend millions of dollars every year to get Congress to yield to their demands. 545 politicians and the un-elected directors of the federal bureaucracies are controlling 330,000,000 Americans. Since the adults of that 330,000,000 people get to vote, you would think that it wouldn't be that difficult to control 545 politicians and the un-elected directors of the federal bureaucracies. Once again, you would be wrong.
But tragically, the American people are hopelessly divided, divided between those (the producers) that are self-reliant, productive, independent and responsible and those (the takers) who are surviving off of the productivity of the producers, producers that are forced to do so by an all-too powerful government that recognizes very few restraints or limits on its power. Unfortunately, the takers can vote themselves a share of the producer's productivity and the producers don't have enough votes to counter the takers' plurality, with the politicians exploiting the takers' vote to increase their power. In effect, the producers become indentured servants to the takers by force of law. This condition becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy and the number of takers grows and grows until it overwhelms the ability of the producers to "feed" the growing number of takers. As a result, the national debt rises.
But this issue has been hashed and re-hashed so many times by so many different authors it has become boring. What's the solution? What can the producers do so that they don't end up slaves to the takers? How do the producers break up the cabal between the government, the lobbyists and the takers? How do they sever the entangled ties between big government, big business, big labor and the one-world-order crowd that want to dissolve American sovereignty, steal our wealth and resources, cut off our energy, repeal parental rights, abort babies after they are born and confiscate our land, with our own government's assistance?
Remember the town hall meetings in August of 2009, where the people displayed their anger over the impending Obama care legislation? That was about the time the grass roots Tea Party erupted on the national stage. Although these events led to a resounding defeat for House Democrats in the 2010 election, we still got Obama care, an abysmal government failure. Apparently, the 2009 town hall anger and the defeat of a few House Democrats wasn't enough to make a needed course correction to avoid a national path towards socialism that will surely lead to economic collapse, chaos and anarchy, just like Argentina and Venezuela.
The government and the takers seem hell bent on propelling us into socialism and there is no current political will with enough political power to change our suicidal direction. So how do we trigger a course correction that will truly be effective in restoring our freedom, our national pride and prevent the dissolution of American sovereignty? We haven't been able to do it at the voting booth. The takers have an apparent plurality, aided and abetted by the news media, academia and most Democrats. And even if all 545 politicians were replaced with new blood, would that in itself be enough to slow down the run-away train we are on? Not if the politicians pander to the takers in order to keep being re-elected because the takers have the most votes.
So the solution becomes changing the national mindset of the people on a large enough scale, such that the politicians will end up doing the right thing in the interest of saving America from murdering itself ..... OR, the solution could be a dedicated minority that will "Declare Open Resistance" against growing government tyranny and will have the commitment and courage to stir the pot so vigorously, at every level of government, that the national mindset will have to shift towards survival rather than self-induced suicide. That's a tall order.
In the 12-step AA program, the first step is to recognize and acknowledge that there is a problem. The next 11 steps provide a blue print on how to "fix" the problem. If an afflicted person won't acknowledge the first step, the next 11 are moot. And so it is with our national dilemma. If we won't acknowledge we have a problem, any steps to fix a problem we won't even recognize, are dead on arrival.
To not recognize that America is in a state of decay and decline and headed for national bankruptcy, is putting one's head in the sand. However, if you are a taker, you don't care, just so long as the government checks arrive at your mailbox, or appears as a direct deposit to your checking account and you get to vote to keep the checks coming. This does not apply to Social Security or Medicare recipients because they were forced by government to pay into the account that now pays them.
However, as a producer, with your income steadily declining to pay for the takers and free loaders, the problem is paramount. You know that even if government took all of your income, it would never be enough. This run-away insanity has to stop and stop soon if national collapse is to be avoided.
There is only one peaceful solution to the dilemma facing freedom-loving Americans. The 63,000,000 Americans that voted for Donald Trump, or a very large fraction thereof, must coalesce under one leadership and one mission statement. They must speak with one large voice on all contentious issues and they must provide a list of demands to government from which they will not waiver. Anything less is a waste to time and money.
We grow weary of TV pundits and politicians saying, "We have to do something" when that "something" is in the hands of the "president, 435 Representatives in the U. S. House, 100 Senators in the U. S. Senate, 9 justices on the U. S. Supreme Court, half a hundred federal bureaucracies that apparently answer to no one and lobby groups that spend millions of dollars every year to get Congress to yield to their demands." But this racketeering cabal of politicians, judges, bureaucrats and lobbyists no longer work for and on behalf of the interests of all Americans, or America as a sovereign nation. Trump is trying but he is up against significant odds.
So once again, the solution is in the hands of the people .... if they are courageous, committed, dedicated and willing to sacrifice. Unfortunately, the people have yet to realize that they are the real DAVID and they can't be stopped by a "cumbersome, indecisive, inefficient and slow to move GOLIATH."

“What the Israelites saw, from high on the ridge, was an intimidating giant. In reality, the very thing that gave the giant his size was also the source of his greatest weakness. There is an important lesson in that for battles with all kinds of giants. The powerful and the strong are not always what they seem.”
― Malcolm Gladwell, David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants
Yes, as the biblical story is told, David dispatched Goliath the giant with just a slingshot, a stone and a staff. In reality, the event is an anomaly. In the art of war, any general will tell you that only an overwhelming force will vanquish an inferior force. Guerilla warfare, hit-and-run tactics and adequate supply lines can play a part in the outcome but in the end the army with the most money, the most powerful weapons, the best-trained soldiers, well-tested leadership and the best strategy will secure a victory. That is exactly how America and its allies won World War 2.
One of the best strategies for winning is exploiting the enemy's weaknesses. It cannot be stressed enough that "big government" has many weaknesses. They are cumbersome, indecisive, inefficient and slow to move. Government is also a big target. Wherever you aim you are going to draw blood. Remember, the ancient Plains Indians brought down huge Mastodons with just arrows and spears. A Mastodon is many times larger than a single Indian, but there were many Indians for every Mastodon. Later, the Indians would bring down the giant Buffalo in the same fashion.
Approaching a battle without sufficient quantities of men, materials and money is a fool's errand. That is the dilemma Americans face today when confronting institutional government corruption, Congressional gridlock and the unseen power of the Deep State.
There are thousands of freedom advocate organizations all throughout America, along with conservative radio and TV. God bless them. Their motives are pure and their mission is usually well defined. They hold meetings and conferences that produce nothing but making the leadership and the members feel good. Sadly, the best they can do is to nip at the heels of the "enemy", which only draws attention from the enemy and brings extra scrutiny on the organization. Or, as in the case of the many conservative organizations that rose up during the Obama Administration, heavy resistance, abuse and harassment from and by the Internal Revenue Service.
We are well aware of this scrutiny as our NARLO website is monitored regularly by the "United States", the "U. S. Government" and the "U. S. Military." If we write a controversial article, (and most of them are) the hits and visits from these three entities rise dramatically.
Unfortunately, all these well-meaning freedom advocate groups are too small, fractured, uncoordinated and disconnected from all the other freedom advocate groups. They are in effect, trying to stop a supertanker with a rowboat. Just think what they could do if they were well funded, organized under one leadership and one mission, with thousands of rowboats all lined up to stop the supertanker (government).
The national "Tea Party" movement was the beginning of a step in the right direction. But alas, the movement has fallen off the radar, become fractured and embroiled in petty squabbles. Their effectiveness as a roadblock against growing government corruption, Congressional gridlock and the power of the deep state has been severely diminished, if it exists at all.
You might think that all of the conservative think tanks in America might be able to slow down the rise of government power, but you would be wrong. Out of the 50 or so conservative think tanks, the Heritage Foundation, the Cato Institute and the Heartland Institute stand out as influential organizations that should be able to provide conservative counsel and policy papers to the Congress or the president and put significant pressure to steer America away from growing socialism and towards the foundations of our liberty, as envisioned by the Founding Fathers. Once again, you would be wrong. These organizations are well funded and pay millions of dollars to learned professors who give speeches, write scholarly papers and give expert testimony to Congress. Nevertheless, even they have been unable to stop the socialism avalanche and the growing concentration of federal power.
When a government grows more powerful, as the American government has, its power feeds upon itself and it becomes arrogant and secretive. The more secretive it becomes the more it will silence those who want to expose the secrecy. It becomes a power unto itself and eventually, it will refuse to recognize any restraints or limits. We are dangerously close to this condition, if in fact we aren't there already. The final condition is absolute power.
This political "power" over the people is being controlled by one president, 435 Representatives in the U. S. House, 100 Senators in the U. S. Senate, 9 justices on the U. S. Supreme Court, half a hundred federal bureaucracies that apparently answer to no one and lobby groups that spend millions of dollars every year to get Congress to yield to their demands. 545 politicians and the un-elected directors of the federal bureaucracies are controlling 330,000,000 Americans. Since the adults of that 330,000,000 people get to vote, you would think that it wouldn't be that difficult to control 545 politicians and the un-elected directors of the federal bureaucracies. Once again, you would be wrong.
But tragically, the American people are hopelessly divided, divided between those (the producers) that are self-reliant, productive, independent and responsible and those (the takers) who are surviving off of the productivity of the producers, producers that are forced to do so by an all-too powerful government that recognizes very few restraints or limits on its power. Unfortunately, the takers can vote themselves a share of the producer's productivity and the producers don't have enough votes to counter the takers' plurality, with the politicians exploiting the takers' vote to increase their power. In effect, the producers become indentured servants to the takers by force of law. This condition becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy and the number of takers grows and grows until it overwhelms the ability of the producers to "feed" the growing number of takers. As a result, the national debt rises.
But this issue has been hashed and re-hashed so many times by so many different authors it has become boring. What's the solution? What can the producers do so that they don't end up slaves to the takers? How do the producers break up the cabal between the government, the lobbyists and the takers? How do they sever the entangled ties between big government, big business, big labor and the one-world-order crowd that want to dissolve American sovereignty, steal our wealth and resources, cut off our energy, repeal parental rights, abort babies after they are born and confiscate our land, with our own government's assistance?
Remember the town hall meetings in August of 2009, where the people displayed their anger over the impending Obama care legislation? That was about the time the grass roots Tea Party erupted on the national stage. Although these events led to a resounding defeat for House Democrats in the 2010 election, we still got Obama care, an abysmal government failure. Apparently, the 2009 town hall anger and the defeat of a few House Democrats wasn't enough to make a needed course correction to avoid a national path towards socialism that will surely lead to economic collapse, chaos and anarchy, just like Argentina and Venezuela.
The government and the takers seem hell bent on propelling us into socialism and there is no current political will with enough political power to change our suicidal direction. So how do we trigger a course correction that will truly be effective in restoring our freedom, our national pride and prevent the dissolution of American sovereignty? We haven't been able to do it at the voting booth. The takers have an apparent plurality, aided and abetted by the news media, academia and most Democrats. And even if all 545 politicians were replaced with new blood, would that in itself be enough to slow down the run-away train we are on? Not if the politicians pander to the takers in order to keep being re-elected because the takers have the most votes.
So the solution becomes changing the national mindset of the people on a large enough scale, such that the politicians will end up doing the right thing in the interest of saving America from murdering itself ..... OR, the solution could be a dedicated minority that will "Declare Open Resistance" against growing government tyranny and will have the commitment and courage to stir the pot so vigorously, at every level of government, that the national mindset will have to shift towards survival rather than self-induced suicide. That's a tall order.
In the 12-step AA program, the first step is to recognize and acknowledge that there is a problem. The next 11 steps provide a blue print on how to "fix" the problem. If an afflicted person won't acknowledge the first step, the next 11 are moot. And so it is with our national dilemma. If we won't acknowledge we have a problem, any steps to fix a problem we won't even recognize, are dead on arrival.
To not recognize that America is in a state of decay and decline and headed for national bankruptcy, is putting one's head in the sand. However, if you are a taker, you don't care, just so long as the government checks arrive at your mailbox, or appears as a direct deposit to your checking account and you get to vote to keep the checks coming. This does not apply to Social Security or Medicare recipients because they were forced by government to pay into the account that now pays them.
However, as a producer, with your income steadily declining to pay for the takers and free loaders, the problem is paramount. You know that even if government took all of your income, it would never be enough. This run-away insanity has to stop and stop soon if national collapse is to be avoided.
There is only one peaceful solution to the dilemma facing freedom-loving Americans. The 63,000,000 Americans that voted for Donald Trump, or a very large fraction thereof, must coalesce under one leadership and one mission statement. They must speak with one large voice on all contentious issues and they must provide a list of demands to government from which they will not waiver. Anything less is a waste to time and money.
We grow weary of TV pundits and politicians saying, "We have to do something" when that "something" is in the hands of the "president, 435 Representatives in the U. S. House, 100 Senators in the U. S. Senate, 9 justices on the U. S. Supreme Court, half a hundred federal bureaucracies that apparently answer to no one and lobby groups that spend millions of dollars every year to get Congress to yield to their demands." But this racketeering cabal of politicians, judges, bureaucrats and lobbyists no longer work for and on behalf of the interests of all Americans, or America as a sovereign nation. Trump is trying but he is up against significant odds.
So once again, the solution is in the hands of the people .... if they are courageous, committed, dedicated and willing to sacrifice. Unfortunately, the people have yet to realize that they are the real DAVID and they can't be stopped by a "cumbersome, indecisive, inefficient and slow to move GOLIATH."

"Democrats, Lay Off My Hamburger And My Guns"
from "In Defense of Rural America"
By Ron Ewart, President of the
National Association of Rural Landowners
and nationally recognized author and speaker on freedom and property rights issues
Copyright Sunday, September 8, 2019 - All Rights Reserved
For seven long, agonizing hours on CNN, last Wednesday night, 10 of the 2020 Democrat presidential candidates went round and round on who could out do each other on how much taxpayer money they were going to spend to reduce the threat of the alleged crisis of man-caused global warming, euphemistically and deceitfully called "Climate Change." (Of course climate changes.) Good OLD socialist, one-foot-in-the-grave Bernie Sanders topped the list with proposing to spend $16 trillion American taxpayer dollars to solve a climate variability that could very well and in all likelihood, either be a natural phenomenon, or defy a solution.
At no time during these seven hours was there a discussion on whether the crisis was so great and so imminent that government must act quickly and spend trillions of taxpayer dollars to "save the planet", or whether the science behind climate change was hopelessly and purposely flawed and there was nothing that man could do about it anyway. To all the Democrat/socialist participants in the CNN town hall meeting, the science is settled. It makes no difference that there are volumes of credible scientific papers that debunk Democrat/socialist climate change.
According to these climate alarmists, the planet and its seven billion human, animal and plant inhabitants are doomed if we don't act NOW! (Doomed to what?)
Most of this climate drivel is driven by a flawed theory called the "Precautionary Principle," a theory that states "when human activities may lead to morally unacceptable harm that is scientifically plausible but uncertain, actions shall be taken to avoid or diminish that harm,"..... and in the minds of the Democrat socialists, no matter how much it costs in individual rights, lives, property, or money.
What does "morally unacceptable" mean? And yet this alleged "principle" is the rationale for spending trillions of dollars on any problem, or potential threat, that has no scientific certainty. That's inherently stupid at best and insane at worst. And "Morally unacceptable" is subject to wide interpretation.
Pew research did a study on what "morally unacceptable" means in 40 different countries. The study found that 78% of the respondents to the survey said that "morally unacceptable" means having an affair. Climate change wasn't mentioned in the study.
But this climate change folly is also driven by environmental and international forces that want world government and they want to transfer the wealth from Western countries and spread it around to the poor countries, all the while taking a piece (a large piece) of the action as the money flows out of Western civilization into the third world. It's mostly about the money and controlling the masses. It very definitely IS NOT about an alleged drastic change in the climate.
The basic premise behind the Democrat/socialist climate change theory is, man is the cause, (as yet to be proven) especially those decadent and profligate Americans, and they must pay and pay through the nose. Americans are guilty and they must prostrate themselves before the rest of the world and pay reparations to the people of those countries that haven't been able to equal what Americans have done under freedom because third-world countries are corrupt and their people are essentially ignorant. By some as yet unexplainable reason, devised by socialists, Americans owe these people their "soul" because America has been successful as a nation and as a people and the third-world hasn't. Therefore it follows that they want "what we got" and the world "Robin Hoods" (Democrat/Socialists) are going to take it from us at the point of a gun and give it to the third world, or the poor, you know, just to make it "fair!"
Thus, to save the planet for the other 6.7 billion people from the alleged apocalyptic climate change, Americans must give up their beef, their hamburgers, their steaks, their ham and bacon and their lamb, or even their pets, (pets fart too) they must give up their cars and they must give up their airplanes and air conditioning. Americans must conserve until it hurts, or until we finally replace the clean, in-home family bathroom with the cheap good 'ole fashioned outhouse in the back yard, that doesn't use water or electricity.
But most of all, we must give up our money. The people of the other 192 countries can sit back and harvest an American whirlwind of trillions of American taxpayer dollars ..... while doing nothing to stop alleged man-caused global warming. Are you getting this worldwide con game yet?
Meanwhile, it doesn't matter that India and China are the worst carbon dioxide (CO2) polluters on the planet and get off scot-free from having to cut back and conserve. They, along with Indonesia, are responsible for the lion's share of the plastic flotsam polluting the earth's oceans. It isn't American plastic straws that are finding their way into the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic oceans. But Americans have to unilaterally give up their plastic straws, plastic knives, spoons and forks, plastic plates and plastic everything else, because Democrat socialists want to "save the planet" and to do it they are hell bent on taking control of the lives of every living American and relieving them of all of their money, their lifestyle and their freedom, not to mention their hamburgers and their guns.
But not so fast! There are tens of millions of Americans who just want to be left alone by government. They don't want to be herded like cattle by the Democrats. They don't want their private health insurance taken away. They don't want their oil, natural gas and coal power sources being curtailed or eliminated all together. They love the freedom of their cars and aren't about to be crammed into big cities and forced to take their bicycle or mass transit to work.
They don't want to be told what to wear, where to work, what to drive, or what to eat and drink. And most of all they don't want their beef or their guns taken away by Democrats that have lost their minds and have forgotten what being an American means. Those millions of free Americans want constitutional government, not a government run be a bunch of elite Democrat socialist oligarchs that tell us to do what they demand, not what they do, while flying around the planet in their private CO2-emitting Gulf Stream jets and living in 20,000 square-foot homes on the beach.
So with all that being said, we give Democrats fair warning and we speak on behalf of millions of Americans! We're here to tell all you idiot Democrat/socialists that we have no intention of giving up our burgers, or our guns, or our cars and airplanes, or our private health insurance, or our in-door bathrooms, or our very comfortable standard of living that is powered by crude oil, natural gas and coal and if you once again regain political power (God forbid) and start to implement your insane ideas of human control and human bondage, millions of Americans shall resist you with all of their might, even if it means taking you down in another civil war or revolution.
If the 63,000,000 Americans that voted for Donald Trump in 2016 would yell in unison, with one voice, "LAY OFF MY HAMBURGERS AND MY GUNS" and back it up with action, this schism between the two sides would end virtually overnight.
God knows how any clear-thinking American can accept or believe in this insane, anti-American "bilge" being spewed by the Democrat presidential candidates, or the Democrat party itself. If that is what America has become, you might just as well condemn the U. S. Constitution to the nearest bathroom for toilet paper.
Remember, the two other super powers are salivating over the prospect of America tearing itself apart from the inside. Once America is divided and teetering on the brink of civil war, we will lose our military superiority and our ability to keep those two other super powers at bay. How does being a slave to the People's Republic of China strike you? Just envision millions of Chinese soldiers occupying every hamlet, village, town, big city, or the rural areas of America and they have the "tens of millions" to do it. The Chinese government WILL take away your guns and if you don't give them up willingly, they'll just shoot you, or send you to a concentration camp where you will be tortured to death. It seems presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke has similar ideas about confiscating guns.
Today, any Democrat politician OR VOTER that believes in the current Democrat Party platform, as proffered by the current gaggle of Democrat presidential candidates, that consists of the insane ideas of trying to replace fossil fuels with alternative energy, Medicare-for-all, open borders and abortion up to and including birth, is synonymous with traitor, treason and murderer. They mean to enslave you using climate change as the weapon and they are very close to getting it done, even if you can't see it coming. Because you see ladies and gentlemen, "There Is No Law But Democrat Deep State Law" unless you repeal it ..... by whatever means.

"Customer Service Has Gone To Hell In America"
from "In Defense of Rural America"
By Ron Ewart, President of the

and nationally recognized author and speaker on freedom and property rights issues

"Happy customers are your biggest advocates and can become your most successful sales team." Lisa Masiello [Too bad Comcast doesn't get the message]
Like many Americans, we're in an on-going battle with Comcast over what they charge for their services. Unfortunately, Comcast has so many customers now and with new customers coming on board by the thousands each day, they don't have to care. Comcast is essentially a monopoly.
In a recent communication with Comcast Executive Services to resolve our problem, we wrote this:
"Thank you for responding to our e-mail requesting a renewal of the Comcast program we're on, that just expired. Unfortunately, your initial response to our request was less than satisfactory."
"If we are to read your message correctly, you want us to contact Comcast at 1-800-Xfinity and request the renewal in Comcast's phone SYSTEM where first we will be directed to some non-English speaking person in Costa Rica, who will then transfer us to some non-English speaking person in the Philippines, who will then transfer us to some person in Mexico, who also has trouble with the English language. Don't laugh. This has happened more than once to us going through Comcast's alleged SYSTEM! Then you want to put us in a position where we will have to be put on hold from 3/4's to 1 hour ..... or more. As a businessman whose time is at a premium, we don't have the time to be put on hold for extended periods by Comcast."
"All this so we can get a decent rate for a substandard service, from a company who doesn't really give a damn on how they treat their customers."
"Our company, NARLO, deals with customers from all over the United States and if we did to our customers what you are doing to yours, we'd go out of business in a few short months. But each one of our customers is special and we treat them as special. We go above and beyond to make sure that each customer is handled with respect and courtesy. We provide a good product at a reasonable price with unexcelled service. If there is a problem, we fix it immediately. We are known for these great products and our excellent service, all over the U. S. It is unfortunate that we can't say the same for Comcast's customer service."
SIDE BAR: Ladies and gentlemen, we took on (sued) one of the largest international banks on the planet pro se over predatory lending practices and won. If you don't fight, corporate America and government will make you a slave.
But let's get back to Comcast. From the Cheat Sheet website about Comcast we read:
"It’s no secret that Comcast has a terrible track record with customer service. The horror stories flew in fast and furious for a few years, causing Consumerist to name Comcast the worst company in America for 2014. Since then, things haven’t gotten much better."
"The 2016 American Customer Satisfaction Index shows that while Comcast has made modest gains in customer rankings, it’s nowhere near the top of the pack. People are miffed about the quality of service from [non-English speaking] call centers, and the company ranks incredibly poorly for its Internet service. Comcast also ties for dead last with Spectrum for telephone landlines."
"The worst part of all this is even if you’re able to switch your service from the company, chances are your alternatives aren’t much better. Cable TV and Internet companies rank as the two worst industries for customer satisfaction — lower than health insurance companies, airlines, and the postal service."
"When you’re as profitable as Comcast, customer satisfaction and reasonable employee policies are mere trifles compared to the ongoing expansion of its billion-dollar empire."
The horror stories with Comcast abound. Here are a few of those stories:
One Comcast Customer was charged $1,775 for an early termination fee. Comcast took the fee right out of the customer's bank account. Except the fee should have never been charged in the first place. What is worse, it took two years for the customer to be refunded by Comcast.
Another Comcast Customer received a package of equipment in the mail that he never requested. Comcast charged him $2,000 for the package. The infuriated customer filed a complaint with Comcast's Chief Accounting Officer. A few days later, the customer was fired from his job. Unfortunately, the company he worked for held Comcast as a major client. The customer sued Comcast.
One poor hapless Comcast customer had to sell his house because of a snafu with Comcast. Comcast promised the customer that the new house the customer was about to purchase, was serviced by Comcast. The customer needed Internet Service for his job. Trouble is, the house he purchased WAS NOT serviced by Comcast. The customer spent months on useless phone calls, appointments, lost time and frustration. Finally, Comcast told the customer that if he wanted Internet Service, Comcast would provide it for a payment of $50,000 to $60,000. In the end, the customer had no choice but to sell his new house.
The question is, why do tens of millions of Americans continue to put up with it? The reason is, most Americans have turned into wimps instead of fighters. They won't take the time to fight back individually, or organize in large groups to fight. We did take the time. We found e-mail addresses for Comcast executives and Comcast investor relations' agents. Investor Relations agents have the ear of the President-CEO (Brian L. Roberts).

But poor customer service doesn't always occur with corporate America. All too often Americans are subjected to arrogant, snide, in-your-face, we're-the-master-and-you-are-the-servant encounters with government agents. Just try getting an answer to a social security or a health care question from government. You end up dealing with one or more rude government employees who seem to know less about your issue than you do, while spending gobs of time on the telephone, or taking time out of your work day for a face-to-face meeting. No, not all government agents are rude.
Then there is the permit or a license for "everything" that each American must go through to get married, build a home, drive a car, take down a tree, collect drain water, go fishing or hunting, or even dig a hole in your back yard. By the permit and licensing process, government has turned God-given natural rights into privileges that government can take away on a whim.
If there is an issue with the permit or license, the citizen has to get on the phone or make a personal visit to the government agency to resolve the issue. That entails being put on hold for large portions of an hour (or even more than an hour) waiting for someone to provide courteous and reliable customer service, which never happens. Or, it means standing in long lines during working hours at a government office counter, waiting for a government agent to serve you. Take a number and wait an hour ..... or more. Besides the lost time and extra costs you must endure, government agents can be impatient, impudent, surly, arrogant and snide. After all, they have a monopoly. They don't have to be nice. You need them to live. You owe them for your very lives and existence! Consequently, you are not free. You are in fact, an unintentional slave.
From government agencies, to credit card companies, to insurance companies, to banks and health care providers, customer service by these agencies and companies has deteriorated to substandard, dealing-with-the-devil trips into Hell for the average American. And this doesn't even cover dealing with the hopelessly corrupt judicial system.
Is it any wonder that the stress in people's lives from the frustration and anger from having to deal with shoddy or non-existent customer service, has risen to the point where it causes significant physical and mental health issues? When people are stressed out, they turn to minding-altering substances (drugs and alcohol), sexual deviance, physical abuse, violence and many times suicide. Add to all this stress is the obsession with high technology, staring at screens and pushing little buttons all day. (See: "Sucked In By Technology - Brainwashed by Education."
As a result, Americans are so distracted, they don't have time to observe and react to what their government is doing TOO them, every day of their lives.
If our lives don't change for the better, something really bad is going to happen to the American people and they will be totally unprepared for whatever does happen. Their daily lives are just too complicated and too full to reduce the stress that silently preys upon them like an evil predator lurking in the night. Sadly, "Nothing Will Change Until the People Act."
At great risk to themselves, the young people of Hong Kong are crying out for freedom in massive protests throughout the city. Why aren't our young Americans crying out for freedom? Just the opposite is true. They're crying out for socialism and "free" stuff. That's what three generations of Progressive brainwashing has done.

Like many Americans, we're in an on-going battle with Comcast over what they charge for their services. Unfortunately, Comcast has so many customers now and with new customers coming on board by the thousands each day, they don't have to care. Comcast is essentially a monopoly.
In a recent communication with Comcast Executive Services to resolve our problem, we wrote this:
"Thank you for responding to our e-mail requesting a renewal of the Comcast program we're on, that just expired. Unfortunately, your initial response to our request was less than satisfactory."
"If we are to read your message correctly, you want us to contact Comcast at 1-800-Xfinity and request the renewal in Comcast's phone SYSTEM where first we will be directed to some non-English speaking person in Costa Rica, who will then transfer us to some non-English speaking person in the Philippines, who will then transfer us to some person in Mexico, who also has trouble with the English language. Don't laugh. This has happened more than once to us going through Comcast's alleged SYSTEM! Then you want to put us in a position where we will have to be put on hold from 3/4's to 1 hour ..... or more. As a businessman whose time is at a premium, we don't have the time to be put on hold for extended periods by Comcast."
"All this so we can get a decent rate for a substandard service, from a company who doesn't really give a damn on how they treat their customers."
"Our company, NARLO, deals with customers from all over the United States and if we did to our customers what you are doing to yours, we'd go out of business in a few short months. But each one of our customers is special and we treat them as special. We go above and beyond to make sure that each customer is handled with respect and courtesy. We provide a good product at a reasonable price with unexcelled service. If there is a problem, we fix it immediately. We are known for these great products and our excellent service, all over the U. S. It is unfortunate that we can't say the same for Comcast's customer service."
SIDE BAR: Ladies and gentlemen, we took on (sued) one of the largest international banks on the planet pro se over predatory lending practices and won. If you don't fight, corporate America and government will make you a slave.
But let's get back to Comcast. From the Cheat Sheet website about Comcast we read:
"It’s no secret that Comcast has a terrible track record with customer service. The horror stories flew in fast and furious for a few years, causing Consumerist to name Comcast the worst company in America for 2014. Since then, things haven’t gotten much better."
"The 2016 American Customer Satisfaction Index shows that while Comcast has made modest gains in customer rankings, it’s nowhere near the top of the pack. People are miffed about the quality of service from [non-English speaking] call centers, and the company ranks incredibly poorly for its Internet service. Comcast also ties for dead last with Spectrum for telephone landlines."
"The worst part of all this is even if you’re able to switch your service from the company, chances are your alternatives aren’t much better. Cable TV and Internet companies rank as the two worst industries for customer satisfaction — lower than health insurance companies, airlines, and the postal service."
"When you’re as profitable as Comcast, customer satisfaction and reasonable employee policies are mere trifles compared to the ongoing expansion of its billion-dollar empire."
The horror stories with Comcast abound. Here are a few of those stories:
One Comcast Customer was charged $1,775 for an early termination fee. Comcast took the fee right out of the customer's bank account. Except the fee should have never been charged in the first place. What is worse, it took two years for the customer to be refunded by Comcast.
Another Comcast Customer received a package of equipment in the mail that he never requested. Comcast charged him $2,000 for the package. The infuriated customer filed a complaint with Comcast's Chief Accounting Officer. A few days later, the customer was fired from his job. Unfortunately, the company he worked for held Comcast as a major client. The customer sued Comcast.
One poor hapless Comcast customer had to sell his house because of a snafu with Comcast. Comcast promised the customer that the new house the customer was about to purchase, was serviced by Comcast. The customer needed Internet Service for his job. Trouble is, the house he purchased WAS NOT serviced by Comcast. The customer spent months on useless phone calls, appointments, lost time and frustration. Finally, Comcast told the customer that if he wanted Internet Service, Comcast would provide it for a payment of $50,000 to $60,000. In the end, the customer had no choice but to sell his new house.
The question is, why do tens of millions of Americans continue to put up with it? The reason is, most Americans have turned into wimps instead of fighters. They won't take the time to fight back individually, or organize in large groups to fight. We did take the time. We found e-mail addresses for Comcast executives and Comcast investor relations' agents. Investor Relations agents have the ear of the President-CEO (Brian L. Roberts). We then hounded them with indictments of their lousy customer service by e-mail. We got results.
If you've had it with Comcast Customer service and want to get results, here are some high-level e-mail addresses and phone numbers you can use to share your complaints or displeasure. If you do it in large numbers, maybe, just maybe, Comcast will get the message.

"Stare Deep Into The Crystal Ball And You'll See Civil War"
from "In Defense of Rural America"

"Something is wanting, and something must be done, or we shall be involved in all the horror of failure, and civil war without a prospect of its termination." Henry Knox, (1750 - 1806) Revolutionary War General and Secretary of War
Did General Knox see something in his "crystal ball", that we are now seeing in ours? Are the precursors of civil war always growing irreconcilable differences? Can we pull back from the brink before civil war or revolution become the only solution to those differences? These are the questions that percolate in sane minds as we approach the precipice of war before there is no turning back.
Make no mistake. America is headed for a civil war or revolution. It will take just the slightest whisper of conflict to set it off, unless the widening gap between the two sides is somehow bridged by cooler heads.
The causes of our irreconcilable differences grow by the day. All of the societal norms that created a harmonious society are breaking down before our eyes and we can't seem to stop it. Our public schools and colleges have become instruments of indoctrination. Marriage is under attack. The nuclear family is under assault. The definitive line between male and female and their respective roles are being blurred such that now instead of two genders, we have multiple genders and indistinguishable roles. Simplicity is rejected, natural biology is ignored and confusion reigns as a result. Confusion about who we are leads to arguments, heated debates and many times violence. It also leads to crime, health problems, depression, sexual deviance, mental illness, substance abuse and even suicide. Fiscal negligence and political correctness are corrosive offshoots from that confusion.
But the destruction or perversion of societal norms is not all that leads to irreconcilable differences. Moving away from the foundation of our liberties is the prime reason for the widening gap on how America should be governed. Here, in a few lines, are two opposing descriptions of how government should operate, from totally different perspectives:
"I heartily accept the motto, — 'That government is best which governs least' and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which I also believe, — 'That government is best which governs not at all.'" Henry David Thoreau
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" is a slogan popularized by Karl Marx in his 1875 Critique of the Gotha Program. The principle refers to free access to and distribution of goods, capital and services [by government]. In the Marxist view, such an arrangement will be made possible by the abundance of goods and services that a developed communist system will be capable to produce; the idea is that, with the full development of socialism and unfettered productive forces, there will be enough to satisfy everyone's needs." From Wikipedia and all the 2020 Democrats running for president
The foregoing statements are incompatible with each other and cannot co-exist peacefully together ..... without war eventually developing between them.
The following are lines from a previous article we wrote over a year ago. We repeat them for emphasis because they are directly relevant:
Is it any wonder that Americans are so divided and are on the brink of going to war with each other? The Democrats have gone off the rail with concepts, policies and agendas that would have created a war just a few decades ago. The younger generation has no clue as to why America is (or was) exceptional.
But in reality the only thing that stands between a planet in perpetual world war, or human annihilation, is American freedom! [Read this sentence again and again and again!]
Maybe the rise of American freedom in 1776 was providence at work, maybe not. But if we succumb to the siren call of socialism, which seems to be the direction we are heading, civil war is our future and the promise of providence will have been denied.
We say civil war because there are millions of Americans who will not lie down and play dead for the rise of socialism. Those millions are heavily armed and if you push them too far, like the "shot heard round the world", war will break out between those that cling to socialism and government dependence and those that cling to freedom, their bible ..... or their guns.
Given all this, let us not forget who we are. We are Americans for God's sake. The blood of heroes and patriots courses through our veins. Each of us is the descendant of those whose spine was stiffened by courage when his or her country called, or evil raised its ugly head. We are the direct lineage of the men and women whose intellect and fortitude carried them to new heights and made America the greatest, proudest, industrious, creative, wealthiest, productive and most generous nation on Earth. We share our chromosomes with those pioneers that settled the west, tamed a wild country with roads, bridges and towns and brought law and order to the homeland. We are the sons, daughters, grandsons and grand daughters of those who stood up to tyranny, no matter what the cost. The genes of creators, inventors, hard workers, the educated, the warriors and those in service to others, are an integral part of our DNA.
Real Americans are not whiners or losers they are doers and winners. They build and invent things. They excel at their chosen professions. Americans are the givers and preservers of life, not the takers. Americans believe that life is precious and a gift from God and its preservation is paramount.
Americans are the light to the rest of the world, not because we are better than anyone else, but because we live under the bright light of liberty that frees us to climb the highest mountains, or jump off this once giant planet into the vastness of space, where only the brave dare tread, in search of the secrets of our island Universe.
Heed not the doomsayers that warn us we are no longer an exceptional people or a country. Pay no attention to those who say we are destroying the planet and that we must conserve and cut back. The planet is big enough to handle us. If man went extinct today the earth would heal itself in a thousand years or less. A thousand years is nothing in comparison to the eons the earth has orbited the Sun.
Sure there are things we can do to lessen our impact on the earth but we don't have to return to the dark ages to do it, nor do we have to replace fossil fuels with ineffective, inefficient, government subsidized and highly expensive wind and solar power on the trumped up charge of man-caused global warming. That's not just stupid, it's insane.
We have no choice but to find a way to right the situation peacefully, or we are in for a very long, protracted and bloody civil war, where the outcome is totally unpredictable and freedom may not be what we win in the end. Let us not, once again, fall into the trap where we find that war, carnage, brutality and violence are the only way to preserve our freedom.
Let us remember when brave Americans stood up against tyranny with their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor over two centuries ago. In their memory and sacrifice can present-day Americans do no less? We call on all constitutional Americans to openly reject Progressivism, political correctness, collectivism, multi-culturalism, radical environmentalism and the one-world government and reject these things with all their heart and soul, or watch America succumb to the fatal disease of world socialism and planet-wide slavery. The fate of liberty is in our hands. If we fail, freedom fails.
We do not believe that war is inevitable, but it will take the combined, unified and courageous effort of all those Americans who still cherish freedom and are willing to defend it ..... by any means. An American civil war today will be a lost cause and only invite the two other super powers to intervene and take us down. And a civil war or a revolution, do not always end up in the birth or re-birth of freedom. The history of of thousands of revolutions tells a far different story. (See "Revolutions")
Once again, in the words of Revolutionary War General Henry Knox, "Something is wanting, and something must be done, or we shall be involved in all the horror of failure, and civil war without a prospect of its termination." Remember, civil war is a complete failure of society.

"The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one." Adolf Hitler
People keep asking, especially those over 70, what the Hell happened to my country? How is it that America spawned the likes of Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, Kamala Harris and some gay mayor from Indiana named "Boodugig," or whatever, running for president? How did the idiot Bill de Blasio, ever become mayor of New York? Why are Democrat-controlled cities going (or have gone) bankrupt and are hotbeds of riots, protests, mayhem, shootings, killings, murders, robberies and general unrest and high anxiety? Why is America suffering from an invasion of illegal aliens from Mexico and Central American Countries? Why are there so many homeless in America, the richest country in the world? Why did Americans let the Democrats destroy the American healthcare system by passing Obama Care? But worse than that, why have our public schools and colleges been turned into indoctrination centers for Progressivism, socialism, radical environmentalism and world government?
One of our readers wrote: "Those of us who grew up in the 1940's and 1950's are well aware that we grew up in an America much different from the America of today. It is truly sad how we, and our parents, allowed the government to gain so much power at the expense of our liberty and freedom. Once we allowed the government to require a license to exercise any of our rights, that right became a privilege and the freedom was gone."
Every American exists in a bubble of propaganda, manipulation and elaborate cons that come at them from every direction. From TV, to radio, to newspapers, to public schools, to the Internet, to government pronouncements and military operations, truth is cloaked in subterfuge, half-truths and lies. Advertising, especially TV ads, are the worst. Sadly, most Americans have not been trained to see through the propaganda, expose the con and filter out the lies and half-truths because they never learned or were taught how to use logic, intellect and common sense.
There are many reasons why we are where we are today. But one of the main reasons is, we have allowed the flawed and anti-American ideology of Progressivism to be slowly embedded in all of our institutions over the last Century plus. We have allowed a perversion of science under Climate Change, to create an imaginary crisis that has permeated the body politic such that to deny Climate Change is heresy and must be censored by any means. Man is the culprit and he must be punished. The climate alarmists are afraid to even debate the science for fear that their con game will be exposed. We have an entire web page packed with highly credible articles debunking Climate Change HERE. See for yourself.
If our public schools and colleges had fostered and promoted critical thinking instead of socialist, environmental and one-world mush by rote learning, the masses would see through Progressivism and Climate Change as nothing more than government mechanisms to control the people and make them debt slaves such that they are incapable of rising up against government.
To the exclusion of reality, high tech has wooed us into obsessive oblivion and addiction where reality resides inside a 3" x 5" electronic plastic box. On top of that our public schools and colleges have continued Progressive indoctrination for at least the last three or four generations of Americans and those three or four generations are none the wiser. You don't know what you don't know!
Our children are the leaders of the next generation. The greatest gift we can give to them is not just our undying love and reasonable discipline, but what we teach them and how we oversee what others are teaching them. If you are not interested in how your children are being manipulated, molded and indoctrinated by the public education system, at the behest of government, unions and special interest groups, you are not interested in your children's, much less the nation's, long-term well being and future.
There are three major influences on your children's public education. The unions that control the teachers, the colleges that teach the teachers and those individuals and entities that control the curriculum and the textbooks from which your children will learn. Although most teachers are basically devoted to teaching their students, they are still controlled by the unions and most unions are hopelessly corrupt. The teachers are also a product of what they are taught in the liberal teaching colleges. Both the teaching colleges and the individuals and entities that control the curriculum and the textbooks are equally corrupt because they are fundamentally controlled by a single, distorted and flawed ideology that permeates our culture. This ideology (Progressivism) is tantamount to a cult like religion where the ideology is an absolute (like Islam), at the exclusion of all other ideologies, ideas and concepts. Make no mistake. The goal of this ideology is to obtain absolute power and they are very close to being successful ..... by any means.
What children will learn in public education will have a profound effect on the rest of their lives. We call it, filling up their "Little Black Boxes." It would seem that a parent's primary duty and obligation is to make sure that what goes into their highly impressionable "Little Black Boxes" is essentially fundamental truths on which their children can rely on in their adult lives. That is not happening in America's public school system today. Just the opposite is true and we are paying the price with a younger generation being fully and formally indoctrinated into socialism, radical environmentalism, pseudo climate science and a world dominated by a single governing body. That is why millennials are going for socialist Bernie Sanders (and the other socialist candidates for president) by the millions and "light up" at the thought of free everything, totally ignorant of the fact that nothing is free.
On top of generational indoctrination by government and special interests in our public schools and colleges, our younger generation has now succumbed to the siren call of addictive high technology. You can't go into a restaurant without seeing family members, at one table after another, fiddling with their Iphones or Ipads. They hardly talk to each other. These devices are so innocently seductive, a person falls into the hidden trap of obsessive addiction almost instantly. The younger they are the quicker the addiction.
One woman wrote about her experience with the Iphone and her two-year old:
"My son is 22 months old, and his favorite toy is my iPhone X. I hide it everywhere: behind stuffed animals, between books, in potted plants. He finds it every time and toddles up to me, clutching it in his tiny fist and wailing, 'Melmo. Melmo, pease. Melmo. Melmo, pease.' 'Melmo' is how he says 'Elmo,' and what he wants is to watch Sesame Street videos on YouTube. When I say no, he crumples onto the floor and weeps.”
One wonders why a mother would introduce her two-year old to an Iphone in the first place. If the weeping two-year old was instead an adult and addicted to drugs, that mother's son could very well be tempted to rob a store, or a bank, to get the money to buy the drugs to which he is addicted.
America has the most powerful, well-trained and well-equipped military on the planet. Our power to destroy or defeat an enemy militarily is unmatched. But with all this military might, that same military is powerless against an embedded and institutionalized ideology, whether that ideology is abroad (Islam), or right here at home (Progressivism). It is also powerless against the hidden enemy of broad cultural technological addiction.
The Romans learned this the hard way when they were confronted by the ideology of Christianity. First, Christianity was little more than wispy smoke that smoldered in the far reaches of the empire. But then it became a raging fire that burned its way across all of the lands surrounding the Mediterranean and beyond. There is nothing more powerful than an idea that becomes embedded in the minds of the general population.
Added to this toxic soup of Progressivism is the deadly whirlpool of technological seduction. Sadly, a powerful but flawed ideology and an incurable addiction have become the norm in the general population of America and if that ideology and addiction are not defeated, America has no future as a free nation.
So many of us profess to be smart, educated, knowledgeable and wise and yet we are taken in virtually every day by scoundrels, traitors and the con artists that walk the halls of government and talk out of both sides of their mouths about freedom, liberty and the American way. When we discover their treachery or corruption, our mouths drop open in disbelief. We cry, "How can this be? Are not those that represent us honorable men?" After a brief moment of registering our disgust and disdain with politics as usual, we return to "Dancing With The Stars", or "Wide World of Wrestling", or football, while the politicians return to treachery and corruption, no longer anxious that the people might actually rise up and challenge them. The politicians have nothing to fear when the people are paper tigers and at best, the American people are paper tigers. Except maybe independent rural landowners who still believe in the foundations of our liberty and are willing to fight for it and preserve their CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
If you are over 70, you know what we are talking about. If you are under 40, most probably don't have a clue.

If our public schools and colleges had fostered and promoted critical thinking instead of socialist, environmental and one-world mush by rote learning, the masses would see through Progressivism and Climate Change as nothing more than government mechanisms to control the people and make them debt slaves such that they are incapable of rising up against government.
To the exclusion of reality, high tech has wooed us into obsessive oblivion and addiction where reality resides inside a 3" x 5" electronic plastic box. On top of that our public schools and colleges have continued Progressive indoctrination for at least the last three or four generations of Americans and those three or four generations are none the wiser. You don't know what you don't know!
Our children are the leaders of the next generation. The greatest gift we can give to them is not just our undying love and reasonable discipline, but what we teach them and how we oversee what others are teaching them. If you are not interested in how your children are being manipulated, molded and indoctrinated by the public education system, at the behest of government, unions and special interest groups, you are not interested in your children's, much less the nation's, long-term well being and future.
There are three major influences on your children's public education. The unions that control the teachers, the colleges that teach the teachers and those individuals and entities that control the curriculum and the textbooks from which your children will learn. Although most teachers are basically devoted to teaching their students, they are still controlled by the unions and most unions are hopelessly corrupt. The teachers are also a product of what they are taught in the liberal teaching colleges. Both the teaching colleges and the individuals and entities that control the curriculum and the textbooks are equally corrupt because they are fundamentally controlled by a single, distorted and flawed ideology that permeates our culture. This ideology (Progressivism) is tantamount to a cult like religion where the ideology is an absolute (like Islam), at the exclusion of all other ideologies, ideas and concepts. Make no mistake. The goal of this ideology is to obtain absolute power and they are very close to being successful ..... by any means.
What children will learn in public education will have a profound effect on the rest of their lives. We call it, filling up their "Little Black Boxes." It would seem that a parent's primary duty and obligation is to make sure that what goes into their highly impressionable "Little Black Boxes" is essentially fundamental truths on which their children can rely on in their adult lives. That is not happening in America's public school system today. Just the opposite is true and we are paying the price with a younger generation being fully and formally indoctrinated into socialism, radical environmentalism, pseudo climate science and a world dominated by a single governing body. That is why millennials are going for socialist Bernie Sanders (and the other socialist candidates for president) by the millions and "light up" at the thought of free everything, totally ignorant of the fact that nothing is free.
On top of generational indoctrination by government and special interests in our public schools and colleges, our younger generation has now succumbed to the siren call of addictive high technology. You can't go into a restaurant without seeing family members, at one table after another, fiddling with their Iphones or Ipads. They hardly talk to each other. These devices are so innocently seductive, a person falls into the hidden trap of obsessive addiction almost instantly. The younger they are the quicker the addiction.
One woman wrote about her experience with the Iphone and her two-year old:
"My son is 22 months old, and his favorite toy is my iPhone X. I hide it everywhere: behind stuffed animals, between books, in potted plants. He finds it every time and toddles up to me, clutching it in his tiny fist and wailing, 'Melmo. Melmo, pease. Melmo. Melmo, pease.' 'Melmo' is how he says 'Elmo,' and what he wants is to watch Sesame Street videos on YouTube. When I say no, he crumples onto the floor and weeps.”
One wonders why a mother would introduce her two-year old to an Iphone in the first place. If the weeping two-year old was instead an adult and addicted to drugs, that mother's son could very well be tempted to rob a store, or a bank, to get the money to buy the drugs to which he is addicted.
America has the most powerful, well-trained and well-equipped military on the planet. Our power to destroy or defeat an enemy militarily is unmatched. But with all this military might, that same military is powerless against an embedded and institutionalized ideology, whether that ideology is abroad (Islam), or right here at home (Progressivism). It is also powerless against the hidden enemy of broad cultural technological addiction.
The Romans learned this the hard way when they were confronted by the ideology of Christianity. First, Christianity was little more than wispy smoke that smoldered in the far reaches of the empire. But then it became a raging fire that burned its way across all of the lands surrounding the Mediterranean and beyond. There is nothing more powerful than an idea that becomes embedded in the minds of the general population.
Added to this toxic soup of Progressivism is the deadly whirlpool of technological seduction. Sadly, a powerful but flawed ideology and an incurable addiction have become the norm in the general population of America and if that ideology and addiction are not defeated, America has no future as a free nation.
So many of us profess to be smart, educated, knowledgeable and wise and yet we are taken in virtually every day by scoundrels, traitors and the con artists that walk the halls of government and talk out of both sides of their mouths about freedom, liberty and the American way. When we discover their treachery or corruption, our mouths drop open in disbelief. We cry, "How can this be? Are not those that represent us honorable men?" After a brief moment of registering our disgust and disdain with politics as usual, we return to "Dancing With The Stars", or "Wide World of Wrestling", or football, while the politicians return to treachery and corruption, no longer anxious that the people might actually rise up and challenge them. The politicians have nothing to fear when the people are paper tigers and at best, the American people are paper tigers. Except maybe independent rural landowners who still believe in the foundations of our liberty and are willing to fight for it and preserve their CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
If you are over 70, you know what we are talking about. If you are under 40, most probably don't have a clue.

"Confront The Bully Or Be His Slave!"
from "In Defense of Rural America"
By Ron Ewart, President of the
National Association of Rural Landowners
and nationally recognized author and speaker on freedom and property rights issues
Copyright Sunday, August 4, 2019 - All Rights Reserved
As a rule, we aren't prone to use biblical analogies or parables in our frequent articles and essays, although sometimes they can be useful because of everyone's common knowledge of them ..... especially the story of David and Goliath. We won't go into the story except to say that Goliath, the bully, was terrorizing the common folk and had to be stopped. The common folk had no other alternative but to confront the bully.
A commoner, David, took on the task and was triumphant with just a slingshot and a staff. Goliath the bully, on the other hand, was not only giant in stature but was fully equipped with armor, sword and spear and not likely to be vanquished. This made David's triumph over Goliath, even more of a story. In other words, in contemporary vernacular, his triumph of "good against evil" gave the story "legs" and has been carried down through the ages as a result. Nevertheless, the non-biblical moral of the story is of course, we must confront the bully no matter how large or how powerful he, or they, may be, if we desire to live and remain free.
All throughout our long and tortured 5,000-year history of civilization, bullies have arisen from time to time to dominate the common folk. Actually, there have been tens of thousands of bullies, large and small, on all continents, save one. There seems to be an innate character in some men and some women for that matter, that require they control others, either as single individuals, small groups, or entire countries and cultures. Equally, all throughout our history of civilization, we have been forced to put the bullies down, one by one, long after they have inflicted terror, cultural disruptions, property damage and grave wounds or massive deaths on the hapless and supposedly helpless population. Unfortunately, the biggest problem we have is that we wait far too long before action is taken to relieve the bullies of their power, or their lives. We are far too tolerant of their growing power and negligently blind to their ambitions. History has proven, the longer we wait, the tougher the job.
The power over the common people is fluid in every corner on Earth. It is constantly on the move. It rises and falls as the ambitions of men (and women) exercise their power by appealing to large segments of the population, that "their" way is the only right way, compelled by force of course. Gullible, non-thinking people (there are too many in America) within the masses are highly vulnerable to powerful, charismatic speakers, who project qualities of vision and leadership. The charismatic leader has no difficulty in finding converts and it is the converts that empower the leader seeking power. (i.e. Al Qaeda, ISIS, Muslim Brotherhood, The Peoples Temple, Progressivism, etc.)
But bullies don't have to come in the form of single, megalomaniac individuals like Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Attila The Hun, Caesar, or even the crazed Ayatollahs of Iran. Sometimes the "bullies" come in the form of people behind a phantom ideology that is created by a ruling class and reinforced by a constituency that has embraced the ideology, after major brainwashing by the ruling class.
Sometimes the ideology morphs, slowly over time and becomes radicalized. Sometimes their is a hidden agenda behind the radicalized ideology by powerful, wealthy men, that provides the energy to keep the ideology alive and uses the group in power and their constituents, for their own evil ends. (Globalism) Many times actual or perceived natural or man-made emergencies are exploited to increase power over the people by using the ideology and the emergency as their rationale. President Wilson used the banking emergency to create the Federal Reserve and the Internal Revenue Service. FDR used an emergency (the Great Depression) to increase government power, outside of the Constitution. Socialist Democrats are now doing the same thing with Climate Change. The results will not be any different and freedom will be the loser. Once again, as history repeats itself, the masses subjugate themselves to the dictates of the bully.
This flawed ideology, the group in power, the constituents that maintain the group in power and international evil men who exploit all three for their own enrichment, are what we, as free individual Americans, face today. It is the bull in the china shop. It is the elephant in the room. It is the commonly accepted ideology, of Progressivism. Progressivism or Liberalism is socialism by any other name and it is the giant bully (Goliath) that we must vanquish, should we desire to live and remain free.
Progressivism and Liberalism are the antithesis of individual freedom and liberty. They cannot co-exist with our Constitution and a free society. Liberalism is manifested in the ideology of collectivism, where the group, the mob, the collective, have a greater priority and greater rights than the individual. In liberalism, the rule of the mob, the collective states that: "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few".
Liberalism rewards bad behavior, makes victims out of segments of our society and then vilifies and taxes achievement and success for the benefit of the government-created victims. Liberalism is Marxism where the guiding philosophy and subsequent policies are based on " from those with the greatest capability, to those with the greatest need." Liberalism is "big, nasty government", personified.
But this bully, liberalism, is intractable. We have allowed it to become entrenched in the very fabric of our culture. It is concentrated in big cities that by their very nature are dependent on government. Liberalism has been woven into our laws and regulations. It is like a demon that must be exorcised from the "house" we live in.
The constituency that has bought into this flawed ideology is absolutely convinced that it is the "way", the "light", the "salvation". To bring them out of this liberal stupor will be a monumental task. The saying, "..... that a man convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still", is directly applicable to this "mountain" we must climb. Like the followers of a Jim Jones' cult, members will have to be de-programmed if they are to join the ranks of the sane. We literally have to empty the "Little Black Box" in their brain and re-fill it with the principles of individual freedom and unalienable rights.
Liberalism or Progressivism is the "bully" that all freedom-loving people must confront and relieve of its political power and its ideological life. In spite of what lays before us, the de-programming of liberalism that threatens our freedom is not insurmountable. It is not the unalterable end-all to American culture and way of life. Like all converts, they must be won over, one-by-one.
But how you say, can we be victorious over such an insidious and powerful enemy? A few facts may put our dilemma in perspective. America is purported to be a center-right nation, so there has to be more of "us" than there are of "them". Some liberals just don't know they are really conservatives when it comes to values, morals and individual rights. They will be the easier converts. The hard-core liberals will take a little more time. It can be done peacefully, if those of us of like mind will commit and take a stand for the principles of freedom and liberty, protect and defend our American Constitution and the individual rights it promises and be true to the values of family, honesty, integrity and honor. To be effective, it must be done on a grand scale. It cannot be a token effort and that is what it is right now.
Here is how it can be done. Every conservative in America agrees on just one thing to confront, (one bully) at a time.
1. Let's just say the "bully" is out-of-control illegal immigration. If every single conservative adult and every member of a conservative organization in America, got together as one and deluged Washington DC (the Congress) with an absolute demand that there be no amnesty for illegal aliens and fixing our immigration laws, the Congress would have to pass enabling legislation. They would have no choice.
2. If all these same conservatives rejected the idea of man-caused global warming and demanded that the Congress, as well as all lower political bodies, not pass any law, act, regulation, restriction, or ordinance, or tax, or ratify any treaty that purports to solve the fraud that is man-caused global warming, with CO2 emission limits and cap and trade policies, no such laws would be passed.
We must be singly focused on one major issue at a time with the full force of conservatives and conservative principles. With each win, the power of conservatives and conservatism would grow stronger. It would also be infectious. Conservative politicians would finally realize that they must be true to their conservative values, or join the other side. Many of them have joined the other side already, thus the term RINO.
The alternative to the coalescing of all united conservatives to confront the "bully" or "bullies", is to capitulate (give in) to the bully and succumb to a civil war, armed revolution, or slavery, or all three. America is at a cross roads, a turning point. What we do, or don't do now, will determine the fate of freedom for all future generations on the entire planet, from this moment forward. Do we not owe it to those future generations (that's right, our own children and grandchildren), to do the right thing? But it is inescapable that, the longer we wait, the tougher the job.
FOR GOD'S SAKE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ARE WE THE AMERICANS THAT CONQUERED A CONTINENT, BROUGHT A STANDARD OF LIVING UNEQUALED TO THE MASSES, SAVED BILLIONS FROM SLAVERY AT GREAT SACRIFICE IN TWO WORLD WARS AND GONE TO THE PLANETS ON OUR ROCKET SHIPS, OR ARE WE THE BEASTS OF BURDEN AND SLAVES TO THE RULING CLASS BULLIES?
ARE WE TO REPEAT HISTORY AGAIN AND WATCH THE ONLY VIABLE EXPERIMENT WITH FREEDOM BE RELEGATED TO SOME OLD DUSTY HISTORY BOOK AS A FAILED REMINDER THAT WE DID NOT CONFRONT THE BULLY?
ARE WE TO WALLOW IN THE CESSPOOL OF OUR OWN SUCCESSES, SELF-INDULGENCE AND IMMORAL DECADENCE, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE FACT THAT INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM IS DELICATELY FRAGILE AND SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE SLIGHTEST DISTRACTION?
TO REFUSE TO CONFRONT THE "BULLY" IS TO CONDEMN ONE'S SELF TO PERPETUAL SERVITUDE. ARE YOU SATISFIED TO BE A GOVERNMENT SERVANT, OR ARE YOU DETERMINED TO BE THE MASTER? WE'LL KNOW SOON, PROBABLY BY NOVEMBER OF 2020!
If you let the bully win, you will be forever stuck with the outcome. Right now, the bully is winning.

"There Is Only One Inviolate Truth in the Declaration"
from "In Defense of Rural America"
By Ron Ewart, President of the
National Association of Rural Landowners
and nationally recognized author and speaker on freedom and property rights issues
Copyright Sunday, July 21, 2019 - All Rights Reserved
"Life is a fight to stay alive and a fight to stop others from taking your freedom, your property and your life from you. The fight is eternal, from birth to death." Ron Ewart
That "truth" in the Declaration of Independence, above all others, is:
"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 means each American is a SOVEREIGN unto them selves. No one, including government, owns you, your labors, or your property. If they take them, they must take them by force, violence, or by the law.
By virtue of God-given, natural rights, you are a sovereign. The people created the American government, not the other way around. The people dictate to the government through their representatives. Unfortunately, for the last 100 plus years, either by ignorance or apathy, the people have abdicated their duty to control the government by ignoring what their representatives were and are doing. When you remove the PARENT, the CHILDREN are free to do whatever they want to do ..... and the CHILDREN (politicians) have been having a Hay Day and getting filthy rich at the People's expense. Also, the government has been successful in dividing the people such that they fight with each other instead of turning their anger on the government. The people have paid a terrible price for not paying attention to their duty and responsibility to hold government accountable to the principles of freedom and have no one to blame but them selves for what America has become. They have forgotten that the people are SOVEREIGN.
If you do not believe that you are sovereign then you are, by default, just another government slave! If you are content to be a slave, nothing we say can help you.
The hard fact is, there are powerful forces (socialism, radical environmentalism and one-world-order) in America and worldwide that are trying to take your freedom and your property from you. Some are even trying to take away your religion, or snuff out your life. If you don't believe this is true, you are floating blindly down a river towards a high, steep waterfall, where certain death or enslavement awaits you.
Sadly, over half of Americans have no idea what is going on, or know the history of American freedom, nor do they care. (If you want to learn about that history, in depth, click HERE.) About a third of Americans know what is going on but won't lift a finger to change it. That leaves a little over 15% of the people who care enough to want to preserve and defend their individual sovereignty and their freedom, by any means. But is 15% enough to preserve freedom and save America from the rule of the mob?
What the people refuse to acknowledge is:
“Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience, and are left to the common refuge which God hath provided for all men against force and violence.” John Locke
If a Sovereign is to remain a Sovereign, he or she must defend their sovereignty with all the strength and prowess they can muster, using all the legal tools available to them under America's Constitutional Republic. Half measures will not succeed. Otherwise, the only other alternative is to go to war with the government, with all "going to war" means.
You may say that America is in great shape. The economy is humming a long at a brisk rate. People have jobs and money in their pockets. We have more freedom than any other country on Earth. But what you see on the surface and what is being delivered to you by the media and other sources, belies the true condition of America. The hard fact is, if a nation's fundamentals of freedom are not preserved and defended, the nation dies. Those fundamentals are not being preserved and a once-free nation IS dying.
America, that was the vision of the Founding Fathers and what many older Americans have known, has literally disintegrated before our eyes. Socialism, radical environmentalism, one-world government and a zillion rules and regulations now dominate our lives. Sadly ..... MOST AMERICANS JUST SIT THERE, BLIND TO REALITY!
Freedom and individual sovereignty, under the unalienable rights to life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness have no meaning, if Americans just sit there.
Our borders are being overrun, the rule of law is being trampled, our public treasury is being drained and America's culture is being seriously diluted by millions of legal and illegal aliens, all happening while we just sit there.
The Democrats destroyed a good health care system under Obama Care. A U. S. Supreme Court Chief Justice ruled it Constitutional when it was plain for all to see that Obama Care was blatantly unconstitutional ..... and yet we just sat there while we lost our doctors, our health care plan and our premiums more than doubled.
For at least three generations, our kids in public schools and colleges have been and are being brainwashed and indoctrinated in socialism, radical environmentalism and the one-world-order, while we just sit there. Meanwhile, this socialist and radical environmental insanity is propagated from one generation to the next.
Cities and states declare sanctuary for illegal aliens and illegal alien criminals, in violation of the law and we just sit there. Innocent Americans are being killed, ravaged, raped and robbed by illegal aliens and we look the other way.
Cities, counties and states under Democrat control, are breaking the rule of law and going broke and in bankruptcy, while implementing insane socialist policies. (Think Baltimore, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle.) No one lifts a finger to change it.
For decades our service men have been forced to accept substandard, if not grossly negligent, health care from the Veteran's Administration and Americans did nothing to change it, until Trump came along.
Political correctness and gender confusion now dominate the public discourse to the point of absurdity and yet Americans roll their eyes and say, "it doesn't affect me."
Entertainment has become so gross, standards of decency set so low and the general acceptance of drug and alcohol use so pervasive, that it is poisoning our culture. Lost production, souring relationships, high divorce rates and rampant overdose and suicides have become ubiquitous. The people continue to wallow in decadency, in tacit approval. Have Americans lost their collective minds?
Current Democrats are now proposing socialist policies (actually they have been doing it for decades) that would have made King George the III blush in embarrassment, policies that 100 years ago would have started a revolution in America and we just sit there while laughing in disbelief.
Rural landowners are being terrorized and driven out of business, driven off their lands, going bankrupt and committing suicide at alarming rates by land use and insane environmental laws ..... but we just sit there.
Under Agenda 21 and sustainable development "stack 'em and rack 'em" policies, people are being crammed into big cities.

Americans have done nothing while America's national debt swept over $22 Trillion. The lion's share of that debt can be placed directly at the hands of the Democrat Party (and its socialist policies) and all those who voted Democrat over the last 80 to 100 years, as Democrats moved farther and farther left towards pure socialism and one-world government. They have sent us into national bankruptcy for the sole purpose of buying votes.
The people of Hong Kong are showing more guts and courage than the people of America, in their fight against the dictatorial edicts of mainland China.
Three major factors have contributed to America's decline, 1) the lust for absolute power, especially from liberals and 2) institutional corruption which affects all parties, politicians, judges and bureaucrats, at every level of government and 3) a cultural decline in morality and integrity. We may not be able to do much about the "lust for absolute power", or a "cultural decline in morality and integrity", but we certainly can do something about exposing "institutional corruption." It would only take a small fraction of the American population (say 10,000) to root out corruption on a grand scale. Is there such a plan? Yes, HERE. But are there 10,000 Americans who would devote some of their time to researching and investigating political corruption in order to pull America out of the death spiral it is on? We hope so.

It was White Europeans that brought a totally unique kind of freedom to America, a freedom based on the irrevocable principle (an inviolate truth) that "man is endowed by his creator with certain unalienable rights, that among those rights are life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness." "Yes, White Men Built America. It's A Fact." But after centuries of decay, White men and women, blacks, Latinos, Asians and Native Americans are tearing her apart to the point that America has now become unrecognizable from its beginnings.
If we do nothing, we will not be able to preserve that one inviolate truth in the Declaration of Independence and we will descend into European style socialism or fascism and lose our American exceptionalism. Not only will Americans lose their individual sovereignty and freedom, but the rest of the world will be condemned to a living Hell on Earth. It doesn't get any planer than that.
Sadly, that is exactly what Americans are going to do. NOTHING! They will do nothing because Americans really don't care about individual sovereignty or unalienable rights any more. Some do, but nowhere near enough.

That "truth" in the Declaration of Independence, above all others, is:
"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 means each American is a SOVEREIGN unto them selves. No one, including government, owns you, your labors, or your property. If they take them, they must take them by force, violence, or by the law.
By virtue of God-given, natural rights, you are a sovereign. The people created the American government, not the other way around. The people dictate to the government through their representatives. Unfortunately, for the last 100 plus years, either by ignorance or apathy, the people have abdicated their duty to control the government by ignoring what their representatives were and are doing. When you remove the PARENT, the CHILDREN are free to do whatever they want to do ..... and the CHILDREN (politicians) have been having a Hay Day and getting filthy rich at the People's expense. Also, the government has been successful in dividing the people such that they fight with each other instead of turning their anger on the government. The people have paid a terrible price for not paying attention to their duty and responsibility to hold government accountable to the principles of freedom and have no one to blame but them selves for what America has become. They have forgotten that the people are SOVEREIGN.
If you do not believe that you are sovereign then you are, by default, just another government slave! If you are content to be a slave, nothing we say can help you.
The hard fact is, there are powerful forces (socialism, radical environmentalism and one-world-order) in America and worldwide that are trying to take your freedom and your property from you. Some are even trying to take away your religion, or snuff out your life. If you don't believe this is true, you are floating blindly down a river towards a high, steep waterfall, where certain death or enslavement awaits you.
Sadly, over half of Americans have no idea what is going on, or know the history of American freedom, nor do they care. (If you want to learn about that history, in depth, click HERE.) About a third of Americans know what is going on but won't lift a finger to change it. That leaves a little over 15% of the people who care enough to want to preserve and defend their individual sovereignty and their freedom, by any means. But is 15% enough to preserve freedom and save America from the rule of the mob?
What the people refuse to acknowledge is:
“Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience, and are left to the common refuge which God hath provided for all men against force and violence.” John Locke
If a Sovereign is to remain a Sovereign, he or she must defend their sovereignty with all the strength and prowess they can muster, using all the legal tools available to them under America's Constitutional Republic. Half measures will not succeed. Otherwise, the only other alternative is to go to war with the government, with all "going to war" means.
You may say that America is in great shape. The economy is humming a long at a brisk rate. People have jobs and money in their pockets. We have more freedom than any other country on Earth. But what you see on the surface and what is being delivered to you by the media and other sources, belies the true condition of America. The hard fact is, if a nation's fundamentals of freedom are not preserved and defended, the nation dies. Those fundamentals are not being preserved and a once-free nation IS dying.
America, that was the vision of the Founding Fathers and what many older Americans have known, has literally disintegrated before our eyes. Socialism, radical environmentalism, one-world government and a zillion rules and regulations now dominate our lives. Sadly ..... MOST AMERICANS JUST SIT THERE, BLIND TO REALITY!
Freedom and individual sovereignty, under the unalienable rights to life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness have no meaning, if Americans just sit there.
Our borders are being overrun, the rule of law is being trampled, our public treasury is being drained and America's culture is being seriously diluted by millions of legal and illegal aliens, all happening while we just sit there.
The Democrats destroyed a good health care system under Obama Care. A U. S. Supreme Court Chief Justice ruled it Constitutional when it was plain for all to see that Obama Care was blatantly unconstitutional ..... and yet we just sat there while we lost our doctors, our health care plan and our premiums more than doubled.
For at least three generations, our kids in public schools and colleges have been and are being brainwashed and indoctrinated in socialism, radical environmentalism and the one-world-order, while we just sit there. Meanwhile, this socialist and radical environmental insanity is propagated from one generation to the next.
Cities and states declare sanctuary for illegal aliens and illegal alien criminals, in violation of the law and we just sit there. Innocent Americans are being killed, ravaged, raped and robbed by illegal aliens and we look the other way.
Cities, counties and states under Democrat control, are breaking the rule of law and going broke and in bankruptcy, while implementing insane socialist policies. (Think Baltimore, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle.) No one lifts a finger to change it.
For decades our service men have been forced to accept substandard, if not grossly negligent, health care from the Veteran's Administration and Americans did nothing to change it, until Trump came along.
Political correctness and gender confusion now dominate the public discourse to the point of absurdity and yet Americans roll their eyes and say, "it doesn't affect me."
Entertainment has become so gross, standards of decency set so low and the general acceptance of drug and alcohol use so pervasive, that it is poisoning our culture. Lost production, souring relationships, high divorce rates and rampant overdose and suicides have become ubiquitous. The people continue to wallow in decadency, in tacit approval. Have Americans lost their collective minds?
Current Democrats are now proposing socialist policies (actually they have been doing it for decades) that would have made King George the III blush in embarrassment, policies that 100 years ago would have started a revolution in America and we just sit there while laughing in disbelief.
Rural landowners are being terrorized and driven out of business, driven off their lands, going bankrupt and committing suicide at alarming rates by land use and insane environmental laws ..... but we just sit there.
Under Agenda 21 and sustainable development "stack 'em and rack 'em" policies, people are being crammed into big cities. Those with any intellect at all, know very well that big cities are hazardous to the general population and are breeding grounds for socialism. (See: "Big Cities Spawn Corrupt Socialists Like Hillary Clinton")

"Jack, They Want To Take My Baby"

"I have embraced crying mothers who have lost their children because our politicians put their personal agendas before the national good. I have no patience for injustice, no tolerance for government incompetence and no sympathy for leaders who fail their citizens." Donald Trump
Susan: (answering a ring at the front door with fear in her voice yelled) "Jack! There is a child protective services officer at the front door that says he has the authority to take my baby!"
Jack: (yelling from the kitchen) "Honey, don't let him in. I'll be right there."
Jack: (rushing to the front door Jack addresses the officer) "What's the meaning of this? You have no reason to take our son. Let me see your identification." (the officer pulls out his badge and identification)
CPS Officer: (standing with his hand on his gun) "We have had an anonymous complaint from one of your neighbors that told us you are abusing your child." (Susan starts screaming)
Jack: (with indignation) "Anonymous complaint!!!!! Who ever said it, it's a lie. We have not been mistreating our son whatsoever. We love our son. Who is this neighbor?"
CPS Officer: "That's confidential information. We don't have to reveal the source of the complaint. We're duty bound and authorized by law to investigate any child abuse complaint. You need to hand over your child immediately while we investigate."
Jack: (with greater indignation in his voice) "Over my dead body. Do you have a legal warrant or court order to take my son?"
CPS Officer: "I don't need a warrant. (yes, he does) Hand over your son now, or you are in violation of the law and I'll arrest both of you for obstruction of justice." (The officer reaches for the baby but Susan moves farther back into the house and holds her baby even tighter, not willing to let go. Jack moves in front of the officer to protect his wife and baby.)
Jack: (to the CPS officer) "We are law abiding citizens and we have not abused our son in any way. You're not going to take our baby, so get off our property, immediately."
CPS Officer: "OK, but I'll be back and this time I will be accompanied by a SWAT team."
Jack slams the door shut. He and Susan now have to worry what is next for them. Could they lose their baby to government authorities without cause, at the point of a gun? And if they do, what is their recourse? Why is government meddling in their lives? How did we come from individual freedom and unalienable rights to this?
"Reason on-line" wrote recently that: "Even if President Trump's new order keeps immigrant families at the border from being torn asunder, we still live in a country where the government can seize children from perfectly loving, competent parents. It happens all the time, and not just to immigrant families. American citizens are forced to deal with these injustices, thanks to the actions of child protective services."
"In a single year, 2016, the number of children placed in foster care was 273,539. As the National Coalition for Child Protection put it, 'the number of children separated from their parents at the border since April is almost equal to the number taken by U.S. child protective services (CPS) every three days.'"
NOTE: If you receive a visit from Child Protective Services (CPS), DO NOT LET THEM IN YOUR HOME unless CPS presents a warrant or court order, signed and dated by a judge. After the visit, document in a memorandum, everything you can remember about the encounter, including the date and time. Sign it and keep it for reference. Be sure to get the officer's name, badge number, and request he show his identification. Say as little as possible, because what you say can be used against you. (For guidance when visited by a government agent, use our "Public Servant Questionnaire.") Contact a CPS attorney to determine your rights. Also, caution your children to NOT talk to ANY officer, or anyone else for that matter, that comes to the front door. The officer will pump the child for information that a child will give innocently, information you may not want the officer to know. Also, consider installing our "REVOCATION OF IMPLIED LICENSE" No Trespass sign. This sign legally revokes the U. S. Supreme Court-sanctioned "implied license" that every government agent or law enforcement officer has to trespass on your property. Many positive statements from those that have installed the sign are a testament to the sign's effectiveness.

All over America, government agents and law enforcement, supported by very restrictive laws passed by your representatives in local, state and the federal government, are invading the lives of American citizens on issues that would have caused a revolution, if in-acted 100 years ago. America has become a police state.
There was a recent case of a farmer that planted wheat on his 450-acre farm in Northern California. To do so he tilled the soil, as any farmer would, to ready the ground for seed application. An Army Corps of Engineers (COE) Agent was driving by and noticed that the tilling took place over some low spots in the ground. These small low spots, called vernal pools, would collect water after a rainstorm and then slowly percolate back into the soil. There loss to tilling would be inconsequential, except to a radical environmentalist. But COE called these vernal pools "Waters of the United States" under the Clean Water Act and charged the farmer with "filling in a wetland." The farmer sued the government requesting all information about the violation under the due process clause of the U. S. Constitution. The government counter sued the farmer and if found guilty, the farmer faced $45,000,000 in fines and penalties. Not wanting to take that risk at trial, the farmer settled with the government for about $1,100,000. So the farmer became a victim of government extortion, coercion and blackmail for an infinitesimal reduction in all the wetlands that exist on the planet. Ludicrous!
That is how crazy it has gotten under the rule by Democrat socialists and radical environmentalists. There are tens of thousands of American that have met the same government-extortion fate. Ask the owners of Gibson Guitars about government extortion, why they were raided and the costs they had to pay? Just ask Roger Stone why he was the victim of an early morning SWAT team raid under the Mueller investigation, while none of the Hillary Clinton clan received the same treatment for the same violations of the law? We know because somehow CNN, by a stramge coincidence, just happened to be there during the raid.
Much of what we are enduring today is the result of institutionalized corruption and too many laws. You think you are a law-abiding citizen, don't you? Think again! You have been, you are now, and you will continue to break the law for the rest of your life, because there are too many laws, with millions more laws to follow. Many of these laws are totally unconstitutional but have never been challenged in the courts.
Sometimes you break the law without any knowledge of it, even though ignorance of the law is not an excuse, if you are caught. But worse, millions of Americans are breaking the law because they are convinced the laws are illegal or just plain stupid. With more people intentionally breaking the law, eventually the rule of law breaks down, as does our Republic. In a sour twist of injustice, millions of illegal aliens are breaking our law and being rewarded for it, on the backs of the legal American taxpayer.
The examples of stupid laws would fill volumes. Examples of conflicting laws would fill even more volumes. It turns out that most lawmakers just aren't very smart. Most of them are attorneys.
Since the final draft of the U. S. Constitution became the Supreme Law of the Land, legislators have been legislating, that is they have been passing law ..... after law ..... after law. Do you want to know why you are an unwitting criminal? Here is why. “The U.S. Code, which contains all federal statutes, occupies 56,009 single-spaced pages. Its 47 volumes take up nine feet of shelf space. An annotated version, which attempts to bring order out of chaos, is three feet long and has 230 hardcover volumes and 36 paperback supplements. Administrative lawmaking under statutes fill up the 207-volume Code of Federal Regulations, which spans 21 feet of shelf space and contains more than 134,488 pages of regulatory law. … Federal law is further augmented by more than 2,756 volumes of judicial precedent, taking up 160 yards (almost twice as long as a football field) of law-library shelving.” (These statistics are now several years old, while the number of laws has increased dramatically.)
This is just federal law and it is growing by the second. All of this federal law does not include the millions of state, county and city laws that have been passed since we won our freedom in our first revolution. State and local laws are also growing by the second.
Too many laws create competing special interests that lobby the system to entrench their own little worlds, while the un-represented (that's millions of Americans) are left out in the cold. America has become a government of cronyism, in a world run by cronies, in an atmosphere of corruption, Hell bent on driving America and Americans into unabashed socialism and the one-world-order.
Too many laws create victims who inadvertently violate one or more laws and spend their life's savings trying to defend themselves against an intransigent, all-powerful and abusive government. Too many laws lead to powerful, entitled special interests and the innocent victims are left with no political power at all.
Interestingly, America contains an almost ghostly silent majority .... mostly silent and heard from rarely. Most of this group is just trying to live out their lives as best they can, earn a living and raise their children in a country they thought was the land of the free. You know, a government they could trust, a government that protects the unalienable, individual rights as granted to us by our creator and codified into law by our constitution, and a government that operates within the enumerated powers allowed them by that very same constitution.
Unfortunately, in the silent majority's silence, their government, without the silent majority's consent, assumed powers that far exceeded their constitutional powers. They passed laws to pander to (or buy off) constituency or special interest groups, or to increase their political powers and then levied ever-increasing taxes to pay for it all, leading to an ever-rising national debt. Even as the regulations rose exponentially and as taxes became more burdensome, the silent majority, to their discredit, still remained silent. Their silence, their apathy and their disinterest in what government has been and is doing, has unknowingly turned each and everyone of them into criminals ..... law breakers, who can be subject to fines and imprisonment for violating laws they know nothing about.
That is why a CPS officer can come to your door and take your away child by force, without cause. Too many insane laws are why lawful citizens are being harassed, coerced, extorted, black mailed, or thrown in jail by government agents, enforcing too many laws.
If the silent majority remains silent for much longer, there will be no stopping the avalanche of socialism, radical environmentalism and the rush to one-world-order that will crush everything in its path. We have tried for 14 years to get people motivated to take on a corrupt government of too many laws, but there were too few interested. The American people just aren't in the mood, or are too afraid to take on the roll of the "Consent of the Governed" and hold their government accountable.
Sadly and in the end, people get what they deserve, by their actions or inactions, as the case may be. Will the American people wait until a CPS Officer knocks on their door to take their baby away, or haul them off to jail, in an overt and growing abuse of police power? Probably! The German people did, which led to World War 2 and tens of millions of unnecessary deaths. What America needs is more "Mavericks" to preserve and defend freedom.

Unfortunately, in the silent majority's silence, their government, without the silent majority's consent, assumed powers that far exceeded their constitutional powers. They passed laws to pander to (or buy off) constituency or special interest groups, or to increase their political powers and then levied ever-increasing taxes to pay for it all, leading to an ever-rising national debt. Even as the regulations rose exponentially and as taxes became more burdensome, the silent majority, to their discredit, still remained silent. Their silence, their apathy and their disinterest in what government has been and is doing, has unknowingly turned each and everyone of them into criminals ..... law breakers, who can be subject to fines and imprisonment for violating laws they know nothing about.
That is why a CPS officer can come to your door and take your away child by force, without cause. Too many insane laws are why lawful citizens are being harassed, coerced, extorted, black mailed, or thrown in jail by government agents, enforcing too many laws.
If the silent majority remains silent for much longer, there will be no stopping the avalanche of socialism, radical environmentalism and the rush to one-world-order that will crush everything in its path. We have tried for 14 years to get people motivated to take on a corrupt government of too many laws, but there were too few interested. The American people just aren't in the mood, or are too afraid to take on the roll of the "Consent of the Governed" and hold their government accountable.
Sadly and in the end, people get what they deserve, by their actions or inactions, as the case may be. Will the American people wait until a CPS Officer knocks on their door to take their baby away, or haul them off to jail, in an overt and growing abuse of police power? Probably! The German people did, which led to World War 2 and tens of millions of unnecessary deaths. What America needs is more "Mavericks" to preserve and defend freedom.
