America is no longer free

America is no longer free and it has not been free in the lifetime of any of us, or of our parents, or of our grandparents.

Consider just a few, almost random, examples.

Example 1:

In 1860 and 1861 several states attempted to leave the “Union” and form governments of their own.

They were following the example of their own forefathers, who had left the British “Union” and formed their own governments pursuant to the words of the Declaration of Independence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Those states were invaded by forces of the Central Government and eventually forced, at the point of a bayonet, to return to that “Union” they had attempted to separate themselves from. Since that time, no american has truly been free.

Example 2:

During the invasion of the Sovereign States of the South the criminal government in Washington, DC, instituted an income tax to pay for their immoral and illegal war. Though the income tax was eventually repealed, it became a permanent fixture with the passage of the 16^th Amendment to the US Constitution in 1913.

Since that time no american has had control over his own property or the wages or profits that he has earned. Since that time no american has had any right to privacy in the matter of his own financial dealings, but has been required to report all such dealings to the central government. Since that time, no american has truly been free.

Example 3:

In 1934 the National Firearms Act was passed taxing certain firearms (including automatic weapons, short-barreled shotguns and rifles, silencers, etc.). All purchasers of such weapons were also required to submit paperwork to the Department of the Treasury. Since that time, no american has truly been free.

Other Federal firearms legislation has followed imposing more restrictions, more taxes and more paperwork. (1938, 1968, 1972, 1986, 1990, 1994, etc.) Since this time, no american has truly been free.

Now one must fill out intrusive paperwork to purchase a firearm from any retail outlet. Since this time, no american has truly been free.

Example 4:

Since 1994 it has been against Federal law to install a toilet in your own home that utilizes more than 1.6 gallons of water per flush. AGAINST FEDERAL LAW!

I realize that is example may appear to be somewhat frivolous, but it demonstrates the extent to which our rights have been restricted by a pervasive feral federal government.

Since this time, no american has been truly free.

Example 5:

In spite of the natural and God-given right to free speech, recent court decisions have allowed for the imposition of “free speech zones” to allow subjects of the US to exercise their supposed “First Amendment rights.”

This in spite of the fact that the Amendment specifically states that no law shall made concerning that right and that it shall not be prohibited or abridged. At one time, all of America was a free speech zone, now the government ropes off restrictive and isolated spots in which you may exercise this “right.”

A “right” that government can restrict is not a right at all -- it is merely a privilege granted at the whim of our rulers.

Simply stated, if you have to ask for permission, it is NOT a right!

Example 6: [Added December 7, 2021]

I'm updating this old blog from 2014 with one more example from the present. It is certain  that things have not gotten any better in amerika in the past seven years.

As you might expect I am speaking specifically of the Covid Scamdemic and the various lockdown, mandates, and requirements that have been imposed in the past two years.

There is no way that you can be considered a free man if some governmental "authority" can require that you receive an injection into your body. An injection which is, by the way, experimental and dangerous -- yes even, potentially fatal. 

If you do not own yourself, you own nothing, and you are worse than a slave!

If you will not stand up now, it is certain that you never will.

*   *   *

I’ve touched on just a few assorted items; any thinking person can add hundreds, if not thousands of their own.

Don’t fool yourself. You are not an "American Citizen"; you are a subject of the amerikan empire.

It’s time to stand up and say NO!

I WILL NOT “SERVE” IN THE EMPIRE’S ARMED FORCES.

I WILL NOT ALLOW MYSELF TO BE USED TO IMPOSE THE EMPIRE’S UNGODLY DEMANDS UPON MY FELLOW MAN.

I WILL NOT ALLOW THE EMPIRE TO INVADE MY BODY. A BODY WHICH ULTIMATELY  BELONGS TO GOD AND NOT TO THE STATE!

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?  (20)  For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

As asserted by my 18^th  Century Baptist forefathers:

The Amerikan Religion

In the District of Corruption Columbia stands a temple to one of the great gods of the Amerikan Empire. Engraved in stone on the wall behind the idol of that god is the acknowledgement that the “memorial” is, in fact, a “temple.”

According to the primary definition found in Webster’s 1828 Dictionary a temple is:

1. A public edifice erected in honor of some deity. Among pagans, a building erected to some pretended deity, and in which the people assembled to worship.

Lincoln is the preeminent deity of BOTH sanctioned political parties. His theology of brute government force is the foundational principle of BOTH of those criminal syndicates.

In the former Soviet Union the statues to Stalin, who was responsible for the death of millions of his countrymen, have largely been removed. In the good ole’ USA, Abraham Lincoln, who was DIRECTLY responsible for the deaths of over one million of his countrymen, is still worshiped. [NOTE: In terms of the present US population, the equivalent number of deaths would approach 10 million.]

Please explain to me again how America is an “exceptional nation.”

Given the altar at which the American Sheeple are led worship, is it any wonder that we continue live under the tyrannous dictatorship of Barak Hussien Obama? Which dictatorship was preceded by those of the Bushes, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, etc., etc. continuously from the  time of the Great and Wonderful Abraham.

Some thoughts that were on my mind this week:

1.   Do you suppose that the patriots who fought for liberty in the 18^th Century would ever have supposed that unelected Feral Federal judges would be ordering sovereign states to endorse sodomite marriages (or anything else for that matter)?

2.   Do you think they would have supposed that governors and attorney generals and state judges and sheriffs would bow to such orders?

When is a governor going to stand up and say: “WE WILL NOT COMPLY?”

The time has come to just say “NO”, to the government enshrined in Babylon on the Potomac.

The time has come to restore local accountable government.

The time has come to reject the pagan religion of Lincolnism (statism).

Abjure the realm!

Secede in your own mind and heart and then advocate the same for your local community.

But you say, “They won’t allow us to secede, we cannot possibly stand up to them.”

Well then, I guess we should just continue to live in bondage and slavery.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom — go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen! – Samuel Adams

Doing the Happy Dance for the GOP's Victory

I sure hope that all you folks who were doing the "happy dance" after the Republicans took control of the Senate have been watching what they are doing in Washington.

They have been selling the folks that voted for them down the river. They have been plunging a knife ever deeper into the backs of their constituents.

Republicans have controlled the House of Representatives since 2011, they could have refused to fund Obamacare and a vast host of other un-Constitutional programs since that time -- but they did not.

Now they are busily cutting deals to make sure that funding for Obamacare continues and that Obama's latest treasonous executive order granting amnesty to millions of ILLEGAL aliens is fully funded.

We must not have a "government shut-down", you know -- AND WHY NOT??? Shutting down the government sounds like a great idea to me.

There are no differences between the two "authorized" political parties.

You have no representatives in Washington.

Your recent vote was a futile gesture.

Tell me again why you were so proud of that "I voted" sticker??

If you are honest you will admit that you should have worn this sticker:

Me, I did not vote . . . because . . . I DO NOT CONSENT!

I'm done with their silly games . . .

Time has come to ignore Washington. Don't waste your time any longer.

It is time to go our own way. It is time to Secede from the Evil Empire.

Begin in your own heart and mind.

The mess in Ferguson . . . and beyond . . .

Some lessons to be learned:

1. If you serve in the Empire's standing army, whether the organized military or the militarized police of today, you can expect to the thrown to the wolves if it advances the Empire's objectives to do so.

- Rightly or wrongly, a grand jury determined that Officer Darren Wilson should not be indicted for the shooting death of Michael Brown. In spite of that, Wilson was essentially forced to resign without any severance from the Ferguson PD.

- Mommas don't let your babies grow up to be Imperial Stormtroopers. It does not turn out well for their victims and often times does not turn out well for them.

2. The Empire's rulers and bureaucrats care nothing about the honest, hard-working citizen or his property.

- After rioting, looting and burning became the order of the day in Ferguson, the Oath Keepers deployed armed volunteers to secure businesses in the area that were willing to accept their assistance. None of the businesses they guarded were harmed.

- The Oath Keepers were ordered to stand down by the Ferguson police, based upon a very twisted interpretation of a city ordinance. To their credit, the Oath Keeprers have maintained their posts.

- The Governor of Missouri deployed the National Guard, but never utilized them to protect area businesses. They did protect National Guard and police headquarters.

- The militarized police, the nationalized National Guard, and the Amerikan military are not our friends or allies or protectors.

- Again, Mommas don't let your babies grow up to be Imperial Stormtroopers, nor federal bureaucrats, nor boot licking state governors.

- And while I'm on that note, please don't thank me for my service . . . if I had it to do over again I never would have joined the Amerikan military and I'll do all I can to encourage any young person from making that same mistake today.

3. Bottom line: Make preparations to protect yourself and your family and your property. Do not expect ANY help from the government or its minions, but do expect them to harass, impede and prohibit.

Are you watching the brave stand of the GOP?

Those of you who were encouraged by the recent Republican gains, have you been watching what your heroes are doing?  Have you been watching their surrender and their abject submission to the Obama regime?

The bravest of the brave, like our own Ted Yoho, have been talking about "largely symbolic efforts." The Republicans ALREADY have control of the House of Representatives, and have for several years, and yet they will not exercise their Constitutional duties. They will not cut off the funding to Obama's UNCONSTITUTIONAL creations, they will not impeach, they only make noise to placate the sheeple back home.

Stick us with a fork! We're done!

OK, so some of you may think that I sound pessimistic or depressed or resigned.

Believe me, that is NOT the case. I have absolute confidence in my Sovereign Lord and I know that He is working His perfect will in ALL things . . . for the good of His people.

Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him. -- Job 13:15

But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him. -- Hab 2:20  

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. -- Rom 8:28 

I don't claim to understand all things, that's not my problem. My duty is, by His Grace, to faithfully stand until He calls me home.

By His Grace, I will continue to resist the pervasive tyranny that surrounds us. Ultimate victory is ours. If not in this world, then in the one to come.

Southern Thanksgiving

I had a blessed time with family over the Thanksgiving holiday.

I didn't even work up a respectable rant, so I'm sharing an article by Chris Sullivan, past Commander-in-Chief of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

Some of you are, no doubt, aware of the lies with which we were indoctrinated during our school years concerning the Thanksgiving holiday, but many of you probably are not. Our children continue to be brain-washed about the wonderful New England Pilgrims and Puritans, who have ever been a bane of our Southern way of life and culture.

A Day of Thanksgiving and Prayer

By Christopher M. Sullivan
Former Commander-in-Chief, Sons of Confederate Veterans

Modern pundits often credit U.S. President Abraham Lincoln with proclaiming the first Thanksgiving Day. Or, even more prominently, we see the first Thanksgiving Day associated with the Pilgrims who settled at Plymouth Rock, in what is now Massachusetts.

Like so much of what we hear about American history this is simply wrong.

The first Thanksgiving in this country was, in fact, celebrated at Jamestown, Virginia in December 1607. The Berkley Plantation’s charter required that the day of the colonist’s safe arrival, “…shall be yearly and perpetually kept holy as a day of thanksgiving….” The sour-faced Pilgrims were still thirteen years into the future.

Of course, the politically correct love to point to the happy scene of the Pilgrims in their black garb, white collars and stiff hats, sitting at a grand banquet with the ruddy savages, all in all a scene of peace and ethnic tranquility. This joint celebration took place because the Pilgrims’ socialistic economic practices (i.e., a common storehouse) had driven them to the brink of starvation, before the Indians took pity and rescued them. If those Indians had only known . . .

But, despite all the credit incorrectly given to the Pilgrims of New England, it is President Lincoln who is oft credited with the first Thanksgiving proclamation because it began an unbroken string of such acts occurring in late November.

But Lincoln was not even the first president to do so since George Washington had issued such a proclamation in 1789. More to the point for us, Confederate President Jefferson Davis declared Friday, November 15, 1861 as, “…a day of national humiliation and prayer…,” — a full two years before Lincoln’s more famous declaration.

Now, Thanksgiving Day is little more than the opening day of shopping season. In 1861, however, it was a different story.

At the time he issued his proclamation, Pres. Davis understood the enormity of the danger the South was facing and his decision to call upon the, “. . . clergy and the people of these Confederate States to repair on that day to their homes and usual places of public worship, and to implore blessing of Almighty God upon our people, that he may give us victory over our enemies, preserve our homes and altars from pollution, and secure to us the restoration of peace and prosperity” was more than just a platitude.

Robin Hood . . . just let the government do the stealing for you

I don’t have anything but rabbit ears for my TV. I have no desire for the expense or the content of cable or satellite. Why should I pay to have a hundred channels and none of them worth watching, when I can have ten channels and none of them worth watching for free?

We do have a local broadcast channel called MeTV that carries old shows from my youth -- from the 50’s forward. I suppose other than the News I watch MeTV as much as anything else.

Last week I saw an old Andy Griffith show that was first aired in 1963. I would have been thirteen years old at the time.

Something in the show really caught my attention and reaffirmed to me that television has been an anti-liberty propaganda tool almost from the beginning. I’m sure there’ve been some worthwhile things on television, I just can’t think of any at the moment.

In this episode entitled “Opie and His Merry Men,” Opie and his friends are playing Robin Hood out in the woods when they come upon a bum. I realize that there are no bums anymore, just “homeless people,” but in 1963 there were still bums. As was the case with most bums back in 1963, this fellow did not work and had absolutely no desire to do so. He did, however, manage to convince Opie and his friends to play Robin Hood in real life and bring him food and other things from their own homes.

When Andy discovers what is taking place, he and Opie have a heart to heart talk in which Andy explains that “stealing is stealing” and that the boys ought not to have taken the things they did and that it was simply against the law. The dialogue then proceeds as follows:

Opie: Robbin’ from the rich to give to the poor . . . We was just doing a good deed.

Andy: We do that all the time, too. We take from the rich and give to the poor, only we do that by law, by taxes. Folks that’s too old or too sick to take care for themselves, and need help we give it to them.

Where I’m from, we would call that socialism, but perhaps that’s just me.

I do believe that we have a Christian obligation to those who truly cannot take care of themselves. But in no way is this a function of government. It is a function of family and church and organized VOLUNTARY charities.

Paul’s words to the saints in Thessalonica are still true:

2Th 3:10-12  For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.  (11)  For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.  (12)  Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

As Andy said, “stealing is stealing,” however, doing it under the cover of law, by legislation or majority vote, still doesn’t make it right. All agree that if I rob my neighbor on the left to feed my neighbor on the right that I am wrong. How is it that when we do the same thing as the corporate entity of government it becomes right?

Sure we all liked Andy, and he was a great fellow, but his words to Opie may help explain that video he made in support of Obamacare in 2008.

It may also explain some of the fruits of tyranny and socialism that we are now harvesting, perhaps as the result of some seeds planted in malleable minds back in 1963.

Thankfully television has greatly improved in the last fifty years! Beware the subtle propaganda of children’s TV.
