Civis American

Attempted invasion by China. 
 

Iran would likely try to engage in someway. 
 

UN police force on American streets. 
NATO soldiers on American streets. 
 

Martial Law declared by military.  
 

Attempted Gun confiscation.

 

This is not like 1865. The government and federal army is a third party who will not pick any side. In fact they would probably work against the interests of the stronger side. In this case patriots

What is effectively the end of the republic of the United States of America? 
 

Not Joe Biden becoming president. 
 

Rather, it is, 
 

The destruction of the second amendment. 
 

You may think one will lead to the other, but I believe you’d be mistaken. 
 

Tread wisely, tread calmly, tread judiciously

well i dont think we should sit by idle at those times, absolutely is a extreme use of words play here, don't put us in a pickle of cant react that will limit our response leave the door of options on the table ..

if biden wins its not going to be good for ourside antifa and blm will be on steroids and will be running around almost at free will to hit our underbelly

If you think the election of Joe Biden to the presidency is the end of America, then you’ve already lost 

                 Review The Situation 

 

The facts.  

 

Fact #1. ANTIFA cannot go head to head with patriot constitutional militias, isolated ordinary armed citizens defending their property, and local police. 

 

Fact #2. BLM cannot go head to head with patriot constitutional militias, isolated ordinary armed citizens defending their property, and local police. 

 

Fact #3. Many Americans who vote Democrat aren’t inherently violent and waiting in the shadows to engage in a civil war, so it is doubtful a major portion of these voters would join those groups to make up a larger unified group to engage in a full fledged war. 

 

So what is actually before us, if we review it clearly? 

 

A baiting and enticing of patriots and citizen militia members with guns into committing violence and escalating the situation into full fledged unrest and civil war, so the government can take away guns, so they can destroy the citizen militia and to install martial law. 

 

Mark my words: 

 

A. You are going to be tempted into violence 

 

B. You will be enticed into a wider conflict with Antifa and BLM and whoever works with them

 

C. While the federal government and entrenched bureaucratic state laugh and watch on. 

 

Heed this counsel, 

 

You cannot take the bait.

 

 You must keep your cool at all times. 

 

I don’t care how hot your patriotic blood will be boiling. 

 

Live to use it another day. 

 

How is this enticing into conflict going to happen? 

 

Well it’s pretty much impossible to predict the exact chain of events. 

 

But here is one scenario: 

 

On November 3rd, Joe Biden will be declared the outright winner in a very tight race. 

 

Then news reports will trickle in that there was fraud or problems involving the mail in ballots. 

 

They will have to do a recount. 

 

On November 4th, President Trump will refuse to concede. 

 

President Trump will then ask for a Supreme Court decision. 

 

It will go to the Supreme Court. 

 

The Supreme Court will eventually decide President Trump has been re-elected to a second term in this controversial way. 

 

And now, the fuse has been lit on the dynamite that was prepared for the last two years. 

 

Riots, and unrest will begin from antifa and blm and their cohorts. 

 

So what do I suggest you all do from November 4th through those following post election months? 

 

A. Sit back quietly, calmly, with a beer in hand. 

 

Or a hot cup of coffee, and watch it unfold. 

 

Vigilantly. 

 

B. Avoid the big cities.

 

C. Avoid major skirmishes and conflicts. 

 

Wait for them to dare step one foot on your property. 

 

D. Watch ANTIFA and BLM make a fool of themselves. 

 

Watch them get arrested and slowly unravel. 

 

Avoid violence and engaging as aggressors with these groups in any form. 

 

 E. Stay in your local area, and be ready to defend your homes and communities and quickly quash any problems as a lawful citizen militia has the right to do. 

 

It’s not your responsibility to be playing cowboy in areas hours away from your locale. 

 

F. Don’t get sucked into the presidential politics and the election results. 

 

No matter who wins. 

 

Don’t join Trump supporters in an armed revolt if Trump loses. 

 

Don’t take the BAIT! 

 

It will be absolutely disastrous. 

 

Live to fight another day. 

 

If Joe Biden wins, it is not the end of the world, he will have republican houses and senates to deal with for four years and insurmountable pressure from the outside. 

 

 

 The Ghost of General George S. Patton. 

 

                           Scene One

 

Patton: Arghhhh! Whooooooo has woke me from my sweet slumber? 

 

Who’s there!?

 

American: Me, sir, a living American citizen. I didn’t mean to startle you. 

 

Patton: What year is it? 

 

American: The year 2020, sir. 

 

Patton: Well damn it, can’t a man get some rest for his poor soul after years of aches and pains in victorious bloody battle! 

 

It’s only been 75 years for God sake! 

 

American: Okay I didn’t mean to, I am truly sorry, I will leave you be. By the way thank you for your service and your dedication to elevating the American spirit. 

 

Patton: No wait, I have many a tale to tell! 

 

You’ve just given a dead man his greatest wish! 

 

Wait. 
 

You said, “American citizen”

 

The United States of America is still around?  

 

American: Yes it is, sir. 

 

Patton: My God, it’s one of those miracles! 

 

Patton: Is it filled with a bunch of slimy bastard losers? Or conquering winners? 

 

American: I would not frame it that way sir. But, if you have to ask, many are slimy. We do still have some winners, here and there. 

 

Patton: Well damn it, how would you frame it then? 

 

American: In terms of justice and honor. 

 

Patton: Well what is justice and honor, your all of a sudden the American Aristotle, a philosopher now? 

 

American: Giving to each citizen his due and punishing high and egregious crimes against the nation. Representing the people’s true interests with integrity, wisdom and patriotism. 

 

Patton: Damn it, bless your beating heart, you are a Christian I suppose? 

 

American: Yes sir. 

 

Patton: Fine religion, fine religion. 

 

Patton: Well then, how does justice and honor not fit into that damn equation of winners and losers? 

 

American: It depends on how you define winner doesn’t it? A winner does anything to win, and employs any means no matter how Machiavellian and dis-honest right? 

 

Patton: Well there ain’t no secret definitions, no confusing terms, a winner always suppose to be fightin for what’s good, never some anti-American crap! 

 

Americans are supposed to be good! 

 

And a winner does justice and honor to his country! 

 

American: Well sir, you are right thanks for clearing that up. 

 

Patton: Is there more? 

 

American: Yes 

 

Patton: Well what’s on your mind! Spit it out! We may only have a few more minutes, this has never happened before! 

 

American: Okay, I’ll say it. 

 

We the, United States of America are now part of an international army called NATO. 

 

We are obligated to engage in war duties on behalf of other nations, at all times and to lend tax payer funds to this international army alliance. 

 

Patton: Well that’s dangerous and stupid. 

 

American: Why? 

 

Patton: Americans don’t get dictated to, we don’t get told when we have to fight a war, where we have to fight a war or how to use our hard earned resources, we’re a sovereign independent land. We decide as an independent land who we fight and why. 

 

American: We are also now a part of an international governmental body.

 

Patton: Well that’s even more dangerous and stupid. Keep em coming. 

 

American: There was a conflict situation which did not blow over into full physical war, it was called the Cold War between the United States and the Russian-Soviet Union. 

 

Patton: I tried to warn them early about the Soviets! To contain communism and socialism spread in the mid 40’s! 

 

They didn’t listen.

 

American: There was also an attack made on American soil similar to Pearl Harbor, probably even worse than Pearl Harbor. 

 

Patton: Ohhh Pearl Harbor those brave American souls. And those damn samurai kamikaze Japs! A tough, tough, hard, strong people they were! 

 

Patton: Wait, what is this new pearl harbor you talk about young man? 

Speak now. 

 

American: It was a large scale attack on American soil with many civilian deaths. 

But it wasn’t a military target. 

 

Patton: Damnit. When?

 

American: 2001. 

 

Patton: By who? 

 

American: A group in the Middle East, they called them muslim terrorists or Al Qaeda. 

 

Patton: How did this attack occur? 

 

American: Hijacking commercial airplanes while in air with box-cutters and flying them into buildings. 

 

Patton: That’s nuts. 

 

Patton: Well what was there beef with this nation and its people? 

 

American: I think for supposed military interventionism in the Middle East and around the world. 

 

Patton: Damn small fingered light weight globalist politicians, sending other men’s sons to war! Finally caught up to em! 

 

Patton: Who was this group’s leader? Who planned, orchestrated and directed such a successful, skilled military attack? 

 

American: A man in a cave, named Osama Bin Laden, connected to a royal Saudi Arabian family, big into middle eastern oil. 

 

Patton: Huh? Is this fiction? 

 

American: No sir. 

 

Patton: Well why wasn’t this attack stopped by the mighty United States Army as it was happening? 

 

We had 17 year old whipper snappers straight from the corn fields of Iowa and the football gridiron, who could accurately shoot a five foot circle with a military bomber, flying at high speed, all while taking enemy fire!!!

 

American: Well, it is complicated, 

 

There was confusion in the government due to the fact that the attack came on the same day that there were military training drills practicing how to deal with plane hijackings. 

 

Also, the supreme commanders with final authority to deploy air forces were unfortunately in meetings when the planes were hijacked. 

 

And most importantly, a stand down order came from the Vice President. 

 

Patton: Bizarre what your telling me here, I don’t like this talk. Sounds like a whole bunch of nonsense to me. This is not the America I remember, conquerors of the pacific, thwarters of Hitler, deliverers of the world. 

 

Patton: How did this damn hell-bound group ever come into existence? 

 

American: Well, it will get worse sir if I told you the whole story. There were permanent spy type intelligence agencies that were put in place after your death in 1945 and were then well established for decades by 2001. 

 

Patton: Don’t you dare remind me of my death! 

 

American: I’m sorry, I’m sorry I misspoke. 

 

Patton: Get on with it. 

 

American: Well sir, the weird thing is that these spy agencies and the military funded, weaponized and supported this same group that supposedly attacked us. 

 

Patton: No. (Patton raises his fist, his eyes are bulging red) NO WAY! CAN’T BE! 

 

American: Yes.

 

Patton: (Patton raises his fist even higher) 

 

And screams: 

 

UNELECTED BUREAUCRAT BASTARDS!

 

American: The government thought that this group could be employed as a proxy and disrupt Russian presence and power in the Middle East specifically, in Afghanistan where Bin Laden had his operations. As I said the Russian Soviet Union was our new enemy in the 1970’s. 

 

Patton: Sounds like a bunch of bull shit! 

 

Patton: Well what happened to these spy agencies? 

 

Deep and serious reform? Total abolishment? Criminal punishment? 

 

American: Nothing much like that. 

 

Their powers of surveillance only grew

 

Patton: On that sewage terrorist network I suppose?

 

American: Well yes sir, but greater surveillance and governmental suspicions grew on American citizens too. 

 

Patton: Wait, if I fuckin have this correctly, an attack came from a proxy group which was previously funded by your permanent spy agencies, no one was tried for treason, no high official stood trial for crimes, no high military official stood for crimes or dereliction of duty, no military firings, and no high bureaucrat type was fired? Surveillance grew upon ordinary American citizens, the blue-collar worker, the waitress, the owner of the local pop and shop store? 

 

These agencies powers grew larger? 

 

 

 

American: Yes sir, that is precisely what I’m telling you. If all my knowledge is serving me correctly. I may be missing some small details. 

 

Patton: I cannot take anymore of this. 

 

The dead man’s ghostly revival has been ruined by curiosity and patriotism! 

 

Why have you done this to me?!

 

(Patton raises his fist) 

 

BEAT IT! NOW! 

 

American: Okay. I shouldn’t have. It’s been a true honor to speak to you General Patton. I cannot thank you enough!

 

Patton: No damn it, get back here, go on! 

 

THIS AMERICAN SOUL LIVES FOREVER! 

 

American: We’ve been at war for nineteen years as a result of this attack. They continue to sign an authorization for the use of military force from 19 years ago, directly related and as a result of this attack in 2001. 

 

Patton: NO! Against a caveman group your secret government had funded prior? 

 

American: Well partly, but they say new terrorist groups and networks have been formed. Or that it’s still needed to combat this dangerous terrorism. 

 

Patton: Who is “they” that is telling you this? 

 

American: Um, the federal government, the army, the CIA, NSA and DIA. 

 

Patton: Well, damnit, why do you believe them? 

 

American: Well sir I have no reason to be suspicious of my government! 

 

Patton: Why not? 

 

American: Because a thorough investigation was made into this attack and the scope and goals of this group and terrorism in general, were revealed. 

 

Patton: By who? 

 

American: The federal government. 

 

Patton: HA! You’ve been played kid! 

 

You’ve got a government filled with damn rotten losers! They have no business leading the American people! 

 

They at one time funded the group that perpetrated the attacks, 

 

They didn’t prevent the attacks before it happened 

 

They didn’t mobilize to stop the attacks on the day it occurred 

 

They didn’t fire anyone in the military or the spy agencies for the attacks

 

They didn’t try anyone for treason for the attacks 

 

They weren’t reformed but their powers grew

 

And they can’t win a damn war in 19 years against cavemen?! 

 

Your a bunch of damn losers, America! 

 

American: Sir, please. 

 

Patton: Or dare I say something else is going on here? 

 

It doesn’t pass muster. 

It doesn’t smell right. 

It doesn’t sound right 

It doesn’t look right 

 

I know bull shit when I see it! Pure, unadulterated bull shit! Horse dung!

 

American: Well General Patton I truly would like to know what you would do

 

Patton: I would root out of government and military anyone who was even within FIVE FEET of these organizations on the years leading up to it, during it and the years following it. 

 

American: That is a lot of people you are talking about sir, and very important people I might add. 

 

Patton: I don’t give a rat’s ass! Where’s your guts, where’s your intestines, you call yourself American?

 

American: Well, what else would you do General?

 

Patton: I would establish a new investigation into the actions of the military and spy intelligence agency personnel, years before, on the day of and following the attack. 

 

Then, I would try any criminals if found by all proper legal processes of course. 

 

Then, I would abolish these spy agencies. 

 

We’ll leave what I’d do with the military the next time you awaken this American ghost. 

 

American: Why do you think this matters so much? Shouldn’t we just move on? 

 

Patton: Do I have to give you smelling salts? I may slap you! 

 

Because you’ve got a whole damn government and war policy based on it! 

 

You’ve got potential criminals still in your permanent spy agencies and your military! 
 

American: What if there’s no political will for this type of argument? 

 

Patton: Then you are a bunch of damn fools! 

 

Do I need tell you how dangerous this is for future governance and the will to perform war? 

 

You’ve got to root out these losers from any place of responsibility! 

 

You’ve got to shut down these loser spy agencies. No damn nation needs permanent spies, especially loser spies who don’t know what their doing! 

 

They run a foul of responsibility and consequence! 

 

Their a danger! 

 

American: Sir, I appreciate your wisdom. 

 

Would it be alright if I returned once or a few times for more BLOOD and GUTS insight in the future? 

 

Patton: Sure thing kid. But don’t expect me to be this patient next time. 

This American still has much to say. I’m not going out the way I went out. 

 

TO VICTORY! 

 

 

 

THE END OF SCENE ONE.  

Have you organized today? 

 

Did you add another member to your local militia today? 

 

Did you do everything in your power to add an upright and good member to your local militia? 

 

Do you discuss in depth, plans for immediate and sudden gathering and organization? 

 

Do you discuss in depth, potential sudden events, their implications and their dangers? 

 

Do you have enough food to last for the militia and your families in an immediate emergency? 

 

Do you discuss the protection and shelter of your families in an sudden dangerous emergency? 

 

Do you know every militia and its leader in the counties bordering yours? 

 

Do you know every militia and its leader of every militia in your state? 

 

Is there a plan in place to potentially gather these bordering militias and form in the time of an emergency?

 

Do you discuss constitutional matters, historical matters, political matters, survival and military matters, personal matters? 

 

What are the primary concerns of your members? 

 

What do you not know or understand  which you could learn? 

 

What do you know which you could teach others who may not know or understand that skill, that information or knowledge? 

 

Do you personally and fully understand every right that you possess as an American citizen?

 

Do you personally and fully understand natural rights? 

 

Do you personally exercise daily? 

 

This is what a constitutional militia, a legitimate and serious militia is supposed to be doing, if not daily, at least weekly.

 

Don’t let the national guard take over your constitutional responsibility, duty, and what should be your honor as citizens. 

 

That is an utter derogation and abdication of your noble duties as American citizens and not per the intentions of the constitution and the principles of the founding leaders of the nation. 

 

I’ve seen great posts and ideas on this forum

 

But I think a more business attitude is needed. For the sake of the situation. 

 

 

Less watching television. 

Less watching politicians speak and less of the political theater 

Less reading hyperbole. 

Less listening to doomsday commentators 

 

If you think being prepared on more of a personal level is good enough then so be it, I don’t have any problem with that. 

 

That is good. It is better than nothing. 

 

And, if you have others you know, who are doing the same on a personal level, that is also good. 

 

But I think it would also be of benefit to reflect and meditate on these questions, if not in a group, at least personally, and if possible in your current situation to do the part you can. 
 

I will try to do mine. Thank you. 
 

 

 

     King George the Third crushes and defeats the American colonists. 

 

 

 

King George the Third was woefully lacking in strategic insight and cunning stratagems. 

 

Neither he nor his parliament fully grasped psychology and psychological warfare. 

 

They could have crushed the British American colonists by psychological trickery. 

 

He could have pacified and subdued their opposition and ire. 

 

They could have muted the wisest counselors and promoters of the rights of man. 

 

How you ask? 

 

Simply, have King George The Third keep delaying doing anything, have him keep making promises that he will do something about the colonies gripes, that he will honor their petitions and grievances, that changes will be made, in good time. 

 

Tell the people: 

 

Just be patient. 

 

He is on it. 

 

Then have King George the Third visit the colonies, shaking hands and kissing babies. 

 

Have him or members of parliament make speeches extolling the American colonials, how much he loves and appreciates them. 
 

(George Grenville) 

 

How much they value the colonists sacrifices after their heroic services in the French and Indian war. 

 

How thankful they are at the wealth they have poured into the British Empire. 

 

Then feign a threatening radical domestic opposition to King George III and the safety of the state. Tell the people there have been discovered machinations to remove him. 

 

Expose and disclose the plans but allow the idea to fester as still having legs. 

 

And amazingly you have pacified the citizens into doing nothing! 

 

James Otis, John Dickinson, Thomas Paine, Jefferson, Washington, Adams, Patrick Henry, Hamilton, Madison, George Mason, all the founders are looked on as extremists! 

 

 

Don’t you know fine sirs, King George and parliament will get to it! 

 

There is nothing to worry about gentlemen! 

 

He will resolve this! 

 

Trust him! 

 

Calm down! 

 

He will change the policy! 

 

Plus, have you not heard about the coup which that radical opposition group has planned or attempted on our King? 

 

 Patrick Henry and George Mason would have persisted, Jefferson and Adams would not have let up. 

 

Then, throw them in prison now! 

 

They are endangering the peace, they are flat out radicals, how dare you defy the King and question his sacred word and promises?! 

 

This is flat out rebellion, we will not have this! 

 

The King has much on his plate to deal with! 

 

There is crisis in his government! 

 

But Liberty, But our Natural Rights my fellow countrymen, this matters, it is in dire straits, please hear us out, 

 

Forget your rebellious and radical liberty, forget that talk, King George III will secure us our liberty after this crisis! 

 

If you persist in this nonsense, Off to prison you go! 

 

They are imprisoned for questioning the King and inciting rebellion. 

 

All while the stamp act and taxes remain in place, all while the same ministers remains in leadership and perpetuates this overbearing policy, all while British troops remain in American colonies, effectively implanting your stronghold. 

 

Is it possible some such trick is being played on you? 

 

 

 

    

                            A Test

 

In 1774, men began to declare liberty 

In 2020, men are beginning to beg for safety 

 

In 1776, they took the word of the truly wise

In 2020, a single authority’s word will suffice

 

In 1942, men embarked to save the world

In 2020, men are kicking the world

 

In 2001, men ran freely into burning buildings 

In 2020, men scurry masked into isolated buildings 

 

In 1965, men peacefully spoke and protested

In 2020, men violently loot and attack 

 

The day given is the same for all, in all times, eras and ages, 

Yet what we see is that one rises while the other falls

 

So, when all is said and done what will Americans say,

That they lost their way of life or that they nobly strove with every single day? 

 

Blessed is the man that takes advantage of liberty and prosperity 

Cursed is the man that is tempted into perfidy and infamy 

 

Man is here for a moment, fleeting like a shadow, the hour glass never stopping, precious time, sacredly lent, yet like grains of sand slipping through his fingers, 

 

So one asks, what is the point? 

 

What is this foisted drama?

 

What is this short time given for? 

 

 Let the answer here be declared, to the cowardly and daring a like, to all with ears willing to hear and hearts willing to accept, 

 

It is a test from Man

 

It is a test from GOD

 

In the arena, we call life

 

On the stage, we call the world 

 

We are but dust and blood; 

We are but bone and marrow;

We are but a single beating heart; 

We are but fragile limb and muscle

 

But there is a spark that infuses us with something greater to meet this challenge, to accept this drama, in this arena, on this stage, 

 

This heat and fire touches us all

It is the divine and nature’s sacred call 

It is virtue, valor, wisdom and justice all

 

But who is willing to find it, hold it and keep it? 

 

History tells the story: 

 

Wide is the way to defeat and disgrace, and many take it

Large is the gate that accepts them in their new horrid place

 

Narrow is the way to glory and victory, and few take it

Small is the door that accepts them onto their new champion’s floor

 

God and posterity is on the other side,  waiting before that gate, waiting before that door, so what will we say? 

 

Say, I missed the test 

Say, I didn’t know it was a test

Say, I couldn’t see the test

Say, I couldn’t come to believe it was a test 

Say, I didn’t have the strength to meet the test 

 

I AM SORRY! 
 

OR

 

..................

 

 

 

 

    As tough as the state of affairs is in the United States of America, one question must be asked to return us back to hope. 

 

Would you want to start a life and a family anywhere else in the world right now? 

 

We have a glorious heritage

 

We were blessed with an auspicious beginning 

 

We were first constructed as a nation by wise political leaders 

 

We redeemed the nation of an original abhorrent practice 

 

We have brave and valiant citizens 

 

We have workmen and tradesmen willing to toil eight hour, ten hour days in mines, steel mills, lumber yards, shops, factories, on farms and ranches, on sites of great buildings

 

We have been gifted liberty and rights that place a crown of protection on our heads and exemplifies to the world that the rights of man are sacred

 

We are in possession of great physical boundaries that physically separates us from the problems of the European and Asian worlds

 

We have wealth and riches and natural resources beyond imagination 

 

We have citizens who dream big, who work to the bone to realize those dreams  

 

But we are in a perilous moment in our history. 

 

We are gradually becoming a diseased, frail, and damaged nation, a broken down body, a divided land. 

 

And so how do we heal up these wounds and injuries and restore the United States from being merely a divided land with opportunity ever weakening, and restore it to become THE land of opportunity and ever strengthening, a shining city on a hill? 

 

Only by uniting the people on shared principle and belief. 

 

Can a rational mind truly think that American unity can ever be re-attained with this much selfishness, emotion, clouded judgement, identity politics, blind trust, and attention to trivialities? 
 

And that this nation as is, is built to last on such terms? 

 

Remove from your mind such foolish and childish notions. 

Only one way remains. 

 

We must re-calibrate and re-strengthen our spiritual and moral bonds.

 

These have the power to purify a nation of its vicious self-destroying hate and division, bonds sparked by elements more powerful than chemical, of faith, hope, love, brotherhood, sparking and transforming into common interests which then meld them together like steel, into one structure, into one nation. 

 

These bonds are: the natural and common hopes we have for our children and families, and our faith in the guidance and wisdom of an creator.  If we cannot agree on these two principles as a nation and a political society, we are doomed to a life of severe injury and re-injuries, of self-induced diseases and illnesses, of drastic life-threatening surgeries and emergencies, always trying to heal the body after the event, only addressing the issue when the major crisis arrives, but never, never avoiding it shrewdly by prevention. 

 

As the Roman Fabius Maximus so said: “EVENTS only, are the instructors of fools”. 

 

When the next event hits, to bring upon us and afflict us with our new sickness, we will cry out for money hungry doctors to operate upon us with their surgical tricks, when all we had to do was follow the advice of that wise sage sitting quietly in the background, the man with no advanced technical degree, who employed no fancy words, the man who advocated the natural preventive remedy in the simplest, humblest and most straightforward terms. Yet we refused to listen, we looked down at him, and puffed our proverbial chest at him, deluded and entranced by appearance, disregarding substance. 

 

We will continue to become a slave to atrocious and bizarre occurrences, in total subservience to operators and their gimmick drugs, turning into one with a frail body for the rest of our days, which were all preventable by the use of reason. 

 

This is the future which lies ahead if we do not recognize this and endeavor to change course. 

 

Right here. Right now.

 

There is not a moment to spare. 

 

I ask, why can we not attach ourselves in heart and mind to these TWO NOBLE IDEALS as if our very national survival depended upon it? 

 

Ideals that worthily asserts that we owe the expenditure of our blood, sweat and tears to our children and family, to their American future, combined with a dutiful spirit to a beneficent and loving divine providence who will protect us and facilitate that first ideal? 

 

Do not the words and admonitions of the first great American political leaders stir us at all? 

 

Thomas Jefferson: “acknowledging and adoring an over-ruling Providence, which by all its dispensations, proves that it delights in the happiness of man here, and his greater happiness hereafter-with all these blessings what is more necessary to make us a prosperous and happy people?“ 

 

George Washington: “Of all the dispositions which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports”. 

 

Benjamin Franklin: “The longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth – – that God governs in the affairs of men. 

And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid?”

 

“I therefore beg leave to move- – that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of heaven, and its blessings on our deliberations, be held in this Assembly every morning before we proceed to business” 

 

What else can be our foundational and operative ideals than these?
 

What else has the power to clear up our vision? 
 

What will the almighty do for us if we continue to refuse his aid and counsel? 

 

What else will quickly re-unite this nation, and lead it out of the labyrinth? 

 

Will the U.S. constitution come to our rescue? 
There are ways to circumvent it if you have not yet noticed. It is a near powerless instrument for a severely divided people. 

An obsession with current political theater? 

Tell me where this will lead. 

 

The two party system?

Feckless, controlled and spineless creatures led us here. 

 

A current gutsy political statesman? None such individual has entered high office in generations, none are in high office today. 

 

A constant attention to celebrities and entertainments? Most of these corrupt our judgment and clarity for such an important time as this. 

 

An never ending amazement with professional sports? They only distract us from focusing on what urgently matters and deserves our immediate undivided present attention. 

 

A faith in the popular press? They are controlled and directed by their own monied interests and agendas. 

 

A total trust in promising politicians? 

I believe such trust has hastened the landing us into this very situation. 

 

What can there be left to hope upon, but us to unite together upon these two noble ideals, to internalize them as most urgent, most imperative and most necessary in this our hour of trouble? 

 

With all the urgency and seriousness the situation demands, is it not possible what benefit these ideals could effect, 

 

By this we would pursue the truth 

 

By this we would work for the future of America’s youth, their liberty, their opportunities, their true interests 

 

By this we would lay it on the line by united efforts to get to the true root of our problems, of that which truly plagues and dogs us

 

By this we would turn off all entertainments that didn’t matter a scintilla to the future of this nation 

 

By this we would turn off the television news as not being a form of verified truth or knowledge and begin to independently think and understand more profoundly the important issues of the day

 

By this we would suspend our blind trust of those in power, those we do not even know, who may not even have our best interests at heart

 

By this we would have a radar to locate the bad from the good

 

By this we could see with open eyes two courses of actions and pursue the proper course after hearing out new but wiser counselors

 

If these possibilities don’t stir us, let us then harken back to the past to those great Americans of old. 

 

Looking at them as fine examples to spark us to our unity, 

 

Ask yourselves what ideals delivered them into blessed victory? 

 

 Do we believe their greatness came by accident or by the nothing  qualities which has led us into our current difficult troubles? 

 

Do we believe that they helped win the French and Indian war by this power of nothing? 

 

Do we think they shook off the British yoke by a power of nothing? 

 

Did they receive their glorious concepts, notions and principles of liberty from bureaucratic nothings and know it-alls or from strong, wise and worthy preachers in church pulpits? 

 

Did they survive the bone chilling winter of 1777 by loose entertainments, worship of celebrities, stuck to televisions and devices? 

 

Did they spend their days during the genesis of the nation engrossed in personal bickering and arguing over peripheral issues and trivialities? 

 

Do we really believe they created a charter and constitution of rights greater than anywhere in the world by reading hyperbolic news clippings, watching videos and listening to politicians utter lovely words and make high promises all day? 

 

Did they abolish slavery by this power of nothing? 

 

Did they become one nation after a scorched earth civil war by this power of nothing? 

 

Did they overcome Hitler and conquer the Pacific by nothing?

 

Did they help save a world by this pathetic power of nothing? 

 

Did they make comebacks from the most foul national tragedies by nothing? 

 

Something far greater drove these deeds.

 

Something we lack today. 

 

Yet their memory, their example, their selfless unity still runs boiling hot in our veins, only if we would realize the moment and tap into it. 

 

You may say, those were major national crises, you cannot say we are at a similar point, you are surely speaking out of order.

 

Well I say but look around you, just because it has not yet reached your door does not mean the hour of danger is not at hand or coming with all manner of speed.

 

If we refuse to recognize this danger, a danger self-induced, entered into by selfish motives, by identity politics, by caring for peripheral issues, by a severely clouded vision, by blind trust, we will relinquish our children’s future, and become a mockery to those fine Americans of the past.

 

Every drop of greatness which they transfused into us will wither away as we unravel and sink into oblivion. 

 

Our wisest but simplest and quietest counselors will be mocked at and refused a respectful hearing. 

 

Our deliberations will be confused and confounded  

 

Our hopes will be misplaced on the wrong men. 

 

Our moral and political calculations will be clouded. 

 

Our noble intentions will have no power. 

 

Our efforts will be futile. 

 

Our sacred American liberties will be to no avail 

 

Our massive geographical size will turn into our worst nightmare 

 

Our strengths will be turned into weaknesses

 

All, as our enemies laugh on

 

And then I don’t hesitate to say, 

 

We will perish like a strong and mighty lion, yelping in agony, so loud it can be heard beyond the farthest mountains

 

We will fall like a magnificent and beautiful house, crushing everything in its descent, as tears fall down from the dedicated workmen who built it by sweat, ache and pain

 

We will be like the beauty of untouched nature scorched by an arson, leaving but foul black dust and ashes 

 

We will be like a dauntless hiker who has toiled near to the top of a perilous mountain only to slip up and violently fall headlong to the bottom

 

We will be like a gallant race horse as it strove toward the stretch in near victory,  on the sudden stumbling, hurled into last place, wondering what could have been. 

 

We must reflect internally right now: 

 

What do we as Americans MOST believe in? 

 

What do we as Americans MOST care about? 

 

What do we as Americans think is MOST important in this life? 

 

How can it not be OUR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, THEIR FUTURE, AND OUR COMMON CREATOR? 

 

If not, then we are not a single people, not a sovereign nation-state, we are a fragmented, and broken down body! 

 

Where soon we may not be able to run! 

 

And after that we may not be able to walk! 

 

After that we may be bound to a wheelchair! 

 

After that we will be bed ridden! 

 

And then what is life after that? 

 

We need to answer all these questions and we need to answer them now. 

 

Is it not possible by humbly answering these questions we may forget all the hate and division, all the arrogance, all the pointless entertainments, all the political theater and fake pomp, all the fake promises, all the false pride, all the false hope, and regain a potent moral and truthful vision?

 

And may there form an unstoppable American unity never seen before. 

 

 Where we may then rise again to become THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY, as it was said of America of old: “There is a place in the distance, a refuge, built by the finest men upon the noblest principles, who may shelter me in this my hour of need, I can see it, it shines as if the very almighty blesses it, only, only if I could reach it.” 

 

Our hour of need is at hand. 

 

And what do we have? 

 

Our Families. 

 

Our GOD. 

 

And I hope, 

 

Our UNITY. 
 

Now or Never.
