“The further a society moves away from both understanding and paying for their liberty, in blood, the more they are susceptible to tyranny. The longer a society is suppressed by tyranny, the more they begin to hunger for liberty and an understanding of it, and the more they are willing to pay for liberty, in blood, once again. Until enough members of a society are willing to lay their down their lives in defense of, or the reclaiming of, individual liberty–self-determination sans coercion–they will always increasingly be tyrannized by individual, gang and State tyranny. Today, we live in a society where a vast majority are brainwashed that they are free, but live in a time of the greatest tyranny since our founding–a tyranny at so many levels our founders would never have tolerated for even one minute. The ‘progressive’ collectivist movement in America over the last one hundred years has known that an overt, direct and immediate revocation of rights that would enable their Utopic ‘one world government’ (really an elite, global oligarchy), would spawn a great uprising that could never be contained. But, they determined to progressively erode liberties and shift power to the central government away from the individual, the family unit, the city, the individual states towards the federal government, over time (Fabian Socialism). Individual liberties were to be gradually eroded. Power was to be shifted slowly and almost imperceptibly towards the central powers–banks, and powers-that-be behind the curtains–those who control the banks, commerce, the military and politics at the highest levels. The shadow government, the deep State, would be more and more controlled by the global elite through many mechanisms which would be imperceptible to the average individual voter. This increasing tyranny, however, that has resulted in intrusions into every area of our lives and a restriction by the State leviathan’s tentacles at ever level of our existence–from healthcare (Affordable Care Act) to security in our papers and privacy (Patriot Act), to ownership and control of our own property (Agenda 2030, 2021–U.N.), and to the basic natural rights to the most effective tools of self-defense codified in the Second Amendment (Small Arms Treaties and other local, national push for encroaching laws)– has brought about increasing uprisings and willingness to fight the Leviathan towards restored liberties. From Nevada, to Oregon, to elections that are displacing the powers-that-be, we are seeing the resistance mount. For any society that wishes to be free, it must first, draw a line in the sand at any encroachment. Second, it must elect those self-government representatives who would never allow such encroachment. Third, it must be willing to remove these [encroachers] from office by any means. And, finally, it must be willing to fight to restore liberty lost. How far are you willing to move away from liberty before you are willing to fight to restore and sustain liberty lost? Carry on.” DM Chaney “Thoughts on Liberty” (Drafts) (Remembering the Tiananmen Square uprising in June, 1989, may those freedom fighters who fought and died, RIP)
