   The Real Price of Freedom and Liberty

   Americans know, when something bad is happening, and if anyone looks hard at this current debacle that has been building for years, it is obvious that there is this Huge Power holding America hostage, that’s incomprehensible to many of my countrymen. We see there isn’t any truly effective way in the halls of Congress and the state legislatures to properly influence it, let alone stop it and its destructive machinations. And, in the process of this fighting this fight, we keep in the forefront of our minds and our hearts that the only thing most Americans want is to just be free, to respect other people and have those individuals respect them; we want to be protected by the law, in order that we may do those things we most desire and to enjoy an abundance of Freedom and Liberty.

   But most Americans can’t slog through all the nit-pick, nitty-gritty plethora of laws and regulations the govt has built over the centuries. Its a hard as anything to battle against the Monster — the Leviathan — that’s coming our way, as we fight to restore and preserve freedom and liberty.

   American freedom-loving conservatives, Christians and independents feel a resentment in their gut, that they are left defenseless, short of a great financial cost to filter through all the legalistic jargon, the terms and the reams of U.S. codes.

   Our rights are rights — Inalienable and God-given — and we shouldn’t have to buy our rights again through one legal battle after the next, one major hassle after another. The American people shouldn’t be put in the position of being in a constant battle with Big Centralized Government — or any government — that has the expertise and the major finances behind it, in order to “win” our rights again in any court, or eventually on any battlefield again, when that day finally arrives.

   Look at the number of times we hear of stories of regular citizens who fought the IRS or the ATF and beat them at a heavy cost to themselves. We hear them in the retelling saying, “I beat them, but it took me ten years [sometimes they may say 20 or 30 years] and it cost me twenty-thousand dollars”, and for many of us, we are left shaking our heads, because that sounds almost like a prison sentence. Twenty or thirty years and twenty-thousand dollars, or more, and one is left asking, “Who is the real winner here”, because they still get us anyway one looks at the situation.

   One may have won, but they’re worn out and nearly physically and mentally broke by the fight, nearly literally “dead right”. It’s enough to sicken any real American patriot to their very core and their own righteous conscience.

   Any American currently paying good attention full well understands the nation is on shaky ground these days in many respects and in many segments of our society. Americans are rightfully worried over government power growing exponentially towards tyranny and grabbing so much power that directly serves to negate, eradicate and trample on our freedom and individual liberty, to the point that U.S. citizens can be spied upon without any adherence to the 4th Amendment and people can be arrested and held for virtually any reason chosen by the arresting government agent.

   Americans are told so many times, by so-called “conservatives” and establishment Republicans, that all you can do is beg the the Tyrant to change, to the point that they feel as though they’ve been kicked in the gut by the Government Boot again. We are told that we can commit our life to a long, slow trudge uphill in an attempt to reform the Leviathan and set the nation back on course to the Original Intent of the Founders and those traditions and principles upon which America was founded, and to hear so-called “leaders” take such a defeatist tact is disheartening and enough to give one a sinking feeling, one of drowning in an ocean’s tempest.

   Is this really the price of freedom and liberty? Is this our only chance? Maybe to get elected and go to D,C., where we aren’t supposed to own a firearm according the many D.C. officials, in order to stop tyranny? It’s close to an overwhelming mission to consider for the average U.S. citizen.

   There’s a miles long list of things we can do that have been suggested over the decades, by many politicians and pundits, that will serve to secure our rights more firmly in the future, but they all seem to pretty much amount to keep bowing and scraping, begging them and kissing their rings and maybe they will finally listen one day, if there’s enough of us confronting them. Well, here’s what is what in this matter. That doesn’t really resonate with me or any Free Born American’s spirit, our hearts and our minds, simply because however right they may be, their way goes against the grain of everything it means to be free, to be an individual able to live by way of an abundance of liberty and everything it means to be an American, in the truest sense of the name.

   Many of us still hold knowledge that has seemingly been long forgotten by most of America, that may appear unconventional means to secure freedom but are means that have existed throughout all of human history.

   There are many things for every American to consider, in regards to our massive government, this massive Beast we’re attempting to reform and draw back in line with the principles of freedom. One must understand one’s enemy, in order to understand their mechanisms and machinations and how we arrived to this point that we are virtually at the mercy of an out-of-control government, that acts as though we are here to serve the State, rather than acknowledge the fact that the government bureaucrats and elected officials are here to serve us, the American people.

   Anyone who would attempt to take away the rights that are granted to us all by God is an enemy to us all. Anybody issuing executive orders without any basis in statute and U.S. code, or a state code, and creates “law” from whole cloth, from nothing at all, on their arbitrary words and diktats alone, is an enemy of the American people. Anybody, who stands on their own authority to deny us our rights and demands we obey because they said so, are tyrants advancing tyranny in our country, and they are the enemy from within and the enemy of good, decent, righteous American patriots, the U.S. Constitution and this America we love so well.

   And this places a large number of people in our “enemies” category, but that’s alright, because the truth is the truth and it must be recognized, if we are to right this nation and restore America.

   Let’s look at the money situation, since this is the main tool of tyranny. The manipulation of our economic system and our currency was the start of getting America so far off base and far removed from Her Original Principles. And it all comes down to legal theory and what Americans allowed to be presented as “law” and enforced as such, by way of illegitimate means.

   The Federal Reserve is neither “federal” or a “reserve” in any true or legitimate legal sense of the words, since it is actually a cooperative of private banks that are named after their best customer. They are allowed to print up money out of thin air — to essentially print trillions of dollars from thin air — and then turn around and loan it to the federal government with interest. That’s a damn great deal for them, and it’s how they acquire so much of their own wealth, in large part; the Income Tax Act was passed in 1913, at the same time the Federal Reserve Act was passed, and it serves to pay them to some significant degree, too.

   On Christmas Eve 1913 there wasn’t even a proper quorum of legislators on hand to legitimately pass these malignant, malevolent mechanisms of the Communists and Fascists into law. The entire affair was criminal as all hell, but to be expected from the fascist in the White House at the time, Woodrow Wilson, who was a strong proponent for Marxist and globalist machinations of the day.

   An unimaginable harm to America was set in motion that year that would play out over the next century.

   Printing up money from nothing is a terrible idea from a multitude of lines of reason, starting with the fact that dollars react to supply and demand, just like any commodity item or retail item in the market. When the number of dollars in circulation is increased, the value of each one of those dollar bills decreases. The value lost in those bills, or the retirement account many Americans rely upon, is value transferred to whoever printed those dollars, whether it’s the U.S. Treasury — as it once was — a counterfeiter, or the Federal Reserve Bank, as it stands today.

   This is the primary reason that our Founding Fathers, in their infinite wisdom, wrote in the U.S. Constitution that no state shall make anything other than gold or silver coin a payment in tender for their debts. This is brilliant, because gold and silver coins can’t be churned out on a printing press; America would be better off, if these criminals were actually printing our currency today, but they are simply holding down the zero key on their computers until they have enough of them to suit their spending projections and agenda, and they simply send them out in an email.

   The end result is enough hard-earned dollars and enough value has to be stolen from the American people in a significant quantity to make that email balance, to make it worth something, to authorize people to spend those new dollars they’ve just injected into the economy. Once these new dollars enter the economy, they cause prices to rise.

   Once one examines the national debt as something one’s children and grandchildren are going to be stuck paying off for many long years, it is more than enough to make anyone angry. But there’s also another angle and dynamic in action with the national debt. In recent years, the government simply prints a massive new batch of money, destroying the current value of the dollar, while making more dollars necessary to do the same amount of work in the economy, due to supply and demand, and prices rise accordingly. And so, in a few years, when a Big Mac is $29.99, it’s just one sign of how we all end up paying the national debt, one way or another, in the here and now or on down the road where its effects are much more significant, dire and destructive to the nation on the whole.

   It’s all pretty much an underhanded way to generate funds for Big Centralized Government and the Big Banks, because If the federal government had attempted to raise taxes to match their spending, they would have had a rebellion on their hands many years ago. This is essentially a backdoor method of taxation.

   For example, say one had a hundred thousand dollars in real capital and assets and the government sent them a tax bill for 30 percent. One might get pretty hot over seeing such a bill. So, rather than try to collect extra taxes in so obvious a fashion, our federal government, through the Federal Reserve Bank, simply prints a bunch of money, expanding the amount of money in circulation to meet their target, and it reduces the purchasing power of one’s dollars by the thirty percent they sought.

   Whether the government bills one $30,000 on a $100,000 or drives down the purchasing power of the dollar by thirty percent, it still robs the American people of the ability to redeem their currency for the full, proper and real asset value of the currency for a valuable commodity item or service that one may want. They basically tax us in a manner that doesn’t so readily hit us right between the eyes.

   Not only does this system weaken the individual in order to strengthen the government, but then they take the money they’ve stolen from us all and give it back to the states, with strings attached. The Feds dangle this money in front of the State, basically telling them, we will give you this money, if you will do this one thing and another to the people of your state; we are all currently witnessing this in the Education Department and the Biden administration’s advocacy of the racist Critical Race Theory and an agenda to target all conservative and Christian white people, standing in opposition to his Marxist/Maoist policies.

   Once the State signs on with the program, it is essentially working for whatever agenda the money is tied to funding and implementing. This is the precise manner that the federal government has acted as an empire, under which all people serve it, rather than a republic in the service of a Free people with actual and very real rights by way of the Bill of Rights and as seen in Nature and under Natural Law created by God.

   God gave every human being a right to life, liberty and property and a corresponding obligation to defend those rights, as an individual and through the establishment of governments to do the same.

   Today, as our government and the elitist oligarchs in control of it have become greatly distanced from the real everyday Americans on the streets, and under normal circumstances, if our republic were functioning as envisioned by the Founders, their power should have been diminished by the people themselves, as any part of sound reasoning and under the rule of law. However, with the manipulation of the flow of money, where the Federal Reserve can just snatch the money away from the people and give it straight to the federal Government, the republic itself is severely damaged and ceases to function as a republic.

   This has made America more closely resemble an empire, where the chain of command follows the flow of money, and suddenly, all Americans find that the most far away, the most distant, the most inaccessible to ‘We the People’ of the federal and state governments, or even the international concerns and interests some of them, such as John Kerry, the Climate Czar, serve are telling us what our rights are and aren’t, in the manner of one granting privilege rather than administering actual codes created for and by the people themselves.

   Basically, the federal government is robbing the American people blind and giving the states a cut, to cooperate with them, too often against the best interests of the American people, just as we’ve all seen unfold via the COVID hoax and the exponential growth of power as it manifested itself on all levels of government, through mask mandates and mandatory statewide and nationwide lockdowns, along with the current push that is leaning towards mandatory Covid vaccinations. The powers-that-be don’t dictate the terms of how and when the American people are to be subjugated — no — they just buy our supposed “representatives” and have them do the dirty work of betraying the American people.

   As an aside, one should note they do this in all the Western nations and any nation that utilizes Big Centralized Banking, fiat currency and currency manipulation to control its economy.

   They bribe our states away from us and make our states betray us. They give our sheriffs’ departments a bunch of federal money; and when we go there to tell the sheriff we elected that we demand protection from those who would trample on our rights, no matter what they call themselves or how they are organized, i.e. the domestic terrorists of Black Lives Matter and Antifa and the foot soldiers of the Democratic Party — since the sheriffs’ department is the one closest to the people of each community — too often a reluctant sheriff is found, because the very people we seek protection from are the people providing a large amount of that sheriff’s funding.

   No better examples of this dynamic are seen than through the events that surrounded the stand off at the Bundy Ranch and the stand off at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon, where LaVoy Finicum met his death by murder at the hands of the FBI and the Oregon State Patrol, in his fight to secure states’ rights and stop the illegal seizure of states’ lands by the federal government; one local county’s sheriff was opposed to Finicum and the group of men he represented, while another nearby sheriff was very sympathetic and was going to meet with Finicum the day he was shot and killed.

   Now, many communities find themselves faced with a sheriff with split loyalties, because we’re no longer a free republic; we’re a monetized, inflationary empire.

   Many 1950s socialists, like John Maynard Keynes, were the drivers behind this current insane monetary and economic theory and the inflation associated with it. Keynes even acknowledged that robbing this money form people hurts them, but he justified it as a necessary means to an end, saying that the government’s use of that money in the economy actually boosted the economy and served the people better, in the long run.

   This is what has been taught in American business schools for decades, and the greatest percentage of those schools have been subsidized and funded for decades by those same fiat dollars that are creating America’s woes. Naturally, these schools are toeing the line to keep the money spigot open and flowing.

   However, the reality of this Keynesian monetary theory reveals that when the federal government robs the American people of their real capital, this action in no way creates investment, as suggested by socialist economists. It creates mal-investment, because it is an investment that has grown around artificial government dollars rather than a natural demand in the market. And so businesses grow around this stolen money that is unstable, traveling from place to place, and it creates a bubble — a stock bubble, a housing bubble, a tech bubble.

   All of these bubbles that America has seen burst over the past three decades have had their origins in this injected stolen money. Now why is this good for politicians? This is good for politicians, because they can inject this money where their friends, their cronies, need it; they can inject it where they need votes and where they need cash donors for their campaigns. And this is the reason politicians love this system.

   However, the bubbles also place politicians between a rock and a hard spot very often, as they also catch grief from foreign holders of U.S. dollars, because now they’re losing money. This prompts the halt to the cash injections and brings about the bursting of the bubble and the recession that follows.

   But if one looks at a high school textbook today, students are being taught that “depressions are causeless anomalies”. That’s FDR era bullshit. This is the state of our monetary system.

   And, regardless of any policy or law one wishes to analyze, America will also find that our Senators and Representatives aren’t nearly as powerful, as many of us would like to think that they are. Whenever one attempts to talk to any of these elected officials to get down to the hard brass tacks of why it seems to be such an ordeal for Americans to retain their freedoms and liberties, it becomes apparent that many of them are afraid of the Alphabet Agencies — the IRS, the FBI, the CIA, the ATF, the ECA, the DEA and any others I may have missed. Taken together, these agencies very nearly act as little governments unto themselves, and very often, they make their own rules and regulations that have the full weight of “law”, effectively circumventing the normal three branches of government, through what many of us recognize as administrative tyranny.

   Ask any federal employee of an agency or a bureau, what an agency or a bureau is and what is its real purpose and many times one will be met by blank silence, or a flatly stated “I don’t know”. It is a difficult thing to understand just what “service” the Internal Revenue Service provides to the American people, since it would actually seem to have been created purely to serve the interests of the centralized federal government. So many federal employees haven’t any real clue as to the real mission behind their respective agencies. But it would be most interesting to find who they are actually accountable to, since we saw several of them flatly refuse to obey legal and lawful orders from President Donald J. Trump during his tenure as President of the United States of America.

   How is this even possible in America today, in the 21st century?

   These bureaus, agencies and unconstitutional species of government, they consolidate all three functions of the three branches of government into one. They create regulations that have the force of “law”. They have their own enforcers who will come out and knock a citizen’s door to the floor, if one isn’t following their rules, regulations and edicts. So right there we see the legislative and executive functions in action. Then, once a person is dragged out in zip-ties, that person goes before them for a review, before it actually goes to the actual judiciary and a “real” court, and in essence, this is how they circumvent the checks and balances of our government.

   This is a consolidation of all government powers and a parallel government and its administrative tyrannical controls, that are so entrenched and so powerful in our federal government and state governments too, our Congressmen and Senators are very often afraid of it too. What more proof does anyone need than what we witnessed from the FBI and DOJ, weaponized under Obama, that engaged in an outright counterintelligence operation and sedition, espionage and treason against a duly-elected sitting U.S. President. Even the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is so afraid that he crapped his pants at the thought of hearing anything remotely related to the Theft of the 2020 Election, so afraid that he wouldn’t even do his absolute Constitutional duty to hear Texas’s grievance over the election results and that massive fraud that occurred in states, such as Pennsylvania, Georgia, Minnesota and Arizona.

   Congress is very nearly held neutered and impotent these days as real legislators. They even went so far as to certify an illegitimate election result founded on illegally acquired Electoral College Votes, on the false premise that President Trump’s supporters were trying to halt the results on January 6th 2021, when the civil unrest broke out and the Capitol Building was breached. Several Senators had already stated the election was stolen, but then backed away from that position after the Capitol unrest; that had nothing to do with the validity of the election results and those Senators’ actions were from fear of reprisals. If the election was considered stolen prior to January 6th, a group of people’s disruptive actions didn’t make that any less true that day or the next day, or a four months later. This is making the role of Congress very nearly ceremonial, reducing them to a sideshow at the local carnival.

   Americans must realize now more than ever that a greater hidden power within our government, whether it’s being directed by the military industrial complex, the CIA or whatever this entity called “the Deep State” may be, is something that was never behind the intentions of America’s Founders. Americans must face this and reckon with it now, soon,

   How many times have we witnessed Americans going up against the federal government, or even a state government, with everything researched and documented and all their Constitutional arguments more than sound and in full order, only to be denied relief or the victory based on the logic and substance of their accurate legal brief and presentation of their case?

   Americans often appeal to the government based on the rule of law, calling them on the carpet and before a court, based on logic and the Constitution, all ironed out and perfect — appealing to them — on the merits of law, and they still remain unheard and without satisfactory redress of their grievances or any real satisfactory resolution, that gives any of us the real sense that our government could give two hoots and a red cent about our Bill of Rights and our Inalienable God-given Rights.

   We see people appear before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, desiring to go all the way to the Supreme Court, only to hear some leftist activist judge say “We’re not going to hear your case”, and upon questioning them with “Why not”, one hears, “because you don’t have standing” or some other disingenuous lying-ass, two-faced arbitrary tyrannically motivated reason, much as the Supreme Court had the audacity to tell Texas it didn’t have standing in its case against the State of Pennsylvania.

   This isn’t an oversimplification or an exaggeration. This is what they do and then it’s simply “next please” for them.

   One can have the entire case laid out perfectly from a Constitutional standpoint, for instance in the case of the 16th Amendment and the IRS being and unconstitutional entity and illegally “passed” piece of legislation. One can show how the Income Tax was never properly ratified and it’s an unconstitutional act that came about through a temporary war measure and place all the pertinent laws before the Court, laid out in perfect fashion, via U.S. code and “the rule of law”, and still one can lose, depending on one’s legal team and the judge on any given day.

   And there’s quite a few people who have actually fought paying Income tax based on these laws, with seventeen prevailing, but there are many more people who haven’t fought this or any other unconstitutional edict based on our laws, because — and here’s the secret — our government no longer operates under “the rule of law”.

   Our government operates under the rule of force. It’s not the rule of law but rather the threat of force that guides our domestic legal codes and their application and resolution these days.

   Look at the Oxford Dictionary and one finds the meaning of “terrorism” to be “the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.” Wow … if that doesn’t describe the Biden administration perfectly, I don’t know what does, especially now that they are targeting white conservatives, Christians and independents across the board as “radical extremists” and having Gen. Austin combing through the U.S. Military for “white supremacists”.

   Too many Americans submit to the government out of the fear of the possible consequences, while many others submit, because they believe if it’s “the law” they must do so, and if there is any discrepancy later found, it will be corrected in short order. And that’s exactly where we’ve arrived — the rule of force supplanting the rule of law. And that’s a terrible realization for any American to awaken to understand.

   Fear it or welcome it, but our government is not going to hear us until we speak in their language, the language of force. And while this doesn’t necessarily mean violence, make no mistake that I will kill in order to remain a free man and defend freedom and liberty for America’s children and their children’s children.

   We often hear many pundits ask someone “would you die for liberty”, when the right question to ask is “would you kill for liberty.” If one will kill for liberty, it goes without saying that they are prepared to die for liberty.

   However, force doesn’t necessarily have to be violence. It can be as simple as directing and pushing the government into submission to the law, through non-violent means, such as hassling it in between such a rock and a hard spot that it has to respond in the affirmative to one’s demands.

   One may not even have to do such a thing.

   But we certainly won’t beat them at the polls, because the people cannot overcome such an overwhelming force and votes that were bought and purchased through money that was stolen from us, in the first place.

   And the powers-that-be know this. They know that all they have to do is to steal enough money from a broad enough base — or just mail out ballots everywhere without any names associated with them for verification purposes — and give it to a big enough base to secure their re-election. They’ve figured it out and refined it over the decades, and they just keep sending the American populace back through those same turnstiles repeatedly, like a tired re-run of an old B movie, telling us to “vote ’em out of you’re angry”; and in the meantime, they laugh behind closed doors knowing they have an army of corrupt individuals awaiting their backing and payoffs to set them up to be “elected” (read “installed”) next.

   As long as they keep the people focused on this single recourse of “vote ’em out”, they know they can keep the scam going for years. And if anyone in the right circle to see this as a fact speaks up to say “this isn’t right”, they soon find themselves back on the outside looking in.

   This is the reason so many Americans feel that dull aching pain in their heart and a sinking feeling in their gut. They see the overwhelming nature of the Leviathan than confronts them and threatens everything in their lives that they hold dear. It’s as if they are tasked with throwing themselves in front of a speeding locomotive in order to try to stop it, knowing it’s not going to work, before they ever do it.

   Americans have sensed this for many long years, even if they never heard anyone speak of it before today.

   Without a doubt, America is in dire straights and a more than difficult situation, as the calls are going out across the land for Her patriots to rush to Her aid and Her defense. She needs Her heroes, wherever they are to be found.

   Americans have gone through an exhausting process since 2000, and today many of us find ourselves hating the situation we find ourselves living in the here and now, for whatever the reason. We’ve been handed one insurmountable challenge after another, feeling somewhat defeated at times, as we try to fight our way out of the dark hard place we are at this time in history. It’s time for us to rise up and be all that history demands us to be for the sake of our children and their children’s children and all generations left to come.

   American patriots are facing the most important mission of their lives, in stopping the current onslaught of the Democratic Party Communists under Joe Biden and the tyranny that is associated with him and his people. Bonds are being formed, as we see this is a fight that may actually require many of us to place our lives on the line, and there’s a good chance many of us won’t live to see the final days of this battle for freedom in America. It’s a fight that will require leaders who can galvanize conservatives, seize the day and bring them together in order to overcome the growing tyranny in our country and press on to ensure that the forces of Truth, Life, Liberty and God emerge victorious on the other side of this war, in which failure is not any option whatsoever, not for a people resolved to accept nothing less than complete and total freedom and liberty for themselves, their families and all those whom they love.

   Anyone who fears dying in the defense of Americans’ freedom will be useless in this fight. For this to succeed, each of us must accept, that as much as any of us want to live to see a free America once again, some of us may die in the coming fight, that is certain to turn into a full-blown hot civil war in the not too distant future. Fight to live another day, fight for freedom and liberty, but fear not stepping on across that narrow divide between life and death with the stakes set so high for all who love this America so dearly.

   We are back to square one, right? Where is Patrick Henry to give his speech again? Give me liberty or give me death speech! Some people are already losing their minds and the real battle hasn’t even begun yet! As a baseball player named Yogi Berra supposedly said once ” It ain’t over till its over”. Don’t leave the field in the 3rd inning because you are behind. Adapt, improvise, etc. Remember, we are still armed as a nation, people. Heck, even George Washington had trouble in the beginning beating the British, but he liked the ending, right? Identifying the enemies within our government is the important thing right now. They need to be dealt with first. People like the Council on Foreign Relation, the Bilderberg Group, the Illuminati, etc. Know your enemies is the key. I would suggest to you that the reason why the government traitors are showing their cards now is not because they think they have won, but because they are afraid they are losing. They are desperate to keep the hang man’s noose from around their neck. This was bound to happen when they were being exposed. Just like the Rocky movie scene where the guy said Rocky was getting creamed and Rockies’ guy said no he is getting mad fits the events now. The fight has not really even started yet, people. You are doing a good job of exposing the corruption in our government right now. Keep getting the word out to the naive people. Waking up the most people possible before the shooting really starts is the key to saving the country. If we can wake up enough of the people before war breaks out, we may be able to save our Republic without much bloodshed. Heck, the establishment had to steal the last election in order to stay in power. That is not a sign of being in charge. The investigations showing they stoled the election is the reason why they are panicking now. Sometimes people can’t see that all of the chaos is because the good guys are starting to win, not lose.

   This is everything my family and I believe. It’s time to Surge sursus
