NC Renegades

Watch it, then watch it again. Apply it to you and yours. Do you understand the game?

I understand that there are mentally challenged people. I understand that many of these people suffer from Dunning-Kruger. What I do not understand is how so many of these people are “elected” to Congress (and other government elected positions).

Our North Carolina State Constitution is illegal. The legislature knows it. I strongly recommend that you read our original state Constitution before the federal government illegally replaced it. There is a reason that restrictions were placed on voting in certain elections.

Words to consider as we enter turbulent times. Let us pray that our time of bondage will be short and that our rebirth in the salvation of the Lord comes quickly.

David DeGerolamo

The trials you now are facing
They are not greater than your will
For there is nothing under heaven
You cannot overcome
See the door that lies before you
And know this too shall pass
The confrontation of your fears
In strength drawn from the past
Where the silent voices whisper
Find the course that is your own
And however great the obstacle
You will never be alone
For I have watched the path of angels
And I have heard the heavens roar
There is strife within the tempest
But there is calm within the eye of the storm

In fragments of an instant
The chaos has returned
And all that was left to sentiment
Beneath the banner burned
And as that voice was slow receded
Into echoes, memory
My doubts were re-ignited
And fear awakened from its sleep

I believe in what I fight for
And I have paid for it with pain
I am here because my contributions
May help turn this fate away
And all who stood by and did nothing
Who are they to criticise?
The sacrifices of others
Our blood has bought their lives

This is the moment of truth
At the point of no return
Place faith in your convictions
As the boundaries start to blur

There is no love untouched by hate
No unity without discord
There is no courage without fear
There is no peace without a war
There is no wisdom without regret
No admiration without scorn
There is strife within the tempest
But there is calm in the eye of the storm

The pages of our history
Are written by the hand
With eyes and ears and prejudice
Too far removed to understand
And so the heroes of the ages
Are stripped of honesty and love
To make them seem less noble
And hide what we can become

If you find the courage within you
To face the path ahead
It matters not the outcome
If what you will gain instead
Is a heart deepened in the knowing
That experience carves the soul
And the very thing that empties you
Shall surely make you whole
Where the silent voices whisper
Find the course that is your own
And however great the obstacle
You will never be alone
For I have watched the path of angels
And I have heard the heavens roar
There is strife within the tempest
But calm in the eye of the storm

It’s not funny. As we’re often told, correctly, America is a diverse country now and becoming more so. A diverse society can only survive by finding shared values and shared goals and pursuing them collectively.

However, when a country collapses into a feud between racial or ethnic or religious factions, that country fails — every time. Warring tribes — that is where this is pushing us.

“Imagine if we all ignored the divisive elements on both sides degrading our country and focus on building a better world for our children.” David DeGerolamo

When I read this yesterday I smiled. Then I realized there is only one way to reach this future for our children and I frowned.
I’m not sure when it happened, but a point in time came and Americans divided and we are not going to come back together peacefully.
We are divided on everything. From Life to Race to, well you name it we are divided. And I mean deeply divided.

I witnessed this deep division Monday night at the Salisbury City Council meeting on the Fame Statue. A statue that has been in Salisbury since 1905 is now so offensive to a group of people that they want it removed. And the hatred that they displayed and spoke of should give you pause. They didn’t much like me calling them what they are to their face either.
We all know that there is a war coming. There is no stopping it now. We are too deeply divided and can’t even agree on the simplest of things. History has a way of repeating.
The other side views us as evil. We view them as evil. Our side prays to God that this war won’t happen. Their side well they booed God on National TV in our own backyard in Charlotte NC in 2012.
The metaphor for evil is darkness. No more than the absence of truth. A void of reality. Like darkness, Evil has no power of its own. These people on the other side are giving Evil its power.
Evil throughout time has only been defeated in one way. Violence. We are going to have to fight for this better world.
Get your head right. Prepare for what is coming. Harden your Hearts. Love the ones close to you while you can.
Decision time is fast approaching.

I believe people have this concept of the Boogaloo as something out of The Patriot. Straight lines of uniformed target opportunities and well defined “sides”.

It isn’t going to be at all like this.

There will be multiple “sides” that you may fit into at once. There may really be none you fit into. There will be horror like this ground hasn’t seen since the 1860s and it will simply break many. Normal people, people you know, will be trying to end you. If not themselves, by providing intel to those that will.

Do not mistake the thin veneer of society for safety, for trust.

It won’t be wide spread, at first. Rumblings here and there, a bit-o-Boogaloo yonder, a bit in a city far away. It won’t be out in the open, at least for the serious players. It’ll be in the dark and quiet and well thought out.

I have posted this thought stream many times, here I am again.

Get. Your. Mind. Right.

It’s coming. It’ll happen fast and it’ll be unstoppable until it runs out of fuel once it goes full throttle. They will not let you alone, they will not coexist. Decide now what you are willing to do, and to not do, and cement that into yourself.

Don’t mistake “R” for ally. Don’t mistake neighbor for tribe. Don’t mistake a relative for blood. Don’t mistake a uniform for fairness.

Your tribe is your nation now.

Pray.

Tick Tock.

Bill Whittle finds three reasons to break up Google, YouTube, Facebook and other social media companies that use algorithms to suppress free speech. This is not merely the revenge of the Right over demonetization. Bias without consent, practical monopoly status, and the distinction between carriers and publishers all lead to the conclusion that even conservatives should cheer the dissolution of these “private” businesses.
