Stand Up and Lead

Wes wrote an excellent article concerning leadership in our nation. Mike Shelby (Sam Culper) also posted a tweet concerning this topic which has merit. I know both men and have a high regard for their intellectual abilities. Which one is correct?

Let’s look at this from another viewpoint: culture. How does our culture differ from that in the 1770s?

1. People had Christian faith in God. Other religions played no role in our government or culture. There were differences between denominations but the Bible was well read, understood and most importantly, preached by real churches. This allowed them to put their lives into proper perspective. They recognized evil, public virtue, natural rights from God and wanted their children to have a better, more free life. They had honor, morality and feared God. We know that they were not perfect but they believed in personal sacrifice in order to be have Liberty.
2. Their lives were hard: if they did not work, they starved. Farms were ubiquitous and luxuries were few. They would not have traded hardship for any measures that would limit their freedom.
3. They understood the value of education. An eighth grade education was more rigorous than any high school education of today.
4. Communities were organized and they realized the importance of local governments, commerce and security.
5. Men did not live in fear: they rose up to fight evil.

So how did we get to living in fear of a tyrannical government? The answer is simple: our culture was erased. Educational facilities were turned into indoctrination centers. The federal government outlined in the Constitution was bastardized into a Deep State entity controlled by evil instead of the people. Churches submitted to the state instead of being righteous pulpits preaching the truth. Racism was used to erase our foundational principles to destroy the unity of the United States. People traded their honor, morality and righteousness for thirty pieces of government fiat currency.

We are just beginning to recognize that the peace and security offered by tyranny is an illusion. Any “wealth” accumulated by the rapidly erased middle class has been replaced by government debt as seen at the grocery store every week. Americans have been replaced by illegal aliens and H1B visas for a reason: both categories are compliant and they will accept their new masters as being better than their old masters.

The real question we should be asking ourselves is how to restore our personal honor to effectively fight evil. In other words, we need to become true believers and recognize that wealth and comfort do not supercede a righteous life with all of the requirements that it demands.

Americans want quick fixes and they want to be left alone. We will not win this civil war that many of you recognize but most of the nation will not acknowledge. Seventeen years into this fight for me has taught me many lessons.

1. Trust in the Lord with all of my heart. He is in control and He will give us divine Providence if we ask with humility.
2. People want to be led. Be careful that you do not trade one master for another one. Listen, pray and learn to discern truth from lies. Actions do speak louder than words. So does experience. One of the most important things that I learned from tactical training was to build knowledge and leadership skills at all levels. Another was this gem: the secret of good leadership is followship. Strong men will follow good leaders but weak men will follow new masters.
3. People in what is left of our culture will rise up when their pain threshold is breached. Unfortunately, the evil in our country has made us boiling frogs; we do not discern the existential danger to our lives.

The solutions to a free future are not hard to implement:

1. Close the borders and deport illegal aliens. Watch the price of government collapse when their subsidies for votes to illegal aliens are removed. Watch the price of housing, food and medical care collapse for the same reason.
2. Rescind all H1B visas. If the reason for H1B visas is to fill positions for which no qualified Americans exist, then the solution is to train Americans for these jobs. Let’s be clear, H1B visas are a means to pay less for employees, destroy the American culture and buy votes. Imagine our “masters” trying to convince us that the culture that built the greatest country in history is too stupid to do work in a modern world.
3. Reward critical thinking skills. A fact that I learned in nuclear engineering construction and reinforced later in graduate school is that other cultures have no critical thinking skills. This was part of their culture to make a compliant populace . This was especially apparent with Indians. I was never rewarded for excellence until I started my own company. In fact, my superiors held me back. I was told by an immediate supervisor on my last day at a nuclear power plant that for someone as smart as I was, I was stupid. I bit and asked why. He told me that I was held back from advancement because my supervisors were afraid of me.
4. We need to completely redo our educational system. Poor education and college debt are the main tools to enslave the people, destroy our culture and keep us stupid. This rebuild is easily done and would save billions of dollars, destroy the teachers’ union and restore the American dream.
5. Build community.

So who is right, Wes or Mike? We cannot follow leaders until we edify ourselves first. No one should follow a leader who has not shown himself to be an honorable man. Leaders have the necessity character to know when to listen, learn and make decisions based on facts, outcomes, experience and sacrifices. This is important: real leaders develop future leaders under them. They listen, train and point out mistakes. They also hold people responsible for their actions. Good people rise to the top. People who will make bad leaders become politicians.

If people want to be led by people who want to be leaders, we will not succeed. We will lose to evil. I chose to live a Godly life, say no to evil and pray that our people discern the truth. When the proper time comes, my community center will open its door and we will start the healing process to become a righteous nation in our area.
