My Article I published on Friday, The Time To Throw Down Draws Near. Sooner Or Later It Is Going To Affect Us All, generated a good bit of discussion. I’m hoping that people will actually stand and fight now, and I am going to be interested in how many people show up for the protest on Sunday, August 1st.
But I would like to share with you a couple things that were sent to me and brought to my attention over the weekend. The first of which are a couple of quotes from our founding fathers:
“Duty to God, to ourselves, to Posterity, enforced by the cries of slaughtered innocents, have urged us to take up Arms in our Defense. Such a day as this was never before known, either to us or to our fathers.” Matthew Thornton: letter to the inhabitants of the Colony of New Hampshire – June 2, 1775
“There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free – if we mean to preserve inviolate these inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending – if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon, until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained – we must fight! – I repeat it sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts, is all that is left us!” Patrick Henry: speech to the Virginia Convention, March 23, 1775
I swear I have to be related to Patrick Henry somewhere down the line.
Perhaps the most important of the things brought to my attention this weekend was an excerpt from a self-defense book that one of my good friends has read:
The criteria that need to be met for people to turn to violence are well known:
1) Perceived justification – check – One more in a whole line of abuses, forced vaccination. It doesn’t matter if they’re by government or corporate at this point.
2) Lack of alternatives – check – in this case the alternative is to submit or potentially lose everything due to loss of income
3) Ability to carry out the violent acts – check – The gun is called an equalizer for a reason and the ubiquitous AR15 can both deliver a devastating amount of firepower in close quarters and accurately take out a target at 400 yards with a red dot sight.
The fourth, and final criteria, the one that I believe has been the one staying hands is:
4) Benefits outweigh the consequences. This ties into the lack of alternatives. When someone is going to lose everything they might decide to make someone else do the same.
So here we are at this moment in History. Everyone knows something is up, and evil it seems is making its play. Will You STAND?
Anyway I just wanted to share these few thoughts from the weekend with you.
Wes
Don’t even need to read anymore, when and where???
Been standing.
There is no other alternative fight.
Over the past 70 years or so,with 50 of them years being involved in trying to awaken the American to the coming destruction, that we now have upon us.I will put forth my humble opinion of how this will play out. 90% of the people will accept and obey this Evil government,10% will resist. After the shtf for real. 5% of the original 10% will fold,and this will leave 5% of us to stand and fight. And 5% is enough. Remember this you can not defeat a belief,when the ones holding this belief are willing to fight and die for what they believe in. To all my American Brother in Arms. I Salute you All. May the Protection and power of our Heavenly Father be with you,as we enter this fight for our Right to Exist as A people and a right to a Free and God fearing Nation.
Amen! Love your math here and I agree wholeheartedly. Funny, i posted the exact same comment myself on another article somewhere. This ” Patriot List” they have must be unreal!!
All over the world countries are rising up to fight tyranny, i am not sure i see enough of that here though. In the “Land of Fredom” 🤔 What’s really going on?
God bless America and her True fallen heroes! The pride this country had was unmatched….now what is it..
**almost the exact same
I say that two people who have never met,and they come up with the same numbers,then it must be pretty close to what will happen, good work. may God bless and guide you through the perilous times that lay ahead.
I have constantly read that only 3% of the population stood up during the revolutionary war. I don’t know if this included those that aided our soldiers or not. Either way Bob I agree with you and pray to God that the extra 2% are on deck to push back against this evil that now plagues our country and this world.
I have read only 3% took up arms. Another 10%-15% were actively involved in support and another 10% were sympathizers. the rest were tories, opportunists, fence sitters and quislings.
The post office keeps my bills until after they are due . My checks keep bouncing without a reason . Strange folks answer my post on craigslist and two people show up in same model year Chevy Suburbans with license plate numbers one digit apart . Our non 501C3 church is being spied on. A friendly employee of a local ammo/gun store paid me a visit and offered me a free box of 9 x 19 mm bullets for my Makarov . Do they hire nothing but morons ? Maks take 9 x 18 mm . The pressure is being applied . I’m ready for my dirt nap and more than willing to take some volunteers with me when I go . Hopefully several hundred . I doubt we will be going to the same place but hey , I’m more than willing to take them with me .
You left out this MOST IMPORTANT PART of the Patrick Henry speech : <i> ” Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”</i>
