Whoever is really in charge in Washington, D.C. has been making every effort possible to bring down the United States of America. That has been obvious for a while now. Everyone in Congress knows it. Most of them are going along, fighting tiny battles to “win” meaningless concessions on enormous spending and ridiculous restrictions of American freedom so they can keep their small part of power. Biden’s anonymous, faceless, nameless handlers are dismantling the system put in place by the Founders and Framers so they can, in the words of the Birthday Bash hypocrite (i.e., Obama) “fundamentally transform” the United States. They want to create it in their image, not the image of freedom, not the democratic republic that the Constitution was written to create and ensure. Does that sound like paranoia? Conspiracy? It shouldn’t, because it’s all taking place in public view. A few remaining loyal members of Congress are going on TV to tell us about it. Tucker Carlson puts it on the air every night. President Trump messages the world about it, even though the tech giants try to shut him down. Surprisingly, the left talks openly about it, too. They say it at their gatherings and in their TED talks, they say it on air on MSNBC and CNN. They say it in schools under the faux-academics of Critical Race Theory. They openly say they are doing this, we see them doing it, they spend billions doing it, and people still act like they aren’t doing it! Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) spoke to Buck Sexton and Clay Travis, and said outright one of the key ways the left plans to do this: Permanent Pandemic. She said people “do not want the federal government to come in and mandate masks or mandate vaccines or to mandate lockdowns. But here’s what we have to realize. The left likes lockdowns because it gives them control. They would like to have a permanent pandemic. They would like to keep you in that state, so you’re dependent on them.” “You look at the bills and things that are coming through us,” Blackburn said. “What are they trying to do? Make people dependent on the federal government by taking more money out of your pocket, having it go to Washington, D.C., go to programs that will have outlived their usefulness by the time our kids and grandkids have to start paying this bill. That’s what they like.” That is what they want. It’s what they’re doing. It’s what’s happening to us. It’s simple. It’s not complicated. You can explain it in less than a minute, and a United States Senator is confirming it out loud. But Google, Facebook and Twitter daily label it “misinformation,” as if they are some kind of authority on the subject. They are not, but that doesn’t matter. That’s all part of the plan. Without leadership, “patriot deplorables” throughout our nation are waiting . . . and waiting . . . and waiting. We can’t act without a plan, without cohesive leadership. We must ask ourselves, at what point will we have missed our opportunity to take back our nation? This is not a call for patriot deplorable action. This is the expression of hope and prayer for leadership to present itself. That is sorely lacking in our elected representatives at this moment in history. So, what to do? The only thing open to us: Start the revolution ourselves. In recent weeks my thoughts have been roiled by a series of questions that now I feel compelled to put down in writing. These are root questions about the nature of what I am calling the Counter-Revolution ― an organized and growing network of people nationwide increasingly willing to push back against the revolutionary tide of Fascism and the “Woke” New Faith-Ideology. What is fascinating about the Counter-Revolution is the surprising political breadth of the people that have been brought together under its tent of opposition. Classic liberals, conservatives, and libertarians; social conservatives, rationalist humanists and atheists; Christians, Jews, Muslims, and neo-reactionaries ― all are at least silently wondering if we are seeing a universal existential threat to our collective survival. This diversity produces what the Fascists dialecticians would be quick to label as contradictions ― fundamental differences in sociopolitical theory that, if not transformed by seeking the common goal of all, will fracture the Counter-Revolution. Four big questions are at the core of those contradictions. Those questions are essentially the ones that will shape the future of our nation, particularly a future reflective of its past and the great democratic republican experiment that just recently celebrated its 245th birthday. The questions are not easily answered, nor are they really new questions at all. The more the counter-revolutionaries move from analysis to action, however, the more pressing they will become ― and the more productive open debate will be in determining a course of action.
