Open Letter to President Trump, Part II: Act Now! Do NOT Wait for Jan 6
oathkeepers.org ^ | 12/23/20 | Stewart Rhodes

President Trump,

Today, December 23, is the anniversary of the reading of Thomas Paine’s The American Crisis, Number 1, to Washington’s troops as they prepared their minds, bodies, and spirits for the critical battle of Trenton, which turned the tide of the war. General Washington had suffered defeat after defeat, and both he and his men were worn down. Many of his men were demoralized. He needed a victory, and to get one, he needed to go on the offensive. And he did. He ordered Thomas Paine’s immortal words read aloud to his men, to get their minds right, and then General Washington penned a simple note to himself: “victory or death” – which became the password for the operation to cross the Delaware and attack the Hessians. At that time, there were many on both sides predicting his inevitable defeat, declaring that he was done, that the cause was lost. Many turned against him. But Washington did not listen to the doubting Thomas’s who were urging him to give up, to try to make a deal with the enemy. Instead, he went on the offensive. He attacked. And he won.

Like Washington, you have suffered defeats, treachery, and people you trusted abandoning you, or even turning on you (modern day “Benedict Arnolds” abound). Like Washington, you have people in your ear, urging you to give up, to make a deal. Don’t do it. Follow Washington’s example and attack.

...

We pointed out that this is a matter of duty, and is your final, last chance to save this Republic. To that, we add the following:

You are running out of time.

Invoke the Insurrection Act now. A rally in DC on Jan6 to hear a bunch of speechifying is too little, too late.

Patriots need the word to assemble and I do not mean peacefully on the square.

By acting or not acting a politician only stands to loose his seat at the money counting table. The President will be fine in returning to private life. But we the people have everything to lose. Our Liberty and Freedom, our jobs, our homes, our children’s future. Our Blood. To us there is no other action but to prevent the Communist from entering the White House. After that, only blood.

I genuinely don’t think a word should (should) be needed. If, in any sort of movement from teenagers having a house party to more weighty matters, a word is really needed then that movement would be in trouble since the enemy (be it dutiful parents trying to stop their kids from a bash to Red Coats trying to stop the birth of a nation) only need prevent or delay the giver of the word from uttering it for a while until it is too late. Which is why you are seeing ‘the stall’ where there will be no real legal hearings until after the 20th.

I almost see it like how in corporate emails one never puts many people on the ‘to’ section. Doing so usually means no one ever responds since each person is waiting for another person to do it.

But hey, what do I know? Apart from there are only 26 days left (and that is if I use the long count). Per my understanding of the Constitution I believed it was the 14th of December that was a very critical day, but I noticed several people who were saying that was a critical date moved it to the 23rd of December (yesterday, when VP Pence was supposed to make some sort of announcement that never happened), while others say it’s the 6th of January (when again VP Pence is able to throw out EC votes, which is not my understanding but that what’s they say). So, now I’m using 20th January because there’s no way things can be pushed back beyond that, is there? So, by that count it’s 26 days left.

Just because you CAN call out the troops doesn't mean you should

The Insurrection Act allows a hell of a lot more than just troops in the street.

It actually allows for troops to PROTECT Americans' Second Amendment.

Suspending Habeas Corpus can and should be selective ... like ... every house democrat .... you really don't HAVE to give an explanation ... just do it.

Consider all the positives of The Insurrection Act and in whose hands it will be.

Just DO IT, Mr. President !

“Insurrection Act”

Trump already merits the rank of buffoon first class.

He’s not acting like a guy that’s going anywhere. Watch for that boomerang.

Stewart Rhodes as usual is right on point. Trump is paralyzed at this point surrounded by naysayers. Patrick Byrne described it in his recount of the meeting with Sydney Powell and Michael Flynn the other night. it’s root hog or die time.
