There are also those in the liberty movement who cling to the notion that the fight against globalism will be won without physical conflict. They believe that if we simply protest long enough, play the political and legal game long enough, nullify long enough, refuse to participate long enough, that the elitist edifice, an edifice which has existed for centuries and has manipulated historical precedence for just as long, will suddenly disappear in a puff of fairy dust.

No one voluntarily steps away from power. Scolding a sociopath is a fools errand.

Brandon here must be a Millennial. Maybe he just got his college degree?

Let us keep the powder dry and the addresses of politicians and MSM folks stored.

When the Obamastuff hits the fan, we can use the former for both CW-II and stalking the latter.

George Washington did, at least three times. But he was clearly the exception.

I really need to take more seriously the two things I still lack on my KY property:
1. Solar power
2. A concealed carry permit.

I think the article is quite brilliant.
The saddest reality of the problem is that most all the people are beyond the hope of actually taking action in acting on the conclusion; they don't even have the comprehensive ability to hear and understand the message.

You will see negative and obfuscating reactions against Brandon's article from the those described behind the following links. Such reactions will come from people in all sides of established politics and related business and academic interests. His piece tends to sort them out, doesn't it.

The root pillar of elitist globalism itself is that some men are born to rule, while other men are born to serve. Some men are born kings, and other men are born slaves.

Wrong... in a sane world sometimes we're the people served and sometimes we do the serving. In communists hellholes there is the division the article speaks of... but not in a free country. Some I serve - some serve me.

‘’Kinetic glue’’? There’s two words in direction contradiction in meaning. This guy must be some Millennial stoner to come up with that kind of verbiage.
