A CALL TO ARMS

CALL TO ARMS

In the last week, Joe Biden's handlers decided to have Josef Stolen commit an act that was so controversial, so unconstitutional, that it would knock the Afghanistan fiasco off the News Misleadia headlines. It worked, of course, as it would with a willing sycophantic press.

Leaving aside for a moment that this behavior is very reminiscent of Barak Obama's tenure -- and all that the similarities imply -- let's dwell for a moment on his actions.

The two most controversial initiatives and utterances were:

1) That he was going to use Executive Orders to force all businesses with 100 or more employees to mandate vaccinations (or enforce weekly Covid testing), and

2) That if Governors opposed him, he would 'get them out of the way.'

To the first initiative, it is quite clear that this is an wildly unconstitutional act, with utterly no basis in law. That is not how this nation works. If he wanted such a scenario to be implemented, he should have asked Congress to pass a law, had the Senate ratify it, then signed the bill.

To the second statement, that he would 'get governors out of the way': While it sounds like bullying and bravado, Biden actually has a vehicle he can use. It is called the Insurrection Act. It can be used for two reasons: If a State has difficulty with rioting and civil disorder, the Federal government can either be asked by that State, or simply step in, with troops. The second reason it can be invoked is that a State willfully disobeys a Federal law.

The Insurrection Act, written in 1807, has been employed (for the second reason, willful disobedience of a State) several times in our history, one such example (in 1963) being when National Guard troops were deployed to escort black students to the University of Alabama to enforce a desegregation law.

If the States of Florida or Texas refuse to permit or help enforce the (admittedly unconstitutional) the vaccine mandate on companies who employ 100 persons or more, these States risk Biden invoking the Insurrection Act and marching National Guard troops in to force cooperation, or shut those companies down.

The only recourse for those states that wish to defy this unconstitutional Executive Order is to go through the courts on an expedited basis.

So, what are we, the common citizen, to do? Individual acts of violent resistance are possible, but unlikely to cause change, unless very spontaneous and widespread in nature. Organized acts of violence are even less likely to cause change, what with modern surveillance and infiltration techniques available to the Federal powers.

But there is something we can do.

We can stand in SOLIDARITY with one another and RESIST all the unconstitutional acts, both those that exist now, and those that will surely come in the wake of the present lawlessness.

Do you remember, during the Trump administration, how most of his initiatives and efforts were stymied by many who simply refused to comply? Often, they had 'RESIST' on blue bumper stickers on their cars. Through the actions of individuals who were imbedded in government, and those who were not, many of Trumps' initiatives were slow-walked or thwarted. We can do the same.

RESIST. Do not comply with an illegal Executive Order. If you can afford to, make the employer fire you, then lodge a wrongful termination lawsuit, and contact your State to join a class action suit against this illegal executive order. In the meantime, get employment at a company that has 99 employees.

STAND IN SOLIDARITY. Stand together with your compatriots. Do not abandon them. If you know of someone who forced an employer to fire them in defiance of an illegal Federal Executive Order, see if you can support them financially a little. If you can afford to, and are vaccinated already, claim you are not. Force your employer to fire you. File lawsuits. Grind the machine to a halt. Organize, protest, shut things down, just as the left did.

To signal our solidarity, do as the left did: Put a bumper sticker on your car that has the word RESIST on it, to signal to like-minded citizens that we stand together. We will make ours Red, to distinguish ourselves from the leftist.

Do this with absolutely every illegal proclamation that emanates from this out-of-control, Obama-directed White House.

SOLIDARITY. RESIST.

A quick note about this very forum: We have our differences among ourselves. Now is the time to put aside those differences and unite against a common foe: Dictatorship. I don't care if you are pro-vax. I don't care if you are anti-vax. I do care if you oppose tyranny. WE MUST STAND IN SOLIDARITY.

SOLIDARITY. RESIST.

From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be rememberèd—
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.

Not sure how states can counteract OSHA enacting, as directed by the Federal Executive, workplace safety rules as empowered to by Congress.

Yes, Leaning, you ARE a wimp.

“These people are out there & gaining strength” precisely because of cowards like you.

“All that is required for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.”

Grow a pair and RESIST . Maybe it will help your depression.

I can see using the term RESIST in a bad way and good way. I don’t like the idea of copying the left. Some people won’t catch the color difference and just assume you’re a dem. The only good part of it would be on social media #RESIST because the left would click the hashtag. The left pretty much already owns RESIST though.

Then it is time we take it back.

I'm sick of the left 'owning' phrases. "Gay", for example. Don't surrender one vowel, not even one constanant. To paraphrase Stalin: NOT ONE WORD BACK.

RESIST becomes OUR new mantra.

And to Sequoya and Rita: We of like mind will know what it means. That is enough. We will see a RED Resist bumper sticker, with the resistor symbol, and we will smile, knowing there is yet one more person who thinks as we do.

Morale is key to victory.

Ran across some UK girl on twitter who makes graphics for posters.

I have no idea what the QR code does.

Another one would be:

Vaccine Mandates?
What About
Natural Immunity?

But with text centered of course

If the Founding Fathers risked having their lives and property taken and their families dispersed or killed, certainly you can risk a slashed tire or two.

I’m going to stress and really stress two very important things that everybody had for your public this wonderful website run by Jen Robinson should understand

Going forward if you just understand these two things you will be able to successfully not poison yourself and also prevent yourself from getting ill from pathogens

1- Never ever get any shots of anything!!!! unless you know exactly what it is - and why you’re getting it. Never ever get any vaccines or flu shots or tetanus. Nothing.

Not only do the shots not work —. in most cases they either caused the problem or cause a separate problem

OK the second one is - maintaining good health

My top-secret antibiotic and antiviral agent ? colloidal silver

Colloidal silver. Make and drink it EVERYDAY OF YOUR LIFE AS I DO

You’ll never get sick - and you’ll never fear any viruses

The federal government is very aware of the incredible ability of the silver ion

This is absolutely not debatable

and it’s been many years since they try to put forth FAKE BULLSHIT a conditions caused by taking too much silver

such as “”argyria”. or turning you blue

It’s amazing how many people back in the day it either seen the blue dude or the gray lady did the government tried to put forth the same what would happen to you if you took silver

No children silver really does work !!!!

and if you noticed in this whole discussion FOR 20 MONTHS

nobody’s even talking about it

I’ve seen a couple of mentions here there

Everybody and their sister has now heard of hydroxychloroquine. Ivermectin. Which is GREAT GREAT. THESE ARE GREAT OLD PROVEN MEDICINES TOO !

And tries the government might they can’t suppress it or prevent you from purchasing these to for example or vitamins and others

But here’s the thing silver is a liquid YOU CAN MAKE IT FOR FREE !

you can make it any strength you want

you can gargle it

you can put it in your nose

you can put it on cuts

You can put it on animals

There is no downside to taking silver ions and there is tremendous upside

This whole medical Tierney argument could easily be avoided if everybody listens to this advice

Why? Because you will no longer fear viruses!!! Or bacteria !!

The legislation enacted by Congress refers to PPE.

The legislation says nothing about so-called “vaccines” that do nothing to prevent transmission of the virus. Joe Stolen can’t create a vaccine mandate out of thin air.

The time for peaceful resistance is coming to an end. The left flat out doesn’t care what we do. They don’t think we will do anything of any great consequence. For the most part, they are right. Extreme civil disobedience is coming.

Thx. Just a moment ago I thought it got removed, but it must have been a browser glitch, because it simply wasn’t there, even on refresh.
