..”If the public are bound to yield obedience to laws to which they cannot give their approbation, they are slaves to those who make such laws and enforce them.”.. ~Sam Adams
The overwhelming majority of dictates around COVID-19 mitigation are not laws, they are rules created by un-elected bureaucrats. There was no debate; no input from representative government; and no option for the public to weigh-in on the decisions. All unilateral rules are arbitrary, and despite many proclamations to the contrary, they rely upon voluntary compliance. As soon as citizens no longer voluntarily comply, the term of the rules has expired. Liberty must remain inherent. The removal of liberty requires consent.
Senator and Doctor Rand Paul (R-KY) stands to say we are now at a crossroads; at a moment of truth, and he will help lead the effort to withdraw consent if the federal government continues attempting to restrict liberty based around false, misleading and manipulated science. WATCH:
The power of government comes from the people; or as we say in the U.S. “from the consent of the governed.” When people lead, the politicians are forced to follow. Without implied consent the municipal or state government has no power. None.
The power of the local, regional or state authority comes from the expressed consent of the people. As soon as the majority of people deny that consent, those officials and state authoritarians lose all of their power. Yes, it really is that simple.
Those who construct the systems of control need to weaponize fear. Fear of arrest; fear of losing a business; fear of losing liberty or financial security. Local, regional and state officials rely on fear. As soon as We The People are no longer fearful, the control ends.REMINDER – When I share the message “live your best life”, it is not without purpose. Every moment that we allow the COVID and leftist onslaught to deter us from living our dreams, is a moment those who oppose our nation view as us taking a knee.
Do not allow this effort to succeed.
You might ask yourself how can I, one person, a flea looking into a furnace, retain an optimistic disposition while all around me seems chaotic and mad.
That’s the point; it ‘seems’ chaotic and mad because it has been created to appear that way. There are more of us than them; they just control the systems that allow us to connect, share messages, and recognize the scale of our assembly.
Every second that you live your life with thankfulness for the abundance within it; every moment that we CHOOSE to engage with fellowship; every day that we accept guidance from God – however you define him to be; and every moment we cherish this time to be a beacon of optimism; is a moment that we withstand that barrage and hold the flag in place. It is a genuinely patriotic position not to succumb to the attack.
If you allow yourself to be drawn into crisis and despair, you allow them to win. If your center of normal is based around this overwhelming onslaught, you will eventually concede liberty in favor of peace. Once we stop living in liberty, we no longer have peace.
There is damage behind the masks, the soulless eyes, the lack of smiles and the absence of joy. We must recognize just how much damage is being done; not just to our nation as a whole, but also to every individual within it – personally.
We must shake this mindset. We must withstand this onslaught and rally to the origin of our true national spirit. We must rally to a standard of Americanism and accept this is not that. In essence, we must individually take a stand. Purposefully, deliberately and with forethought, we must engage those around us to get rid of this sense of foreboding.
This approach is how we win the larger battle.
All around us, in every tribe and region, there are people who need you to show them the strength that you have. Strength of spirit. Strength of fellowship that you will not relent from expressing. No matter what noise is shouting from the loudspeakers, we must withstand it; we must make eye contact and remain joyful. We cannot allow despair to be the status quo.
Our nation needs more people like you, right now. Don’t wait… engage life, get optimistic, however you need to do it. Then, let that part of you shine right now… This is how we fight. Hold up that flag; give the starter smile… rally to the standard you create and spread fellowship again. God knows we need it.
Lift your spirits. I cannot tell you how much of a difference it makes right now; not only to this internet community, but to our nation as a whole. Choose to be optimistic. Live your best life right now. Look around, there are people working valiantly with great purpose, support them. Remember, this is the only life we have – so seize this day, and then the next, and then keep going.
We live in the greatest nation on the face of the earth. We are the people of that nation, with boundless opportunities most of the world can only dream of. Our opposition has nothing but false witness, fear and lies. Push on them, they are weak and shallow.
We are Americans…. Those who are working against our interests thrive in an atmosphere of despair and disenfranchisement – do not give it to them. Carry an optimistic spirit, regardless of how challenging. Do not fuel our opposition with the power of fear. Be strong right now; be happy right now; demand action, you are worth it.
Do not give evil elements an inch of space within your heart. Expect and demand accountability. Do not worry about being perceived as an a**hole about it.
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” ~Joshua 1:9
Quit listening to those who say “can’t” and “won’t”… If some feel comfortable sitting in their socially distant box and bitching about all things that are not right, or might be not be right…. Or, if they prefer to allow themselves to be overcome with dark imaginings simply because what cannot be done is more comfortable than the effort to oversee what needs to be done…. well, that’s okay.
They can do that. And when they are done doing that, they’ll still be in the same place.
However, you can choose to be positive and take action. Rally your spirits to a standard of worthiness; because you are worth so much more. We are on the right side of history. We are being guided.
And they eventually Lose.
Agree.
Yes.
Ron Paul is similar to Rand in many ways.
He did not draw the same following that his son does.
Both understand what is happening.
Their responses are similar, but not the same.
Great speech. Talk is cheap.
Right now we need to rally around our troops to protect them from being forced to take this vaccine. They are helpless against this despotic regime without us.
I reflect upon the description of the Ceausescu Moment.
It was said it was over the moment Ceausescu realized that their fear of death was no longer holding them back. He was dead very quickly after that moment on the balcony arguing with an old woman.
The end of he and his wife was not pretty. But their evil power died with them.
Totally agree about the military. He is doing all he can to totally destroy the USA.
We must never lose sight of that.
There is not much to admire about Ceausescu, except for that one thing. Losing a fear of death is a blessing, and a very admirable trait.

Our young people in the military are slated to become chattel in a political power play and they are being set up to not have any say at all in the matter. The troop are helpless. They can’t just walk away to protect themselves.
None of any of this makes any sense. Why insist on vaccinating a population of some of the worlds healthiest people with a vaccine that does not protect them from infection, anyone from being infected by them, is irreversible and has uncertain but likely dangerous long term effects against their will?
I think you don’t understand what kind of war this is.
They are trying to block that from happening. I’ve struggled with it this evening.
I have ways of frustrating that.
Agree. But it makes sense if you put some of the pieces together. No single perspective covers it. But those who explain segments, one on top of another show what the real plot and attack is.
Agree. It was not Ceausescu that lost the fear of death, it was his slaves.
They dealt with him pretty quickly. The video’s were pathetic.
But he was incredibly evil.
As it stands, he’s the ONLY one with some backbone. There are others but they’ve been so marginalized that their voices will not be heard.
Everything changes if he were to show up somewhere, tomorrow or the next day, with the other 49 Senators and as many House Republicans the room can hold, to take a stand.
However......we all know that’ll never happen.
Wonder how many Republicans have substantial stock in Moderna, Pfizer, Blackrock and Vanguard.
AJ had a great 1st hour on all of this today and the situation we are in.

Agree 100%. We have hit the rev limiter on stupid….
So stop wearing that stupid mask!
(Not you singly, bigbob, ALL Americans who give a darn should rip off those masks).
