“Did you know? Mel Gibson’s film, The Patriot, was based on real people and events?
In fact, it was originally written to be a biographical film, with the explicit, “THE FOLLOWING IS BASED ON A TRUE STORY” wording at its beginning—as revealed by a leaked 1998 screenplay— but after the film producers were threatened by outraged British scholars, spouting lies about the film’s subject, threatening to destroy its credibility in the public square before it was even released, the producers opted to change the names of the entire cast and market it as pure historical fiction. It was not fiction—though artistic license was used on select scenes. Cancel culture took this from us.
...
Today, we take it back.”

“You now face the same unenviable decision that your ancestors faced in 1775: submit or revolt.
Should you choose the latter, you must also choose to believe in each other; Because without each other, you cannot succeed. You will fail, regardless of whatever Donald Trump and the patriots behind him have up their sleeve.
You must choose to come together—not just as conservatives, or Christians, or Trump-supporters—but as American Patriots. If we are to weather this storm, we must build a real coalition strong enough to become the fist of reckoning against the globalist oligarchy. That will mean making peace with our rivals, so that, together, we can destroy our common enemy.
Devolution is the anvil, President Trump is the hammer; We The People must now become the blacksmith’s arm that wields it. That is what my next article will address, in lieu of Chapter 2.
In the meantime, recalibrate your minds for the 5GW battlefield. Follow in the footsteps of Francis Marion, and become partisan guerillas in the swamps of cyberspace. Harass and frustrate the enemy’s efforts to deploy narratives designed to subjugate the minds of our people. Sabotage their messaging; flood the airwaves with counter-narratives; reek havoc on their psyche. Look to Chris Paul for leadership. Let him be your militia captain. (Then become one, yourself.) Learn to work together, and coordinate an effective 5GW counterinsurgency.”
Francis Marion. That reminds me of The Swamp Fox, 9 episodes on the actions of Francis Marion. Starring Leslie Nielsen. I loved it as a kid, glued to the TV after school.
