Citizens threatened into compliance are no match for citizens inspired to reach for higher ideals.
There are two great battles dominating Western nations today. The first is political and involves a contest between freedom-minded citizens and an ever-expanding State. The second is cultural (or perhaps, more accurately, spiritual) and involves a contest between fear-driven dogma and inspiration-driven ideals. Globalization, or the secular religion dedicated to the concentration of power into the hands of an elite few, runs on the energy of fear. Liberty movements that abhor the current trend toward a new-world-order framework intent on micromanaging human activity run instead on human ideals. Of the two battles now raging, the cultural battle is more significant because its capacity for influencing hearts and minds will drive the future political outcome. In a real sense, we are in a war between what to fear and what to cherish.
There are those who see the rapid advancements of the national security surveillance state, the unveiling of artificial intelligence systems capable of monitoring behavior and censoring speech, and the emergence of central bank digital currencies as determinative proof that a centralized, technocratic “ruling class” will soon be capable of enforcing total social control. The power of fear-inducing intimidation rests with its appearance of inevitability, if not invincibility.
Yet personal experience teaches people that fear is no match for inspiration. The soldier on the battlefield fighting for freedom will charge forward when the conscripted soldier hesitates. The dissident caught behind another Iron Curtain will risk life and limb when the Iron Curtain’s servants risk neither. Steadfast service to God will give a man an unearthly armor when belief in nothing gives man nothing.

I think I would make a rather bad slave.
The slave doesn’t dream about freedom. No, the slave dreams about being the master.
bttt
There are more of “We The People” than there of them. The deep state, military industrial complex according to Eisenhower, has been. lying stealing and destroying our liberties for over 100 years. They developed debt slavery as one method to control us.
UNACCOUNTABLE TOTALITARIAN COLLECTIVISTS vs individual. Government vs citizen ALERT!
The Nazi Klaus Schwab and his World Enslavement Forum want $3.5 Trillion a years to Decarbonize the planet(exterminate 90% of the planet) which is insane because we live on a Carbon Based Planet
They properly fear our 500,000,000 guns.
This is the One I serve and every knee will bow to Him one day. Ready or not.
And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.~ Revelation 19:16
“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”~Matthew 10:28
I’m old, 74 next month. I have two bad knees, a disc issue in my back and few other issues.
I can still put 3 out of 4 in the black at fifty yards, however. I think my age is an advantage. Yesterday I visited Don and Vic’s graves. They were high school friends of mine who died in Vietnam. They missed marriage, children and, best of all, grandchildren. If I have to fight, I won’t have missed these things.
I’m willing, able and almost eager. These globalists really don’t know what they’re up against.
“Fear the Unconquerable”
