“The wealthier you can get the more influence you will have.

Patriots need to increase their wealth and put it to work to further their agenda.”


The U.S. Declaration of Independence states that “when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government”

WHY we aren’t doing so, leads me to believe that my country fellowmen/women have been subdued to the point they have no fight left in them and thus, would rather have their lives dictated to them, instead of remaining FREE....as our Lord has made us to be.

Increasing one’s wealth in order to thwart an opposing agenda, is no different than trying to put out a fire, with fire. It’s really no surprise, or doubt that this is exactly what has gotten us the country we have today. And now, with, and by the usurper’s proclamation that he shall forego the law of the land and do what HE feels like doing....what kind of “money” do you think is going to thwart that? If you want to win a war...you must KNOW who your enemy is. You must THINK like the enemy, and know the full desire of his heart so that you may expose his weakness...which is HE, himself.

We should be crying out to God for His Mercy, and for Him to lift His hand of Judgement from us, therefore making way for us to defeat the enemy. We cannot overcome our adversary OTHERWISE. I pray that my fellow countrymen/women extend themselves to do this. To rebuke the ‘chains’ we have been bound by through our inaction, and come together, KNOWING, that through Honor, Integrity, Duty, and Compassion can we salvage what’s been damaged. And more importantly, the “will” to restore our nation while we still have one. I’d like to believe, that there IS such a force available within us. UNITED.

Shall we?....my fellow countrymen and women?

The time is NOW.

Have you ever heard of a concept called "supply chain" ? Grocery stores nowadays keep very low inventories on hand and receive trucks on a daily basis to restock.

Americans in the time of the revolutions mostly lived on farms in a very simple economy relative to today, and thus were far less reliant on stores for food and supplies. The men could more realistically pack up and go fight and have some chance that their family would have survived and their farm would still be there if they came back, though that was frequently not the case.

Today most people live hand-to-mouth. They can not go more than a few weeks or perhaps months without needing a paycheck, and they have bills to pay monthly. In order to not be fired, they must show up to work and conform to company policies. If they own their home they would most certainly lose it in a "revolution" type scenario. Government benefits would doubtless not go to any poor who had been "revolutionaries" unless they completely gave up their arms and basically dignity.

These realities are why an armed revolution or war of any kind on American soil, or really in all developed countries, would be so extremely painful, and participation would be so low, as to render it practically impossible.

What most people don't seem to want to admit is that having wealth gives one choices. Wealthy people do not have to show up to work unless they choose to. Wealthy people have most of the political influence. The real "revolution" would be to not vote for a Congressman, but get one of your own elected. That takes money, grassroots organizing, etc. Similar spreading of the Gospel is also what's needed. A moral, intelligent, hardworking population would be more receptive to moral leadership than an immoral, stupid, lazy population.

But committing to trying to gain wealth and influence means having to work, plan and sacrifice, and run the risk of not succeeding very much, which would be embarrassing, so a lot of folks prefer to harbor hope for a mythical "revolution" rather than knuckle down and get to the business of taking their country back.
