The question is how to beat this hold they have on our media, judiciary, leadership, and education.
I really see no alternative to an intervention by God. It’s gotten to that point.
Armed revolution is unlikely. That leaves self-protection as you say — self sufficiency — and fervent prayer for God to act in some society changing way that hopefully will allow us to rise back in our lifetimes to being a free people.
The media, academia, etc. are empowered by the same corrupt institutions to divide the people into subsets and render them powerless.
Freepers and like minded citizens represent a minority of the public and that's why we're getting steamrolled on every issue, even after we win elections.
I wish I had something positive to say..........
